PHILLIPS OPPLNHEIM (Continued from last week) She suddenly collapsed. She lay face downwards on the Sofa near where she had been standing. Her long, slim body was convulsed with sobs. She shook from head to foot, her hands beat the cushions. Jermyn sat and looked at her. iHis expression was simply faintly softened by a pity entirely impersonal. Nevertheless, he rose to his feet and came and stood over her. 'Lucille," 'he said, "I am sorry. I had hoped that you would recognize the . situation. It is not my fault that 1 married you -you know, that. Therefore, what do I owe you? ,You keep me here by your side Eu't you can't expect to buy those things front me which a man can honorably give only when he loves. 'I have nothing of that sort to give you, Lucille." She grew gradually_ calmer. When she got up he 'was for . a moment startled by her appearance. He would indeed, have led her to the door, but she ran away from him like some frightened animas. "Don't! Don't.. touch me," she moaned, "not just now. '1 can't bear it! I suppose I am hysterical to- night. Don't come near me, Jer- myn. Go back to your place. Don't! Don't! Don't!" `iShe half ran out of the room, her shoulders bent, a strange limpness about her. She seemed suddenly to have lost carriage'; -'grace and life it- self. The door closed. Jermyn went slowly back to his seat. 'He turned the lamp a little higher. He looked down at' the proof sheets 'before him -he saw nothing. It seemed to ,him that -the room . wee, full of voices - ghostly, 'plaintive voices. 'He- heard them on every side, curiously thrill- ing in their unearthly note of des- pair. ' Don't! Don't! Don't!" CHAPTER XXXV Sybil remained an enigma to the gossips. of stageland. 'She 'was gen- tle and courteous to her old friends, 'but her avoidance of new• acquaint-. antes was marked and definite. Jer- myn was the only man with whom she 'was ever seen, and Jermyn was .scarcely the sort of person to be lightly accused of a liaison. Mr. Lev- enden took a fatherly interest in her,' and his wife did all she could to bring S'ylbil ..more into tljeir little world. "What you want, my dear," she decided one day, "is a chaperon. Ev- ery young girl of your 'position and appearance living alone, should have a chaperon." ."Should they?" 'Sylbjl answered -quietly. "Well, I never feel that I need one. 'I don't see what d owe to public opinion that 'I should. bore my- self with an old, lady and pay her for boring me:" "But, my dear, it's so very Ancop- ventional," the manager's wife per- sisted. "Even Miss Cartnell has one -in fact they all do." "Perhaps," ' Sybil remarked, "they' need them. , ,If the stories one hears about Miss Cartnell are half'of them true, she certainly does. For my part, I go about so little that it would seem absurd .for me to saddle myself with such an incubus. One's work doesn't 'finish in the theatre, 'you know, 'Mrs. Levefiden," she con- tinued. "I often spend an afternoon thinking over my part, and I read all the plays which are sent to me. Tha takes a good deal of time." (Mrs. Lei'enden shook her head. "My dear," she said, "it isn't na- tural at your age. You ought to be going about with other young people and enjoying yourself. That's the way to keep young. Why, you'll be a little old maid in no time." "That doesn't terrify me in the least," 'Sybil assured her, smiling. "I don't at all believe that old maids have such a very bad time -not the sort of old maid I fancy myself as being." "All the same, it isn't natural," Mrs. Levend'en persisted. "Except for -'forgive me, dear, for mention- ing his name, won't you? -(Sir Jer- myn Annerley, you are never seen out with anyone at all." "There is no one else," Sybil re- plied, "whom I care to ,be seen out with. :Sir Jermyn is always inter- esting. We have our work to talk about, and many other things." "But, bless the girl," Mrs. Leven - den exclaimed, "it isn't a good thing to be. seen out with no one . except one man! There's safety in num- 'hers, you know. Gpme and ' spend the week end with us-this'week end, now. Harry has some young men coming clown and we'll stir things up" Sybil laughed and shook her head. "I know your parties are delight- ful." she said, "but they are not for me." Nevertheless, Sybil thought of her friend's advice that morning when she tool's her usual walk in the Park. Although she would never have con- fessed it to Jermyn, in those days she was very conscious of missing the groat things of life. The very brilliancy of the season, the perfume and color of the flowers, the soft blue sky, the sunshine and the mild west wind, all seemed charged to her some- times with a sort of delicate mock- ery; a spurious, fantastic invitation towards the delights of a life whose gates were closed to her. She watch- ed the faces' of the young girls whom she met, so many of them with young men of their own age. Were these things indeed' passing her by? She was exactly in this mood, stand- ing on the edge of the curb -stone, preparing to cross the road, when a great motor -car drew up akmn st be. side her, and a young man leaned from his place at the driving wheel towards her with uplifted hat. "Good morning, Miss 'Cluley!" She recognized him at once,, al - ea*e1tiiP though•the very thought of his name gave her a faint shiver. It was Ger- ald 'Lakenham. 