CHAPTER XVII


Tho deathlilge stupor into which the sick
man had fallen lasted for days.
The doctor, whom Norris sent, looked
grave when he saw him. This utter pros
tration Of mind and body left him nothing to
work on. Unless nature interposed with
her wonderful revivifying powers, life would
waver out like breath from the ill-used,
emaciated body which seemed already TO
Dear the stamp Of the great change that
comes to all sooner or later, yet which
might seem welcome release TO such an
existence as his.
Some such thought went through the
ioctor's mind. but Bergman had charged
him to spare no efforts toward the mans
recovery, so he in turn laid his charges on
the nurse.
"You are quite sure you understand your
businesss' he asked. httle sharply.
Pm not a professional, if that's what
you mean, doctor, but I've been through a
power o. sickness. I'll watch him faithful,
never you fear.n
Not a fair sight 10 look at, this coarse

hidden under her closely frilled cap, but
she was strong and willing, and though APP

stefan went away satisfied with his as
sistant. and the events proved his con.
fidence justified,
She was uutiring in her watchfulness.
The brandy and beef-tea and medicines
were given with the regularity Of clock
work When the change came, and the pa
tent began TO roll and toss in the fever and
delrium which succeeded, she knew just
how far TO restrain his violence without
making the restraint irilsome to the tort
ured body. She caught her snatches of
sleep in the hours when he WAS easiest, and
was ready for the long night vigils, when
the haunting fantasies crowded around the
poor fellows pillow. making him moan and
SILVER and cry aloud in his agony.
Norris gave her some approving words
when he made his duty call on the third or
fourth day.

quietly like sensible people9'
''Oh, keep every thing quiet" urged
Carol, shrinkingly, only just beginning to
realize what she had taken on herself
What would her friends say if the fact Of
her engagement to this man were noised
abroad. What would they think.
The light in which one Of them would view
it was to be made known TO her sooner than
she expected.
The bountiful dinner served 10 the three
was over. The gas was lit. but turned TO a
moonlike glow by the softening globes.
Carol walked TO window, and, lifting the
curtain, looked out.
There was a holiday aspect TO the street
even in this quiet corner Young couples
passed arm in arm, with happiness in their

The bright head droored, and a blush
crept into the clear cheek.

this of you, Carol! You are such child in
the ways of the world, you know so little
about business matters, that l doubt if you
would understand the Importance | attach

that he is deeply mixed in Mr.. Everleigh's
embarrassments, which 1 find harder to

could do US much harm If he were to break
with us now, but in few weeks more we
can afford to declare ourselves independ-
ent of him. By the way, Carol, you were
good enough 10 give me an unconditional
promise the other night regarding Berg
man, but | will modify that by letting you
do as you please about him I'll even be
friendly with him for your sake, if you ask
it-after this affair with Ingot is over.
Until then, shall hold YOU to your word,

There was no wavering in the eyes that
met hers now, though they were somber
and dark, and bore signs OF the sleepless
night through which he had passed.
His reasons seemed vague and unsatis-
factory to Carol She wished he would ex-
plain more fully, but TO urge il might APP

thinking for her, and in return he had
been more indulgent than brothers usually
are. If she was waking now TO the fact
that she had mind Of her own, she was
certainly not prepared yet to set her judg-
ment against his and maintain the issue.
When Mr.. lngot came again. he did not
meet with the rebuff She had been prepared
to give. He smiled 70 himself, knowing
smile, but there was a trace Of bitterness
in H.

Somebody is s.opping here; do be-

queer, yet how good Of her to come this
night Of all nights ia the year. =
Dropping the curtain, she ran into the
hall TO meet her friend. Lyman bit his lip
with annoyance, though an eager glow
burned in his eyes. He had told Carol
nothing of an informal invitation TO dine at
the Everleigh's, which he had declined for
both of them Il was queer that Althea
should come there how queer he alone
could feel-yet her erGand was a very
simple one
