4 POLLY SUTTINLY S OF THE WAVE, THIS MORN/IN. P You COME? R Paw? § OPSIS: Hallic Elles: 3 beautiful young nurse, is en- gaged to Lester Breon, rich young idler, but has fallen in love with his older half-brother, Saxley Granno: nick-named “Sccks,” who tally must approve Lester's choice of a wife before he can marry and in- herit his share of the family fortune. Grannock also falls in love with Hallie, when they meet accidentally on a cliff above Long Island Sound, but cannot see her clearly, as he is suffering from eye trouble. He undergoes a treatment which will cither cure his eyes or bring almost complete blindness. Hallie, hired to nurse Gran- neck without his knowledge, and notify Dr. Lytton when cer- tain tymptoms develop late at night, is overcome and impris- oncd by Lester when he comes home drunk. She is unable to eall Dr. Lytton at the proper time and as a result Grannock loses his sight. Hallie is dis- graced and will be dismissed from her profession. She now hates Lester, who ctill insists, hewever, that he is going to marry her. Grannock, of course, doss not know that the nurse who betrayed him and the girl with whem he fell in love with- out knowing her name, are the fame person. Only her voice is familiar to him. He has given her a tiny ivery rese ne a love token, Chapter 6 A MERCIFUL MISTAKE “You will, of course, mal attempt to see Mr. Grannock.” ™ no The words hammered on in Hal- Mie’s brain. So sure was Dr. Lyt- ton that she would make no at- tempt to speak to Saxley Gran- nock before she left the house that he had gone back into the drawing room and shut the door. She began to sob; long, gasping sobs that wrenched at her breath and left her trembling. She put one hand against her lips to stifle the sound .and another to her breast to ease the wrenching pain that lodged there. Under the stiff print and calico of her uniform her fingers could trace the outline of the ivary rose. She drew it out and gazed at it.| For one wild moment she wanted to throw herself down somewhere Zanywhere in the darkness, alone with the rose—and let the full tide of her grief rise over her and bear her away; let the shame and pity ahd the agonizing remorse shatter her and break her and have done | gith it. m stood rigid, fighting for self eontrol. The voices in the draw- " fhg room rose and fell. Upstairs, servants were occupied; they moved one bedroom to another. She old herself that she could not pos- sibly face them. She decided that she would leave the house now, at'once, just as she was. The few jons she had brought with er could be sent to her lodgings. #¥Half-blinded by her misery, she threw aside her apron and cap, opened the front door and ran o the steps. The drive led past : drawing room window but there , Wwas another way of getting out into the road; she had accompanied Dr. that way on the previous when he had given her his “E ROSE ‘ROYP/IYCKERSI IN THE DARK ON THE CREST 5 SUN BUR FOR THE & HOW.

She stood stricken, dumb,‘ ble to move forward or back- {'ward. Her hand opened slackly fand the ivory rose slipped on to the gravel. “Who is that?” demanded Gran- | nock. [ She had assumed that he would be in bed or at most moving un- |certainly about his shaded room. | “Who is it, please? I-I can't sce at all, now.” Hallie could never afterwards re- {member what the words were that {weré torn from her. What had she |cried to him—that her heart was |breaking, that her life was there ‘}m his feet, that the ivory rose had betrayed them both to loss and| 1de.~puir? - | She could never say.

I know—I ought to know—and yet, I can't let you go. Oh, I can't think sanely about that woman— that nurse—that Ellesmore woman —who blinded me!"” His arms crush- ed her so fiercely to him that she smothered a protest. “Don’t think of her!” she gasped. “No, T won't.” His arms relaxed and dropped to his side. Then, as though he feared she had left him, his hand sought hers again and held it. “I won't think of anything except this wonderful madness you are offering me . . . And isn't this the maddest thing of all, that I don't even know your name? Tell me what it is!” (Copyright, 1930, by Roy Vickers) Will Hallie spoil Grannock’s happiness and her ¢wn by re- vealing her true identity? See tomorrow’s chapter.
