to his feet was galvanic. He under

full comprehension; understood the
doctor, the nurse, his fellow-drivers'
embarrassed reticence, and Miss Car

CHAPTER xII.-(Continued.)


The acute question pierced deep.
Out of Stanton's suffering leaped the
truth In a cry of vehement passion
and force.
II do not know! Jessica, Jessica
do not know! l want both love
you, want you for my wife; left with
him. I would have missed you. If
cared for you because you were like
him, if l see him now in you, what
matter? I tell you I want you. but
shall want him all my life. want the
one who rode beside me, the one who
stood with me through rough or
smooth, the one who knew me and |
him want my comrade, Jes Floyd"
The naked strength of pain, the
fierce cutlery of savage bereavement
left the atmosphere swept to primi-
tive clarity, free of all small things.
The girl drew herself erect, even her
lips colorless in her absolute pallor
but her eyes meeting him on his own
ground of desperate honesty, and
raised her hands to her head.
Stanton saw her lace sleeves fall
back, and a zigzag scar start into
view on her slender left arm. Like
bands of silk ribbon she unwound the
heavy braids of hair and flung them
aside, letting a mass of short, boyish,
bronze curls tumble about her fore
head.
There was no mistake possible, ever
again. He did not know that he spoke,
yet his cry reached the street below.
Floyd! Floyd"
81 am Floyd"
You"
II am Jessica."
The room reeled giddily, his vision
blurred. And as his composure went
down in chaos, her courage rose up to
aid his need.

passioned her earnest voice. I've
been dom wrong to you, while

into chair, dropping his face upon
his arm as it rested on the little tea
table.
You've got to bear it; there's only
me. But that's the only way I've de-
ceived you, Stanton" The rustic of

spirit of the New York fans was not
