CHAPTER XII rpffXRK just wcrtnt any Jobs in London, Miy Cirroll dacldad attar threa weeks' March. Evan with tha war providing many naw typei of employment, there waa nothing aha could find to do. 1 On leaving tha hoapital Mary went at once to the rooma Dr.. Lenox had put at her disposal, rooms useless to him because of. his required residence In the snedl . cal center. There, despite her grief, she was slightly, comforted to remain among his entirely mas culine possessions. The little touch of hi straight-shouldered per sonality that seemed to cling to the rooms was a source of satis faction. ..-, Of the money in Anna Winters' purse there now remained only few overall coins. "Ninety-three cents!" Mary waa amazed when aha reckoned It In terms of "real money." "If I don't get a job soon" But she never would finish that sentence. That her looks were against her finding work aha did not need is be told. Nor were her clothes any great help. Kindly Mrs. Sim mons, the landlady, had helped her alter them until they had some semblance of fit and the two had brushed and pressed until Mary was passable. But they were not the clothes of New York fashion designer. Daya of Job hunting passed and Mary knew her chances of getting work were slimmer and slimmer. England had already settled to its unprecedented warfara and much of the emergency work had slack ened. - It was in despair that Mary Car roll battled tha winter winds and fought tha crowds In Piccadilly Circus on her way hem after an other fruitiest day of Job hunting. - "I want to die," tha thought, to despair. "What's the use of drag ging on Uka this? I've nothing to look forward to, nothing to hop lor." . . V;-' But no. It waant going to lick her. Her .Yank fighting spirit ; arose. "Only cowards talk about dying," aha told herself. "And for to to have such thoughts Is wort than : cowardly. After all Sr. Lenox has don for me after ha struggled day and night to save my life, la that tha way to repay : hunt .,. . ;.. . OACK in the room in Bono street she found a coal fir burning in the study grata. ... "Dear Mrs. Simmons,'' ah 1 mused,' "Eh knows I can't afford '- fir. And this must be real sacrifice to her, what with th price of coal in this countryl" Th comfort of the room shut . out noises from th outside. Mary felt better because of her resolu tion to carry on or to go down fighting. There was a tap on th door. . "Come," th spoke without look teg up. It could only be Mrs. Sim mons. "Hello, there," a deep masculine vole spoke. "X hop youll not regard this as an intrusion. I had a particular reason for wanting to 'see you." '- ' ' "Why, Dr. Lenox!" Mary's eyes lighted. "This is a grand surprise!'' Bhe sprang from her chair, her ' face reflecting the ruddy glow of ' .the coals. ' - ! r ', "Oh, I say. You aren't eating ' well, are you? You ought to look tnor fit by bow. Have you found a Job yet?" - ' y- ."Not yet And I almost gave up .. today." , "Poor little kid." He patted her hand and led her to chair. "Tha ' going's been tough for you, hasn't .ll? ... 1 ."If you only knew,' Mary ' wanted to say, thinking about her ' masquerade at Anna Winters.. -4 a .- j pJSTEAD she said aloud, "You've been to good to me." fTm glad if I've been sny help. You must never let your courage get low. It has made ma very happy that these rooma are good : tor something." He looked around, rr oping for a way to lighten her r mood. "I say," h said at length. "! : haven't had any tea and I bet you ; haven't either. What say we have 'tome?" - ;- Without waiting for Mary's rt- ply he went to the door, . "Mrs. Simmons. Oh, Mrs. Sim mons. How about soma of that : famous tea of yours? And if you have any, torn hot muffins. Aad If the war hasnt stopped It, could wa have a mere spot of Scotch j goarmaiauet,- - He settled in an easy chair op posite Mary. They talked of the cases in th hospital Mrs. Tully would toon be dismissed as well at other survivors of -the Moravia. Soon Mrs. Simmons bustled In with a giant tray. "Shall I light the lights, Doc tor?" she asked. "No, I think we'd like to have our tea in the firelight," he an swered. "The days will be getting longer soon." His tone was hope ful. "You'll be saving on your light bills, Mrs. Simmons." "It'll be a blessing," she an swered. "With rates as they are now." When the tea was finished Dr. Lenox fished for bis pipe. "I had a reason tor coming here," he said, slowly, deliberately. "I didn't merely come to take up your time. I've got news for you good news, maybe. You can stay in these rooms as long as you like I've Joined a hospital unit in Franca. I'm going overseas very ItTASY waa staggered. When Gilbert Lenox left England she would lose the only friend she had on the whole island. "You dont know how 111 mist you," sh managed to get out be fore she was overcome with her own lost. For - all too well she realized what a buwark of defense ha had been to her. And now his departure would take away her only source of encouragement in a friendless winter world. Ninety-three cents) Not a pros pect of m Job! And now to lose on who had befriended her! "There's something els I want to say to you, Anna," he hesitated. "Now this may seem utterly pre posterous. To you It will be at absurd as all the other things that ire taking place in this topsy turvy world. But nevertheless, her goes "Will you marry me?"
