dpddad THIS HAS HAPPENED ! Sybil Thorne, recently widowed, and involved In many scandals, is experiencing the biggest thrill of Rer life. And Bybil—as usual — I8 playing with fire. For 10 years she has mourned, as dead, John Lawrence, her child- hood sweetheart. In the apartment of her dearest friend, Mabel Moore, she mects him—back from the | grave. The reunion is dramatic and harrowing. John Lawrence has been & victim of amnesia. Until he saw Sybil, his mind had been a total blank since the dreadful day they carried him from a battlefield In France. Following his discharge from the Walter Reed Hospital, he began an | entirely new life. Having forgotten | his own name, he ook a new one— Roger Caldwell. Kitty Burns. He and Kitty are about to be married—but now there is Bybil! The girls are totally different. Kitty is very young, and innocent and sweet—as Sybil was 10 years 8go. And Sybil is a charming sopms.j ticate. A little hard, maybe, spark- | ling and polished, and very charm- Ing. She goes to John's apartment, de- Bpite the pleas of her good friend, Dlabel Moore, who warns her that | Bny resumption of a 10-year-old ro- | mance is apt to be a failure. Mabel reminds her, too, that John has a fiancee now-—and begs her also to think of Teddy.

I'm going hom to Teddy. 1 never want to see you again.” She dabbed at her eyes with the hack of her wrist, childishly. “Goodby,” she said, “goodby." The house was lighted from to;- to hottom. Mabel’s car in front, and Valerie's and another with a doc- tor's cross. Mrs. Thorne was in the hall, red- eved and trembling, fidgeting with things on the table. When she @w Sybil, her face contracted so that it looked like an ugly mask. and she gave a little moan like an ant- mal suffering. The place smelled of doctors. Sybil experienced a strange feel- ing of physical detachment, as ir something had suddenly left her body. She took off her coat, ana moved toward the stairs. She knew that she was curiously quiet —and wondered why she did not scream and ery. She heard her mother “She doesn’t know.” And still she stood there; at the toot of the stairs. Tad was on the upstairs with a white-haired man. They came toward her, and the white. haired man took her hands, and murmured. Then Mabel came down the hall, and flew to her, and put her arms around her and kissed her. Tad drew her close when Mabel let her go. And then every- one was very quiet for a moment. only looking at hor. “T know," she told them. “Teddy is dead.” The white-haired man, who had disappeared in the bathroom, ap- proached her with a glass, “A sedative,” he announced pro- fessionally. “Just drink this, and you'll feel better.” Impatiently she waved him aside. How foolish — all this fuss. As if sedatives amounted to anything when Teddy was dead. She put her foot on the lowest stair, and found it was heavy, so that it was an ef- fort to move it. Then she placed her hand on the railing, and mounted awkwardly like an old woman They suffered her to ascend half way. keeping so quiet that she felt like a performer. phone, and and her she said receiver coat. whisper, 1anding JUST KIDS drank brandy She was suffocating now.

She was glad she had hela his hand untl he went to sleep. Sometimes she left him alone in the dark. Poor baby—aill alone— in the dark. “Teddy! Teddv!" Tad caught her when screamed, and carried her to the bed in her mather's room. They rubbed her hands and feet, and she to please them, and afterwards, the doctor's foolish sedative. Vague, despairing hope came then to rack her tortured brain. ‘Perhaps he ISN'T dead. Are vou SURE he's dead? It may be a mistake. Who said he was dead? Let me see him. I want to see him. You can’t keep me from him—my little hoy! Tedly! Teddy! It's a lie! He ISN'T dead—TI tell yon he tsn’t dead. T won't believe it. Tad —Tad, tell me he isn't dead. Val— Mother! Mab!