'He looked at her a little eagerly. "I wondered," he said diffidently, "seeing you alone, 'Miss Cluley - I wondered whether I couldn't 'tempt you for just a short spin?"' I've got a new car --a perfect beauty. She :goes -swell, just get in and let me put her on fourth speed down the 'Bayslwater Road. Do!" !Sybil hesitated only for a moment. Alfterwards, it seemed amazing to her that she should have consented. "I'll cone," she decided. "I think I should love it. The car does look a beauty." !The boy's"'face was flushed with pleasure. 'He handed her in, and the chauffeur left "his side and entered the tonneau, "You wouldn't rather be behind, would you?." he inquired a little doubtfully. "I don't think it's half such fun myself. There's a wind screen and you 'haven't a very large hat,, have you?" ' • • "I am sure that I shall like it bet- ter here," she declared'. • 'The great car glided off togk its place amongst the line of other ve- hicles, and shot .out into the Bays- water Road like a live thing. Sybil, after a moment's nervousness, began to feel the exhilaration of it. "What' time have you to be back?" he asked her. "'Any reasonable time," she an- swered. "It's about eleven now, isn't it? .I like to have lunch about one." "Good!" he exclaimed. "Two hours -why, we can scour the country. Would yoti care for another rug?" "I am perfectly comfortable," she assured hint, leaning back, "and per- fectly happy." , They 'passed a little tediously out of 'the suburbs into 'the country. Then Gerald turned southwards and they came to a region of curving., lanes, lanes i whose • hedges were wreathed with dog -roses and honeysuckle, lanes which divided meadows in which larks were singing, meadows starred with yellow (buttercups. The sky was bluer than'' ever that ;Horning, the, wind softer. Sybil sat most •of the time with half-closed eyes. "Please don't think that you must talk to me," she begged after' he 'bad made several attempts at. spasmoic conversation.. 'I know quite well that one ought• not to -,speak to anyone ;driving abig car. 'Believe me, I just like ,to sit back- and look out into the country and breathe this air: It's wonderful." "And doesn't she rip!" Gerald ex- claimed, enthusiastically. "Never changed speeds since we turned into the Bayswater Road, and that last hill was a bit 'of a corker with the pull up for those wagons. Look at' her now, just with a touch. It's all on the throttle. Why, 1 believer' I could get her to sixty-eight miles an hour." "Don't try, please!" she laughed. "I like this sknooth gliding along." "We're not exactly crawling, you know," he reminded her. "We are doing an easy thirty." . "Then, please don't db any more," she begged. 'They passed 'across a gieat com- mon, where the gorse .!bushes were breaking' into yellow blossoms and the young bracken was shooting up, a new' and !wonderful green. In -the distance a lake shone like a mirror; in the 'background the woods rolled away to the horizon. Sybil's enjoy- ment' was complete. Her companion obeyed her 'bidding literally. He de- voted his whole attention to the car, and the few remarks he made were entirely concerned with their pro- gress. 'Wihen• at last they found themselves once more in the streets of London, Sybil sat up with a little sigh of regret. "Where shall I put you down?" he asked. "Where do you live? I'll take you all the way -I'd like to." (,$urley Court," she told him. "We are going into London that side, are wee not?" He assented. lie was suddenly a little shy again. "I wonder he began, after a few moments' hesitation, "wouldn't you come and have lunch with me some- where ?" She shook her head. "Do you know, I hate restaurants," she remarked simply. "I never go out at all. I am afraid you will think I'm a terribly old-fashioned frump, hut 'I love to have just a cutlet and one glass of claret in my sitting - room, with the paper propped up in front of me, and then lie on the couch and smoke a cigarette after- wards, 'He was obviously disappointed. ' "I know you don't often go any- where," he- said. "I've never seen you in a restaurant in my ,life ex- cept with old .Jermyn. I thought this morning, though," he went on, "the air and all that might hay& g#yen you a little 'better appetite and you might have 'felt like a change. You don't think it's cheek my asking, do you?" She looked at him for a moment and hesitated. After all, she knew without any conceit that her coming Would give him pleasure, and her morning had certainly been delight- ful. "Well, I will change my mind just this once, if I may," she declared smiling. '"I will come and handl with you, if you like, only you must take me home almost directly after- wards. 'I have a new 'understudy. She is coming to talk with me this afternoon." "Hooray!" Gerald exclaimed. "That is' fine! Now.

