She leaned toward ‘him; her other arm stole around his neck. “But I don’t want him to come back!" she cried. Dominey sat fer a moment motionless, like a figure of stone.

There is something which you will have to be told—something with which I never reckoned, something which is beginning to weigh upon me night and day. Trust me, Rosa- mund, and wait!” She sank back tn her chair with a piquant and yet pathetic little grim- ace. “You tell me always to wait,” she complained. “I will be patient, but you shall tell me this.

HERE was matic, in the most lurid sense of the word, about the brief telephone message which Dominey received, not so many hours later, from Carlton House Terrace. In a few minutes he was moving through the streets, stHil familiar, yet already curiously changed.
