w nlllng for 'you."
"I am coming over Just as eooti as I
can. I've been delayed."
"How soon will you be here?"
"In ten minutes or so.'
Iluth hung up tho receiver and turnrd
, back to the living room. 'He'll bn over
dlteclly, mother. .Shall we wait din-
' nor'."'
"(if course, I suppose he's been detain
id by navy business In some way," Mrs.
i Itovvland returned, placidly i notigh.
lluth's forehead was wrinkled In a
i deep frown. "He sounded so strange,
though ns though something had hap
pened. And 1 believe that something
has happened, mother something to de
lay hltn. He must have met some one
on the way over "here."
"Nonsense, child ; don't let your Itntig
' Inatlon run riot. You did enough worry
I Ing when he went away the last time."
I f tilth did not answer, and .Mrs How
I land went out to speak to Martha about
dinner.
Tho little gold clock above the fire
place ticked the minutes away solemnly.
In eight minutes from the lime ituth
had talked to Jack across tho telephone
the dootbell rang, and she ran to open
It. It took her only a minute to see
that something serious bad happened
since that afternoon. Jack made no ef
fort to touch her, and em In the dusk
of the hall Iluth could sic that his face
was ravaged, as though by some very
strong emotlotu
".lack, what Is It? Tell me what has
happened."
He twisted, his hat In his hands nerv
ously, and, unconscious that hn still held
It. followed ltuth Into the living room.
There they faced cadi other.
"Something has happened." he said
slowly. "Something that explains a(
great deal something that I suspected
before I went away and thai 1 know Is
true now." There was a haggardness In
his face and a tone in his voice that '
gripped lluth's heart with an uncom
fortable ache. It was Hie first time
that she bad ever come In contact with
a strong man's agony and It was hor
rible to have to watch Jack and to feel
that she no longer had any power to
comfort him.
She sti. 1 in mute silence waiting for
him to go on Whatever It was that had
happened since that afternoon she felt
somehow that things were over between
them definitely. J
"Jack, .come into the den, where v.o
can bo alone." And ltuth led the way
Into a little loom off thu living room,
where she often entertained because it
was so much cosier.
He turned to her fiercely ns the door
closed behind th'in., "I want you lo an
swer my question truthfully, without
any pretense. It's the one thing you
can do now, am' jou owe It to me."

eyes met. 'llera were filled with tears;
his were hurt, the loot; of a man stung
to tho very soul looked out of them.
"You don't love me, do jou?"
An Instant denial of the charge leaped
to her llpst, the quick desire to spare
him hurt, the Instinct to nvold trouble,
lluth's old method of meeting the world,
her mother's Invariable sidestepping re
peated In her own nature. Hut she could
not He with that .look In Jack's eyes
searching her Inmost heart for the truth.
The time had come when she" must
face the question squarely. Something
hid happened to make It Impossible for
her to try to bluff It out any longer.
And yet how could she tell Jnck In blunt
words that she did not lovo him when
she had promised to mnrry hint, when
she had lain In his arms and felt his
kisses on Iter lls and had been glad of
them once, even though she loved them
for the kisses themselves rather than
because" they were th kisses of the man
she loved mora than any one In the
world?
Jack caught her bv the shoulders and
shook her. "Answer me," he said
loughly, "yes or no"
No, Jack," Iluth said bravely, her
I'ps quivering and tlie ttnrs splashing
over her lashes and running down her
( heeks.
Hn winced, even though he had known
the truth before.
"Jack, don't look like that, don't,"
Iluth sobbed desperately. "Oh, I don't
know how you discovered the truth. 1
nevlr meant to tell you, but I can't bear
to have you suffer because of me, I Just
an't bear It."
"You meant to go through with It all,
didn't you?" ho said bitterly. "You
were going to marry me pretending that
you loved me, letting me kiss you and
hold you In my arms, when your very
soul rebelled against It. HowN;ould you
Imagine I would have you that way?
Didn't you think I would guess the
(ruth?"
Iluth was sobbing quietly, but there
was no pity in Jack's face now. Tho
Plow had cotno too suddenly; he was.
suffering too keenly himself to think of
Iluth.
She turned to him suddenly, throwing'
out ner nanus to mm pleadingly. "Tell
me bow you discovered nil this," she
said passlotiutely. "Who told you?"
