CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

PHIL. BRUCE dropped mi “and hed lunch with them and Evalyn lott no time in telling him what had happened. Phil was ablaze with anger. "How Adela could be Steve’ssister, I can’t Imagine. I still think they found her under a stone somewhere! Where is she? Il give that little devil a piece of my mind!” But Adela was not in the house and, according to the servants, had not been since early morning. Diana @id not know. whether this was a good or bad sign. After lunch Evalyn went upstairs to rest, and Phil followed Diana into the library. He came straight to the point. “There's one way out of all this, Diana,” he said. “Marry me--now —at once!” She turned in utter surprise. “But Phil—you're joking—or just trying to help me out, to be kind!”

“DO I LOOK LIKE a man Who's trying to be kind?” he demanded, end she saw the trembling of his hands, the excited intensity of his gaze, And suddenly he had her in his arms, holding her close to his heart. h# He kissed her passiontely, and she lay like a marble statue in his arms, unresisting yet unyielding. He shook his head, smiling ruefully. “It's no use, is it, Diana? 1 just don’t awaken even a spark do I?” Her hands were in his, pleading. “I'm sorry, please believe nfe, Phil. I wish I might love you, truly I do. But don’t you see’’—her voice sank to a soft whisper—"anything I have to give must be given to Stephen, or kept within myself forever!” “I see,” Phil said, and gripped her hands hard. r ® s AT THAT moment Adela, Richard Thorpe, and a strange, official. looking man walked into the room. Adela’s eyes, hawklike, swept from oné to the other. There was no denying her pleasure in what was going to be done. Thorpe had the

able, ‘The other man stepped forward. “Sorry t0 interrupt,” he said, “but are you Mrs. Stephen Curt?” “Yes,” Diana answered; waiting. “1 have here an urgency order committing you to an institution for mental disorders signed by a Dr. Emil Stutgart, who says that he attended you,” he said. “You may. of edburse, consult a lawyer and institute court proceedings to have the order set aside. Until that time, you wil be detained by law in a private institution.” Diana swallowed hard and her face went very white. «She heard Phil make an unintelligible sound of fury and strike'out at the man, but she held out a restraining hand. “Why—why do they think I am nsane?”
