Sylvia Arnaud came out Into the
clearing. She was still singing— a lit
tle louder than before, as If In defiance
of a reawakening dread—and in the
sudden hush her voice sounded luringly
sweet.
“ As well as can be expected There
was considerable loss o f blood follow

“ Next week I am taking a fresh

“ Undoubtedly— i f be is not sent back

His expression was signifi

"All, good moruiugl Well, 1 shall

give further orders. The culprit you
can leave to me. Sit down, won’t you,
Arnaud?”
The young officer remained standing.
He returned the doctor’s greeting me
chanically and his features were blank.
As tbe door closed Colonel Destlnn
threw down bis pencil aud their eyes
met.
"S it down.”
This time Arnaud obeyed. Tbe elder
man bent forward with his chin rest

God knows what would

and wuited for them to make up their

laugh. He came forward aud accepted
the responsibility. You understand—

for him and he went out. It was all

"I paid. It was true— my w ife's Ideal

The dry cracked voice broke off.
Arnaud staggered to bis feet, bis bands
outstretched In a movement o f tragic
resignation. “ That is my explanation.

Colonel Destlnn did not move. In
