James Hilton's strange and gripping tale of a paranoiac has been made into a motion picture, with Robert Montgomery, Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders in the leading roles

RAGE IN HEAVEN

'SYNOPSIS:

Dr Rameau has called the British Consul to his private insane asylum outside of Paris in help identify a mysterious English paranoiac, who calls himself Ward Andrews. But while they consult, the patient, meets unseen, escapes. In London, a few days later, Philip Monrell his brilliant friend Ward Andrews at a bar. Annused, Philip thinki of how he had used Ward's name in Paris, because it gave him a sense of importance. He and Ward go to his home in the country and there Stella Bergen, a beautiful refugee who is nou companion to meet Philip's mother. Stella is drawn to Ward but turns to Philip when Mrs Monrell must go away for her health and calls on Stella's gratitude to look after her son. Philip and Stella marry. They are happy, but out of sheer perversity ite neglects his work as head of the steel mill at Chassingford. His behaviour is extremely erratic and to-day, at the mill, in order to build up his own importance, he has rejected the budget to fix up his workingmen's homes,

THAT EVEN ̧IN-G, Stella had mournful news. Her kitten had been found lying in Platt's lane, just behind the steel works. Its neck had been broken.

Unaccountably, Philip be- came furious when Stella mentioned it to him.

But a while later he came to her, penitent.-"I'll make it up to you," he said tenderly. "I'm sorry the kitten is gone, I'll buy you a hundred of them."

Her eyes were And. "I don't think I'll ever have an- other. This one meant so much to me."

He was watching her. "Be- cause Ward gave it to you ?" She jumped up. "Ward. Ward. Ward, Always Ward! If you can't rid yourself of that idea you'll—''

"I'll go mad," he returned evenly. "Is that what you wanted to say?"

She turned to him serious- ly. "Philip, I'll tell you some- thing.

I first met When Ward, I thought he was charming and perhaps he was interested in me, I don't know. But I married, you didn't it?" He smiled peculiarly. "So he was interested in you. Of course, I knew it all the time."

THAT NIGHT he sent a

telegram to Ward. For the next day he went around hugging the secret to his heart. Ward was coming. for a visit. Imagine how surprised.. Stella would be.. faint-betray Maybe she'd herself in some way like that.

Instead, her eyes simply 'widened when Philip led Ward in that evening. He had gone to the station him- self to meet him with the car.

At dinner, Philip was all gaiety. He insisted on toast to Ward and then went into an earnest account of how happy he and Stella were. Ward was really delighted for them. Once, Philip left the room to fetch a bottle of wine from the cellar. When he re- turned he listened at the door for a moment. Perhaps they. were saying something Inter- esting, something about their own feelings.; He was'n'littie: disappointed, though Ward

was simply commenting on how marvellous Philip looked. "I noticed it the moment I him. Ile's positively gleck with happiness."

Now Philip came back and the gniety was resumed, Then, after the second bottle of wine, Philip stated his pro- position. He wanted Ward to come and work at the fac- tory. Mr Black, his chief engineer, had left and he was. offering Ward the position at twice the salary he was get- ting in Scotland.

dazed. "I-I hardly know what to say. It's a far better chance than I deserve--"

Philip grasped his hand. "Then you accept? That's wonderful." He raised his glass aloft. "May we all still be together ten years from now just na we are to-night. Stella? Ward? To US three."

IT WAS LATE THAT NIGHT

und the moon was shining. Philip wrote in his diary, "To- day Ward come. Now we shall see what will happen. Nothing-- I hope. But there must be more of these torturing doubts. I've got to know."

He rose and tiptoed into her room. For a long moment, he stood over her. She was sound asleep, her breast rising and falling with the regularity of her breathing, He nodded and said, painfully, "Now you're dreaming of him. 1 can see it in your face."

Two mornings later he on- nounced a surprise. He had to leave on a business trip, He wouldn't be gone more than a week at the most and would mast certainly wire when he was com- ing back.

}

WARD LEFT THE STEEL W WORKS early, that day and stopped in to have a chat with Stella The moment he began to speak, she stiffened. It was about Mr Black. He had heard why Black had left. What was the matter with Philip? Why did he become as obstinate as child sometimes? It was unexplain-

able.

