Chapter IT
"UNTIL DATH DO US PART"
GAR war trowing more excited.
Kitty patted bis hand gontly.
, "Don't I know that? Now you
mustn't talk. The nurse will send
me away It you get tired."
"Well, hold my hand, anyway."
He was content with that.
She told him of her brief three days'
ity In Brldgewater; she saw that
her Tolce quieted him. In his eyes
sb saw that odd pleading that bad
been there when she'd accused him
of staying In Wlnton because be
did not want to leave Marge.
The nurse tiptoed In and out. Mr.
Frew came In and sat for a little
while In Kitty's chair, regarding
Gar with an anxious face.
He had greeted Kitty warmly,
with something like gratitude In his
manner.
"If yon need me, my dear, call
me. Will you go to the apartment?"
Bhe bad not thought of It. She
bad not thought of leaving Oar tor
ened, dismayed. The rlclous circle
was beginning again and she felt
herself slipping helplessly Into It
Another night In the bare, clean
room next to Oar's, another morn
ing, the night nurse yawning, Miss
Blxby coming in fresh, smiling, to
take her place. Breakfast on a lit
tle table close to Oar's bed. Doctor
Harrington examining bis patient,
Joking with him, teasing Kitty tor
her pale face. And then alone wltb
Gar, precious sweet moments, too
sweet to let In any apprehension
"Am I better, Kit?" Oar was like
a boy, wanting her assurance oyer
the doctor's. 4
"Oh, mucn."
"Kit, It I'm better I can talk.
There's something I want to get of
my mind"
She stroked his hair. "Not now,
sweetheart. We'll hare hours and
hours to talk."
"Do you love me?"
"Oh, Oar! Yes, yes." 1
"Well, I don't know why yon
should "
He was frowning. She had to kisi
It away, quickly.
He did not ask why his mothei
did not come. She exulted at that
even though she knew well she had
soon to reckon with her. She had
Oar to herself for a few days, al
least.
"Kvan If he dies,
he's mint!" ..
so much as an hour. But perhaps
they would not let her stay here
Her face betrayed her distress
and uncertainty. Mr. Frew patted
her shoulder. "I'll talk to the super
intendent. Perhaps she can arrange
for you to have a room here for a
night or two."
"Oh, than you!" Impulsively
Kitty lifted her Hps and kissed Dal
Hon Frew's strained, lined, tired
face.
She was established In the room
next to Gar's. At nine o'clock she
bade Gar goodnight and went to It
and to bed, at once. She slept
soundly, waking to daylight filter
Ing through the drawn shades. She
dressed and went back to Oar's
jroom where the night nurse greeted
Iter a little tlredly, Indifferently.
Miss Blxby came on duty at eight
o'clock, fresh, smiling.
"He had a line night. He'll be out
of here in no time, she assured
Kitty. She brought Kitty t) break
fast tray when she brought Oar's.
"You're lucky, Mrs. Frew.
There's a girl cornea to see the
other fellow and she raised all sorts
of a row downstairs last night be.
.cause the nurse made her go at
nine o'clock. They don't think he's
going to get well he was hurt in
ternally." I It had been Carol, of course,
who'd made the row. Kitty felt a
deep compassion for her and at the
same moment that disquieting re
luctance to admit Somerset's share
In Oar's accident Into her thoughts,
The day passed quietly; the doo
tor came and went. Oar was more
comfortable, more like his old self,
demanding that Kitty sit close to
him most of the time.
Mr. Frew came again and sat with
Gar, talking awkwardly, affection
ately for a little while. When he
moved to go he beckoned to Kitty
to follow him out to the hall.
"Has his mother told you, Kitty?
Doctor Harrington says that Oar
can be moved safely In a few daya.
She'a arranged for a hospital bed
at the house and two nurses." He
did not look at her. "It'll make
things easier for you, my dear, un
til he's up and around."
She did not utter the quick vehe
ment ptotost that sprang to her
lips. Bhe was not fighting this help
leas man.
But after he'd gone she leaned for
1 moment against the gray painted
wall of the corridor. She was fright-
Miss Blxby came in and touched
Kitty on the shoulder. "There's
some one outside who wants to
speak to you." , i ,
David, Kitty thought. She must
thank him tor meeting her though
she begrudged the moments away
from Oar. But it was Carol, waiting
outside, her eyes strangely gleam
ing, a little smile twisting her lips.
"Kitty, I need you." She spoke
quickly. She caught Kitty's arm
and drew her toward the opposite
door. "It won't take a minute.
There'a a minister In there he's
going to marry Paul and me." She
felt Kitty's shocked withdrawal. "I
wouldn't have it any other way!"
she said, low, fiercely, tightening
her hold on Kitty's arm. "Paul
wants it " A curious exultation
shone on her face. "Sren If be dies
he's mine!"
Kitty had no argument against
that She followed Carol into the
room behlne the closed door. Her
glance went slowly from the nurse
to a tail, slightly shabby man in a
clergyman's robes standing near the
window holding a prayer-book In
his hand, to an Interne, grinning
over his part In this strange cere
mony, and last, reluctantly, to the
figure on the bod. But Paul Somer
set's eyes did not meet hers. They
were fixed on Carol. A faint smile
lifted the corners of his lips. His
hand moved a little and Carol
took it.
"Until death do us part."
The words took on etrange signi
ficance, sounding here In these
walls that so often housed death.
Kitty shivered. But In Carol's firm
roles there was no tailoring, no
note of fear.
The nurse turned them all out
a little .brusquely. Out In the hall
the clergyman put book Into
Kitty's hand, bidding her sign her
name as a witness of the marriage.
The Interne, still grinning, signed
his. Carol put a bill Into the clergy
man's hand, muttered a quick thtnk
you and slipped back Into the room.
She had established her right there.
Kitty went back to Oar, shaken.
troubled, close to tears.
"Do you think Paul Somerset
the other man has any chanee?"
she asked Miss Blxby at her first
opportunity.
