CHAPTER LI Don was reading. As Sonia opened the door he looked up, surprised. “I supposed you were asleep, Sonia. Is anything the matter?” She climbed into a large upholstered chair, drawing her feet under her. .. -I wanted to talk to you, she announced cheerfully. "I don’t think there, is anything to he gained by a discussion tonight.” “Why not? I loathe putting things off.” "So I have observed,” he remarked, drily. Sonia could not keep the corners of her mouth from curving into a. smile. “I’m glad it amuses you. Perhaps I can see the liumor some time, but I must confess isn’t very funny to me just now.” She became instantly sober. You’re not amused. Far from it. T couldn’t go to sleep until I had told you I’ll do my best not to Whine again.” Don frowned. “That won’t keep you from being unhappy. I shall be worried all the time for fear you are concealing your misery. It’s no use. I must have been bewitched to let you in for this.” “It was my idea, you know. And I still think it the wisest thing...” “But you're eating your heart out for Franklin Crane. And before long you'll be hating me as you never dreamed you could hate. Not a pleasant prospect, Sonia.” She was ashamed to think that in those few hours of loneliness and shock she should have conceived a plan so preposterous. Foor Don! He looked so tired and old, much older than he seemed at breakfast In her room that morning.... “Well, I don’t know what I can do.” she said, sadly. “Even if you Intend to hold me to my contract I'd like to he friends.” She looked

at him beseechingly. “Please don’t be cold and formal with me, Don. No matter how much I deserve it. He groaned, “I can see your side of it since this afternoon. I know now what you're going to have to go through. Always meeting some one who reminds you of Crane — some trick of the eyes, the shape of his head, or the sound of his laugh... ” The thought of his laughter made her tremble. "Yoh see about how much chance I have of making you happy. Probably the first tiling you’ll do will be to run away.” She stared at him, fascinated. “I hope I’m not that yellow." He asked, sorrowfully, “You want me to release you, Sonia?" "O, no” she answered bravely. “1 don’t’ cai-e so much. I’ll play the game.” But she was white to the lips. Her green eyes were swimming in tears. Don took her by the shoulders. “You said you wouldn’t lie to me. Do you really want to go on with this wretched farce?” “Bywant to keep my word.” “Then say nothing more about it. Get your clothes ready. We will sail next week.” • * Sonia rose and started for her room. He was right. There was no use discussing it. She must put Franklin as far behind her as she could. Never look again into the dangerous sweetness of his eyes, never lose herself in the sweeping oblivion of his kiss. Suddenly she swayed. The walls of the room closed about her. She crumpled upon the floor. When she opened her eyes she was in her own bed. Don was bending over her. His face was anxious and strained. “Are you better, Sonia?” “Yes, only I feel so queer and heavy, as if I’d sink through the bed.” He sat besldeher and stroked her hand. “Forgive me if I’ve seemed unkind. I hadn’t intended to be.” She closed her eyes. "I want to do whatever is best for you, honey. And I’m not going to fling you back into Crane’s arms if he isn’t going to marry you.” “Well, he isn’t,” she sighed. Two slow tears forced themselves

down her cheeks. She brushed them away. “1 don't want to care about him. He isn’t half the man you are. But it doesn't seem to matter whether lie is or not. I simply can’t bear to know I have to walk off and leave him to marry another girl.” "What could you do by staying?” “He has said many times he won’t marry her. I don’t believe he will so long as I'm free." “But you’re not free, Sonia.” Her eyes closed again. After a time he said, sadly. “My dear. I’m going to Berlin alone. I can’t see my way of taking you even if you are willing to go." She looked up. joy streaming over her features. “You don't want me to go?” “No. It would be torture for both of us.” “you're right.” she babbled. “It was all a mistake, wasn’t it? You're wonderful, Don, to let me out of it . . .” “Just a moment,” he Interrupted. “I’m not going to take you with me. but I am not releasing you from your contract.” Her face darkened. "What do you mean?” I shall leave you here on only one condition. That Is. you must leave San Francisco at once and go home.” “Oh, I can't go back to Stockton.” “You have no choice,” he said Armly. “Otherwise I shall have to keep to our original plan. The temptations and complications which you admitted to me on Monday are no less real today. I promised to save you from them. I do not wish to force you- to remain with me. But
