Ion looked forward to the ten minutes
or so between the close OF work and her
departure as the plcasantest time of her
day. She turned her eyes from CARING
toms face to the fire.
'Yes, l have had my romance" she re-
piled. And then she told him her story.
1t was poor, feeble little romance dead

when Marion was a nurse at the London
Hospital. Merely a young doctor who
was poor, a few flowers and note,
which Marion still kept In her workbox,
though she did not tell Darlington that.
Some girls would scarcely have noticed II
at the time, and would have forgotten all
about II in a fortnight. But Marion
cherished its memory, for 1t stood be-
tween her and the certainty that she
had never found favor In the eyes OF
men.

heavy pair OF curtains hung.

But he did not answer, And then she
understood that he was asleep
For the moment, in her half-awakened
state. she could not think OF the right
thing 10 do. She watched him pull one
OF the curtains aside, The light from n
gas lamp in the street below fell full
upon his face. And by the light she saw
that his hands were pulling and tug

head lie was trying to take of the
bandage from his eyes. In another
moment. IL he succeeded. the glare OF the
gas lamp would meet them and extin-

OF startled comprehension, saw but one

Her heart gave IA great leap of eXulta-

The words broke in a fash across her
mind the last sentence she had taken
Jown from Carrington's lips.
In an instant she was by his side,
wide awake, every nerve tingling with
shame.

in his ear. laying her hand upon his
arm and gently drawing him away from

heart. He was waiting for the removal
OF the bandage to know whether he was
to see or be blind for the rest OF his
life. Marion had been with him all the

TO tell her that Lewis was going on

that he would see as soon as his eyes
were strong enough to bear the light.
The evening before the day on which
the question was to be decided, Caring
ton was restless and nervous. Marion
read aloud to him to keep his thoughts
from the morrow. But she saw his
fingers twitch upon the arm of his chair
and knew OF what he was thinking. At

She had decided to give him Il soothing
draught whcn his breathing became
more regular, and at last settled down
into the rhythmic respiration OF the
sleeper, So Marion lay down on the sofa
In the sitting-room.
She had been asleep, az 1t seemed. but
a little while when something awoke her,
and from where she lay she saw Car

With a sigh he turned, and suffered

For a minute or two Marion watched him
