A few days ago, site had seemed his for the taking. Now nothing he could offer—even the sacrifice of his precious fa eedom—coUki win her! At last he went convinced that the dazzle. of Hollywood was re- sponsible for her refusal, but he was mistaken. Salty watched him go and knew the spell he had had power to weave was broken cont- pleteiy. Next day the forest scenes of the film were completed, and the eon pony gathered for the last evening at the Leverton Arms. It reminded Sally, a little, of her own farewell supper to the Golconla people. There were speeches and toasts, and Slesenger paid a graceful tri- bute to Miss Sally Frayne. Tae asked her to accept a charming brooch as a souvenir, but he said nothing of the future, ,Sally had just taken her present to admire when there was a sudden disturbance—a sensation, as if the room was illuminated by a blaze of light, "Anita!" There was a ripple of silvery laughter in response of the voices that cried the name. A tiny figure stood in the door way—a small face !framed in a collar of white fox was smiling mischievously. The air seemed charged with electricity, emanating • from her. Behind her stood a stout, middle- I aged man—the triumphant bride- groom—the millionaire in whose yacht Anita had been spending her secret honeymoon. The papas blazed with headlines next morning. siness WILLIAM SPENCE Estate Agent Conveyancer and Commissioner GENERAL INURANCE MAIN STREET, OFFICE ETHEL, ONT. ^el*Zalitax.:1,12(4. pkWees CS".+i36`GBWLK..-.iFk'r.K'i+riVA,'m'Y.1M;�*'rI•."

"Heart of the Forest," she said in an interview, "will be my last pic- ture. Now I have found my dream anon, home is all I ask." It was good publicity for Heart of the Forest, ,but 'with the appearance of the real Anita Pearl, Sally's career s a film actress, ended. Anita returned to her millionaire's yacht, and Supreme Fihn sailed for New York, and Sally was lett be- hind. Life. seemed flat and empty. Hollywood did not want her. She had sent •Garth Chevenix away, and Frank Hiliyer• was out of England. ' Still Sally lingered in the forest. She wanted a few quiet days to face the future and try to form some plan. She wandered about the scenes where she had had her brief exper- iences as a film actress. She loitered at the cross roads, where she had parted. from Frank, She had just missed everything. At the gate of the farm she saw M'rs.,Reid was in the garden picking a nosegay, and seeing Sally she came to let her through, "Come in, my dear. It's very kind of you to call. He's getting on nicely. 1 was just picking a few flowers to cheer him up. He's so fond of them: But it'll do him more good to see you." ""Him? I don't understand " faltered •Sally. "Iladn't you heard of Frank's ac- cident, my dear?" No, What happened?' "011, dear, its given you a turn! tried the old lady. "I'm so sorry, I thought you'd heard, Sit down!' "What's happened to him?' utter- ed ttered Sally. "He couldn't go, my dear, he won't be fit to sail tor another month, There, there, you musn't cry. He's getting on. ncely. Of course he's in a good deal of pain, with his arm, but seeing you will help him to get better," "I didn't know he'd been hurt. I thought he sailed last Thursday," said Sally. "Is he here?" "I Wouldn't let them take him to the hospital. Didn't you hear about the fire?" "It was on Wednesday night at a cottage half a mile away. The thatch was blazing whets. Frank got there, and he helped to get the children out, He was bringing the baby when the stairs gave way -- No, the little thing wasn't hurt, by a miracle, but he had a nasty fall I.shall never forget when they brought him back! And it was all over before .the engines got there. If it hadn't been, for Frank those poor children' would have been burnt to death in their beds," "Can I see Frank?" asked Sally. "Presently, my dear, when you've got over the stools" said Mrs. Reid. "You shall take hips in these flow- ers, Hes been rather down this mo but perhaps it's all happen- ed for the best," "I'm sure it has," said Sally, with an April smile, * * ,h More than a year later she and Frank sat in a cinema watching the ffim of Heart of the Forest, Strange to see, on the screen, the scenes where Sally had doubled for the famous star. They could hear the sound of running water, and the song of birds, and no one, not in the secret, could have told where Anita Pearl moved: the audience to breath- less interest, or her double took her place, "'How mach you gave up for ins, Sully!" said Frank, ass they drove, homewards, In smite of her protestations he Would never believe that iris marve- lous wife had not *atrifleel a bril- liant career for him, "How mruo1 I gained!" she an- swered. He had reaped where another !rad.. sown. Dar% ,Chevenix had await - end 'Sally's heart, but it was all her hueband'a now. His true, love, un- spoken, had broken tho spell Woven by the other, Sally wars happy, hZting her fate to the starlight, going home with ••Frani! She has no regrets, In her heart wa's the deep contentment of the Women who has found her One spate, Site felt as' if she must Iowa loved ]jinn always, even in, the days When his love hail been untold.
