which briefly announced the mnxritiBe of

Immediately. Ite went te June'ii heube
by tiixl, and startled her by crying
lit:
"It's ceme."
"What?" she ashed In amazement.
"The damned outsider Ashton has
been married In Paris. Yeu must tret

June, quick te comprehend as usual,

After he had cone, she- told Ksther
that she had been called te the country

When she was alone In hfr room.

Micl.i mrried mrlv the next day

He slewed the car n llttle.
"There'n another car outside vhat

It would be rather nice," Esther
Admitted She was feeling cold; she
was rather r.lad when tbe car stepped
Till Micky keve her his hand

He pulled off his gloves nnd dragged

When they had finished Micky went
e jt te start the car
The two men behind IVther were
talking together, one of them was
laughing n geed deal In a sneering way.
"She must be h, feel, you knew," he

t'le elder one said jnwninif. "There's

Outside In the read Mlckv suddenly
started up the engine of Ids enr The
1 ill throb came faintly te Esther an
she snt there as motlenlfts as If nhe
hnd been carved In stone.
Tb llttb vibrant noise sounded llke

J She put out her hands te the flames
"flood heavens' what are you delni-'"
said Mlckv's voice at her shoulder She
jhnd net heard him corns Inte the room
it was only when he bent and cuiitrht
jher hund bsck from the flames that she
JrenlUed what she had been going te de.
fShe looked up at him with a sick smile
"I thought t wen dnt bum." st

; anxiously,
sua dragged her hand frta of Ills,
she remernhrrnd thst he. tee. had hated
Raymond; ther he, tee, weutd ba glad
when he knew of this nlghtmare that
had suddenly swooped down upon her.
She rose te her feet, holding faet te
inc cnniruacK 10 sieauy iicrecu.
"There Isn't anything the matter, but
I should like te go home I'm tired,
that's all; I'm only tired."
She moved away te the deer! the
cold air beating en-lier face gave her
11 grip of herself again ; she steed for
a moment looking down the deserted
street, her hands clenched.
The ether car with Its two occupant
had vanished down the read some min
utes since : only a small cloud of gray
dust en the' horUen showed which way;
they had gene.
Mickey drove back faster than hi
had come ; enci or twice he looked down
at Esther with an anxious pucuer bo be
tween his eves
What had hnDneneil In these few
minutes te make this sudden change?
he wondered
She had been happy and smiling
enough this morning : new nil that he
could see of her face, half hidden In
the big upstanding cellar of the coat
he had given her, were two piteous blue
eyes staring steadily ahead or tier newn
the read.
When they reached Enmore, Esther
cot out of the car without waiting for
him, and went en Inte the house.
After n moment Mlckv followed.
Ksther wnn In the hall. She turned
te him Impatiently.
"Kvery one Is out," she said. "MIjb
Dnrllng nnd June are lieth 'out. '
There wns a sort of strain In her
voice which Micky could net under
stand; she looked as If she had had
some bad shock, he thought, nnd yet
what could hnve hnppcned? He had
net left her for mero than a few mln.
utes.
"Very well. I won't wait." he tald
formally. lie speke curtly, he felt sere

It was Impossible, for him te guess tht
upstairs In the room ever the perch
Ksther had shut and locked the deer
and wan pacing un and down the room,
her hands pressed hard against her
ees, sobbing great tenrlesa sobs that
seemed te rend her verv heart.
"It's net true .It's net true," she said
ever and ever ngaln under her breath.

The etrlhlng of a church clock In the

She dphhed her eyes with htr hand-
iicrcniei , tney fell net and burning; rile
loelnd nt herself anxiously In the little
mirror such a white face ; oho turned
away impatiently.
Twelve o'clock; there was n train up
te town nt half-past, she knew. The
confusion In her hrnln seemed te have
passed nil at ence ; she felt qulle calm
and clear
Hhe would go te Paris she would ere
Itayniend and hear from his own lips
what n lle It vne. Hlie ought te have
gene before ; she had been a feel te lis

She put 11 few things Inte a bag; she
ieic the last letter she had had from
Itayniend. and kissed It before, thrusting
It back into her dreij. She scribbled a
Pencil netu te June and fastened It
te tne pincusmen.
