Mcad à lo o fu r Had asked Mr. Carroll to explain why the woman bad been set to spy upon her every moment, a demand the wor thy lawyer could not well meet for the good and sufficient reason that he wasn't very clear about it himself. Then Hetty broke down and cried, confessing that she was eager to go to Mrs Wrandall. at the same time sob bing out something about a symbolic dicky-bird, much to Mr. Carroll's won der and perplexity. He sent the maid from the room, and retired with Miss Castleton to the Innermost of his private offices, where without much preamble he Informed her that he knew everything More over, Mr. Booth was in possession of all the facts and was even then on the point of starting for Europe to see her. Of course, his letter had failed to reach her in time. There was quite a tragic scene in tlie seclusion of tha’ remote little office during which Mr Carroll wiped his eyes and f 1 nose more than once, after which he took it upon himself to dispatch a mes senger to Sara with the word that hs and Miss Castleton would present themselves within half an hour after bis note had been delivered. . The meeting between Sara and Het ty was affecting. . . . Almost im mediately the former began to show the most singular signs of improve ment. She laughed and cried and jo y ously announced to the protesting nurse that bhe was feeling quite well again! And, In truth, she got up from the couch on which she reclined and insisted on being dressed for dinner. In another room the amazed nurse was frantically appealing to Mr. Carroll to let her send for the doctor, only to be confounded by his urbane announce ment that Mrs. Wrandall was as "right as a string” and. please God, she wouldn't need the services of doctor or nurse again for years to come. Then he asked the nurse If she had evefi heard of a disease called "nostalgia." She said she bad heard of home sicaness. "W ell, that's what ailed Mrs. Wran dall." he said. "Miss Castleton Is the cure." Booth came the next morning. . . . Even as she lay passive in his arms, Hetty denied him. Her arms were around his neck as she miserably whispered that she could not, would not be his wife, notwithstanding her love for him and his readiness to ac cept her as she w as. She was obdurate, lovingly, tenderly obdurate. He would have despaired but for Sara, to whom he afterwards appealed. “ W ait," was all that Sara had said, but he took heart. He was beginning to look upon her as a sorceress. A week ago he had felt sorry for her; his heart had been touched by her transparent misery. Today he Baw her In another light altogether; as tbs determined, resourceful, calculating woman who, having failed to attain a certain end, was now intensely, keenly interested In the development of an other o f a totally different nature. Ha coqjd not feel sorry for her today. Hetty deliberately had placed her self In their hands, withdrawing from the conference shortly before Vivian's arrival to give herself over to gloomy conjectures as to the future, not only for herself, but for the man she loved and the woman she worshiped with something of the fidelity of a beaten dog. oan—ir you aon t mina waning, it u a business conference they're hav ing-” An Ironic gleam appeared In the cor ner of Vivian# eye. "Oh," she said, and waited. Hetty smiled uncertain ly. All at once the tall American girl »a s Impressed by the wistful, almost humble look in the Englishwoman’s eyes, an appealing look that caused her to wonder not a little. Like a flash she jumped at an obvious conclusion, and almost caught her breath. This girl loved Booth and wa* losing him! Vivian exulted for a moment and then, with an impulse she could not quite catalogue, laid her hand on the other’s slim Angers, and murmured somewhat hazily: “ Never mind, never mind!” “ Oh. you must wait." cried Hetty, not at all In touch with the other’s mood. “ Sara expects to see you. The men will be out in a few minutes.” "I think I will run in tomorrow morning.” said Vivian hastily. 8he arose almost Immediately and again extended her hand. "So glad to see you back again. Mies Castleton. Come and see me. Give my love to Sara." She took her departure in some haste, and In her heart she was rejoic ing that she had not succeeded in ma king a fool of herself by confessing to Sara that she had said unkind things about her to Brandon Booth. Hetty resumed her seat In the broad French window and stared out over the barren treetope In the park. A frightened, pathetic droop returned to her lips. It had been there most of the day.
