into the eager. wistful face of Jane
Gable. 1t was too much for her to ex-
pect that he could see and understand
at once. He would not know what had
gone before nor why she was there.
His feeble glance took in her face
with lifeless interest. Perhaps 1t was
because he had seen her In that death
like dream. Perhaps his weakness kept
him from true realization. In any
event, he did no more than to allow the
flicker Of a smile to come into his eyes
before he closed them again. Breath

hearing some one calling from a great
distance he moved and again looked
upward, the consciousness of pain in
his gray eyes. This time he stared
hard at her His eyes grew brighter
and then darkened with wonder. At
last she saw the look of surprise and
Joy and relief that she had been hun
gering for. He knew her, and he was
beginning to understand.

thanked God for this first great ray Of
hope he gave forth no sign. When she
