CHAPTER XXI
JJE found cost before sha eould
changa her mind, bundled
bar Into bla car and swung out
ef tr.afllc onto tlie open highway.
Neither spoke, for a long time until
Diana said, "A man from an In
eurance company cam to ee me
today."
a Phil wei not surprised. "Steve
14 me about that"
"He did?"
Tea. He laid there wai a great
4m1 of uncertainly about that aort
et trip. He wanted to be aura
you'd ba taken cara of."
"But a hundred thouaand dol
lara!" "1 happen to know the ratea
came plenty high. It I can advlie
you In any way "
"I didn't take itl"
Phil awerved the car aharply.
TWhat?"
"I didnt take It. Phil I dont
auppoie you can underitand It,
but I have euch a stranis feeling.
I look up expecting to aee him In
the doorway. I know ha Isn't
deed I"
"It'a the clrcunuUncee aur
roundlng the caie," ha aald,
frowning. "Never really knowing.
I think you'd be happier In the
long run, Diana, If you'd juat ac
cept the truth."
"I can't."
He drove mora aiowly, "You
O loved him very much!"
"Yea. I winh I might have told
him to. It wc-uld have made
thlnga ao much eailer now." But
how could ahe have told him,
when he did not even klu her
goodby that momlng at the alr
Iport? "Then perhapa If will make rt
eailer," PhU aald alowly, "If I
told you that ha loved you with
all the atrength of hla being. But
he thought there waa something
keeping you apart "
Her voice cnme on a whljcer.
"How how do you know?"
"Ha apoka to ma about It that
jlaurt day.' We were alone for a
momem at tvaiyn i, you remem
ber, while you and ahe went up
stairs togclhrr to get your wraps.
Ha aald, 'PhU It anything should
jhappen to me, you'll look out for
'Diana, won't you? I've discovered
that I love her very much, but
I won't say anything until I re
turn. It wouldn't be fair to her."'
"But Evelyn It was Evalyn he
loved always!"
OPhJl spoke with quiet convlc
ition. "loving Evalyn la Ilka wor
shiping a dim, far-off statue.
You're flesh and blood, Diana a
men could not live In the same
house with you long and resist
lyoul"
CHE was too preoccupied to think
0 Phil might be also speaking
for himself. She stared straight
at the road before her until It
became blurred with her teara.
Then aha began to weep quietly,
aa If the sobs were coming from
her very soul. She cried for
long time and Phil waa silent,
busy with his driving and his own
'brooding thoughts. At Inst she
'laid her hand on his arm. She was
smiling through her tears.
"Thanks for tolling me that,
'Phil," she snld. "And now I
ethall never stop waiting for him
to come backl"
A little later Phil left her at
the door, drove oft wondering.
Diana seemed so sura that Ste
phen was alive. And yet, the evi
dence of hla death was so con
clusive conclusive enough to sat
isfy an Insurance company!
O1 In the hallway Larkln told
iDlana that Adela waa waiting to
laa her In the drawing room,
plana drew a deep breath. Well,
at was Inevitable, of course. She
land Adela must have an under
standing. But ahe had hoped It
(night be dolnyed a little longer.
: Adela was pacing nervously
back and forth before the fire,
wnue Aunt Christie occupied the
big, while leather chair. Richard
Thorpe's profile was clear-cut
against the darkening window. So
Aunt Christie knew and approved
of Adela'a affair with Richard.
She was the type who would,
Diana reflected scornfully.
Ever since the night sha had
Ivlslted Richard's hunting lodge in i
learch of Adela, sha had sensed
In him a mounting Intensity ot
dislike, born ot the fact that ha
had revealed Diane's attraction
for him only to be coldly rebuffed.
Such repulsion his ego could not
tolerate and so his desire to hurt
Diana had played eagerly Into
O Adela'a hands.
. "You wanted to sea ma, Adela?"
Three pairs ot hostile eyea
raised to meet hers. Adela cama
forward, trembling a little.
"Yea. We all know the arrange

ment my brother made with you
about becoming his wife. We
know the marriage was a farce
from beginning to end. And now
we want to know when you are
leaving this houiel"
Diana took a deep breath and
steadied herself. "I'm not leav
ing," she said quite clearly. "Ste
phen asked mo to carry on until
his return and that's exactly
what I'm going to dol"
aaa
CHE awakened early one morn
lng, Just as dawn was poking
fingers of light Into her bedroom.
Outiklo the mists of night had not
lentlroly dissolved. She arose and
.'went to kneel at the open win
dow, looking out Into the garden.
jClreat waves of fog swept bock
as if by an unseen hand, and a
fnlnt plnknrss In the east gave
assurance of a bright, new day.
Diana felt a great peace descend
upon her, as It for a moment out
of eternity all thought and time
was arrested while she knelt there
and drank In the promise of the
dawn.
And then Stephen's voice, as
clear as sha had ever heard It,
spoke quietly and tenderly. "Di
ana, my beloved we ahall ooon
be together again In Just a little
while"
Trembling, the teors streaming
down her face, lifted entirely out
of herself, she rose end, as com
plete Joy flooded her being, sha
found herself In . the hallway,
'knocking frantically at Adela'a
jdoor, calling: "Adela! Adelal
i Please come"
Adela opened (lie doqr to shire
