CHAPTER XLIl
IT was night now. Outside on
the trt lamps war IlKhted,
stlrer peers blooming suddenly
blgh 1b the early dusk. Inside the
quiet hospital room nothing was
changed. Quiet feet slipped to and
fro. Someone helped Monnle to a
lew chair. She did not take her
eres from the face of the boy In
the high, narrow bed. His eyes
were closed now. There waa an
expression of deep contentment la
his face.
'Anyhow he km't In pain," she
kept tiling herself orer and orer,
dragging herself with the thoaghL
"Anyhow. It's belnr made easy for
Urn.'
The (sbkhu specialist aostled In
Just after the lamps were IK. There
waa a hurried consultation. Noth
ing seemed to make any difference.
The Terdlct waa the same.
Monnle was conscious one dur
ing the long hours of Charles Eus
tace at her aide.
Ton aaast come away and get
aome rest," he urged softly. This
Is doing no good. He dorsal know
you're here."
She shook her head, gently stub
born. ' As If she would leere now!
Why, she had glren Dan her word!
Just before midnight he opened
his eyes. It seemed to Monnle that
he smiled at her. His mother,
swaying on her feet, called his
name. Dan closed those dark blue
eyes of his again and a little shud
der shook him. That was alL It
was aa If he had smiled at them
to say goodby. The nurse led
Mrs. Cardigan away and afoonle.
dazed, found herself ta the cor
ridor. Charles arm was about her.
It wasn't true, she thought. Dan
wasn't gone. Oh, there must be
something someone could dol It
waa monstrous, unbetterable!
The shuffling old man by her
side wss weeping frankly, like a
child. Dan'a father. He said, his
features working painfully,
"Thank yon, Monica. Thank you.
You made It easier for htm."
Then she waa beside Charles In
the ear again. The same stars,
the ones that had shone shore
her Isst night, were bright in the
sky. A girl and boy, arms linked,
went by In the street, laughing.
The world was going on, quite as
If nothing was wrong. Monnle
felt something clutch 'at her
throat. She wanted to say,
"Charles, I'm afraid I'm going to
be 111." But she Barer managed
tne worde.
THEN ahe awoke ahe was in
her own bed. Her mother.
anxious eyed, hovered orer her
with a cup of steaming liquid In
one hand.
"Dr. Waterman aays you're to
drink this snd you're not to
talk." she told Monnle. The girl
was obedient. She felt strange
ly exhausted, strangely limp.
Through some sort of fog ahe was
grsteful to them all for taking
care of her. They were kind
everyone was.
In the days that followed Mon
nle somehow picked up the
threads of her life sgaln. She
waa broken, ahe told herself.
Nothing could really make her
whole but she would do the best
the could with what waa left.
She waa so quiet, so submissive
that she frightened them all.
When Mr. Vernon asked her to
come back to her old work Monnle
said she thought she'd better not
It would be dreadful, having all
her old friends come In and pity
her, sympathizing with her word
lessly, watching to see "how she
waa taking It" Besides Dr. Water
man told her he wanted her for his
secretary, to take calls In ths office
and help with his Wednesday chil
dren's clinic. This work was really
tne nrrt thing to claim her atten
tion. Monnle flung herself Into It
with a passion of devotion. It was
aa anodyne for her pain. When
she worked she forgot the past
yesr. Its fretting and disappoint
ments and heartache, with her
great loss at ths top of the high
htlL
Sandra ahe did not see again. A
week after Dan's funeral Sandra
had gone away, heavily yelled, with
her father.
"She's marred for life," Kay told
Mrs. O'Dare, not without a certain
grim satisfaction. "She's gone to
see a plastlo surgeon in Vienna,
Linda says, hoping he can fix her
up. They say there's a bad scar
across her forehesd and one near
the mouth."
Mrs. O'Dare shuddered. "Don't
tell me about It."
see
lAt said, "Did you know they'd
all been drinking the nlglit she
and Dan ran off? Sandra wasn't but
she saw to It that Dan had too
much and then dared him to elope.
Ha was in one of his black moods
and did It Just to show oft. He
never really knew what happened."
"Does Monnle know that?"
"I think she does," Kay said.
