But Jane, being human, could endure just so much. “I think I should remind you, Evelyn, that you are poking your nose into something that doesn’t concern you, But if you wish to tell Mr. Forsythe, you may, and if you wish to move out of the tent, you may do that, too, As for the rest —well, to be pestactly blunt, I am not interested.” Heedless of the girl’s outcry of rage, she turned and struck off along a path that led up toward a little hill that gave one a grand view of the vast purple and flame lake. Here, where Evelyn couldn't see her, she gave expression to the agitation which had been through her almost from had seen She bother t> wipe away the tears, either.

But that hadn’t been the case at all. The same man, except that now he had a wife and didn’t seem quite as eager for the Army nurse’s kisses as he once had been. She bit her Lips, feeling furious with him. Five long, long years, and all that he had been able to say was that he was in love with the English woman he had mar- ried! She marveled now that she had been able to control the im- pulse she'd had to slap his face. ever had she been so angry with a man as she had been then. Hf it had not been for the desperate longing within her, her sha: aching need of him, she would have abandoned him to the hor- rible fate he had prepared for himself, But at the back of her mind had been the knowledge that he had never, never known what was best for him, The salty tang of his kiss still seemed to linger on her lips, the warmth of it still seemed to course through her body. The memory of that briei moment of rapture had the effect of putting an end to her tears. Suddenly her vision cleared, suddenly the great lovely world before her came back into focus. Startled, she half rose, then sank back onto the grassy slope she had found to sit on. “You walk very quietly,” she said to the tall, wiry man who was standing un- der a spruce, looking at her. “Have you Indian blood im your veins?” (Te be continued) Uiuaciai U.S. Navy Phot LT.
