There was a sickening swerve and the car tottered on two wheels lor a breath before it roared down the shoulder and into the ditch, to end with a sickening, jolting crash and smashing of glass. Mona Lee sat stunned for a min- ute, her stomach hurting, her neck twisted, the broken steering wheel still in her hands. Her hat was off and her lap was full of glass, and there was blood running into her eye, and her knees burned and stung. Slowly she got back her breath, opened her taut fingers, looked around, though merely mov- ing her head made her giddy. The door on the other side was open and hanging at a crazy angle, and o! Gary Tallman only his boot- ed feet were visible, sticking up inside the car. « * • Mona Lee tried to open the door beside her, but it was sprung and would not move, so she climbed over the boy's legs and tried to straighten his body, flung across the running board, his head on the ground. His face was greenish gray and the skin had been scraped off his forehead, but he was breathing thinly through his mouth. She re- membered about spines and that you shouldn't lift an injured per son. so she dragged some dry grass under his head and staggered back to sit down on the culvert till her head cleared a little. Her ears were ringing so that she did not hear the truck coming till the brakes squealed riglit at her ears, and a man jumped down be- side her. "Good gosh, Mrs. Mason'." It was Slim. Mona Lee began to cry and scold hysterically. "It was that red hog â€" Harvey told you to fix that fence. Don't you lilt that boy â€" you might break his back. You go get some- thing to carry him on." "Your face is cut." Slim was dab- bing at a smarting place with his dubious handkercliiei. "Sure lucky you ain't killed.*â€" the way that car's busted up. Easy, now hang on to me. I'll get you home and fetch some help to take care ot him." "He's breathing yet â€" but you'd better hurry." She did not faint, thank goodness. "Don't send him to any hospital â€" you bring him here," she or- dered, when Slim helped her into the house. • « • .\nd then, when people were run- ning around frantically and tele- phoning and exclaiming, she sat on a straight chair and wondered what had happened to her hat- The bed was smooth and cool, and the wiudows of the room looked out on wide pastures and a little ravine where mesquite trees were beginning to turn a gay, pale green under the spring sun. When his sidf had stopped its dull aching and his head had clear- ed up and the nurse stopped shoot- ing s.uff into his arm every time he iroaned. Gary Tallman became aware that it was spring and that there was a tawny-haired girl who came into his room now and then. Her name, so he had garnered out of the muddle of his percep- tions, was .Adelaide. Other people came and went Mrs. Mason, with a patch of plas- ter on her forehead and a worried look on her kind face. She felt re- sponsible for his broken ribs and collarbone and the crack on the head he'd got when the car hit the pig, and she urged him over and over not to worry; he'd be taken care of and just as soon as he was .strong enough they'd see that he got down to his job in Mexico. • • « And now and then Mr. Mason came in. Gary was very apologetic when the big sandy man towered over the bed. But Harvey Mason didn't soem to resent his presence. This room he lay in belonged to Harvey .Tunior, so he had learned. Adelaide Mason had a husky voice and slow gray eyes. Lying in the dark, with the spring breeze stirring the curtains, Gary could still see her eyes. Little dark blue rings around the irises, and her lashes had gold on the ends and made shadows on her cheeks. There was a peppery line of freckles across her nose, and her lips were lovely. She had nice clean bright hair. The older Mason daughter, Grace, came on Sunday. She was different. Her hair was black and her eyes were cold and indifferent. She wore too much lipstick and she had a husband who looked like a collar ad. His name was Oliver, he was in solid with a big petroleum conc:ern. Oliver asked him about football and about Mexico. and said he thought chances were darned slim down there and anyway cheap Mexican crude was playing the dickens with the oil business. * * * He decided that he didn't like Oliver, and his opinion did not change even when he saw Oliver in old fishing clothes. But Adelaide was different, and Mrs. ^^asoawas swell. She brought up trays herself and fed him cus- tard with a spoon, when they wouldn't let him use his arm or lift his head. The hand was pt rple and felt like wood, lying on the cool counterpane. Mrs. Mason told him about her little boy. Phil, who had died when he was six. "He would have been just your age now. He'd have looked like you, I think. He was a year older than Harvey Tunior â€" and three years older than .\delaide." So .