Jermyn leaned back in bis chair and listened. Sometimes he listened, sometimes he watched Sybil. She was at all times too entirely natural to be in the least embarrassed by his pres- ence, and she devoted herself to her task with a devotion which, consider- ing that it was entirely a labour of love, very much impressed him. Lat- er on, when they were alone,, he re- marked upon it. She laughed as she sank on to a footstool at his feet. "Isn't it your play, dear?

The last few min- utes had been full of reflections, in- spired by the delicate atmosphere Which Sybil seemed always to create around her.

In her heart she knew that as long as she lived there could be no other man in her life save one. . . 'Gerald went joyously, round to 'his club, and almost the first' person he saw was Jermyn. "Hullo, sir!" he exclaimed cheer- fully. "Do you know whom I've tak- en for a drive in nay new car this morning?" "I am quite sure," Jermyn replied, "that the circle of your acquaintances is far too wide for me to make any reasonable guess. Unless," he added his tone growing a trifle colder, "you have 'been round to see Lucille?" Gerald shook his head. "I was driving in the Park, trying my new car." he explainer, "and I saw 'Miss Cluley standing on the pavement. It was just an impulse but it seemed to me that she looked a little lonely.

"Gerald is as playing around town like other boys' of his age and temperament, and I hated to 'have you seen with him. "But that is 'so simple, then, dear," she. told him softly. "I will not go out with him again, if I can avoid it without hurting his feelings. It was only a moment'% indecision -and he was just as kind and delightful as could be. 'Now I know 'how you feel, it is different, of course." Jermyn rose suddenly to his feet. Her answer had completed his humil- iation. "Sybil!" he exclaimed hoarsely. "Sybil!" Looking up into his face, she saw the change. Her' knees began to tremble. She rose slowly. Her eyes were still fixed upon his, but she said nothing. He...cau'ght• her' suddenly by the wrists. "It is intolerable!" he cried. "In- toleraible!" Her eyes alone questioned him, • "'I am like a clog upon your life," he continued fiercely. "I receive ev- erything, I, give nothing..

The slight con- ceit engendered by the: aesthetic and purposeful exclusiveness of his life served him no longer any useful pur- pose. From the lips of this little• actress, whose birth was middle- class and whose education had been scanty, who had been adrift upon ,the world at the age when most girls go to finishing schools, he received the lesson of his life.
