"Have you known him long?" Aline asked. "For several years. When I am particularly unhappy I send for him and he comes to help me. He seems to know better than anyone else how to help you over the rough sur- faces of life." "Chris, are you often unhappy?" Very often, . Anne I wislh, I had not such a faithful heart. Fidelity is out of date, but I am fool enough not to be able to forget. And when the bad fits come over me, Ivor cheers me up. He has a 'wonderful philosophy of his own. He has had Plenty of troubles, himself, I sup- pose that is what makes him so sympathetic." There was silence in the pretty room for a little, a silence throbbing with emotions and secret desires and frustrated longings. Anne pressed her friend's hand gently, but said nothing, nor did Chris, she did not even ask how or where Ivor and Anne hacl met. That was one of her endearing qualities. she never pried into other people's concerns. Several other people dropped in that evening, for Chris was popular and beautiful. There was a great deal of interesting conversation and waters closed in over her. She longed to die. Staring at her, Dudley knew lies would be futile. Somehow she had found out. Well, he had known she would sooner or later. He was sc deep in his infatuation that his wife had ceased, or all about ceased, to count.

She had flatered his vanity and appealed to his senses, he was as one under s spell. "Anne—it's no use beating about the bush. I can't deny I love Celia We belong to each other, I'm very sorry, but there it ih, and I have seen that you and I have come to the end.

Anne had listened in a stupor to his candour, The frank brutality of it all bruised her as physical blows would have done. The easy way in which he could speak of her growing to care for another man showed more than anything else, how wide a chasm rolled between them. He must have utterly ceas- ed to care if he could calmly advise her to marry someone else. Site raised heavy eyes and looked, at th®.face she had ever thought the handsome,at in the world, at the eyes which had met hers with passion, at the mouth . which had given hers its first kiss. 'Was' it possible, with all that be She was in a terrible state of ner- vous tension the following morning as she waited for Dudley's return. Deep in her heart lurked a faint hope that she might be wronging him—oh, if she only were. How wonderful life would seem again, if 1 she discovered he, was guiltless. How passionately she would try to make up to him for her doubts. He came at last. She heard his latchkey in the door, then his voice addressing the maid. The next second the door opened, and he was before her. "Hulloe, darling," he cited. "The wanderer has returned, you see. How's things?" He was coming to kiss, her, a smile on his handsome face, but In- voluntarily she drew back. He noticed her action immediate. ly. Hever once had she repulsed him before. His face darkened, then he said lightly— "What's up, old girl Not sulking because I had to leave you?" I"Had you to leave ane, Dudley?" Anne asked calmly. "I thought I went into all that before I went away.'' He spoke with the irritation of a guilty man whe is afraid of what is 'going to come out. Quickly his mind was working round the possibilities of discovery which might have given him away, working, too, ou the question of how much it was worth while to go on lying to her. "That was when I thought y'3u were going to Oxfordshire," Anne replied, still quietly. "Yon didn't tell me you were going to Paris with Celia Garnock" She never 'forgot the expression of his face as she !launched her bombshell. Had it not been so full of tragic issue she could have found the comlbination of sheepishness. annoyance and surprise almost amusing.
