She glanced at the tall clock which from its corner beat out seconds, Yes, it was almost time. In a few minutes Kit--who had not seen his bride for a whole month--would come to claim her. Had been s right, Lady Mary wondered, that Ginnie should not in those weeks see her husband? Yes, it had been right. Nothing but blankness and fear had looked from Ginnie's eyes on that night when the Frenchman had brought her to this house. Nor would one ever forget her as she had been then, so completely silent. "She is ill, Lady Mary," Captain d'Alain had said. "She is very Bucy afraid. You will take her ' Certainly, thought Lady Mary, that had been the most unexpect- ed moment of her life, in which she had seen Kit's wife stand there on the arm of a stranger, looking up into the light of the Ginnie's suitcase had stood at the stranger's feet. She wore only her dancing frock and a coat. But Lady Mary had not drawn what to some people would have been "the obvious conclusion". This, she had known, had been no at- tempted elopement. Everything but fatigue and fear were absent from Ginnie's glance. While in the eyes of Captain d'Alain had 'wbeen determination, a cold anger 'and when he turned to Ginnie the greatest gentleness. ' Ginnie had obeyed him like a child. When he said, "You are going to bed now, Ginnie. Lady Mary will take you to bed," she had not for an instant looked at her hostess but at the stairs to- | gine stuttered, ward which he had nodded.

So. quickly it had passed, one eB ar, at momen ou; ary, would remain with one. "Good-bye, Etienne," Ginnie re- plied slowly. And it had been, in- deed, "good-bye". For a week later had come the news of the of Etienne d'Alain. But Ginnie had been too ill to learn of it. When at last Lady Mary told her of it, she had wept for a long time. But she had said only one : "He loved me." iL his fa d, wait- g room, ce sad, ing for mews of his wife as he waited every day, had said too only one thing: "He was good, She | is nearly well. Only Kit her quite well. "On the .ev stillness there broke the pulse of a car. It was a big limousine that swept up to the door. Kit out. In a second his stride had braught him into the hall. Before he kissed his mother he looked round him and asked, "Where is Ginnie?" "Patience, Kit--" Before he could answer there was the sound of a light tread. They looked up. Ginnie was de- ding the he it hands. But Kit bent his to kiss and he said, coming home "Yes. 1 will come." She turned to Lady Mary. "Good-bye. And you very much. I've been very happy here." She held Lady Mary's d in a nervous, tight . "Will you come over and you come and stay?" "Now. I'm married." Strange phrase. But if Kit noticed it he: ~¥ made no sign, "Good-bye, my dearest child," said Lady Mary. "Of course I'll see you soon; in a few days." As Kit turned to follow wife toward the car, his mother laid a hand on his arm. "Kit--I'm wor- ried" Kit closed the door with his heel. He put his hands on. his mother's shoulders. He smiled down at her and said, "My wild bird is frozen. But I shall take her to the warmth--" A second after he had turned opened the door {] She was and picked her before, he carried over an hour before. Kit, lying back in his chair, his hands. linked behind his head, looked across the hearth at his wife and at his young brother-in- law who was perc! on the arm of Ginnie's chair, : Now the boy rose. He glanced at the clock. "Well," he said, "must be going--" At once Ginnie's tranquillity vanished. Band 'and back again.

I'm at Wanderslay till start my new job--" Half-consciously, she caught at his sleeve. But he disengaged himself gently, He held out his hand to Kit. "Good-bye. You'll be riding over tomorrow?" He turned to Ginnie. "Come and see me into the car, kid?" he asked. She nodded without looking at her husband. Jerry slipped his arm through hers. Together the brother and sister went toward the door. Kit remained at the hearth. The two young things passed out into the evening. He turned toward the fire and, leaning his arms on the chimney- piece, stared down into the flames. "Patience. He had learned tience in these last weeks, wait- g, longing for Ginnie. Surely he had enough for these few min- utes? It came to him suddenly that it was perhaps a good thing that he was a countryman. A badly handled dog, a nervous thoroughbred -- these had some- thing in common with Ginnie now. . "Eh, Belle?" he said, and stooped to pat. the wise head. But Belle only thumped her tail, gazing out through the door with anxious eyes. Outside the stars shone down in silver light. Jerry, a slim-belted silhouette, stood at his small, fast, opel car. "Ginnie," he asked, "do you like being here?" _ She nodded. And there was a pause. "Ginnie, you know--Kit only got me over here tonight to make you happy. He'd much rather have been alone with you." Even in this light he could see the sud- den color in her cheek. He looked up at the house and abruptly asked, "Look here, Ginnie, you do still care for Kit?" He had to listen for her answer. "Yes Jerry." . Then that's all right." He opened the door of the car. With suddenness he pulled her to- ward him. He dropped a kiss on her nose. "Now you run along in, kid. Good-bye." But she watched him slide into his seat, slam the door. then roared. He him, backed, switched on the headlights, swept the car round in a magnificent curve, grinned, waved his hand and with the car vanished into the darkness. The beat of the engine lessened on the air. Out here it was a little chilly. But for a long moment Ginnie stood there, before at last she turned and entered the house. Kit was standing at the hearth, waiting. She made a business of hanging up her coat.
