Tirane 156 "When Hearts Cahn and" By Elizabeth York Miller CHAPTER. XLII.—(Contd) The touch of the dogs tongue, both comforting and repugnant, brought eats. back to herself. She pushed him away, laughing hysterically, Both Hector- and Hugo were safe. Gaunt hacl reached the bottom and was staggering towards her•in a half- -drunken fashion, Hugo lying across his shoulder as inert as a dead man, with head and anus and feet d'rang- 1ing, "Something's the matter with him,' Gaunt gasped out, as they subsided 40n to the rough. grass, "Perhaps it's only a faint." Carlo brought the lantern and they lighted it, Bright as; the moonlight was, . its radiance had an unnatural gsraiity,'and it seemed impossible to tell just what had happened to Hugo. Thelantern, flashed upon his dead - fade revealed little or nothing beyond.alae obvious fact that he was ' tnconscious, "3'ust.a faint," Gaunt assured Jean And himself. "Fetch some water and army brandy flask, Carlo. You'll find the flask in my 'coat pocket." i3tit neither the water nor the bran- dy. revived Hugo, Ile was not dead. but his breathing was strange—•a sort of snuffling snore, a grim parody of 5'leep.

Jean sat beside Hugo holding one of his unresponsive , hands, Gaunt washed his 'blood -'caked face, lit his pipe and sat down on a rock to wait for the dawn and the doctor. Tito was a little bored, He yawned and went to sleep at Httgo's feet. CHAPTDR XLIXI.. - The' long road betyeen Ventimiglia and 13oiiclighera was ahnost deserted. as the open carriage took Alice "from the station.

It was an acrid, bitter heat that scorched ,like fire, No one was astir. The untidy, little shojisand houses tilong the way were closely jalottsiecl against the sun. Oe cassionally a. dark form was seen hov ering in some dins interior. Dogs ,and chickens slept in the shade. An empty. train -way car bounced by, thedriver- in his shift sleeves;, the conductor, lolling hall asleep in the ear, a cig- arette drooping from . his lips.

The big hotels were all shuttered, the flower gardens burnt out and withered the palms. 'white • with dust. It was the pro- longed hour of the siesta.

Only 'she had got the message; long before a telegram. was despatch- ed. Her mother's voice had reached her in some mysterious way. How ow thank- ful' she was to have obeyed the sum' mons, Mumsey needed and want.d' her. She took off her hat and jacket and travel -stained gloves. Had the glanced into one of the Venetian 'u mir- rors it 'would have told her tlaat she was not looking her best; that, for one thing, she needed a wash. But this ,was not a moment when mirrors interested hes-., It seemed .that Clementine was gone a long time. Pattering footsteps sounded in the quiet house, a bell rang, liadcleliine looked out inquisi- tively from a swing door, leading to the kitchen quarters,and withdrew af- ter a somewhat prolonged scrutiny of the visitor. Then Hector Gaunt cane up the stairs from the little library-roomnin the basement, and he, too, was sur- prised that Alice had arrived so soon, She did not explain to him how it had happened., : but questioned' him anxi- ously about the situation in the house- hold. • He' looked an old, tired man, and there was a crit on his forehead which had been bandaged with piaster, He took her into the drawing -room and told her as best he could; refer• ring always to the man she believed to be her father, as Hugo. They had gone on a picnic to Castle d'Appio, and Hugo had taken it into his head to climb up to the top of the ruin. There had been tronblein getting him down, for at the last he had been ta- ken with a:seiiure of some sort, and remained unconscious ever since: He was dying now. The doctor said lie could not possibly last more than a few hours, Her mother was with hint. Yes;+of course Alice could go up, She tnusn't be shocked by her another's ap- pearance; Jean had been through a great deal. Alice suddenly found herself iveep- ing on Gaunt's shoulder. There was. something very comforting about this big, quiet man, who, seemed to 1ake. life -or death—as it came, making no. great fuss over either. She had a longins to tell him her own troubles She felt that he was the sort of man who could solve thein for her... or at least;, convince her of how little mo- ment they were.
