Inward beauty waa even greater

In her, could come ao cloe to un
derstanding Diana's conviction
that Stephen her Stephen had
spoken.
An hour later Gvalyn'a chauf
feur delivered her to the houie
and the two glrla went together
to the library where Diana told
Evalyn the atrange thlnga that
had happened.
I "Do you think I might have
heard hla voice really, Evalyn7"
Diana asked, her hand clutching
illie blind glrl'a Blender flngera.
"I don't know, darling, lt'a very
beautiful to think you did. But
lt'a been ao long and we've heard
nothing"
"Do you think I act like an In
sane person, Evnlyn?"
Kvalyn turned in surprise. "But

Nothing could shake her belief In
that
It was atrange, Diana reflected.
aa the drowlneM of emotional ex
haustlon stole through her slim
body like the action of some sooth
ing drug, that splriluiilly he could
fal that she and Stephen shared
ao much when actually their mo
menta of tenderness could be
counted In the ticking of few
momenta In time. She remem
bered with gentleness In a balf
emlle the nltfht she had gone to
Thorpe's lodijo to "reacue" Adela
and stepped Into the trap that had
been laid for her an evening she
end Stephen, growing closer to
each other, should by all right
have had together . . .
Adela'a hand on her arm, Ade
la's kindly "You mut rest, my
dear," disturbed the reverie.
She lay down quietly and Adcla
drew the covers up over her and
went quietly out of the room. But
outside the door Atlclft paused,
her eyes hard and cruel and tri
umphant Diana must hava slept, for
when ahe awakened It was to find
Adela and t (trengo man suindlng
beside her bed. Sho- sat up
(hastily. "What Is the meaning of
(this?" ah demanded indignantly,
. Adela waa decidedly nervous.
PI I was afraid you were 111,
'Diana, and I've asked Dr. Stutgart
ito come to see you.
"Nonsense! I'm quite all right"
Her glance swept over the man.
noted his shifting, restless eyes;
knew he could not be a reputable
physician. Her soft mouth became
a grim line. "Could It be that
you called Dr. Stutgart because
vat my what you chose to call
my dream, Adela?
Adela'a smile was fixed, full of
triumph. "What you choose to
call your reactions may have
bearing on the case," ahe sneered.
"However, we'll let Dr. Stutgart
Idecldel"
i Fury suddenly swept over Dl
:ana. She felt very much as she
had that day so long ago In Rich
ard Thorpe's office when she had
told everybody concerned to go
to the devill Forces long dammed
up; Indignities long sulTered; pas
sions long leashed possessed her
swiftly. She swept back the
covers and stood before them. It
did not lessen her anger to sea
the look Dr. Stutgart swept over
her figure In its transparent night
gown. . Her eyes flashed and her
face was white with rage.
; "Now look here, Adela!" she
Tjegin, trying to keep her voice
Ifrom icreamlng the. words. "I've
stood all I Intend to stand from
iyoul Your Insults, your insinua
Itlona but this Is the Inst atrnwl
lOet out of her? Do you hear?
Get out tills minute! And take
Jthls Idiotic, simpering quack with
'Iyoul"
SHE stood there shaking with
fury, while Adela, simulating
extreme fear, backed out of the
room followed by the entranced
Dr, Stutgart who DlHna was aura
murmured the word "Beautiful"
several times beneath his breath.
When the door closed behind
them, Diana stood for a moment
longer, then sank to the bed, con
vulsed with helpless laughter In
which was mingled atrange, heart
shaking tears. Suddenly ahe con
trolled herself, slopped abruptly,
a thought widening her eyes.
' Could It be that she wna renny
going Insane? Hnd nil the atrange
thlnga that hnd hnppencd really
unbalanced her mind? Cnlmly,
almost analytically, ahe exnmlncd
her reactions. No-Hhe had never
been saner In her llfo. It was Just
that the tension under which ahe
had been living hnd shattered her
nerves until one dnv perhaps con
trol might easily become impos
sible. And when thnt dny came
would Adcla finally convince the
world that Diana was unbal
anced? . Diana's arms encircled the bed
ipost for a moment and aha lay
Iher head down wearily. "Oh, Ste

'"come loon-a-como goonl" , ,

l"Come over and spend the dny

you'll think It strange that Adela
