l-ON'T bother with thanks," the
; stranger returned. T didn't
know there was a girl left who would
admit that she didn't do ererythlng
properly."
Another slap In the face. What an
odious man!
She could not help looking at him.
as he sat In his corner, reading. He
held the paper In a curious way, far
from his eyes. So she could see his
face.
It was an unusual face, cast In a
rough mould, though lean. The brow
square and rugged; the nose bold,
with a slight upward tilt; the mouth
long, firm, angry-looking.
But his eyes gave her a little shock
when, accidentally, she caught his
direct gaze. They were the strangest
going to pieces. Women running the
country women In Parliament,
swimming the Channel, winning the
King's Cup. racing at Drooklands!"
Really, he was Impossible! Laurie
gave him a sarcastic look, and
laughed coldly.
"You don't seem to like women."
-'Don't know much about them,"
he said, and, meeting her blue eyes,
his own strange pale ones lit up
with an unexpected smile. "Dare
say they're all right In their place.
But not running the country and
setting the pace."
That smile gave Laurie anothor
shock. It was only In his eyes, not
on his lips, and lust as If a bright
light had been lit behind them. It
was mocking, challenging, but It was
human, which, up till then, he had
not seemed to be.
"You prefer living abroad?" she
asked rather stiffly.
"I've had no choice lately. No, I
don't prefer It. I think the whole
world's a pretty rotten place."
OU seem to have a grudge
1 against all ' the world," re
marked Laurie, ruffled, although she
did not realize It, by the fact that
he did not take the slightest In
terest in herself.
"I guess I have," he replied curt
ly. "You aee, I've only Just lately

eyes she had ever seen. Light, clear
eyes, grey, startling In his deeply
tanned face. Steel grey she thought
at fir fit, but when he looked up they
seemed almost white, like snow with
a shadow on it,
Htit hair was dark brown, growing
SQuaroly back from his forehead, and
was rather untidy.
1 His face went with his manner,
Laurie thought A pity he was such a
boor. It might be quite a nice face.
Especially when his eyes were bent
down on his paper, and his thick
dark lashos shadowed the high cheek
bones, It looked as if It might be a
very nice face. But he evidently had
a horrid disposition.
Presently he put down his news
paper and got un.
"I'm going t have some tea," he
said. "Would you like some?"
"No, thank you." answered Laurie,
on her dignity.
"But don't you want anyT You
were trying to buy a tea basket!"
"I know. But I don't want any
now." She emphasized the last word.
"All right!" He slipped off his
overcoat and went out.
He was tall. His figure expressed
abstract qualities, as his face did.
Ills mouth was angry. Ills broad
shoulders were Impatient. Ills
clothes were very shabby and looked
foreign. She supposed he was a
traveller from abroad.
CKVERAL people passed going to
the dining car. Laurie was dy
ing for a cup of tea. But pride for
bade it The man had asked her and
she had refused.
She could not help getting up and
looking at his suitcases. But thero
was no name on them, not even a
label with his destination.
Ho enme back.
"Tastes good, one's first cup of
English toa!" he said In the same
abrupt, Impersonal way. "About the
only thing that hasn't changed in
the old country, I expect."
1 Laurie resented his manner so
much that she tried to prevent her
self from answering. But her Interest
wns too strong.
"Have you been away from Eng
land long?" she asked.
"Ages since I wos home. It was
bad enough last time. Everything

recovered my sight. I've been blind
for for a long time."
"Oh!" Sho melted Instinctively.
"I'm sorry. That must have been
dreadful. But nron't you glad that
you've got your Blht back? I should
think that would nmko you like th
world."
"I'm an ungrateful devil, I sup
pose. I grudge the time when 1
couldn't seo -the waste! You don'l
know what It's like to be helpless,
nil In the dark, not to be able to
move, when you're used to an actlvi
life."
"Of course, it must have been aw
ful for you," Laurie assented. It wai
as If an Invisible wire were stretched
botween them, and on It a tiny tone
had been Btruck that rang with an
unknown but plensant sound. "Are
you quite cured?" sho added gently.
"They say so. It wns a kind ol
norvouB trouble. FUit who knows!
It may come hack."
"You mustn't think so." Thers
seemed to bo nothing more to say.
IIo took up his paper again, and
Laurie, overcome by a sutiden shy
ness in his presence, decided that,
after all, she would go and have a
cup of tea.
The trail was rushing through the
Northern suhuftis. In a few minutes
they would bo It, St. Pnncras. and
the great world of London would
swallow them both up.
Laurie had lingered over her tea
as long ns possible. When sho camo
back, her fellow traveller was In the
corridor, smoking a clgaret that
smelt very nice.
Ho stayed there for some time,
and when he entered the carriage
again, Laurie was gathering her
things together.
"funny, Isn't it," he said In the
same abrupt way, "when I was blind
I didn't caro about smoking a bit?"
"Yes. very strange," sho agreed.
She could not understand why, as
he so obviously disapproved of his
fellow creatures, and particularly of
her sex, ho should take the trouble
to talk to her at alt.
Sho looked up and found his eyos
fixed on hor with an Intent, pene
trating glance.