"Charles said he wanted to tell
her. He said she should know about
It Charles says Dan never loved
anyone but Monnle only he was too
weak to come out and claim her In
front of hla family."
"Sometimes I think we were all
rag, discouraging Monnle about
Dan." alghed the mother. "I felt
sure they were terribly nnaulted
and that ahe'd never be happy with
him. But now well, I don't know.
It aeema to me perhapa they
ahould have taken their chances.
Maybe Monnle'a life la ruined. She
haa the most tenacious affections.
She isn't like most girls nowa-
daye."
"MeanlBg mef" Kay grinned.
"Well, you know you do lead
some of these boys rather a danoa,"
said the mother, smiling.
Kay set a blue hat Jauntily aiUt
on her bright curia. "They love to
be treated that way," ahe aald
saucily. The Boatman's knock
sounded and she flew to open the
door.
"New York mall for Monnle,"
she aald. "I hope It's something
that will sheer her up. 'Bye. I'm on
my way. I've got to go to the
Ladles' Aid Christmas sale before
I stop at the office." And ahe waa
gone.
When Monnle came In for her
luncheon she opened the big creamy
envelope. There was a brief Bete
from Arthur Mackenzie.
"Dearest Monica" (he had writ
ten). "I've Just heard the sad news
from Miss Corey who wrote me
from Paris. Please let me know tc
there Is anything I can do. Are yon
wellf What are your plans? Let an
hear from yoa soon. Devotedly, Ar
thur Maekeniie."
Monnle remembered him arate
fully. Here was a maa who asked
nothing of her not love, not even
friendship really, but who wanted
to be kind. She wrote to him In thla
mood, opening her heart aimply
and honestly. The eorreepondeaea
that followed waa a heavy one.
Monnle'a IHtle notes flew back and
forth and almost every day a
square, parchment colored envelope
addressed in Mackenzte'e bold hand
writing waa deposited la the letter
box for her.
T2
ST before Christmas there ar
rived at the O'Dare home what
Mark excitedly described as "a bale
of rosea" from a city florist's shop.
Charles Eustace, on the heela of
the messenger boy, lifted his brows
at the sight
They're from Mr. Mackenzie."
Monica stammered, rather at a loea
before Charles' quizzical glance.
Why was It lately that he had
seemed so strange, almost cool so
herT He was always alee to Kay,
chaffing her In pleasant brotherly
fashion. With Monnle he seemed
formal, almost distant In his man
ner. "Did yon want Kay's working
late tonight" Monnle went on, sttU
rather at a loss.
"I knew that" Charles laid his
stick on the hall table and Monnla
saw that he was In evening clothes.
"I'm going on to the Wlllard's for
dinner. They're giving a dance for
Ellen."
So that waa It, Monnle thought
Ellen Willard, the daughter of the
new family - who had taken the
Lawrence's house, was a beauty as
well aa brilliant intellectually. She
and Charles would be certain to
hit it off wclL
"I'm wishing yoa all a happy
Christmas," Charles told her for
mally. He weighed his stick In his
band, giving the mammoth florist's
box another quizzical glance.
"I knew Mackenzie la Mont
Carlo," he said Irrelevantly. "Nice
fellow very."
"Ob, he Is," Monnle said with en
thusiasm. And then felt rather
foolish, thinking her tone sounded
gushing. It wss horrid of Charles
to make her feel so! What was the
matter with them both? Couldn't
they be friends sny more?
Her mother came In lust then
and the conversation took an easier
trend, became general. Monnle had
dreaded Christmas this yesr but
somehow the spell of the old, fa
miliar things, the scent of nine, the
holly wreathe in all the windows,
the children singing carols, took
hold of her. 8he reproached her
self for the pleasure she felt In It
Why, It must be wrong! Dan waa
gone. There was no Christmas for
him this year. How could ahe go
on without him, how find any pleas
ure In the season?
Perhaps that was what Charles
meant when he looked at her so
oddly. Perhaps he thought she wsa
shallow and bad no heart

Greek fire was an Incendiary
composition of anphalt, saltpeter,
and sulphur, which was used by
the Byzantine Greeks and which
would burn on or under water.
