Alan" she cried, 'soh, my darling,

There was still no doubt In her

that he was trying to recover from

her coming to him must be inexpres-

She turned, walking unsteadiIy,

Mackenzie. The temptation to let

say nothing to Joyce; but to 60 on

And then he saw in flash what his
life would be. How every moment of
happiness with Joyce would have its
corresponding moment of bitterness
when he was alone; how he must live
a double life, always on the brink OF
detection. Not worse, perhaps, that
the life parted from Joyce; but then
he would be an honest man, and not q
traitor. He put his temptation away
from him, thanking God that he could
do so, knowing that Joyce would not
love man who was dishonorable. So

steps away he called to her hoarsely
