.,.,., uw;n xeruseq. ne oau seen
taken out to battle with the wlnda of
im worm nn me mineting watea o
greatness, and they bad been too m.uft
for her weakneaa. And now waa it
tP end like this? Had the frail, dell,

Be th latlby the guiding hand of
Jill dropped to her kntea and hid hr
face, i
Poor Kathy poor, poor little Kathy I
Though sho had married tho man ahe
loved, perhapa only JlU knew what a
disappointment to her that marriage
had. teen ; even the happiness of looking
forward to th coming of her child had
ocn overshadowed by the knowledge
that he would have to shore him with
ptherawpuld hove to give him up for
half hla life to the care of a nurse of
whom she waa alreadj afraid,
She had dreaded It so much.
"I shan't even be allowed to have
my own baby." 8q ahe had once sold
to Jill.
And now there would be no baby
ne had been robbed ot that Joy.
She looked at the white face on the
pillow with Its cloud of goldenThalv;
oh, it could not be trne that ahe wa
dying reallv dying I God would not
be o cruel! God would not tako her
away; aho wa so young all her life
waa beforo her. Jill hid her face
again, and a wild. Incoherent prayer
went up from her heart.
, "Oh, God, don't let her die don't
let her die!"
Ilalph Illllyard's remorse had touched
her too. She told herself that sho had
not been free from blame : that ahe had
been hard and unforgiving; that she
had cherished bitter thoughts against
this sister whom sho had onco adored.
To be given one more chance Just one
little chance how many agonized
hearts have asked that when they are
brought face to face with tho death ot
tome loved one!
The doctor was bending over Kathy
again: Jill watched him with bated
breath; but thero was nothing to bo
learned irora his grave race and after
a moment he turned and spoke to the
nurse. Jill Just caught his words.
' 'Hilly ard-r-wnere la he?"
She rose to her feet giddily. She
felt aa If her whole body had been
changed suddenly to Ice; she caught at
the bedrall to steady herself, and tor a
moment the wholo room seemed to be
whirling round ln n mad race.
All that followed was a nightmare
the moment when Ilalnh. white aa the
girl on the pillow, stumbled forward
and dropped down beside her the mo
menta of absolute silence interrupted
only by hla agonised sobbing and bla
broken crying of her name :
"Kathy, Kathy !"
For nighta and nights afterward JlU
could hear that henrt-broken cry; It
seemed to haunt her with its agony and
drive her mad with its despair.
But It reached the far-away con
sclousness of tho woman who loved him ;
It penetrated the clouds of weakness
that beat her down and out of tho
world and for one llttlo moment tho
white lids were lifted for one little
moment the flicker of a smile crossed
the delicate face ahe half made a
movement toward him.
"Darling!" Jill caught the ono
breathless word and the last look of
ineffable love thut filled her eyes as
they rested on her husband and then
a great wave from the ocean of lite
caught Kathy high on its crest and car
rled her away, away, safo into harbor.
CHAPTER XII
And thsr romoi mist and a drlvlnr rain,
And lift la navtr tha tamo attain.
The rain beat itself suddenly against
the window with a sharp rattle, and Jill
looked up from tho book she had vainly
been trying to read. Outsido, the street
looked wet and cheerless summer bad
gone Octobor winds had torn the
leaves from tho trees, and lett branches
bajo. and shivering beforo tho coming
of winter.
Two endless months sinco Katny j
died! two endless months since Jill I
heard tho sharp whir of tho telephone!
In thin varv rnnm. fniinmnnlntf her to I
her sister.
The world had teemed a queer place
since then sho wondered how It had
seemed to Ralph. She could not bear
to think of him to look back on those
first agonized days of his grief.
"Hiliyaru naa aged twenty years,
young Morredew said onvo to JlU.
"Poor fellow poor, dear old follow."
It was mitte true the loss of hla
wife bad (truck at tbe very root ot hla
life.
Tallentyre and ho were always to
gether, JlU knew; Tallentyre bad stood
by his friend loyally and saved Ralph
from utter despair. He had stayed with
him night and day, till tbe first awful
shock had passed.
She herself had seen him once or
twice since, but neither of them had
given a thought to their own affairs,
Hhe was sure life had completely
changed eincc Kathy died.
Since Kathy died! She heard the
words ho often, nnd they still seemed
ho empty to convey so little. Though
two months had passed, (the still found
herHdf thinking ,lI must tell Kathy this
thin will amuse Kathy." But Kathy
wus dead I
JlU rose to her feet and wandered
restlessly about the room; there waa
an odd sort of feverish excitement In
her veins, as If she hnd been told that
something of great importance waa
about to happen.
Hut what could happen now that
would matter ot all? hat could hap
pen now to give her either joy or hap
plncss again?
Rlgden and tho Despards she
thought of them ns ono thinks of char
acters In a book characters whom one
has never met In real life.
Itigdcn had tried many times tp see
her. but she had always refused. Kathy
hnd not liked him Kathy had asked
her to give him up
Jill thought of the night when fthe
and Rlgden nnd Tallentyre had all
dined at the Hlllyarda' of the song
Rlgden hnd sung then, to plenie Kathy.
A copy of It stood now on the piano,
nnd Jill went across the room and
turned Its pages absently:
Ut nlsht I w dramln; of the lova.
waa ilremln! ; , . ..
I dreamtd thou wert Uvln. my darllna, my
I clreNmed"thVt I hold thr one mora to
my brtaat'
The tears rushed to JlU'a eyes, and
blotted out tho words. To have her
back again for Just a day: Just an
hour! She stood quite still In the
silent room and pressed ber hands hard
oror ber cyea. ......
Some mQ tapped at the door.
"Will you see Mr. Hlllyard, please,
hVam?"
llilfyard -.nlled faintly as they touch-
ed hnnua.
"I haven't coma about myself this
time," he said. "Vou'vo been so good
I enn never thnnk jou enough for what
you'vo done. No, I know you don't want
ine to talk about It," he added, as
she tried to stop him. "Hut I must;
that's why 1 am hero. Jill, Isn't it
time you let mo do something for you
in return juat some araall return?"
