There was the ominous pad of footateps running over the wit ®rr,ss In an ague of terror Marguerite waited as she saw that it
was Gaston.
"Safe.” ho said tlrcathmg heavily.
Rocking from side to side, Marguerite ei.uld only sob, "Thank God!
Oh, thank God!’’
"But the Baron was wounded," Gaston continued. "That means Armand must leave this country to avoid arrest. He's already on his
way."
"And my letter?” "I'm sorry but he sent it bark

without reading it.”
A twig crackled. That was all. Then, from outside, there was a small commotion. The door opened and de Varville stepped into the Pavilion, supported by his Doctor
and his coaenman.
He faced Marguerite and gave vent to a smothered oath. “You!
Here!”
“Yes.” They stared at each other. Strangers now, the bitterest of foes, standing at last In the very core of the Arachnean snare that destiny had so smoothly spun for them. "Leave us alone,” de Varville said to the others waving them outside A heavy cough shook her frame. He addressed her with it><;i«ivn deliberateness. "Armand Duval haa had his satisfaction this moraUu,. And I paid for it with this.” He touched his wounded shoulder. "But now I shall have mine. There’s no woman in Paris whose future Is no certain to be tilled with disaster and no one whose misfortunes I shall hoar of with greater pleasurr.” She looked put him and the pavilion seemed to grow larger, to expand into some invisible beyond. Disaster? Misfortune? Meaningle. s words to one who had lost all, sounds that echoed futilely down the corridors of the past Nothing could ever touch her again. A wraith, without substance, siio was inviolable from all injury at his
bands.
Tearing, hacking laughter ripped through her. "Don't try to hurt ire." she said, coughing through her ghastly smile, "you can't. The dying are safe, safe.”

When he had gone, she sank back again into her apathy of thought. There was m much to remember now and so little time for it ail. She pictured again the Champ*-

place.
Unbidden, tiny irrelevant incidents flashed bark to her. The clay she had received her first camellias from an admirer; the time she had gone to Bagncres for th- mineral
waters and there met and talked with the gargantuan Honorc de Balzac, the early morning w a 1 k g e h o had taken through the country woods as a child, with -i the v i o lo t s SjJ sweet in her ™ nostrils; Arma.ad'a stumbling words to her as he had stepped on her gown « that fatoiul

“Mademoiselle" Nanina said in ao odd voice from the
doorway.
"What is it, Nanine?” "We re having some visitors today", a catch in her voice, "be calm, please bo calm — ” Slowly, Mar gueritt sat up and ' •' r’ +S her eyes were ^ n o r mous. "He’s here!* she said wond e r i n g 1 y, “Armand’s here! It that what you're trying to tell me?” "Yes, Mademoiselle.” She slipped from the bed, drawing on her last reserves of strength. "Wait! Help me to a chair- bring me my mirror! Bring some rouge, quick.'' “Stay quietly in bed,” Nanine im-
plored.
"No, no! Do as I say! Take me
to my dressing table. Dr

In a feverish whirl she flew about the room, then, at last, quivering like a leaf, she sank into her chair. The roaring of breaking surf was in her ears us Armand stepped across the threshold.

"Oh, my God! Forgive me! Forgive me!” ho sobbed and was on his knees beside her, hie head in
his arms across her lap.
She held him close and her voice was just a husky thread. "Ar-
mand! It is you, isn’t it? really is you! n
bo so good.”
He lifted up his head and drew her frail, shattered form to his breast. "I’ve been a madman! 1’vo had no peace! I love you co much.
Forgive me.”
"Forgive you?” she asked softly.
"For what?"
"For believing your words instead of your heart For being stubborn and cowardly. For thinking I could ever stop loving you.” Forgive me for not being pretty any more, came her silent, aching reply. How she would have liked to have been beautiful for him today.
Mate . . , sate:
Autumn chilled into Winter and o/io by one, the leaves of the calendar fluttered away. The snows came nnd went and Spring was again reborn, bringing with it, its promise of new, green life. Life and death, how close they really are, Marguerite thought one afternoon as sh. lay hack against her pillows, watching the vitalizing sunlight stream In golden bands
through her window.
Her thin, transparent fingers plucked listlessly at her covers. Ill, penniless and alone, she was row. This great house, once filled with her treasures, was almost stripped bare. Downstairs, In the calon, she knew there wore bailiffs waiting to remove the last vestiges
of her former splendor.
And all these weeks, no message from Armand. Not a word, not a F ; gn, though it ceemed that the very force of her will must have brought
him running to her side.
The end might come at any time, she had heard the doctor predict, when they thought she was sleeping. Perhaps not for weeks or months even, he had added cautiously, hut one must be prepared for anything when there was such a strain on the heart. Strain? Her pale lips twitched. In the metaphysical' sense, her heart was gone, shattered to bits. Only Its shell', that organ which so madly pumped
her breath away, was left
She opened her eyes to see Gaston tintoeing Into the room. Gaston, who had always worn his cynicism like an accolade, had at last dropped the mask at her death’s door. Night after night, he had sat beside her bed, reading, end watch-
ing, while she slept fitfully.
He looked at her, veiling the pity In hLs eyes. Armand was back In Paris after his travels in China and
jr,
beautiful, and young and good. “You’re the woman I love,” Armand told her passionately, "the woman 1,11 always love, the woman
I can't do without.”
What happiness! What hapnlness! she thought through quiet tears. The beautiful roadc< were always the shortest. Her life had been a search for love. And now it had come, in full measure, to comfort and warm her at the end. Her eyes began to close. Now she realized that all which God does is well done and she was reconciled
to his will.
Frantically, Armand clasped h t
close. "I'll take care of you! I'll make you well! Til take you to
far-away, beautiful places.” Painfully, she brought herself tn
her feet. “Take me to Bougcval where wo were happy, ail ono summer," she said faintly. Thoro was a rose-colored haze before her

Nanine. Nanine!’ 1 suffused with an unearthly glory, “my furs, my hat. Monsieur Duvai
is taking — ”
Then slowly, like some nlpestrlnn flower, too long expo a-d to harsh winds, she sank to the floor. "Don’t ever leave tn» Armand, don’t ever — leave me — " Her eyelids fluttered for an Int-tan'. liao white moths, then closed and wr-rp
still forever.
The Lady of the Camellias was gone to the peace she had never
known In life.
"Marguerite, Marguerite'" Armand cried In an agony of despair, “come back, I need you!” Devoutly. Nanine crossed herself and spoke In the tranquil tones of resigned grief. "She’s gone, gone and may God have mercy op her
soul.”
