"It's nothing I•stumbled," she said sullenly. He was holding her firmly, support- ing her, and his deep eyes looked straight into hers. "Good heavens, Nancy, don't hate. me sol" he cried violently. She pressed her lips ; determinedly together, tears of anger in her eyes. "Let me go," she panted, "I didn't go lame on purpose—I—I'm not throw- ing myself at your head again!" He let her go out of his arms as if she had stung him. "Why don't you go then?'" he asked her harshly. She kept her blue eyes fixed on his, fury leaping up in them like a con- suming flame.

He saw it; the angry lover was sud- denly merged in the doctor. She was hurt and he could help her. She had done something to her foot in the fall. It would take his skill to mend it. Without a word, he picked her up in his arms and carried her up the long path to his own house. "Don't struggle so!" said Richard sharply, "if you've hurt your ankle, you'll make it worse. I'm going to bind it for you." As he spoke he carried her into his office and put her gently down on the old leather lounge in the corner. Her impulse to spring up, vanished with a new pang in her ankle, and he was taking off her shoe and feeling her foot. Then, ignoring her, he went to the door and called sharply: "Mammy Polk, some hot water!" Nancy, sitting on the side of the lounge, clenched her hands gn the edge of it until her knuckles whitened.

She .smiled, drooping 'her lids over eyes that softened too much when. they met his; even a little 'color went up in her face and transfigured it. ' "She's beautiful," he. thought reluc- tantly. "I've taken lots of it already," she. said, laughing quietly. "1 increased the dose last ` night." "What! "Chloral." She stirred in her chair, and he saw that her chin was shaking. I -l "Look here, elena, this won't do," he spoke kindly, with genuine concern "Do you know, I ought to tell King." "King!" She sat up, turning the blaze of angry eyes on him. "Why King?' He's thinking of nothing—of no one -but his new racehorse he got from Lomax. He and the grooms are at him day and night, getting hint in shape. He's to race next month. King cares more to have that horse win the race for him—or to win himself in a golf tournament, than he cares for any soul!" , She rose from her chair and went to• the wriidow. Helena was winking back hot tears. She had seen Rich- ard's face as he looked at Nancy, and every instinct. of her nature leaped up into furious jealousy. "Richard, I'm wretched—what's the use of lying? King and I hate each other cordially -1—" she covered her face with her hands. (Continued Next Week:) "You love that fellow! You want Roemer's kisses not mine!" Roemer's kisses, not mine! I—" he choked with fury—"he shan't have you!" he began, to walk up and down the room; "he sha'n't have you, do you hear me, Nancy?" He stopped short. The door of his office stood ajar and he suddenly saw a woman's figure coming down the hall. Unannounced, Mammy Polk had admitted a patient. •It was Helena Haddon. "Nancy, stay here—I'll take her in- to the other room," he said below his breath, going to meet his visitor. But Nancy had struggled to her feet. "I'm going home," she gasped, and steadied herself, leaning on, the. table beside her.Helena heard her. "Don't let me break in on another patient," she said, smiling, and then, conning to the door: "Why, 'AMss Gordon, are you ill, too?" Richard flushed, `"It's a twisted ankle," he said briefly, "let ane take you into the library, Mrs. Haddon; �o Miss Gordon can't walk very well yet, the ankle's just bandaged." • "I'm so sorry—" Helena began. .. But Nancy cut them both short; she straightened herself and began ti walk; quite steadily across the room. "I'm going'right home," she said.
