phrases, which did not concern Sonia. She lay, a lump of inanimate flesh in a hospital bed. But her spirit fluttered about vast, open spaces, unbound, released from that tortured body. She felt it dipping and soaring into the unknown, peering at Death, but never going quite far (enough. . . . One day Don’s voice came to her so clearly that she opened her eyes. “Hello there. . . ." Her eyes filled with tears. “Don, I'm sorry. . . .” "Now, no explanations!” “But I must tell you. . . .** “Not until you’re stronger. Everything Is fine.” She sighed. He must know eveverythlng.

When Don came that afternoon he seemed to understand it, too, for he made no attempt at evasions. “I want to talk with you, Don.” He closed the door and came back to her bed. But he did not sit down. His face was ghastly. “I suppose you can guess what It is?” “Yes.” "I was a willful, wicked fool. After I’d lied to save him I thought—what did it matter . . . ?” “It did not occur to you that I might love you enough to believe In you?” Shame dyed her pallid cheeks. “No. And I had denied myself for so long! It seemed I had to do It. I thought of ofher girls doing !it and getting by . . . Oh, I know all the arguments, but at the time my mind simply refused to function.” He said, between white lips, “Your marriage vows—your promises to. me meant nothing?” “Not after the story that came out in the papers. How could I expect you not to believ-e that?” “You’ve known me rather a long time. . . “Oh, Don,” she cried, "I told you there wasn’t any excuse. Just say that I was determined to go wrong."

Jed Thomas would not take me back, so I came here, living on your money.” “Seeing Crane?” “Yes. We spent the week-ends at his shack. I was restless and dissatisfied. It brought me no happiness. But the tie seemed too strong to break.” Then she added, “Don, you know everything?” “Yes. But the poison you took and the strenuous antidotes we were forced to use were too much for your condition.”

He turned away. He was fumbling with the cord of the window curtain, and when he faced her again his eyes were full of tears. “Did you think you were deceiving me, Sonia? I suspected It the moment I entered your room.” “You suspected that?” “I was afraid of it.” N Her green eyes were wide with surprise. “But you insisted on our staying married, on our living together!” “I saw by your face that you were on the verge of desperation. I thought if I could get you away you would see that I intended to stand by you and let you tell me the truth.” Her voice was the merest whisper. “And If I had?” “I would have protected you until the child was bom. After that He shrugged patient shoulders. “Well, whatever seemed best.” Both were silent for a moment, then he said: “Crane has disappeared. I may as tvell tell you I suspect him in connection with the drowning of Henderson." “So you knew that, too?” she cried, and told him how she had learned the truth. The moments flicked away. She knew their conversation was not finished. There had been none of the agonized scene she had dreaded. He seemed to know everything she had to tell him. But she swallowed over the lump of shame and embarrassment which sat like a weight in her throat, and said, “I

want to thank you. Not for saving my life. That is not so important, but for giving me back my selfrespect.” He patted her hands. I’m glad you say that, Sonia. The thing to do now is forget.” The smile on her pale lips was too old for any girl to wear. “I’ll never do that.” “You can forget the details of It,” he replied cheerfully. “Some day it too will seem like a dream.” Then she said, “We’ll get an annulment as soon as possible, Don.” ‘What do you intend to do?” “Go home for awhile. When I’m well enough I’ll come back and go to work again.” His reply was so low she could fiot be sure she hea.-d. 1 “Can’t \vhat?” “Can’t let you go to work. You see, we’ll still be married.” She looked at him with wonder and unutterable gratitude. “Do you think I would accept a sacrifice like that?" “No sacrifice. . . .” “Never.” she said, firmly, over the sobs breaking in her throat. As if the scene had become too much for him, he turned and fled from the room. (To Be Con !nued.)
