CHAPTER XVII.

Derring threw himself into work
with the intensity Of despair. He
worked early and late. He dared not
give himself time to think. Beauty
had gone from the world-interest
from life. Work was the only thing
left. He plodded on in a dull, mo.
notonous fashion. 1t served to kill
time. and there was the chance of los
ing himself. for little while, in his
task
He would work for days with fever.
ish eagerness. for the sake of these
few minutes of working oblivion. in
which he could lose himself. until the
dull pain that always preceded his re-
turn to consciousness became too
strong to be ignored When he turned
10 question its meaning, memory stood
always at hand to place the burden
once more on his shoulders.
Except for these brief minutes
there was not an hour in the day
when his loss did not press upon him.
To his tortured Imagination he was
like man torn In two, one-half to
be buried out of sight. the other to
live on. suffering and enduring, till
the jagged wound should heal. At
every turn his thoughts went out to
her-only to be net by the hopeless
blank of her death. For months the
thought of her had been the last in
his mind at night, the first to greet
him on waking. Now he sat up un-
til worn out with work and loss Of
sleep. And If then sleep would not
come. he counted sheep jumping over
a wall, watched water falling from
high precipice down = down-or
reached out his hand for the opiate
that stood always at hand. Anything
was better than the hopelessness of
memory.
Perhaps the hardest part was the
utter loneliness of it all. He had
turned to Helen with every pleasure
or sorrow. Now he was called upon
to face the greatest sorrow of his life
alone-absoiutely alone. He seemed
to have lost the sense of human kim
ship.
Sometimes sudden sight would
touch his heart-two lovers walking
together. He would follow them as
long as he dared. noting every glance
and gesture between them. 1t COM
