Jerry’s mistress! She wanted to laugh, and she wanted to cry. It was a lie. Thank God, is was not the truth, and yet—it might so very nearly have been. But it was a lie all the same— thank God! The gray ash fell, and she looked up into O’Hara’s face. "Well- asked, he had kicked (Jerry! "I told him I should do what I. have done.

The taxi stopped, and she got out head om an(j paj^ jare. then, without resting pies.itating, she walked to the en- ' trance of the flats.

It didn’t matter much either way—probably he wouldn’t be in. .She rang the bell and waited. Af­ ter a momen her husband’s manser­ vant came to the door. Barbara said, "Good-morning Ri­ chards—is Mr. Stark in?” “Yes, madam—just going out.” "I’ll go in. You need not an­ nounce me.” 4, She walked across the hall with unfaltering step and into the sitting room. It smelled of spirits and ci­ gar smoke and was overheated. A man stood by the sideboard empty­ ing a tumbler. Barbara said, "Good-morning Douglas.” "God Almighty!” Douglas Stark was a good-looking man, a little puffy under the eyes, and a little red in the complexion. “What do you want?” he demand­ ed gruffly, to hide his emotion. "Only to say that—if you—if you like—I’ll come back—no, no—as he moved toward her. ‘Wait. It’s on condition we go abroad—at once, and travel/—for as long as you like —months—years!

He hardly knew what he felt, or if he felt nothing at all, but he was conscious of a burning desire for the sun to cehse shining. He felt like a man who had been absorbed in watching some unreal drama on the stage and who now walks out again in the sane light of day. He tried to analyse himself and failed. He supposed that other men had imagined themselves desperately in love with some women other than theft wives and had paid as he was paying. Imagined! Had he imagined it? Or was it real? Was it still teal? He had not found the answer he sought when the train stopped, and Pauline was there at the win­ dow. "Darilng."

"I knew the kind of life you lead. You always knock about with men. I’ve always heard—it was Pauline who defended you—always; she would never hear a word.” Barbara’s stiff lips smiled. “Ah— Pauline!” The thought of Pauline was like a gentle hand laid on a terrible wound in her heart, and yet its very gentleness was agony. And Dennis blundered on, his sheer hon­ esty and distress making very word an insult. And Barbara laughed, a harsh steely laugh that was like a knife thrust in the tragedy of the room. "You seem to have had an entertain^ ing evening, altogether. Did you sit up till the small hours of the morn­ ing tearing me tO' ‘ pieces?” She caught her breath harshly; "Fine gentlemen, both of you—and you both pretend to love me.” Dennis said fiercely: "I did love you—God knows I did love you.”’ Already in the past! "I did love you,” not "1 do!” faithfully—the ob- sensitive mouth— that was all. she found herself she she But from Dennis O’Hara’s arms, and waited for him to speak. She had not moved her eyes from him—she knew it might be the last time she would ever see him, and she wanted to remember him stinate chin and behind him—and Then presently kneeling by the fire and wondering hopelessly why she could not cry. She would have kept him, but had let him go. Why? “Because I’m a damned fool,” told herself with shaking lips, she knew it was not; she knew It was because of a child she had once held in her arms for a little while that she had not found it possible to injure a child of Pauline’s. Mellish -came to the door. “Did you call me?” she asked. "Bring me some brandy, will you? I’m so cold.” "There’s a nice fire, too,” Mrs Mellish said. "Yes,” Barbara agreed. "Bring the brandy to my bedroom, please. I’m going out.” "Ghastly! Ghastly!” she thought, and hunted for rouge. Mrs. Mellish brought the brandy, the honest eyes—the brown hair, ahd the broad shoulders against she cried years.” by the He had wired af- to Half the Ills of Life Are Caused By Constipation For sale at all drug and general O«M limited, Toronto, Ont, Constipation is one of the most frequent ills of mankind, and one that is only too often allowed to go tihlooked after until some serious complication Sets in.
