And now the end had come. Some- where in the awful lSuropean heli Jack was lying stark, probably un- buried—I shivered as the horror of the thought struck me—and the princely gift he had. left me was only waiting for my hands to take it. But I knew as well as if he had spoken the words that Dicky was ut- opposed to my receiving this gift at the hands of my brother-cousin :n though those hands were stiff death on a distant battlefleld. 1f my nerves had not been taut like violin strings I shouid never have made the mistake of speaking to Dicky concerning the money when T knew that he was still chafing under i the wild idea that Jack Bickett meant more to me, dead, than he, my hus. | i band ,had meant to me living.

I am perfectly all right now, so you run along to bed there's a good boy. I'll see you in the morn- ing.” To my surprise and relief Dicky made no opposition to my proposal. He kissed me good-night, tucked me up warmly, opened the window, saw that my flashlight was within easy reach under my pillow, and, turning out the electric lamp, went quietly out of the room. ; 1 lay awake for hours debating the problem which had come to me. I saw clearly that Dicky did not wish me to take this bequest of Jack's. In- deed, T knew that he expected me ta refuse it, and that he would be bit- | My heart was hot with rebellion. Tt r scemed like a profanation of Jack’s last wish, like hurling a gift into the face of the dead, to do as Dicky wished.

Because my love for Dicky had swept me off my feet T had married him without waiting for Jack to come home from the wilds of South Ameri- ca, where he had gone after wmy mother's death. To do me justice I had not dreamed then that Jack cared for me in any other fushion than that of the brother, whom I hurd never had, and whose place he had always taken.

And yet—Dicky was my husband. 1.had sworn to love and honor him. 1 knew that he felt sincerely, how- ever, wrongly, that my acctptance of Jack's gift would be a direct slap at him. T felt as if my heart were be- ing torn in two, with my desire to de justice hoth to the living dead. It was not until near light that the solution of my prob- lem came to me. Then I fell asleep exhausted, and did not awaken until Dicky came into the room dressed for the journey which he took daily to the city. ‘ “I Shall Not Forget.” “I wouldn't disturb he said, “only it's time for me to go in to the studio, and I did not want to ieave you without knowing how you are.” “Oh, have I slept so turned, contritely, springing bed. “Lie still” me you, sweet- I re- in late?” up he commanded gentl “Katie will bring you up some break- . fast shortly, and there is mo need of vour getting up for hours.” He bent down to kiss me good-by There was a restraint in both his voic and his caress that told me he was still thinking of the conversation of the night before.
