"Both my aunt and I are feeling tired and in need of rest. We yearn for the luxury of I long sleep." "It has been a great pleasure," Smith said. "May I dare to hope . . ?" "When you come to England, if you ever should," said Miss De- borah, taking it upon herself to answer. "we should both be glad to know. We might be able to show you something of English country life, at Brookridge." "Yes, do not forget to write," Marcia supplemented. "We are returning next Monday. I want to see the Grand Prix; and then my aunts patience will be ex- hausted." "I may see you there." Smith said. "But I shall certainly write; and I shall not delay my start for England long now.", He bent over Miss Deborah's hand and then over )lai'cia's, and carelessly offered his left hand to Basil; a proffer which that young man studiously ignored. They re- turned to their hotel in silence, and Marcia hurried to her room. She wanted to be alone, and think over what had happened. The incredible event. in her life had been her breach with Peter Merchant, followed so swiftly by the report of his mysterious and discreditible end. She had always found that incident so far beyond belief that she had given up puz- cling over it; for her doubts, while she entertained them, had reduced her to a nervous wreck. But now she marshalled facts, as she knew them, once more. Peter Marchant was not a lover who had come unknown into her life, and assumed a sudden importance in it. They had been children together, and she knew Peter as she might have known her brother. if she had ever had one. She had loved Peter Mar- chant for qualities in the boy and man which she had proved; and now realised that no other love could take the place of that which she had lost. Nothing had ever come between them, except Miarcials wealth and Peter's pride. Marcia had calcul- ated upon love mastering pride, when she had travelled in haste to New York and laid her alterna- tive before Marchant. Her cal- culations may have been incor- rect; but it was still impossible for her to think that her action had driven Peter to behave as he was supposed to have done. Besides, Marcia had watched the passengers landing at Cherbourg from the "Berliiiin," and she was sure that Mai-chant had not been among those who had left the boat. She was still more sure that he had not left the boat at South- ampton. When she really thought about it in detail, she was always confronted with the conclusion that Peter had never sailed on the "8erlini'a" at all. In her heart of hearts' that is what Marcia really believed. A man had occupied the cabin which she had reserved for Marcahnt; and she supposed he must have done so with Peter Merchants connivance. She was always ex- pecting to receive a letter from America with the news that Peter had established himself there suc- ceesfully. Sometimes she dreaded luch a letter; but there were times when she longed for it. And now,- after the passage of six months. she faced the impossi- bility of forgetting. The chance encounter with a stranger who sang to her during a dance- which might be a common enough trick, for all she knew-had re- vived all the painful associations which she had tried to drive out of her mind.

"see if you can get a full- length picture for me ln the morn- ins and bring it to the hotel." "Nothing easier," Basil promised. "They are all over the shop." And, in the morning, he arrived in good time with the promised photograph. Marcia uttered a cry of dismay as soon as she set eyes upon it.

H4). . , 5 THE TWO MAIN CAUSES OF ASTHMA 1 have written before of how as medical students we were instruct- ed to allow a patient with asthma to handle himself as to sitting at an open window. grasping some ob- ject and often coughing up a plug of mucus An asthmatic did not usually die dining an attack so there was nothing to worry about. Later, physicians learned that asthmatic attacks were brought on by allergy. the inhaling of dust. pollens, fumes. dander of animals, use of some foods and also some drugs. In these cases is was found that a hypodermic injection of 5 to 15 drops of adrenalin would stop the attack. However. as so many individuals suffer with asthma and many cases were found to be not really due to allergy. other causes were sought and today, while all is not known about the causes of asthma. most cases follow one of two patterns: those caused by outside substances and those due to conditions inside the body. In the Canadian Medical Associa- tion Journal, Dr. Peter G. Edgell. Montreal General Hospital. states that while the outside substances can usually be found. the causes inside the body may be difficult to determine. "Investigation is dir- ected to bacterial allergens, meta- bolic conditions (building up and tearing down processes of the body). gland disiurbaiicas. nervous and emotional distiirbaiices." Sometimes both inside and out- side causes are present so that the condition of the patient-physically and emotionally-may affect the attack itself and the treatment. such as accompany fatigue, consti- pation. the monthly periods in women. or easily produced emotion- aal disturbances.
