“When 1 get well I’ll start all
over again and show you how nice
I can be,” she told him. “You’ve
been so good to me—far better
than I ever deserved. I’ll pay you
back some day, Giles.”
“Get well and strong, and 1
shall want nothing else,” he told
her.
The reports ol' the specialists
were encouraging. They had ev-
ery hope, they said—it might be
a long time naturally, but Mrs.
Chittenham was such an excellent
patient. . . .”
Giles winced and turned away.
One Saturday he and Him went
down into Gloucester to follow up
• due which they hoped might
lead to news of Julie. Chittenham
had told Sadie he was going away
on businesa.
She turned impatiently away
when he would have kissed her.
“You treat me like a child. No-
body W’ould think I am your wife.”
Chittenham frowned.
“Don’t be unreasonable, Sadie.
I cannot spend all my time with
you.”
Her drawn face flushed.
“You would want to, if you
loved me,” she .accused him.
“If you would rather I did not
go—” he began hopelessly; but
she broke in offendedly."
“Oh, go! go! They all say you
behave like an angel. They all
think that I am a beast to you. Oh,
I know they don’t say so, but I
know what they think." Then as
she felt him move to'leave her she I
caught at his arm with her thin,'
nervous hands. “I’m sorry, Giles. I
I didn’t mean it. 1 do try to be [
reasonable, but if you were in my;
place—” Her voice broke, and she
controlled it with an effort.
“I’ll do anything in the world j
to make you happy, Sadie,” Giles
said, but in his heart he despised
himself for a coward and a traitor
to the woman he loved. He could

do nothing for oadie if it was only
his love she wanted; that was al-
ready in the keeping of Julie, who
had gone out of his life perhaps
for ever. He kissed Sadie hurried-
ly, anxious to be gone, but she
i lung to him.
“Kiss my lips—kiss my lips—”
"Sadie!”
He held back from her for a
moment, then gave way. He kissed
her lips kindly enough, but with
no warmth or passion, and she
pushed him from her petulantly.
__ “Go away. You don’t love me.
You hate being with me.”
And a storm of tears came, and
bitter sobbing.
Chittenham went out to Bim,
who was waiting for him, his face
set and white, and his eyes miser-
able.
"I can’t stand this much longer,’
he told her as they drove away.
“It's an impossible situation. God
only knows what the end w ill be."
But the whole world knew the end
when, on Monday morning, after
a hopeless search along a chain of
false clues which led them no-
where, Mini and Chittenham re-
turned to town.
There was an urgent telephone
call from Sadie’s nursing home.
Would Mr. Chittenham please
come immediately.
“I’ll go with you," Bim said at
once, and looking at Chittenham’s
white face, she hated herself for
saying: "Perhaps it’s good news.
Perhaps she is recovering her
sight."
“1 hope so. God knows, I hope
so," Chittenham answered.
But it was something ' ery dif-
ferent. Early that morning, just
as it was getting light, they had
f iund Sadi'* lying on the pave-
ment below her window---i| u i t e
dead.
"It must have been an accident
-” they told him for his comfort.
“She must have tried to open the
window—the nurse had left her
alone for a few minutes—and we
think she lost her balance. Last
night she was quite cheerful and
hopeful, and looking forward to
seeing you today. We are sure it
must have been an accident.”
