She must! And she would forget her own unhappi- ness, in looking after her. Petroneila never wanted to en- dure suspense, like that of the last months, again. She had watched every post. Tony had not written. She had sent a subscription to Clare Horton, whose fund for White Russians, and the particu- lars of the camps she was estab- lishing, were now receiving a good deal of publicity in the English papers. Very casually, she had mentioned that she had met Tony, and asked for news of him. Miss Horton had answered. She had not seen_him since early December, when he had been very helpful to ber. He had had fever, and was Jooking ill. She believed he must have left China. Petronnella, and Peter, had thought the same. The Daily News published no more of his articles. Had he returned to England? Or yight he arrive sud- denly, unexpectedly, in Rangoon, to explain? But he had not come. The moment Peter entered the bungalow, she handed him the cable. Even though the news was sobering, he, to, gave a shout of wonder. “You'll sail with me! Poor old Maisie,” he added dutifully. “But perhaps she’s all right.” __ “I think that, too. I do hope she is, I bélieve it is because I wrote to her.” His eyes met hers. “So we go together after all! That’s the grand part of it!” Petronella walked to the window and leaned out. “Yes, Peter, I shall hate leaving > ie in some ways.

Making His Start ge following Monday, Peter called up to tel] them that he had started work. He was a reporter on the staff the Daily News., He sington, only slightly larger than that which‘hé had otcupied during his car-selling interlude. For a month Petronella felt it best to remain at home, in the “Forest House,” amid its awakening trees, Aunt Maisie’s mythical illness was good reason for delaying the sec- retarial training she had decided to take. She went, therefore, to several local dances, with James, She goitea with him at Handcross, and laywards Heath. She rode. She walked alone. She read the Daily News, where reports were once again headed Anthony Lance, with sunset. The trees of Burma stood darkly etched against its glory. “No, it isn’t our road,” she an- swered softly. Father looked very lost, for a moment, when Peter told him the news. She felt sorry for him, and guilty, herself. He had done his best, as he understood it. It was not his fault, in his over anxiety for her future, that he had threat- ened her happiness. Perhaps, some day, she would see that she had been to blame more than she would now admit, for comping. Ina way. she was very fond of him. Or rather, she would have been, real- ized Petronella regretfullyjohad not the clash of their ideas cob-. tinually frustrated the possibil of friendship between them.

And if there was anyone ee ticular, here, he hinted—well, they came home every years, on leave! - + Peter went to the telephone. He telephoned the shipping office, and reserved a second berth on the “Stirland,” sailing next Friday.

At present I thoroughly bawleé out.” Petrel could not help noticing that he talked much too fast, that one sub- ject had not the power to hold his attention for more than afew min- utes, before he rushed on to some- thing else.
