OR. LUMLEY
'IS she badly hurt?" Alison put the
question to a woman with a bat
tered straw hat who was working
her way out of the front rank a fat
woman with a motherly face.
"Doctor in there says she's all
right." the woman replied promptly,
"but she's had a nasty knock, pore
little thing."
Alison squeezed forward a bit
she must get hold of Guy.
"Stand back there, please. Don't
keep crowding In." The policeman
swept his arm out like a barrier, re
peatlng his warning Impartially to
the whole ccowd. Alison, on the
other side of the blue, outstretched
arm tried to catch Guy's eye, but he
was busy, answering the questions
of the second policeman and he did
not even look towards her, though
she was a bare foot away.
"If you'd give me your name and
address, sir " The stub of pencil
and the fat notebook were In wait
ing. "My name's Lumley. Dr. Guy Lura
ley. And the address is care of Dr.
Dundas "
AliBon did not waft to hear more.
Guy Lumley. Daphne was rlghtl
She flung her head up blindly,
turned and pushed past the crowd,
round the first corner, conscious of
nothing except a sick longing to get
away quickly.
She walked so fast that she was
almost running aa she sped blindly
through the little dirty streets which
make a maze of Soho. Greasy-looking
loungers at the street corners
and blowsy women who went bare
headed In shawls stared at her as
she hurried past the low, grey, grimy
houses, the garlic-scented stores and
the eating-houses which wafted an
odor of cabbage and stale fat
A taxi hooted at her angrily to get
out of the road, a man with a barrow
load of flowers swore at her aa he
veered out of the way. Alison did not
hear either.
Walking with a loose-swinging
stride, her face white, her grey eyes
wide open and staring like those of
a sleepwalker, she went blindly with j
nothing In her mind but those bare
facts: Guy had boon telling lies.
lie was the man whom Daphne I
had called notorious, the doctor who
had lost his practice because of his
ways with womon, with girls.
Far down New Oxford Street,
near the turning to the British Mu
seum, she came out Into the tralho,
and, slRhtlng a tnxl, hailed It Climb
ing In, she ordered the driver to go
on driving until she told him to stop.
IT was long past five when Alison
got out at the house In Chester
Square, gave the taxi-driver a pound
note and let herself In.
She was calm enough now; much
too calm, Shu felt as though some
mainspring Inside her had broken,
at If nothing could ever matter, any
more.
She pulled her hat off and walked
straight Into the library.
They had finished tea. Daphne sat
on the sofa, curled up with six.
cushions stacked behind her head; j
Robert was standing by the fire
place, looking grave, a newspaper In
his hand. They both looked round aa
she came in.
She could not see herself; bad
made no effort to got tidy and could
not guess how distraught she looked
with her hat off, her hair on end, her
chocks stained with tears, her eyes
red-rimmed and dark In her small,
chalk-white face. She mma forward
and stood stiffly, addressing Daphne
like a person who recites a lesson.
"I'm sorry. I apologize for what I
aid. You were right He Is the man
you thought. I I won't ever see him
again!" With that she broke and
ran out of the room.
She was nearty at the top of the
front staira when fc.er father, flying
after her, caught her by the arm.
"AliBon? My dear, what's hap
pened?" She hacked out of hts grasp, said
In the snme stiff, hard voice, "Noth
ing. I Jtmt know, that's all."
She ran then to her room, would
have shut and locked the door but
he was too quick for her, had his
foot Inside and forced It open.

They are now morose and lonely,

they have lost their only baby.
Tho parent Joys displayed little wis
dom at the tHvlnntnff of their marltsl
relations. Tliey built their nest to
low In a lean and spare tree that it
was easily visible ani within reach
of a person of average helfiht Nor
was the neM. securely anchored, and
It slanted more and more until all
but one of the rolled out.
Shortly arter tiu remaining aa
hatched, the baby bird fell out of
the neni. too, and was saved only by
the sympath'tlc Intervention o(
neighbor whoa attention was direct
"No, let me In Alison dear, you
must listen!" As she gave way he
followed her Inside. "Listen, All
son he's been round here while 1
was out" And In a low and troubled
voice, "Child, you don't mean what
you said? You don't really mean you
you love the fellow?"
He was looking tired and worried,
at another time she might have
thought of him but now she backed
out of his reach and up against the
bed.
"Yes . . ." That In a whisper; then,
a quick passionate cry, "Yes! But
I'm not! I don't! He's just a common
liar! I don't ever want to see him
again. Oh!" She dropped on the bed,
her face hidden, her head rocking on
both arms as she crouched there
crying.
Her father looked down at her sob-
shaken shoulders, deeply troubled.
The door behind him opened and
Daphne came gliding softly In. She
did not speak; she looked from the
girl weeping on the bed to Robert,
a question In her eyes. He shrugged
bis shoulders.
"Alison, dear "
She threw off his hand violently.
"Can't you leave me alone?"
SHE sprang from the bed, ran with
averted face Into her bathroom
and shut the door. The two waiting
outside could hoar her splashing
water on her swollon face and the
slow, heavy sobs growing slower,
further apart, until they ceased.
Robert's eyebrows .signalled;
Daphne shook her head.
I shouldn't," she whispered. "Not
yet She's too upset Tell her after
dinner. Get her to take an aspirin
and make her lie down."
When Alison came out of the bath
room, her face laved and powdered,
she found her father alone nursing
a bottle of aspirin.
They were to dine early, at soven,
as they were all going on to a play.
By the time that Alison was dressed
for dinner In her newest, Btlff faille
dresB, with a huge bustle bow below
the slim waistline at the back, all
the traces of her storm were safely
hidden. '
Daphne had been hack to her flat
and had changed Into sleek mulberry
satin, the jpllt skirt lined to the
hem with turquoise blue; even Rob
ert, In his dinner jacket with his
grey moustache trimly flattened
down, seemed to have recovered.
As they sat down to dinner they
were all three dotormlned to make
the evening go smoothly.
"Have you docldcd whore to got"
she asked Daphne at the end of din
ner.
Thoy might have been three polite
strangers meeting.
"Why, yas. Wo've fixed every
thing."
Daplmo and Robert wero glancing
at each other across the table with
a congratulatory air. Alison could
read those mcsnngos without words
which said, "Good! Kho's come
round. She's going to he sensible,
It's all over."
She felt faintly amused. It was
very odd how nothing In the world
made any difference now. Tho Idea of
going to the Pyrenees, which had
appalled nor, simply did not matter
any more.
If Daphne wanted It, she would go
and would do her bost to make up
for that scene In the morning by
being pteasant. At least It would bo
better for her father than to have
them quarrelling, and If Daphne's
love for him was just a sham well,
was love ever anything else?
Robert was almost jovial, "it's go
ing to he delightful!" be announced.
"I got the apodal license today and
I've wired the hotel for rooms. I'd
actually fixed to sail for Madeira but
no one can s.iy that I'm not a good
fiance! I've cancelled tickets, every
thingfound the address of the
Spanish hotel and got rooms and
all at one day's notice! Only heaven
knows what they'll he like. Don't
blame me, Daphne. If you have to
live on dry bread and garlic."
"Don't worry," Daphne proniltied,
"I've not been there since I was a
