It was built of gray stone and must once have been a fortress of considerable strength, but windows had later been set in Its massive walls and chimney-stack- s had been added to make it a residence. Herrick, I think, was more excited than I, for, now that he saw the castle as he had seen and known it when he was twelve years old, he began at once to remember the plan of the house: since this was all to the good, I let him be and myself began to survey the heights which we hoped to use. Almost at once I remarked that on one of these, three firs were n standing together to thrust a steeple into the sky: this, I was sure, could be seen from the farther side and so would make us a landmark for future use. The next thing I saw was a path which slanted up from the meadows into the woods, and when I had taken my glasses, I found that it led to an elegant belvedere, or open summer house. This looked unfrequented, and but for my glasses I could not have picked it out, for the trees which had been cut back had put forth new boughs. Because of the veil of foliage, nobody standing gray-gree- It was nearly six o'clock, and I had been gone from Herrick a full r when the track beside which I was moving came to an end. This to my dismay, for now I had nothing to go on, although, of course, the track might have led me half-hou- wrong. In vain I sought for a broken stem of bracken which might declare the trail which my friends had left: in vain I scanned the forest and strained my ears: but for the birds and the squirrels, I might have had the world to myself. Flat against the trunk of an oak tree, I wiped the sweat from my face. Five paces ahead a ride had been cut through the woods: though this was thick with bracken, it gave me a pretty clear view to right and to left, but the flood stretched smooth and unbroken and I could see no sign of Sts having been crossed. Loth to admit defeat, I tried to think what to do. To proceed was easy enough, but, for all I knew, with every step that I took I might be going away from the party I sought. Vet to stay where I was was useless. If only there had been a hillock to add a few feet to my height, I could have looked down upon the bracken and that point of view might have shown me the traces the others had left. But there was no hillock: the ground here- - within was speaking Percy Virgil, who seemed to ery angry and was pointing the we ft. -lt R r my lead. wed began to move back-1- s slowly enough. i w the drive was not wide gh to allow any car to turn t d, but a track ran out of the some six or seven paces from e we lay.

Across the ride two definite trails had been left or, rather, one and a half. The first, which stretched right across, was 30 paces away, to the left of the oak; and the second, which stretched but halfway, as far to the left again. At the end of this second trail, full in the midst of the ride, the woman was sitting alone, with her back towards me. To say that I felt bewildered means nothing at all. What on earth she was doing there, I could not conceive, and at last I made up my mind that she must be hiding from Virgil with whom she had had some fuss. Of him or the other two men, I could see no sign. Now but for the sight of the woman, I should have at once descended and taken the other trail, but whilst I was still considering whether to follow this course, the woman got to her feet and stood perfectly still. When I saw her do this, it came to me in a flash, that, unless the woman was mad, she must be acting in concert with somebody else. And so she was. Before two minutes had passed, the chauffeur appeared. He made his way straight to her side, when the woman handed him something and then hurried out of the ride and so out of my view. Preparing to descend, I had turned about and was standing upon the branch with my hands on the trunk, when the scream of a dog in agony rent the ear. again, I saw the chauffeur standing where I had seen him last, holding the dog at arms length by the scruff of its neck and flogging the luckless creature with all his might I was just about to cry out when I heard a galloping horse coming down from the right, that is to say, from the circus from which the four rides ran out Because of the leaves before me, I could not see it go by, but an instant later a bay flashed into my view. On his back was a girl, and the two were going full tilt down the midst of the ride, and making straight for the chauffeur still thrashing the dog. So for a second or less. Then the bay turned head over heels and the girl went flying beyond him, as though shot out of a gun. I never saw such a fall In all my life, but before I had time to think, much less to descend, a man and a woman were rushing to where the girl lay. They were, of course, the two that came out of the car and they must have been standing directly in line with the bay when he came to the ground. And the chauffeur, too, was running as fast as he could. The bay was up now and was moving off through the bracken with heaving flanks, but the girl lay crumpled up and perfectly still. To my surprise, instead of attending to her, the man and the woman between them lifted her up and began to stumble with her towards my oak. They passed directly beneath me, seeming to think of nothing but getting their burden along. Had this been the carcase of a dog, they could scarce have used it with less propriety. The girl was dead or senseless 1 could not tell which: but, instead of supporting her head, they let this hang, and one of her legs was suffered to trail on the ground. This was too much for me, and at once I began to go down; but, for all my indignation, I could not make haste, because, as I had feared, the descent was twice as stiff as the climb I had made. Half-turnin- g someone had come. sure I dropped like a C Houston Goudiss Discusses Vitamins And Vision; Explains How and Why You Should Feed Your Eyes Cautiously Raising Our Heads, We Saw the Procession Set Out. there could ever be seen from be-- 1 abouts was sloping, but nothing low, yet he could see as much as more. he wished by peering between the Suddenly I thought of the oak leaves.

To understand this astonishing fact, it is necessary to know that vision under faint illumination is accomplished by means of chemical changes in the pigment at the back of the eye. This is known as the "visual purple of the retina and one of its important components is carotene, which is the active form of vitamin A. The visual purple might be compared to the film in a camera. When you are in a dim light and the eyes are suddenly exposed to bright light, the visual purple is greatly reduced or bleached. This change results in a stimulation of the optic nerve and enables you to see clearly. When an adequate supply of vitamin A is present in the body, the visual purple is rapidly regenerated. But when the supply is inadequate, a much longer period elapses before tne corrective chemical change takes place. During the intervening time, many people find it difficult to see. That is the condition known as "night blindness." And it accounts for the fact that a large proportion of serious motor accidents occur at night. Victims of this deficiency disease are first blinded by approaching headlights, then cannot quickly readjust themselves after the oncoming car has passed. Their ability to drive safely is subsequently impaired for they cannot clearly see the road ahead, and they may miss dangerous curves, pedestrians or other vehicles. A Common Complaint Unfortunately, the prevalence of night blindness is not generally recognized, though it is held that urban dwellers are more conscious of it than those living in the rural areas. This Is borne out by the fact that ocular disorders from vitamin deficiency are less common in urban than in rural areas.
