She had told the man she loved that she loved him, and he had, upon the telling, pressed her away from him and was gone, perhaps, to his death. This ws incredible because she knew, instinctively, that this man loved her. Was a man's love different than @ woman's? All her life she had avoided what was called falling in love as a matter of expediency—a measure of safety against an emo- tion that she felt would demolish a career and a position in it that she had worked so hard to achieve. She knew her avoidance was not based upon repugnance, but on timid- ity. She had played too many roles wherein the woman gave all for love not to appreciate that there was a sound basis of fact for this instinct. During the weeks that Frank and she had been companions, she ca: to a fuller appreciation of the eno! mous timidity that had held her that night in Hollywood when Frank had asked her to marry him. She had struck him, gripped with that instinct that is as. old as Eve which causes the female to flee be- fore the advancing male. She had paid for that unreasoning gesture since with many # heartache. Was. man’s love different than) woman's?

Why, he’s got as many) lives as a—” He broke off slightly confused as if he realized impli- cation of hig words. But the import of his phrasing was lost upon the girl. “He left me, Billy. He left me without a word.” Tears welling un- controllably dimmed her sight. “Because he loves you, Janice.” THIN mist began to fall; it glis-) foes on the shrubbery abouti: them. The tall palms appeared to droop, as if in cringing expectation of -a heavier downpour. Janice hunched her shoulders in a slight shudger. “It's so dreary today. he loved me he would me'with him.’ “Nonsense!” Langton attempted to make his tone brusk. “What sort ofa man would Frank be, if he made you share a risk like that? Any man would have done the same, .. .” Janice nodded her head in dull agreement. “Any man, perhaps, Billy, but not a woman—” Langton smiled slightly. He drew the girl to feet. “Come, Janice, let's go inside. rain is going to soak us.
