She nodded happily. "I am ashamed
to feel se gay when you are unhappy,"
•he aald.
"I am not unhappy, Joan.” he an-
»wered. “ I thought over everything
last night, and I see now that you
were right. I shall go back. O f course
I shall go back. I shall regain what I
have lost, and I shall face my enemies
and beat them.”
At ten o'clock the horse was har­
nessed and the drive back began.
At first Joan, seated at her lover’s
ride, breathed In the mountain air,
tbs sense o f freedom, the scent o f the
pines, the Joy of the sunlight. Then
the peaks began to tower above them.
The dulled valley air struck some­
thing from her Joy, but not too much
for her to dream. She looked fondly
at Lancaster, who drew her hand Into
his.
“ I am going back to win,” he said
again.
Later the sun went into clouds. The
sir grew molster, the hills Inclosed
them, the familiar landmarks began
to reappear. And now something of
Lancaster's despondency of the eve­
ning before came over Joan.
And
again, as If sensing her mood, he re­
iterated :

aay dear.”
But when the Institute came into
light at last the long, gaunt building
cast Its chill over the girl's heart. In
contrast with the mountain village
Lancaster was depressing and lonely,
And Joan was conscious of one grip­
ping fear. Suppose that Myers had

She understood now how Lancaster
had felt the evening before when he
said he would never go back. It was
like plunging out o f the sunlight Into
a dark mountain pool.
The matron came forward as the
buggy stopped. Joan looked at her
In terror. But her face was placid
enough, and she was able to read in It
the secretary's continued absence.
“ Dr. Lancaster, there was a tele­
phone message for you a few minutes
ago from Avonmouth,” she said.
Lancaster leaped from the buggy
and helped Joan down. “ I'll be with
you In a few moments,” he said,
throwing the reins over the hitching
post.
He went Into the house. His step
was firm, his demeanor unruffled; the
matron, who followed him, seemed un­
disturbed. But already everything was
changed. The black shadow o f Myers
seemed to loom up until It overspread
the Institute again. Joan paced the
porch In fear which gathered strength
each moment that Lancaster failed to
return. When at last she saw him
coming her suspense was unbearable.
She looked at him In mute fear as
he laid hla baud carelessly upon her
shoulder.
“ I have to go to Avonmouth at
once,” he said. "I have nb choice In
the matter. It Is a patient who must
undergo sn operation— my operation—
within twelve hours. It Is fortunate
that we have the buggy, because I
shall just have time to catch the aft­
ernoon train and get Into Avonmouth
at midnight.”
Then he looked at her white face
and read the fear in it. “ If you tell
me to stay, I’ll sa.v,” he said.
"And the patient?” whispered Joan.
“ Will die. No, o f course I shall go.
Nothing could keep me from going,
not even you, my dear. But you would
not have me stay.”
"You are right. Yes, of course you
must go. But I am afraid,” said Joan.
"I am afraid of Myers.”
He started, as if he, too, had been
thinking o f the secretary. “ But the
man can't harm me, dear,” he said.
"T he message came from h im !”
cried Joan In fear.
Lancaster looked away. But. when
she repeated the question he an­
swered, "N o.”
“ He is at Avonmoutb. Is he not
there?” she asked.
“ Well, Joan, I think he Is,” said
Lancaster reluctantly. "But he may
not be. I only know that the message
wag not from him.”
“ It was not from the hospital? Not
from MacPherson?”
"It was from a man connected with
the hospital," said Lancaster. "But
It was not from MacPherson and not
from Myers, and It did not mention
Myers' name.
Why. my dear, you
musn't give way to nerves now that I
am losing mine. It Is a simple request
for ms to operate tomorrow.”
She pulled herself together.
“ Of
course you must go, John.” she said
again. She put her arms about his
neex. "Dear, If you should see that
man. you will not fall Into any trap
that he may set for you?” she asked.
“ You are so strong, yon r.-lll not let
him trample on you? You ere yourself
again, and you will remain so for my
sake?”
“ Never fea r!” he answered rneer-
fully. "I am not going to take mor­
phine again. Why, I shall have none
with root my dear Joan, and I should
have no opportunity to boy any. even
If I wanted to. I shall operate per-
hape as soon as I reach the hospital,

“ I am not afraid that you will take
morphine,” said Joan. “ But yon will
not see Myers?”
“ Not If I can help It. He can't
come to the hospital, and I don't think
he will dare to lie In wait for me at
the station. If he does, he'll find me
a tough customer to kidnap In broad
daylight. There, my dear, be calm
and sensible, and when I return I
shall tell you everything that you
must know.”
He kissed her and hurried In to
pack his suitcase. He came out In a
few moments and placed It In the
buggy. “ Good-by, Joan, dearest Joan,"
he said. "And you will not hint at our
engagement to Mrs. Fraser while I am
gone? I have very special reasons
for this.”
She shook her head and laughed,
and returned his kiss, and all the
while her heart grew heavier. And
long after the buggy had disappeared
from sight she stood upon the porch
looking after It.
C h a p ter IX
That night was sleepless as the last,
but all the joy that had filled her
heart in the hill cabin was gone. She
lay awake, listening to the rain that
pattered on the roof, thinking and
wondering. How strange her life had
become, and how far away the old
landmarks were! She had fought for
a man's soul in darkness and snutched
it into light, and uow the darkness
seemed closing about her again. And
she could only hope and wait through
endless hours.
In vain she tried to tell herself that
It was only an ordinary summons. On
the face of it, the coll was natural;
but Joun's Instinct told her that there
was more behind It. Myers had not
surrendered his prey so easily as he
had assumed to do. And Lancaster
had been evasive—to spare her, per­
haps, but evasive. And her task now
was only to wait.
At eight she rose. She Imagined that
he must have finished the operation
some time before, and be at the sta­
tion, or on his way there, but her soul
cduld not go out to his across the dis­
tance, and their communion seemed
to he cut short by the same lmpene-

trable darkness. Dressing, she was
conscious o f a stronger presentiment
of approaching evil which she could
not shake away.
It was a gloomy day, and the rain
came down in torrents. About eleven
o'clock Doctor Jenkins arrived In his
buggy and inquired for Lancaster. He
seemed surprised to learn that he had
gone to Avonmouth.
He was preparing to return, but
Joan felt the need o f speech with him
Irresistible.
She did not mean to
rross-exnmine him. she only wanted to
shake off the feeling that Lancaster
had passed out o f her reach by speak­
