BLINDNESS OF ARTHUR TOLLER

through arches of red and white roses
into the garden round the house, turning
with path which led to the entrance,
and stopped. Upon an old seat built
round tree upon which many initials, all
ending with T. were carved sat woman
leaning forward with her face in her
hands, her shoulders shaking as she
sobbed
She must have heard my step, for she
started up quickly with a strong effort
to control her emotion, and stood looking
at me- For moment we faced each
other silently.
Mrs Toller!"
l think there must have been intense
surprise in my voice. Her hair was
white, her face was twisted with pain, and
her eyes were red with much crying. A
look of something like gladness flashed
into them, and she flung out both her
hands, breaking out again into great
sobbing.

And then she spoke, lifting her head.
No, he is not dead; but l am crying
because-because to-day, presently, per-
haps in an hour, may be the cause of
his wishing he had died ten years
ago. Oh, | am so glad to see you, to be
able to talk to you, to let go all the
suppressed suffering of the last six
1nonths!"
Suffering? But thought you were
Happy? Until six months ago I
used to think the world was made for
us, that it was our particular property;
that the sun shone for us, the birds sang
us. We seemed to be the only people
in the world until six months ago. Until
then it was one long honeymoon. We
have never had an angry word, regretful
minute. If possible, he loves me more
tenderly to-day than he did when he
asked me to be his wife. And I-oh, |

but following long way behind me-
during all these happy years-although
he has never suspected it-there has been
Sinking shadow, horrid living fear
something which, too far away to be
seen at one moment, the next moment
is standing at my elbow with its grinning
face poked into mine. 1t always repeats
the same words-I believe they are
burned into my heart, stamped upon my
brain He thinks you are beautiful he
thinks you are beautiful He will find
that you are ugly-ugly!'
| felt her shudder. | could see the
blood leaving her face as she clasped
her hands to her ears. She appeared like
woman in the dock waiting for the
sentence of death. Good Heavens! and
people will tell you that there is no such
thing as love.

dear Mrs. Toller. are there no glasses
in the house? Have you never looked
at yourself in them? Besides, even if
you were an ugly woman-I can't agree
with you as to that even to oblige you
Arthur would never know it. 1t is
too late for him ever to regain his
sight"
She sprang to her feet, flinging up her
arms. 1T is not too late 1t is not
too late! That's why my hair is white
and my body is full of sobs. Arthur is

me to see the look of horror in his eyes

dreams. Oh, what am | to do, what,

She pulled UP short, and gripped my
arm SO hard that l could have shouted
All her senses seemed suddenly merged
into one-hearing. Even her eyes seemed

Then my arm was gripped more tightly,
and | never saw any face SO desperately

teeth l could hear her repeating as
though it was a lesson: He thinks

beautiful! He will find that you are
ugly; he will find that you are uglyl"
The doctor, talking cheerfully, and
with more than a touch of professional
pride at the success of his case, led us over
the sun-bathed lawn-"Mr Toller will

There were tears in the smiling eyes
of the old man who stood inside the door,
and it seemed to me that as we went into

earth. The cheerful grooms stopped

pals upon the cobbles, the merry cry
of some boy or girl, the tender piping
of the birds, the deep minor note of

buzz of insects, were no longer to be

was waiting for a verdict, with held
breath.
AS we went upstairs. following the
still-talking doctor, l could hear
her repeating: He thinks you are

hear Arthur moving about the room with
quick, elastic step. Every now and then
he gave great, gay laugh-the Arthur
