The lights were low, and no sereeching violin or tinkling pianoe dis- decorated room. “Funny I never met your wife, | Fred. You and I were such chums m the old days before you went across.

God! if I had only known it then. She was employed as a nurse at the hospital and it was she that brought me back to life. And it was then that I committed the greatest folly of a foolish life. I had money and she enjoyed the little luxuries of when I got mixed up with a young| life that my money could buy, but that she could not afford to get with together—too happy, I know now; such happiness brother had suspicions, and confront. Ing us one night in a small resort, whence we had gone to hear the o chestral concert, he openly accused us. She, frightened, would not lle, but confessed to him, trying to take the blame on herself.” Caverly’s face was white and his eyea shone; the corners of his mouth twitched nervously. With a shaking hand ho reached for his glass and took tha drink at a gulp. | *“Thers was hell in the man’s eyes,” he continued, twisting the glass in his fingers, “a3 with an awful oath he| drew 2 razor from his pecket and slashed ma2 across the throat.” Cuv- erly’s fingers caressed his neck ner- vously, and Hastings shuddered at his fricnd's unconscious action. “And then,” continued Caverly, “leaving mo where I had fallen, he turned on his sister, and although with a powerful effort I dragged myself to my fect, [ was unable to prevent him from uzing his weapon on her. She did not die, I learned that later—I was in a state of semi-consciousness for nearly six | weeks, but when I returned she could not be found. The youth had shot' himselt later.
