She gmiled at Nora, the golden hoops swinging beside her olive cheeks. She began to explain all the vio-| lent happenings of the last 1ew|‘ days. Magdalenna groaned and| flung her arms up, made the sign of the cross and cradled some-| thing in her arms. There was an- other baby somewhere; but wheth- er it was the baby of her mother, Nora never knew. Then Magdalen- na kissed Nora's hand and thump- €d out on her sturdy peasant feet. Nora put the tray on the table and drew it up beside the window. Sheidrank the tepid coffee and ate rolls with a lusty young appetite. | She loved her funny little room,| the old chest of drawers, the mir- ror in its tarnished frame. Every- thing seemed charming this morn- ing. What would Nicholas say when he saw her? | —How wculd he ook at her? ,When she had drunk the last drcp of coffee and eaten the erumbs of her rolls, she drew out a battered diary and began to flutter through the pages. It was a long time since she had made an entry. Here they were—those old chap- ters of her wandering life, with oJulian . . . here and there, never gatisfied, always hoping. She read over a few of them. oct 1. . Baw spires of Oxford. Stole into Dean’s garden. Roses and sundial, Julian met Englishman in Inn. Terrible fight. Julian very drunk.

He straddled a chair nd grinned at her. “Well, Nora, my own, how are| you- I've good news for you!” he said gayly. “Have we come into a fortune?” He pulled out a cigarette from a flat tortoiseshell case and lighted it. Nora noticed for the first time that he was nervous. She thought, “He's in a hole. He doesn't know how to tell me.” “You might as well tell me at once, Julian!” “I spent the afternoon yesterday with Helen Nevers. And the truth is—the fact is” he inhaled a great breath of s.aoke and flung back his head, “I'm going to marry her.” She could not say a word. She felt a suffocating emotion take pos- session of her. “Well, aren’t you going to con- gratulate me?” her father asked airily. “It's the best thing that ever happened to us, Nora. She has enough money, and a place at 8t. Jean de Luz and she loves to wander about just as I do. Besides she's a charming woman!” father added when he saw her eyes pitilessly on him. ! ! He went on in an aggrieved tone. | “Here on the happiest day of my | life you're going to sit like a clod. You're jealous!” he cried in tri- umph. “Perhaps I am,” Nora admitted. “This isn't like you. I can't un- derstand you at alll” She was not glad. She was con-| fused and angry and hurt. She loved her father, but she despised | him a little and pitied him more. But suddenly she realized what it| meant: She was free. She was| ashamed as this feeling surged!| through her. Her face lightened, she held out her hand like a boy, and he grasped it. | “There, I knew you'd see it as| I do. She's always admired me. T saw that the first time I met her. We've cven decided about you. Wherever we go you're to come. You'll find she’s a charming wom- an as you know her better.” Her father rambled on while Nora sat lJooking at him. Did he think that she would let Mrs. Nevers support her and go trailing after them all over Europe? Her fierce young pride rose up in arms. How could Julian think that she would let Mrs. Nevers dispose of her life in this way? Her rebellion flamed into words of protest. “But I couldn't, Julian. You must see that. Not on her money!” “But it will be my money then!” He stood up. “I'll tell her that you're delighted, Nora.” GERMAN REMEDY STOPS 30-YEAR CONSTIPATION “For 30 years I had a bad stom- ach and constipation. Souring food {from stomach choked me. Since | taking Adlerika I am a new wom- |an. Constipation is (thing of the | past.”—Alice Burns. Most remedies reach only lower bowel.

He was going through the blue gate. Her own life was chang- ed in the twinkling of an eye. She was free now. She tried to recapture the first sharp thrill of freedom - but that was dulled by fear. For she felt desolate as though a child whom she had loved and watched over had been snatch- ed from her. Henceforth Helen Nevers and not herself would be responsible for him. What a terrible thing it was to| be penniless !She thought of ways | and means. But of whom could she | borrow money. Nicholas . . . she stood up and went to the window. She saw a man climbing the hill-~ side; something in his swaggering walk made her think it was Nich- olas. She flew out.of the house and followed the narrow path that led up the hill to the chestnut trees. She topped the hill and saw his figure clear against the sky; then he dipped down into the valley and she went more slowly in pursuit. When she reached him she saw he was leaning back against one of the chestnut trees, his legs stretch- ed straight before him. He was not at all as she had thought of him. The unsparing light showed his face older, more seamed, with a grayish pallor of the cheek bones. He looked up as though she had interrupted him when she came to sit timidly at some distance from him. “What's the matter?” he asked, frowning. “Julian is going to marry Mrs. Nevers.” “Yes?” “He told you?” “Last night.” He looked at her keenly as he added, “You don’t like Mrs. Nev- ers?” “No, I hate her!” she said, a sob almost bursting from her. “And you'd do anything to get away?” “Anything!” she whispered. He took his pipe out of his pocket and an oilskin bag of tobac- co. He packed it awkwardly with his left hand. She watched him in silence until he motioned that she draw closer to him. She waited, her arms about her knees, staring down the hillside with its pallid olive trees, and off to the brilliant sky. “I had pleasant news too, this morning,” he said in a matter-of- fact tone. “Dr. Madroni tells me I'll never use my hand again. Par- alysis,” his face contorted with the last word into a grimmace. It was as though all the familiar things she knew were gone. She had stepped off into some lonely place where he and she were shut in by pain. “If T hadn't asked you to open that shutter—" “Ift Iff If! He said violently. “If I hadn't met your father at the pensione, if I hadn't come to stay with him, if the nail hadn't been there.” “But some doctor can do some- {thing.” “Those fools of doctors!” “You'll find someone to cure you."” | | “I haven't your belief in the: kindness of . ... God,” he said bit- terly. A tear ran crookedly down her cheek and slipped into the throat; R WiLLIAM E.
