Ha felt Ilk lushing In ber
face. Lore! Why, the woman had
been merely fiercely possessive.
Her passion bad been nothing
mora than an Inaana desire to
keep what belonged to ber. And
he gave her credit for being in
love. Ha thought ha could hurt
her. punish her. through her af
fections.
Ha felt ba had bean cruelly
mocked, for ha bad been in a con
itant struggle to suppress his de-
ire 10 yorgive ner.
Ha thought now ot the soft
memoriae of her that bad crept
apon blm In the night and threat

rotten thing aha did. Ha waa glad
ha had baniabed tbem with firm
ness. Hip common aensa had told
him that he could never reaped
her again, even thongh ha had to
go on loving her to the end.
And now. after all tbla battling

It wasn't love that had brought
her back, trying to re-establiah

Then be aald. sobering: "Perhaps

He seemed to thrust the ques

She sodded.
"Then yon thought 1 was bluff

Again Natalie nodded.
Alan hesitated. He lost his de

Natalia did not cry out. but
this time It was not disbelief that
