While Gar alept, Kitty, sitting beside htm, pondered on the conse quences ot Carol's marriage. It Paul Someraet lived, would she re gret ltt No ahe knew Carol well enough, now, to anawer that Hap piness of any sort, the simple (act of belonging to some one, would make Carol over. Gar stirred In his sleer. muttered, His brows drew sharply together. Hla face had thinned, lost lta boy ishness. Kitty noticed little lines about his month. For a moment she was all maternal, leaning to ward him, yearning oyer him. And then a great anger mounted In ber heart against-the woman who was bis mother; every weakne-.s in Gar ah, she knew them, now was of that mother's making. "And I almost failed hlmt" He turned bis head slowly. Kitty saw little terror In bis eyes. "I guess I waa dreaming. thought you'd gone I" He clung to her hand. She stroked his hands, his face, his hair. She kissed him. His voice lifted, excitedly. "Kitty, I've got to tell you" "Gar, darling, you don't need to tell me anything now. Walt" "I dont want to we.lL I want yon to know. It'll bother me until you do. But, Kit, you're got to help me get It straight." She held bla band In both of hers to give herself courage, as well as to steady him. Gar had turned hla face away from her. She had to lean closer to him to catch bla low, baiting Tolee. "I dont know how I got started, Kit. I do know this I loved you all the time. Marge was alwaya getting me-np to her house about one thing and another. And ahe began talking about going away- staying away It sort ot got me. I'd always liked her a lot We'd been well, you see, before I met you I alwaya thought ah was the only girl." "Gar, I understand He shook bis bead, bla face still averted from hers. "It was all right until I began lying to you about where I'd been. I hated It but I waa afraid to tell you, It was easier to let you think I wits at rehearsals. It was so easy God, Kit, guess I'm a rotter." "Gar, Gar, sleose" Kitty's bands (hook over his. "Marge told me ah waa going way because because of us," He waa silent for an Interval And Kitty's throat went dry and stilt o that ahe could say no word. "She waa I thought ahe waa terribly unhappy. It bothered me lot. I kissed her oh, sort of off-hand. And after that things were differ enL She said she didn't care what bappenod. And there waa Somer aet. She told me ahe might run away with him. That got me. Kit, am I making you see?" "Yes, Gar." - "That night when we quarreled o I went home. I told mother we were through, you and I. You'd aald ao, Kit. And I was I guess I waa crasy. Mother waa wonder ful she waa ao calm. She told me you see Marge had told her how things were K1L I can't believe IL now. We talked about my getting a divorce. Marrying Marge. And the next day Marge called me she wanted me to come over to say good-by And we talked She asked me to go to Paris she asked me to meet her there she said It I didn't she would I didn't say I'd go, K1L Believe me. But I felt desperate. I thought I'd lost you. And, when I wouldn't promise. Marge got angry. She told me she waa going to run off with Somer set. She called me later from tbe Rainbow Gardene ehe'a gone there with him she called me to say Well, It got me. It was after mid night I drove out there and I told ber I'd come tor ber. We got Into my car nd Somerset followed us In hers. Ho was mad, I don't know Just what happened he trlod to stop me and the cars sldeswlpcd and that's all- Gar's halting voloe finished on a long fretful sigh." Kitty was shaking.

FREW ABBO TT who had schemed so to play on bla heedlessness. "I won't fall you, I won't fall you!" ber heart waa crying while her llpa kept their stiff silence. Gar drew bis hand from here. "Did you get It straight, KltT I loved you all the time. But 1 guess It doesn't matter, now. I guess, now that you know, your're through." But, Gar, I'm not I'm not We're Just beginning. We're Just know ing one another now. We're to gether!" His head turned slowly. There were tears In hla eyes and a boyish unbelief. She laughed shakily, put ber Hps to bis. "Oh, Gar, that we should bare been afraid of one another! There were thlnga I didn't tell you be cause I waa afraid, little things that didn't matter. I was seeing David often, and hla friends, and Carol and I waa afraid to tell you because you wouldn't understand. And I waa too critical and oh, Gar, we were Just stumbling! And we love one another ao " Her teara wet hla face; her llpa clung to bla. "Kit" bis voice waa scarcely above a whisper, "Kit, I swear to God that I'm going to be worthy ot you.

"Kit, did did Somerset Marge?" "Marge wasn't hurt. Oar. She's gone away, with her mother. And Somerset they don't know, yet." She could not risk telling him of Carol's and Somerset's marriage. "Poor devil I hope he gets out of IL" Gar's brows drew together, "Kit I think Marge used him. I don't think she Intended for a min ute going oft with him." Kitty dropped her eyea to conceal her satisfaction. That Gar, now, should see that! Oh, he had come to wisdom. The afternoon wore on, drowsily. Mlsa Blxby found an opportunity to tell Kitty that the "other fellow" had stood the operation better than the doctora had expected. At four o'clock Mrs. Frew cam In with Doctor Harrington. She smiled sweetly at Kitty. "Aren't you exhausting yourself, my dear?" She kissed Gars forehead. She waa composed, gracious, charming. Do you think by tomorrow he can be mored. Doctor?" ahe aaked when he had examined Gar. If hla chart shows another good night. With a nurse" Tbe doe tor looked at Mlsa Blxby. "I have asked Miss Blxby If she'll come to the house. And I will take a night nurse, too." 'I don't see any reason for him to stay here," the doctor affirmed. Oar's glance went queetlonlngiy to hla mother. "What's It all about!" "I am taking you home, deal boy." She beamed fondly down at him. Gar smiled, boyishly. "Home? That'd be great to get out ot here. But" his glance sought out Kitty where she stood, straight, sober-faced, behind the othors. "It's all up to Kltl She's my boss, you know. What say, Kit?" Sweet words they flooded her. She took a little step forward. Sh did not look at Mrs. Frew. We'll do whatever will make you most comfortable, Gar. I think It will be nice If ye can go to your mother's house until you're all well." She waa clean awept with a great Joy. She wasn't afraid! She shared Oar'a boyish eager ness. They talked after Mrs. Frew and the doctor went away. "You'll stick close to me, won't you, sweet?" She promised. She left him at nine o'clock and went to the next room. She lay for awhile on the narrow bed, think ing over all that the day had brought Carol's strange marriage.
