There was no mention of Challis

the letter that could have betrayed
their joint secret to the most acute
outsider, and yet she would under
stand that he had wrung everything
from Sara's lips. Her secret was his.
He decided that it would not be safe
to anticipate the letter by a cable
gram. It was not likely that any mes
sage he could send would have the
desired effect. Instead of reassuring
her, in all probability it would create
fresh alarm.
Sleep did not come to him until after
three o'clock. At two he got up and
deliberately added a postscript to the
letter he had written. 1t was in the

now, Brandon"
"She can't!" he cried. An instant
later his face fell. by Jove, IL sup

She whirled on him angrily. The

it? Don't be fool!"

CHAPTER XVIII.
Disturbing Newp,


He walked home swiftly through
the early night, his brain seething with
tumultuous thoughts. The revela
tons Of the day were staggering; the
whole universe seemed to have turned
topsy-turvy since that devastating
hour at Burton's inn. Somehow he
was not able to confine his thoughts
to Hetty Castleton alone. She seemed
to sink into the background, despite
the dissolution he had been so ready
SO eager to grant her on hearing the
story from Sara's lips. Not that his
resolve to search her out and claim
her in spite of everything was likely
to weaken, but that the absorbing fig.
ure of Sara Wrandall stood out most
clearly in his reflections.
What an amazing creature she was!
He could not drive her out of his
thoughts, even when he tried to con.
centrate them on the one person who
was dearest to him Of all in all the
world, his warm-hearted, adorable
Hetty. Strange contrasts suggested
themselves to him as he strobe along
head bent and shoulders hunched. He
could not help contrasting the two
women. He loved Hetty; he would
always love her, of that he was posi-
tive. She was Sara's superior in ev.
cry respect. infinitely so, he argued
And yet there was something in Sara
that could crowd this adored one, this
perfect one out of his thoughts for the
time being. He found it difficult to
concentrate his thoughts on Hetty
Castleton.
How white and Ill Sara had looked
when she said good night to him al
the door! The memory of her dark
mysterious eyes haunted him; he
could see them in the night about him
They had been full of pain; there were
torrents of tears behind them. They
had glistened as IL FURNISHED by the
fires of fever
Even as he wrote his long, trium-
plant letter to Hetty Castleton, the
picture of Sara Wrandall encroached
upon his mental vision. He could not
drive 1t out He thought Of her as
she had appeared to him early in the
spring; through all the varying stages
Of their growing intimacy; through the
interesting days when he vainly tried
to translate her matchless beauty by
means of wretched pigments; up to
this present hour in which she was
revealed. and yet not revealed, to him.
Her vivid face was always before him.
between his eyes and the thin, white
paper on which he scribbled so eager
ly. Her feverish eyes were looking
into his; she was reading what he
wrote before 1t appeared on the sur
face Of the sheet!
His letter to Hetty was a triumph
Of skill and diplomacy, achieved after
many attempts. He found it hard not
to say too much, and quite as difficult
not to say too little. He spent hours
over this all-important missive. At
last 1t was finished. He read and re-
read it, searching for the slightest
flaw: fatal word or suggestion that
might create in her mind the slightest
doubt as to his sincerity. She was
sure to read this letter a great many
times. and always with the view to
