The Jade-
By
MARY BVILAY TAYLOR
CHAPTER XII
Pain had ordered her little tea-
table -carried into the library. She
rarelyrnade tea ,there unless Burle-
son asked it, but today he was out
and the great fireplace tempted her:
R was a gray day and the leap of
the fire would be like; the heart of
a welcome warm and bright. It
was"' nearly five o'clock. She had
barely time to give a few more
dainty touches to her tea -table. Her
eye caught the glimmer of the
green jade god on her uncle's .li-
brary' table. The sight of it re-
called'bis,face yesterday, thesudden
,;ed streak'betweetf his brows; she
stood an instant looking at the bu
rious little green image, its Uncan-
ny, elfish face, its pointed beard,
green' as seaweed, its perfect hands.
It squatted as an Oriental god
should, and the light from the fire
gleamed on its bald jade head. Sud-•
denly•fancy seized her; she lifted it
and ptit it gentlydown .on•her table
besidethe flowers.
"Uncle can lend it to me for an
hour anyway,"' she rthought, and
glancing again at the clock, forgot
it,
Mark was ;coming! Her heart was
beating; -in spite of herself she felt
a . tremor . of uneasiness. She tried
to thrust out disturbing thoughts, ,
but old Fosdick's manner, .his treat
menet, of the man, had been so —
so ,disconcerting; She was a' little
disturbed still, though her eyes
•were shinint,- when there was a
stir in the hall, the lifting of a por-
•$iere, anew voice, and then the 'tall
man with 'the level eyes. '
She held. out a frank hand. "I'm
so glad you could 'come!" she said;
"I thought it might be hard for you
to find the time."

He took her hand and held it,
looking down' into her eyes.
"It's been a thousand times hard-
er to stay away," he replied sins-
ply, "and I've tried I never meant
to come here 'again!"
She gave him a questioning look;
the firelight caught her face and^'
showed it ivory pale.
"I don't know what you mean,
but you'll- tell me?" she breathed
softly.
"I came to tell you."
"Sit down then, let me give you
a cup of tea," her voice faltered.
"No!"' he said quickly.
Suddenly, impulsively, she put
her hand out and" touched his arm.
f`Tt Can't be as bad as that — and.
I'm your friend!" she assured him
sweetly.
He caught her hand'afdkissed it..
passionately; then he let it drop
and folded his arms. •
"I'm not fit to do that," he said.
hardily, "I've :played a part."
Then he told herthe simple truth
about his.meeting' with Landon and'
Banks, and the wager.,.
, "I, was nothing, but a shabby int
,poster, even my name's false,"> he
said bitterly.."I don't deserve tobe
spoken to; It burns nee up with
shame. I made a vow :.I wouldn't•
come back here under false pre-
tenses. I was going away whets you,
met ane the- other day. You ought
to refuse to speak to ;met" •
She, seemed to consider this, for
she -said nothing for a while, and.
her silence hurt him.
"I. can't understand," she said in
a low voice; ,"Why a man like.you
should come 'here like thatl To let
yourself be well, be brought here'
On a wager." -
"Tomake you understand that
I'd, have to td1 you the. story of my
Ise replied : hoarsely, "the
whold story!"
"Yes?" she said, gravely, interro-
gatively.
He straightened up, his haggard •
eyes' met hers. "My God, I — I
can't do .that!" he' cried brokenly;
"I'm ,a coward -- I can't do thatt"
* * *
But she was Silent, waiting. The
girl's quiet attitude, the curve of
her cheek turned toward him, gave
no,bint of the' turmoil in her.. own
Mind. She recalled — too vividly
bosdick's attitude, his lean old
black -clad shoulder turned on the
:younger mast, the biting mockery
of his tone when he repeated the
name, "Byram," a false name, as
she knew now. She was shaken with
dismay, yet his Very presence there
appealed to, her, reassured her be-
lief in hint
"What is your name?" she asked
hint, its a ,low voice, watching him.
He lifted his head. Would this
end it? Would she -know at 'once?
"Mark Grant," he replied slow-
ly, letting the. two words drop into
the silence. Then he turned and
looked at her. She' did not know!
How could she? Tt was fifteen years
ago! The relief of her ignorance
made his heart leap; she did not re
,coil, she did not look abhorrence at
him, the name meant nothing to
her. She was still' concerned with
the wager. •
"I can't see how you cane to,do
it," she repeated. "Teddy Banks-"
her gesture was disdainful •=- "and
Landon, I know thenen! But you—''

Swedish Relief Ship Brings
Food and Medical Supplies
To Islanders and Germans
The Channel Islands, off . tise
coast of France at the westerlt en-
, trance to the English Channel, are
' the only British , territory under .
German occupation. The Germans
moved in 'when France was de-
feated tit 1940 and when the gen-
era! situation for Britain was so
serious that site could not risk
men and warships, in defence of
these hits of land' which in the
circumstances had little .or po stra-
tegic importance. _ lv o w, with
France liberated, the situation is,
like something out of a Gilbert -
and -Sullivan opera. The -35.000
Germans ' who comprise the gar-
rison are '151 effect prisoners, be-
cause they cannot escape and ev-
entually they must siti•render. But
to compete their, surrender now
would involve the islands in the
death, misery .and destruction' of
perhaps a prolonged siege, and
that is something to 'be avoided.

Standard reports that the Swedes
found little distinotion 'in outward
appearance' between Germans and
islanders — "famine,and misery
have reduced them ta common

were "more or -less in rags ,
their thin, sallow faces hearing a
curious resemblance' • '

The visitors found the food situ-
ation very bad.` All' She horses on
the island long since had .been
slaughtered and 'made into saus-
ages. The meat ration had been
-reduced to three ounces, per head •
per month. There was no sugar
ration, but in a "black market" of
sorts sugarstill' could be bought
at L1 per pound. The main deli
is cabbage and ;seed potatoes, ek-
ed out With syrup made from beet=
roots. Tea arid coffee had not been
seen for months, and such butter
as could be produced; was going-
to
oingto children and invalids. And the
Standard adds:
"The islanders, despite hardships,
-maintain fairly good spirits, look-
ing forward' to liberation daily.
Nowadays there is no friction be-
tween the zfrisoti and the na-
tives; all realize . that they are in

Germans,: when they tools over the
islands, was that German should

nel Islands would remain an oat -
