CHAPTER X TARY CARROLL ihuddercd ' she took out the letter, with Annas piss port inside it She felt if lha were tres passing when sho unfolded the page and began to read the neat, carefully margined letter. To Whom it May Concern: Today I mad a last attempt to volunteer tnu services to Enoland. There if no use in truing any longer. Doctor told me I have an incurable heart condition. I'm poinjp to the State$ aoaln inhere I can at least uwrle and fend money home to England to help my country at war. X write thie in full knowledge I may never reach the statee, I have nothing to lose. My other, Private William Wintert, toaa killed in Franc in the World War. My mother died in the epidemic, leaving me to oe brought up in a home for war orphan. When my few affair are fettled here I f hall tay pood' bye to my Bournemouth friend and come to London to await eailina. My only relative if my Uncle Douplat Winters whom I have never seen. He lives in Canada. I enclose his address and ask he be notified in cars of accident. Anna Winters. Slowly the letter loosened In Mary's hands. The tears she had been too overwrought to shed, trickled down her twisted face. a TV7HEN Mary next opened her " eyes, morning sun had pierced the London fog and was sifting like irrldescent dust through the windows. A nurse stepped up to Mary a side. "IH bathe you and bring yon wrapper," she said. "Then how bout a sip of hot tea? Dr. Lenox gave orders you were to have a tray this morning. In another day or two, he's going to let you sit up. My, Miss Winters, he's cer tainly relieved that you're back in the land of the living again. Gilbert Lenox fights for his pa tients." Unnotldng. Mary Carroll began to slip into the hospital routine. Finally she became accustomed to hearing herself called by An na's name. Strength slowly re turning to her, she accepted her late with resignation. Days passed and soon she was op, taking walks in the ward and going to the sunpbrch. One by ions, the refugees who'd survived jthe Moravia disaster, were being Ulscbarged. Mrs. Tully remained ana, m ner clumsy way, tried to ae oomzornng. I It was she who was beside Mary the day the Kirl finally could tout off no longer the task of fac ing herself squarely In the mir ror. Resolutely, she drew her eyes so tne glass.

It bad turned darker and the gray stood out sharply. There was nothing about her, except the eyes, to suggest the piquant lace of only a few weeks ago. Gray-tinged skin, a twisted cneeit, staring eyes. "You could wear a veil Mrs. Tully prattled on. Mary closed her eyes briefly, "Yes, I can wear a veil, she stammered bitterly.

This very young 1 American dnetrtr atanHlntf ner was the one who'd reacuad her in an air raid that last nieht in ine restaurant witn Vincent Then her lips closed. Dr. Lenox would never connect that girl in . Ihe restaurant with the pitiful person standing before him. "And blackouts," Dr. Lenox was saying, "I'll never get used to them. There's something (Tightening about a blackout." Blackout! The word struck her lharply. She stared at Dr. Lenox and he seemed to sense her thought She began slowly, each syllable torn from her tortuously. "This !l . 1 . . . . . is Diacxout lor me. I nad every u thing to live for before this hap pened. I was in love so very much In love. And now, this awful war has blacked me out , too. I'm ugly, I'm maimed.

Have you been in touch with your sweetheart?" "No, no," Mary cried. "Please no." Gilbert Lenox led her to a chair. Then he took out a note book and his fountain pen. "Write me his name and address and let me explain what's happened to him." He thrust the pen Into her hand and opened the book to a blank sheet aaa TVXVER would she WTlte Vin- ' cent's name or address. Never would she see him until she was herself again freed from the blackout that held her prisoner. Her hand with the pen in it began to move. Instead of writ ing, she made a few tentative lines. London in war. London with Hyde Park dotted with A. R. P. signs and buses rolling on almost traffic-free streets. The pen moved jerkily at first and then more freely. Not since art school days had Mary Carroll tried anything ex cept fashion sketches. It gave her a funny, choked feeling to see this fragmentary skyline sketch. Dr. Lenox was patting her shoulder encouragingly. "You're a swell kid and we're going to get you well, Anna Winters." Anna Winters. She was now Anna Winters. She must act as Anna Winters, talk as Anna Win ters and be Anna until the day came when her blackout could be lifted. It would barm no one and it would give her the chance to remain as a British subject in London until the day when the terrible disfigurement was gone and she was reunited with Vin cent "I've already talked to Dr. 0Connell, London's most famous plastic surgeon," Dr. Lenox said. "He's at the front now but when he comes back. I'm going to have him look at you. And now here's some good news. You've had enough hospital for awhile. You're so much better and strong er that it's going to do you good to get out of here and be with your own friends and people. Suppose we make this your last day here?"