"Stop It Word, I won't discuss Philip behind his backt,"

Ward was amazed. "But Stella, I'm asking you to help me. You're the only ono who has any; influ- cace over him." She stood there,. facing him angelty, and finally, ho turned to the door. "Well then--- there's nothing,móro for me to say, Goodnight." Hannah Notep

At noon the next day, she drove the car down to the steel works and when Ward came into his of- ce she said shyly, "I had to see you. I want to apologise for the way I behaved yesterday." He tried to interrupt and she went on. "I couldn't sleep all night, think- ing of the trouble here at the Works. Yes, I know that Philip has caused trouble and it's about the housing scheme, isn't it?"

Ward nodded, "Philip's hand- Hng the men the wrong way,”

The men, however, weren't going to stand for it. They had niways trusted their bosses to give them a square deal. They had worshipped Philip's father. Now Philly had come along and they didn't under- stand him at all.

"And Stella," Ward concluded, "you've got to talk to him. You must."

She looked away. "All right, I can try. But Ward, I don't think he'll yield an inch." Her eyes fill- ed with tears ond she twisted her Angers together,

All at once, Ward let out an ejaculation. "Stella, what a fool I've been, Forgive me. I didn't realise that this is the first time you and Philip have been separat- cd. You're lonely for him."

BY the time the coffee and liqueurs arrived that even- ing, they had thoroughly discussed the English cricket situation and Ward was teasing Stella with a highly technical discussion of his new type of annular bearing. He went through the molecular dis- integration and the collbration and finally she cried out in laughter.

"Stop! Stop! It's fascinating but I don't understand d word."

She looked up and suddenly she paled.

Ward followed her gaze. "Hello, Philips Are you back already?"

Philip was well pleased with Himself. He had certainly taken. Stelia by surprise. "Obviously."

IIe sat down and sald lightly, "Sorry I didn't wire. I Anished.in London much sooner than I ex- peeled." He turned to Ward. "Thank you for taking Stelia out."

"You don't have to thank me," Ward smiled. "Thank Stella for coming. You know, Philip, we were talking about you to-day-'

Philip seemed amused. "What a depressing subject. Couldn't you think of anything more romantic?" "Look here Phillp," Ward sald, "It's about the housing project. I know it's hard for a man in your position to reverse a decision. It takes courage, but believe me, if you do, the men will respect you for it. We all sholl."

Philip's voice was thin. "Well, us It happens, I don't want respect. I want obedience! Do you under- stand?" He smiled. "I think per- haps we'd better drop this discus- slon. I might get angry."

Stella put her hand on Ward's arm. "Ward. Let's go."

Philip waited until they were at the door. Then he went to the clerk on the desk., "Put Mr An- drow's dinner on my bill please. How much do Lowe you?"

"Leaving us already, Mr Mon- rell?" the clerk asked. He opened his ledger.

Philip fidgeted. He didn't want anyone to overhear the tranane- tion, Stella and Word must not have the slightest clue that he bod been right here at the Inn to-night and not gone to London at all. "It had been a fine plan, and it had worked.

So Stella and Ward were now brazen enough to go out publicly. on a merrymaking spree together. Well, he'd wait and watch för fur- ther developments."

But with sensitive children there are dangers that have to be

WHEN a chlid is highly-strung

and sensitive, it depends in many ways on you whether he'll develop into a fine human being or not.

You see, a highly-strung chlid has got all the qualities that ore necessary to put him far and away ahead of other children. alert, quick on the up-take, kern in his reactions.

But it is in this very mental and physical make-up of the child that the danger les. He lives more in- tensely, reacts more vividly to every little thing in his surround- ings. That's why the bringing up of such childrer needs for more Insight on the part of the parents than the bringing-up of ordinary children,

Many such brilliant children have falled in life. They've grown up weak, caslly-led and over-sensitive, simply because. their parents did not understand certain health warnings in child- hood.

When you notice that your child is of his food, or that he looks pale, puffy under the eyes, that he's rather nervous and irritable or gets tired too easily, then you should act quickly,

All these are warning algna that the child is using up his nervous energy more quickly than he's replacing 1. And it is at night, during sleep, that these slores of nervous energy. should

If you give your child Horlicks every night at bedtime, his tired- "nerviness" ness, paleness and will disappear. Horlicks, by guarding against Night Starvation, replaces nervous energy during sleep, strengthens nerves, and builds appetite. Your child will grow up strong and healthy, able to make the most of his special qualities.

Start your child on Horlicks to- night. Horlicka is obtainable at all good stores.
