THE NORTHERN ADVANCE --{ U1 ILUIJUII. He had seen the woman he loved for a few brief .seconds as she passed before his 8; eyes; he had recognised her, but at the ` same time the recognition conveyed noth- ing to his mind. It was as if he had sud in denly fallen asleep, seen her pass in a l I dream, and then awakened. - A,/Before him the long line of traffic passed bl unbroken: omnibuses, motor-cars, taxi- l kl cabs; people crowded the pavements laugh- ing and chattering as they elbowed their - human beehive, an onlooker rather than a way along. London had just finished work` and was going out to play; the strident yet `I monotonous song she sang day and night 11 echoed dully in his ears. For nearly three 1` weeks he had been part of this gigantic worker, yet tirelessly seeking with almost 5` ferocious energy for the one person in the whole city that 1nnttered-to him. Easton had been born with a vivid ima- gination which early in life he had learnt to * control, and lately, in the interests of his profession, he had almost succeeded in stifling. Once `or twice in his search for May it had played him false, conjured up the nameless dangers which threatened a young and beautiful girl in any city in the world. He had never known the meaning of fear till now, though a score of times his life and those entrusted to his charge `nd hovered on the edge of eternity. Fear for a loved one out of reach or be- yond protcction is the worst fear of all. To 1 die fighting is the easiest thing in the world; to live unable to strike a blow for your country or your loved one the most difficult. t I .L,L `L- .....m.m- hurl nmm. down ` Until that monient Easton had not been certain, he who loved her.
