But Sybil pro- vokes him beyond all endurance And he takes her roughly in his arms, The telephone rings. Moore, to tell Sybil that sick. ! Sybil leaves John, protesting her | love for her baby, and telling him she never wants to see him again | When she reaches home, her | mother and Mabel and Valerie, her sister-in-law, are in tears. Some- thing talls her that Teddy has died. | NOW GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XLVII Sybil sat up on the bed. She pass- | cd her hand dazedly across her foreheud, and her eyes were wide with horror. Tad leaned over the footbourd. and | her mother sat bheride her chating her hands. Mabel was standing be- side Tad, and Valeric stood 'n the door with a hottle of brandy in her hand, and tears running down her pale echeeks. Her mother's cyes were red and swollen. Wildly Sybil searched their gricy ing faces, “He's dead,” she said. “My baby dead.” Mabel came and stood besire her, and touched her gently. “*Mab, do you remember this afternoon. . . . 8ybil raised dry, dreadful eyes| and looked at Mabel like a woman bereft of her senses. “You said—if you had—a child . like Teddy . . ." “ybil!

Mabel eringed. “Oh, don't.” she implored, ‘“say that dreadful word again'" “Did he scream, Mab? they know 7" “No, he didn’'t scream. Your mother was sewing in her room — there wasn’t a sonnd. They didn’t know until Val peeked in Teddy's room on her way to hed. She saw his crin empty—and—Teddy over at the window. She spoke to him first. The room was dark, of course.

And in the morning, pale and wrung, she listened paticntly to the doctor who t her she must not tax her strength, and that she should be brave for her mother" ke. She waited for the un- dertaker to have his dreadful heur with her darling dead. And. when he had taken his black ba and departed, she called to Tad, and an sery where Teddy lay in his littie crib. He looked like the Christ Child that lies in the mangers at Christ- mas time. The little wax Christ, as white as snow and dearer than beaven and all its angel “I think,” said Sybil. as she looked upon her child, “that would like to be alone, Tad— and I Let me kiss him first, Ted. Then you may kiss him. Kiss his cheek, Tad. . . . I'd like you to his lips for me. . . . Just for Tad . . . because he's my own little boy. And I can't ever Kiss him any more. . . ." All morning Sybil sat with her dead child. And her mother and Valerie and Tad stood at the closed door while she sang to him, and her song tore at their heart strings. By and by Mabel came with Jack, and they stole, too, to the nursery door . . . and turned awa: they could not beur to listen. Half the day Sybil hcld her son in her arms. And his little body grew warm wita the warmth of Fers, and his stiaight small arms and legs grew soft.
