Christabel could see Miss Thorpe settling on a scandal-of some sort im- mediately; Christabel was parted or divorced from her husband. Kindly as Miss Thorpe was. she was enough of cm old maid to Lend-to want to disapprove of any woman who was maniflestiy more attractive than herself. “Did you now?" said Miss Thorpe; and the silence which fell seemed elo- quan ufiUm the quesnon: ”VVhaL are you doing here then? Where is your husband?" Christabel‘s beauty and her silence tended to make the other women curi- ous. even a little suspicious. One or another would sometimes ask her a di- rect question; had she finished her nurse's training? Had she been nurs- ing longâ€"and so on. “I began to train at St. Bridget‘s," she told Miss Thorpe. “But, I gave it up and got married. when I was very young.“ The matron. Miss Thorpe. was a cap- able elderly woman. who had been a hospital nurse for many years; two of the other girls were trained nursse. and when these used to sit in the kitch- en at night, with Miss Thorpe exchang- ing reminiscences. Christabel was fre- quently aware of her own silence. CHAPTER XIII ACCIDENT AT THE CAMP Hidden behind a grove of chestnut trees on the slight uplands which rise ,tapthehills behind. Romney Marsh. was Cavanagh’s child welfare camp. Thirty little children from the most dismal areas in London spent holidays of a month and more in the homestead and outhouses of what had been a farm on Cavanagh's estate. “If you'd like to.” “Good!"

He made no reply to that. but mere- ly said: “I hope you enjoy your holiday and Christabzl drew back from the desk‘ her heart beating with triumph; she was not only reinstated. but by now she had his confidence.

The girl’s voice quivered with excite- ment. ineffectually disguised as com- passion.

She reeled and the whole world shot upwards in a flash of light. abruptly blotted out. HEWITSON HEARS The first that Hewltson heard about the accident was when he went to the clinic on Thursday evening. The nurse who had taken Christabel‘s place. a voluble young woman. said to him when she brought him his coffee: "Isn‘t it awful about Nurse Collet. Hercver complicated by Miss Thorpe‘s ‘ fancies. “I call myself Miss Collet." said Chris- ta'bel. “But I'm really a widow. My lhusband died not long ago. and un- fortunately I was not provided forâ€"so I had to go back to nursing. I was lucky to get. the job at. Bering Street." ' Which' was perfectly true; Miss i Thorpe rather surprisingly believed her. lAt once. as the young widow, Christa- l bel took on .3. romantically sad appear- lance in Miss Thorpe‘s eyes. . A note came from Hewitson. "Dear Miss Coll-2t." it. ran. “Can I come down on Friday and take you for a run in the car? We might go over to Canterbury. Let. me know if the camp could spare you for the day?â€"â€"Yours. l'etc.. Grant Hewitson." Dorrie hesitated, started to run across the road then stopped dead in the mid- dle of it. and looked about her; she had dropped her linen hat out of sight. in the ditch by the thistle. "Quickly. Dorrie!” called Christa-bel. and started towards the child. as an abrupt increase of noise warned her that the car was nearer than she had supposed. The next. instant. with the child. who was slow and partly deaf. still standing in the middle of the road. the car swung round the bend. just behind her; Cavanagh‘s big coupe-de-ville. On the near side was a crowd of children. and on the other no room for the car to swerve between Dorrie and the hedge. Christabel’s body worked quicker than her mind. She only knew that she had launched herself across the road in front of the car, that. she caught up the child and flung it and herself towards the roadside. She was out. walking with some of the children a day or two later. in one of the winding lanes which led down to the green levels of the marsh. when one of her charges. particularly hun- gry-looking. grey faced little mite. made a sudden dart across the road to pick a purple thistle. "Take cane. Dorrie." said Christabel. “It's prickly." The child proved the truth of this after an attempt or two. “Come back, dearâ€"there's a car com- ing!“ called Chi'istabel. who could hear the noise of one behind them round the bend in the road. Christabel's first sight of Cavanagh was early one morning. when he walk- ed over to the camp with two peaple who were staying with him. during the children‘s brcakfast. He was a man of medium height. with silvery hair and a kindly. cultured face; her first glance at. him gave her the impression that he was probably not very strong physically. The nexc occasion of her meeting him was altogether differ-ant. odd, with an income running into five figures derived from a. business in which he took no active part; he inter- ested himself in art and science and social questions instead: and he was said to be acquainted with all the fam- ous and distinguished persons of the day. He was a. widower. and his one son had been killed in a flying crash three years before. Meanwhile at the camp much ,of the conversation was about, Mr. Cavanag‘h. Cavanagh was then staying at Kearne Hall. He was. it seemed. a man of fifty- She asked Miss Thorpe if she might have Friday off ; and then posted a card to him saying that. she would very much like the ran over to Canterbury. Is she dead?
