"Darid, we were angry with one another when 1 went away! 1 said horrible things, Darld. I'll never forget them. I told him I wasn't coming back from Bridgewater, that it was all a mistake, a bad business. Just as you'd said. Vou didn't hare any right to say that to me, David, for me to remember, to say It to Gar!" She dragged her hand from bis bold, she leaned away from him, tears streaming down ber face. "If be dies before 1 have a chance to tell him that 1 didn't mean that ' "You can tell him. He Isn't go ing to die," David retorted grimly. . "I failed him," Kitty added, mis erably, "just when he needed me most." , David offered no comment. They rode In silence until the car turned into the drivo of the hospital grounds. He touched Kitty's arm as she hurried ahead. . "There are some regulations,. you know." To Kitty it seemed an endless 'interval of stupid questioning and answering before she was admitted to the room where Gar lay. Why, she was his wife! David left her at the door ot the ' room. She did not know It; she had forgotten his existence. She saw' only Gar's dark head against the flat pillow of the high hospital bed. ; "Gar!" And then a tall figure came be tween her and Gar. She faced Mrs. Frew. "You cannot disturb him now," Mrs. Frew said in a low cold tone. "Who let you in? You must go away." Kitty stood, balked. For a mo ment she saw the older woman's faco stripped of its mask; hatred, consuming Jealousy, triumph -'was on It. She faltered before It, drew back a little uncertainly,. frightened. And seeing that, Mrs. Frew smiled. "Kitty!" It was Gar, calling in a half-moan. Kitty pushed Mrs. Frew roughly out of her way. She dropped at the side ot the bed. put her cheek against Gar's hand where It lay on the white sheet. "Gar, darling. It's Kitty. I'm here." "I thought you wouldn't come!" Ho drew a fretful sigh, tils lingers moved, caught in her hair, feebly stroked it. "I cams as far as I could, dar ling." "You won't go, sweet? You won't go now?" "No, Car." She heard a rustling of skirts, whispering, a door closing and gave no heed. "You mustn't let him talk, Mrs. Frew," a competent, friendly voice said over her shoulder and she nod ded her head. As If she didn't know that Gar must be kept very quiet! Wheu a doctor came in the room she rose to her feet and moved to the window but she did uot take her eyes from Gar. "Doing very nicely,' was the doc tor's verdict. He looked at Kltly and Bmllod. "He'll get along fast, now that you're hero." It seemed to establish her right In t ho room. The nurse rouccded It to her w ith a sympathetic look. "Wo wore pretty worried this time yestordny." she whispered to Kitty. "We didn't know, you see You were out ot town? He called for you, first minute he know any thing." Kitty had gone to the bed again, knelt there, ber hand holding Gar's. The nurse pushed a chair up to the bedside.

The hurry, the concerned faces ot ber father and mother, Phil saying he'd drive her over to Albany, and then the endless hours ot the night, the torture ot uncertainty. "Oh. Garf" She pat her bands out to him In an expressive little ges ture of longing. Every word ot that night's quar rel came back to her. to hay ber. She'd goaded him to say things be didn't mean; she said things she dldo't mean. They'd insulted one another, hurt one another. He'd dung himself out of the house and she'd locked the door ot the bed room. And the next day she'd gone to Bridgewater without seeing btm. "The room next Is empty, Mrs. Frew. Why don't you take a nap? I'll call you when he wakens." The nurse had come In. "I know how you feel,", she went on. In her half-whisper. "But he's all right and you don't want to be sick yourself. When he's better he's going to bo awful fussy bis shoulder and ankle, you see." Reluctantly Kitty yielded and let the nurse take her to the adjoining room. It was cool and wlii: and quiet; though she thought she conld not sleep, in a few minutes she was sleeping on the narrow bed.

She must go to Bridgewater, talk to Sally about taking things so seri ously Then, fully aroused, sho sprang out ot bed, alarmed. That nurse should have called her! Perhaps Gar needed her. She rushed out Into the corridor and there stopped, short, facing Carol. "Gar?" she asked, trlghtened. Carol shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, I guess he's all right, 1 don't know " She was moving toward a door across from Gar's. Her man ner said plainly that he presence heri. had nothing to do with Gar. She was carrying a long box of flow ers in uer arms. I suppose you know Marge Cros by's gone?" And witb that she opened the door she sought and closed it softly behind her. Paul Somerset she'd gone In to him. ot course. The brief lines she had read in the paper, crushed In her fingers, came back to Kitty. The exultation that had edged Car ol's voice struck her with sickening meaning. Carol expected that she, too, must rejoice at Marge's going! The old fear assailed her as she opened Gar's door. The nurso was carefully putting pillow under Gar's bead and be was muttering crossly under ber ministrations. But when he saw Kitty his face cleared. "I told him it was a shame to wake you up, Mrs. Frew, you were sleeping so soundly. I peeked In. And he almost took my head off " "Can he talk now?" "A little. But you mustn't let him get excited or move around. You see they haven't got his shoulder In cast yet. To-morrow, maybe. I tell him he's a lot luckier than that other poor fellow they brought In with blm " But Kitty's arms had sirpped around Gar; her face was against his. Neither of them heard what the nurse said, or cared. She went out. "Kitty, you haveu't told mo " "I love you. Gar, and more to morrow and more the next day " "Kitty, I didn't mean the other night." "I know, Gar, I know you dldn'L I didn't, either. I hate myself tor what I said." "1 don't suppose it would make me any worse if you kissed me, the way " Sho put her lips on his.
