The Tavages OF his Illness were plainly
apparent. The big hands. white and
bony. dropped inertly from the chairs
arms. In his eyes was the tired, visit
full expression peculiar to fever con-
valescents. She felt in them still an
other quality. deep sadness bred of
no mere physical weakness.
He felt her gaze. His head turned
slowly to face her. He looked at her
wonderingly. without speaking His
hand brushed across his forehead in a
troubled gesture. as one would brush
aside dream that fingers overlong.
She strove to give her words con-
yentional tone.
"I'm glad you are recovering SO rap
idly, Mr.. McAdoo."
His face lighted up in an incredu-
lous eagerness.

He got to his feet uncertainty She
saw the effort it cost him in his weak
ness. She put her gloved hand in his:
he caught it in strong clasp.
"You mustn't stand.' she said anx-
iously. you aren't strong YET"
He sank back into his chair. AS he
did so the shawl fell from his Shout
ders. Tremblingly he stopped to re-
cover it. But she was swifter than he.
She threw it around him again. As
she drew her arm away it brushed
against him. For the first time their
eyes looked away.
She took the chair where Kathleen
had been. 1t was he who at last broke
the silence. The words fell haltingly,

Dunmeade was preparing to return

1t was the day when the doctors
finally pronounced Bob out of danger.
Mrs. Dunmeade had spent the after
noon with the Films. Eleanor turned
to her with an inquiring glance.

doctors say that unless relapse oc-

vent that-it is only matter of re

Eleanor made no answer But San
