Gilbert'! arm vu tucked In here in a comradely fashion as they walked, giving her a feeling t . protection. Even mora. She felt an unexpected sense of elation, now that the wedding service was .' over. ' : She was still in Jove with Vin cent Gregg. .She always would be. But the fact thst she had seen him with Carls that day no longer seemed to frightening or so cruel. This marriage at the registry gave her a new status. She was hfrs. Gilbert Lenox. No longer did , she have to masquerade as Anna - Winters. A great surge of tender . ness for the serious, red-headed American doctor came over her. "You've saved me from abso lute defeat," she tried to say. "You've got a heart as big as you are. Great Heart that should be your name or maybe Sir Gala . bad.". .. ., . . v Gilbert looked down at her, .. small and trim by his side. He even managed a smile, although Mary could tell he wasn't thinking of her how. He was impatient to be on the way to the base hospital at the front i. . Almost mechanically he replied, "You're already looking up your self, my dear. That outfit does something for you." It did, too. The simply styled dress was a blue that reflected her eyes and the Tea on the small hat shadowed the twisted right cheek.' Her hair was still colorless and dull and the glowing opal tones of her skin had been blotted out, likely for all time, by .the drab pallor. But new uplifting of her courage radiated from her. e e JN the apartment, Gilbert began to pack few Intimate posses sions. "This Is my mother," J said, showing her a photograph ot weei-iacea woman, we re mid- westerners. There have been doc tors in my family ever since cov ered wagons, moved across the prairies." : Mary was glad he talked. Snatches of anecdotes and reveal ing incidents about his boyhood land his home In Missouri ; "Have you a girl at home?" she asked abruptly. Red flamed in her Xace when the words were said. "Oh, I'm sorry. You haven't asked anything about me or the man I love. I've no right to ask you." "That's quite all right," Gilbert answered. "Girls maybe, yes. But as I told you that day on the sun. porch at the hospital, I've never been in love real love. That's something different It has to be." ' Mary was at his side at once. "Some day youH find someone who's crazy about you. I know It You have everything to offer girt" She went on in a rush of words, "What you're doing for me how, giving me your name while you're In France letting me use your money until I can repay it all that is chivalrous and generous . ' beyond words. But when you ' come back to England, IH be all right again. You've pulled me through and I feel the worst is already over. The marriage can be annulled quietly and IH never ( stand in your way. Even now. , envy the girl who'll be your real wire your sweetheart" Mary's eyes lowered "and her nanas twisted miserably in her lap. Gilbert bent down to her. Be fore either of them were awar nf it, he had drawn -her .to her ieet ana encircled her shoulders. "You want to watch out, Mrs. Gilbert Lenox, or you might be . uie giri t mil-in love with." His f voice grew husky. In a breathless move, he hsd . lifted her in his arms, held her as lightly as If she'd been a dolL The new tenderness Mary felt for him began to flame Into something : stronger. She waited, half hope- hwi tiya nviuu : press down hard on her mouth. at m rTHE spell broke. Gilbert kissed , her but lightly, almost in a brotherly way, and put her down. Mary remembered her unsightly face. No, Gilbert Lenox would never fall in love with her. It , was pity, not a glimmer of love, that had made him give her his name. " When he had packed his few thtnffa nnri nut ...nw. T3iui 1. 1" " I. .1 111 his pocket Gilbert wrote out a few addresses and directions to her. "It's not that I'm afraid," he said. "There's really no danger at oil. Tm to be well behind the firing lines not that I wouldn't like to be right in the thick of the fight But medics get the breaks in these wars and if that's where I can hela most that's where I've i got to stiO Still, even In the med ical corps, I'm going to be pretty far away and it's best to leave some instructions." When Mrs. Simmons brought tea, Gilbert gravely . announced their marriage to her. The lodging house landlady blinked. "Oh, I say!" she began. "A bride? Congratulations. X might have guessed after your taking such good care of her." "You're to look after Mrs. Lenox while I'm gone, understand?" "I will Indeed." the worthy Britisher said. But all the time, Mary could read in the candid face the thoughts that went on be hind it Mrs. Simmons was ob viously thinking, "Handsome Dr. Lenox, him to be saddled with such a poor little nobody of a girl." As they hsd their tea, Dr. Lenox did not refer again to the brief, business-like ceremony at the registry. It was as it they'd been two people who'd signed a con tract to make them partners for a stated time at the end of which they would go their separate ways. Nor did Gilbert talk any more about his departure. Instead, he was very much the physician in these last few minutes with Mary Carroll. He called her Anna, of course, and every time he said the word, Mary felt a trace of guilt. But it was too late now to tell him her real identity. , "Dr. O'Connell is doing special surgery In the same base hospital where I'll be stationed." Gilbert said. "I'll give him the history of your injury and all the facts about it so when he comes back to Lon don he'U be posted on the case. But now, my dear, all the help he can give you isn't going to be worth anything if you don't co operate. You're terribly run down 00 color, no appetite, and your nerves playing havoc with you." Mary nodded. With every pass ing minute, she wss feeling stronger pang at this parting. She might never see him again. ... Her husband! "I understand," aha began, "l'U do as you order." "YouYe to get plenty of exer cise go to tho cinema to relax drink milk and fairly stun on nourishing food. I want you in perfect condition when Dr. O'Con nell takes you to the hospital.' He stood up. "It's time for me to leave." (To Be Continued) Although It Is metropolitan district, London county council, England, contains more than 1000 cows. OUT OUR WAY BY J. R.
