 Then he continued:

 The girl started, and her eyes sought those of the speaker in amazed ques- tioning-

 lsYes,s = the man said with quiet enl- phasis, sT do mean just what I have I said. You shall see that ideal of yours J very soon. That promise you, my dear girl Yes, you are to meet the one that owes his life to you, yet doesn't even know your name. And you are to meet him speedily too.''
 Lucene,s eyes were like stars now, s1limnaering with the gusty joy of hel !. heart, and her lips wreathed to smile of delight

 When they took him away in the ambuiance,, she continued pensively l 1T was sure that he must die, in spite of what I had tried to do for him.
 ssAnd so he would have died,'' An drew said gravely, ssbut for you, <
