TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT
Fifty. first chaptsr-contInued.

Didn't | say the river air would do
you good, dearest?" she said, and then
she added something else, which
would have been very sweet If it had
been meant sweetly, about there be-
ing no surer way to make a girl beau
tiful than to make her happy.
There was some talk of our dining
together that night, but l excused
myself, and taking leave Of Martin
who gave my hand a gentle pressure,
| ran upstairs without waiting for
the lift. being anxious to get to my
own room that l might be alone and
so over everything in my mind.
did so, ever so many times, re-
calling all that mad been said and
done by the commander and his COM
rades, and even by Treacle, but
above all by Martin, and laughing
softly to myself as I lived my day
over again in a world of dream.
My maid came in once of twice
with accounts of the gorgeous Derby
dinner that was going on downstairs,
but that did not matter to me in the
least, and as soon as l had swallowed
little food | went to bed early
partly in order 10 get rid of Price,
that might go over everything again
and yet again.
I must have done so far into the
night and even when the wings of
my memory were weary of their f1ut-
tering and ! was dropping off at last,
l thought ! heard Martin calling
"shipmate," and l said Yes" quite
loud. as if he had been with me still
in that vague and beautiful shadow
land which lies on the frontier OF
sleep.
How mysterious, how magical how
wonderful!
Looking back | can not but think
it strange that even down to that mo-
ment | did not really know what was
happening to me, being only con-
scious of a great flood of joy. l can
not but think it strange that though
Nature had been Whispering to me for
months, | did not know what it had
been saying. | can not but think it
strange that, though had been look
ing for love so long without finding
it, / did not recognize it Immediately
when it had come to me of itself
But when l awoke early in the
morning, very early, while the sun
rise was filing my bedroom with a
rosy flush. and the thought of Mar
tin was the first that was springing
from the mists of sleep to my con-
scious mind, and l was asking myself
how it happened that l was feeling
so glad while I had so many causes
for grief. then uddenly-suddenly
as the sun streams through the cloud
scud over the seal knew that what
had long been predestined had hap
pened that the wCndrous new birth,
the great revelation, the joyous mys-
terry which comes to every woman in
the world had come at last to me.
/ was in love.
/ was in love with Martin Conrad.

Fifty-second Chapter.

MY joy was short lived. No
N sooner had / become aware
that l loved Martin Conrad,
than my conscience told me | had
no right to do So | was married,
and to love another than my hus-
band was sin.
II would be impossible to say with
what terror this thought possessed
me. 1t took all the sunlight out of
my sky, which a moment before had
seemed so bright. 1t came on me like
a storm Of thunder and lightning
sweeping my happiness into the
abyss.
All my religion, everything | had
been taught about the sacrament of
marriage seemed to rise up and ac-
cuse me. 1t was not that | was con-
scious of any sin against my hus-
band. l was thinking only of my sin
against God.
The first effect was to make me
realize that 1t was no longer posi-
BILE for me TO speak to Martin about
my husband and Alma. To do this
now that l knew I loved him would
be deceitful, mean, almost treacher-
Gus
The next effect was to make me see
that all thought Of a separation must
now be given up. How could / ac-
cuse my husband when l was my
self in the same position? II he
loved another woman, loved another
man.
In my distress and fright l saw
only one means of escape either from
the filthy burden to which / was
bound or the consciousness of sin
f1l haQPf and that 70 m
self Of my passion. / determined to
do so. l determined to fight against
my love for Martin Conrad, to con-
quer it and to crush it.
My first attempt to do this was
feeble enough. 1t was an effort to
keep myself out of the reach OF
temptation by refusing to see Martin
alone.
For three or four days l did my
best to carry out this purpose, max
ing one poor excuse after another
when (as happened several times a
day. he came down to see me-that
| was going QUOT or had just come in
or was tired or unwell.
1t was tearing my heart out to de-
ny myself so, but / think | could
have borne the pain II | had not
realized that l was causing pain to
him also.
My maid, whose head was always
running on Martin, would come back
TO my room, after delivering one OF
nay lying excuses, and say;
You should have seen his face,
when l told him you were i'll. 1t was
just as II I'd driven knife into
him"
Everybody seemed TO be in a con-
spiracy to push me into Martins
arms-Alma above all others. Being
woman, she read my secret and
could see from the irst that she

There was no resisting that, Aai
down at the bottom Of my secre,
heart l was glad of the excuse to ny
conscience that | could not any longl
run away from Martin because ! was
necessary to help him,
So we sat together all day LONG, and
though it was like shooting the RAPID

imaginative speech, l did my best I
