asked her, while his eyes looked
steadily into her clear, sparkling ones.
Principally because the dearest
brother in the world was saved to me
by the generous transmission which
vas offered him by man who was
down and out. l have always vowed
to seek and seek until could give q
life for life and in some way repay
the great debt of gratitude. The man

And you have given your life to

God willing. will build up this physi-
cal body of mine so that my name will
one day appear on the surgeons list
that is honored by yours. I, too. will
plan to give life for a life."
When she had left him Cranborn
realized that from the moment of
her coming into his life he had
seemed to be different man. Was
1t her influence or merely the awak-
ening of the latent ambition within
him? He chose TO attribute the change
to Edith McVicker and her wonder
full fund OF human sympathy. That
she was happier for having saved
his life was more than evident in
the calm JOY that radiated through
her being. She had not so definitely
expressed that feeling at the first
meeting, and Cranborn knew that II
doing good makes one SO completely
happy. then good it was that he in
tended to do. He smiled softly In
silent condemnation of the idle poor
the circle from which he had flown.
Perhaps, then, a year or two later.
the happiest day of his life occurred
when he saved life and felt the
same radiance flooding his being
that Edith Mcvicker had felt when
she had given life blood to dying
man.
Cranborn had been riding his mare
in the early morning when a second
mare, frightened by the din OF a
motorcycle, dashed toward him. Gran
born had only time to grasp the sit
uation. see the rocky precipice over
which the frightened mare would
hurl her rider and to swing himself
like flash from the saddle.
He opened his eyes after being
dragged and looked straight into
Edith McYicker's own. He felt her
sigh of relief.
Il thought / was never going to
find you." was all Cranborn said In
the first dazed moment. He was
dazed principally because the girls
soft fingers were trailing over the
bruise on his forehead just as they
had often trailed In the dreams he
had of her
I'VE seem destined to keep each
other In the land OF the living, the
girl said trifie unsteadiiy, for aside
from the shock OF that frightened
horse Cranborn's eyes were gazing
wonderingly at her. A deep color
sprang into her cheeks
I'VE can make them lives that are
well worth saving Tiff you could
love me. have been most successful
since you came into my life and 1
have wanted to tell you that and
something else for-well at least for
two years"
Edith laughed softly and remem-
bered the many hours she had sat try
Ing to think OF someone except the
man In the hospital who had tried
to refuse to permit her blood to be
transfused into his veins.
Two years is a frightfully long
time" she said with eyes that en-
couraged an immediate making up for
lost time.
