For a moment Diara could hardly
see him. She was blind with emotion,
and her heart beat so fast it seemed TO
be budding up ii her throat, choking
her.
Then the nlists cleared. and she saw
him standing in the doorway, locking
at her with eyes that seemed half
ashamed, half pitying, half glad! Yes,
the gladness was tller, and with 4
little stnothered cry Diana held out
her arms to him.

in his arms.

to call some afternoon, when Miss
Startling would be out.
On Saturday Rathbone came at three
o'clock Diana heard his car come up
to the gate, and her eyes grew bright
with excitement
She was we'll enough now to feel
that she was about to be taken out of
prison; well enough to find the quiet
ness of the little room rather trying !;
she listened eagerly for his step on
the stair.
She could hear him downstairs talk
ing to Miss Starring. It seemed an
eternity till he came up to her.
"Well?" he said cheerily. "And how
Nogales international., 1932-06-29

are we to-day?"
She searched his face with eager
eyes.
"Are you going to take me out?"
He laughed. Didn't | promise? But
! let me look at you first"
"I'm much, much BETTER" she as
sured him earnestly.
After she had been dressed, Rath-
bone lifted her gently in his arms-she
was little more than featherweight-
and carefully carried her down the
narrow staircase of the tiny house.
The Creature was standing by the
cara different car to the one Diana
had seen drive down the lane when
Rathbone last came.
"I'm going to drive you myself"
he said as he carefully set her down
on the seat of the car where pillows
and rugs had already been methodi-
cally arranged by Miss Starting.
That means you're going to sit III
'front.'" Diana said disappointedly.
That's where the driver generally
sits, he answered calmly.
In less than half an hour they were
back at the cottage, and Jenny greeted
them at the door, her face all smiles,
her eyes very knowing as she looked
at Diana.
Have you enjoyed it, Miss?" she
asked, and Diana answered: 1T was
such little way-it was hardly worth
going for"
Rathbone laughed as he carried her
upstairs again and set her down in an
armchair.
That's base ingratitude," he said
cheerfully. And I've sacrificed my
Saturday afternoon to you"
She met the kindness of his eyes and
relented little
Thank you for taking me-" she
said.
She clung to his hand for moment.
I'll come again soon," he promised.
CHAPTER VI
| Monday was glorious day.
Diana woke with the throbbing SEN
sation that something good was going
to happen. Then she remembered.
| Dennis was coming.
She asked the Creature an anxious
question.
How long have I been here?"
Nearly three weeks"
1t was a lifetime. Three weeks
without once seeing Dennis
| She hoped the Creature would not
take it into her silly head to stay at
home this afternoon.
But the Creature went out.
Il shall be back by six" she told
Diana, "and Jenny will give you your
tea. Ring if you want anything"
Il shant want anything, thank you,
Diana said, but as soon as she was sure
Miss Startling was well away she rang
the bell
Jenny appeared readily.
Did you ring, Miss?" Jenny always
asked questions that were already
answered.
.Yes. Jenny, if gentleman calls
l-Jenny's smile widened-" SHOW him
up to me at once, please"
Four o'clock-she had said half-past
in her letter-it seemed an eternity as
she watched the slow hands of the
| little clock on the tnantelshelf.
| Presently she dozed little, awaking
with a start to find Jenny, flushed and
| agltated, standing beside the bed.
"Oh, miss-he's come-and l didn't
know if | ought to wake you"
Bring him up. Why didn't you
wake me before? .. Do I look ali
right?"
You look picture, MISS" Jenny
lied gaflantly.

She clung to him, half laughing,
half weeping.
He kissed her gently as he might
have kissed a child, but she seemed
contented and lay still, looking at him
with big eyes.
look at me, Dennis-you don't
look at me at ALL" she said.
He raised his eyes with an effort.
Tive been worrying about you,
Diana"
She smiled. It was sweet to hear him
say that.
"You need not" she told him. "I
shall soon be back in London to plague
you and quarrel with you again"
/ He turned his head quickly away.
and she said with a sharper intona-
! ton, is anything the matter? You
seem-strange, somehow. Is anything
the matter, Dennis?'
mo, at least" He broke off.
Something is the matter she in
sisted She tried to raise herself, but
the effort was too much, and she lay
back, trembling and breathing quickly.
"You frighten me- she whispered.
"You frighten me-"
He held her hand to his face-such
a frail, white little hand.
There's nothing to be frightened
about, my dear" He smiled to reassure
her. ITS only-I've got to go away
for 4 little Whiie-that'S why I came,
l had to see you before | went"
"Go-away? :. Where?"
"a long way, I'm afraid; at least,
perhaps you will think it long way,
though it's nothing nowadays
America"
"America-why?"
"America is not SO far away he
said, trying to speak -cheerfully. "It's
only five days now-no time at ALL"
"How long will you be gomez"
He shook his head.
If you loved ne you wouldn't CO."
DO you think l want to go?"
"Yes, | do," she said passionately.
"My God, Diana, you're impossible I"
He walked away from her to. the
window. He was wishing with all his
heart that he had not come, and yet
perhaps he had never loved her so well
as he did now, when she was i'll and
weak. Her brave attempt to look
pretty for his sake cried aloud to his
heart for pity.
He turned round.
Il must go, Diana"
She said nothing, she just lay there
looking at him with tragic eyes, and
| moved to sudden emotion he lifted her
up in his arms and kissed her pas
sionately.
Don't forget me, Diana"
There was no answering pressure III
her lips, those poor little reddcned
lips, and he said, stung to unjustifed
anger:
"You think only Of yourself. If you
had any thought for me you wouldn't
be SO hard"
I'm not hard" she whispered
His face grew sullen.
Goodbye, then" He walked or,i
of the room without another word or
glance, and Diana lay there, her face
as white as the pillow, straining tc
hea' the last sound Of him the
ver Ast sound of him.
Then suddenly she came to life. She
gave little strangled cry and tried
to get out of bed

BUILDING LIGHTING
A DECORATIVE NEED

Buildings can be lighted artificially
at night to give a charm and decora-
tive quality never possible under day
light conditions, according to Prof.
Stanley r. McCandless Of Yale Uni
versity in a report to the Connecticut
chapter of the American Institute of
Architects.
1t Is now recognized that light must
be considered in the design OF a build
ing as carefully as the structural ma
terials which give it external appear
ance. he declares.
1.-The location of light sources and the
type of distribution are part OF the
original design of a building, rather
than something that can be applied or
placed in an interior like furniture,
which can be moved about after the
building is completed. The most in
teresting aspect Of modern lighting is
the ability to control its distribution" !"
he states.
1T is essentially a plastic medium.
and as such should be co-ordinated
with the design of other plastic ele-
ments in the architectural form.
Broadly speaking, taking cue from
nature, combination of strong dlrec-
tional, localized lighting in conjunction
with low general illumination will give
satisfactory visibility. The directional
light will give high lights and shadows,
thus delineating form.

ing current need was held to be an es-
Sentlal part of any co-ordinated effort