\delaide was twenty-one. Mrs. Mason told him that she had had four children in six years. "They were all little at once â€" and then they all grew up at once â€" and now I'm left with nobody to mother." So she mothered calves and ranch hands and Gary Tail- man. ( To Be Continued) Magic! Wliat can be made from a man's worn out shirt? Six handkerchiefs arc one thing, two from the front, four from the back. Out of it can instead appear a dress for the one to three year old. The dress front comes from the back of the shirt while the dress back is cut from the front of the shirt, putting the seam down the dress back. Sleeves and a little collar are cut from the shirt sleeves. With the addition of some gay embroidery or coloured ric-rac braid a pretty little dress emerges. HAPPY? YOU BET! Here's the way it is when food comes at last to famished countries of Europe. The children in this picture are being given soup with meat in it in a creche in France. Particularly is Europe short of meat. Belgium has lost two-thirds of her cattle; Greece all her wttl«; thest are typical examples. SAIADA CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P Clarke Partiier is liome again! Three weeks since he went away so I need iiardly tell you how glad we are to have him back with us once more. I am sure many of you have been through a similar experience and know exactly what I mean. You know what it means to live a divided life as it were â€" with your thoughts in one place and your work in another, getting done such jobs as you can between trips to the hospital, nad after each trip sometimes coming away hopeful and other times downhearted. Yes, Partner is home all right but it certainly seems strange when milking time comes around to have him staying in the house instead of going to the barn. He never thought that was possible before. However, he is able to be up and around most of the day and abso- lutely refuses to let us make an in- valid of him. But like all convales- cents he thinks he can do far more than his strength will really let him. The quickest way to settle an argument is to let him find out for himself, « « « He has plenty to tell us that is quite interesting regarding his ex- periences in the hospital â€" praise for m;iny of the doctors and nurses, impatience for some of the students and ai>solnte scorn for the various patients who spent most of their waking hours in voicing complaints about things in and around the hos- pital â€" the doctors, nurses, food, treatment, in fact just about every- thing. There was hardly anything t^at suited them. Mind you, the attention they are given is by no means one hundred percent but can it be expected under present conditions? Shortage of help is very evident for those who will see it. * » « There have been quite a few let- ters in the press lately as to wheth- er or not flowers should be taken to hospital patients. Xaturally there are some in favour and some against. There isn't a doubt in the world that flowers for the sick are a kind and thoughtful gesture and in the past I doubt if anyone would speak against the practise, particu- larly for private room patients. To- day there are few private patients. People who are really sick cannot afford to wait until a private room is avai'able. so there are more ward patients than ever before. And, from what I was able to see in To- ronto, there is absolutely no room in a public ward for flowers for anyone. One small table beside each patient's bed must do for everything- Time after time flow- ers :n'.ist be moved so that space may be given for other things. So, no matter how much you may be tempted to take flowers to your friends in a city hospital, think again â€" and don't. Fruit or easily digestible food is far more accept- able â€" depending of course upon the patient's needs. * « * -And by the way, if by any chance any of you people are getting fed up with the weather I suggest that you po to hospital to forget about it. All the time Partner was away we were telling him how wet it was evcr\ wliere and how the rain held up tlie work and so on and so forth but it wasn't until he was actually home that Partner realised what awfully wet rain we had been hav- ing, i; you know what I mean â€" and I think you do. He said one day was much like another in hos- pital â€" that a dull day was hardly noticahle at all. So there you are folk-i, if the weather doesn't suit you I've told you how to get away from it. But don't forget to take your cheque book with â€" it is rather an expensive form of escap- ism. * * * Well, tile time is getting on and my boys will be soon in to break- fast. Yes, breakfast, that is what I said, for the time is ".Ij a.m. and I am making some attempt to get this job dene before my brain gets addled with the problems of the day. Believe me, there is no time like the early morning if one really wants to get a job done. Frame For Ruga A discarded card table makes an excellent frame for hooking rugs.
