The captain subsided. 'One for
Alan" he grunted.
The drinks came. Alan welcomed
his. He was tired and faint after the
long journey. The captain gazed on
his own glass defantly but ordered the
maid to set 1t on the table at his side.
Alan waited long for him to take 1t
up, and then he saw that the captain
had fallen asleep. Alan slipped his
drink. The captain was right, it was
favorless. But Alan remembered that
he had thrown away his last cigarette
for the same reason. He sighed.
In spite of the judge. Alix was feel
ing very lonely, abandoned, unloved.
She sat on the little veranda at the
back OF the town house and day
dreamed. Across her knee lay the
morning paper. A word caught her
eye. Elenic. Half unconsciously she
read: Among the arrivals by the
Elenfc -. /. Hon. Percy Collinge-
ford"
Coillngeford! She started to her feet
and then with what seemed a percep-
tible click her mind repeated, "Elenic." !"
She sat down again. The hand that
held the paper was trembling. She sat
for long time looking at her hand.
The telephone bell rang, but she did
not hear it. Old John came and stood
beside her.
tMr. Collingeford telephones to know
IL you are in town."
A frightened gleam showed In Allx'
eyes. 1t passed and a fame of color
came into her pale cheeks. EYES," she
said. Il am at heme. Tell him win

Collingeford lost no time. When he
arrived Alix was still sitting on the
veranda. She received him there. He
came upon her with a rush-like
fresh breeze. "What luckw he cried.

CHAPTER xxvll-continued.

Alan's eyes CLEANED with amuse-
ment at the rippling words. Alix was
certainly well. Then suddenly she COLI
tapsed in chair. ''Three years!" she
gasped. Her hands went up to hold
her head and she began to cry in a
way Alan had never heard woman
cry before. The gasping sobs racked
his nerves. He felt as though the sobs
were tearing their way up from his
own breast He gripped the arms OF
the chair in which he sat. His body
telephoned to his brain that he was
going to faint and at such astounding
news Ten Percent Wayne woke up and
took charge. "Alixv' the word snapped
out like the crack OF a whip. s'You
stop crying or I'll slap you. and when
slap ! slap hard.s
Alix choked, swallowed and looked
at him. outraged and unbelieving.
Alan's eyes were blazing. "You listen

be curious. But you can be sure Of
one thing; If Gerry had wanted me
to tell You his story he'd have asked
me to. but he didn't. He didn't even
ask me not to. He was standing In
deep waters, but he had his head and
shoulders out. He wasn't asking for
my or anybody else's hand to help
him up the bank. He didn't ask me
not to meddle because he knew was

closed his eyes.

mind to a dinner of long ago. when
she had defended Gerry's placid

thoughts. She looked curiously around

Days passed. She went out only for
exercise. Her mind was busy with

had Alan ON his hands. Alan was
