Alan sank back Into the pillows. His
eyes wandered wistfully over the bare
walls, the high tiling of the strange
room. "'I would have, great gods! but

Lieber heard.
The words clutched at his own heart

And sleep 1t is." he added to himself

call you If anything happens"
Lieber rose reluctantly. "Don't fail
to call me-" he said. "1'll leave my
door open"
Gerry sat down in chair beside the
settle. He had not known how tired
he was himself. Soon he drowsed. His
head fell forward on his chest Sleep
came to him and then a great trouble
came to his sleep. He reused himself
from 4 nightmare and, suddenly wide
awake, found Alan's eyes dxed on his
face.

Gerry did not answer. His face be-

only Alan's eyes were alive, and to
Alan that Gerry had projected his
spirit to his bedside to watch him die.
! Alan tried to smile in defiance.
"Can't you speakr he whispsrsd

Gerry leaned forward. The question
he had to ask was stronger than he.
It forced its way through his lips.
ALAN, what did you do with her1 Tell

A troubled look came into Alan's thin
face. He frowned. "Do with her3 Do

'-Mr. lansing" said Lieber, you get

Gerry's lip trembled. You're right,
Lieber." he said. You're right, only
you don't know it all. That chap in
there-we were boys together. He ran
away with my wife. That's why"
Gerry suddenly stopped. Alix had not
run away. She had jumped of the
train. Where was she. then2 What
had she done through the years he
had been away? Why had she jumped
of the train. He struck his hand to
his head and stumbled of the We
randa.
Lieber's anger died in him, but
he turned and went back to Alan.
Two hours later he came out again
to find Gerry crouched on the veranda.
The spirit had gone out of him, but
he turned on Lieber with determi-
nation in his tired eyes, "You told me
to get out and haven't. There are
things I've got to know. I'll wait"
II spoke in haste, Mr.. Lansing" said
Lieber. 81 want you should forgive
me. You are all in, too. Come with
me-"
he led him into his own room. made
him lie down, and closed the shutters.
Gerry threw himself across the bed,
arms outstretched, face down. Lieber
slipped out and noiselessly shut the
door. Gerry lay exhausted. He could
not think any more. A great weight
lay on his BRAIN. The ten minutes
doze in the chair at Alan's bedside had
not been rest, but nightmare. Pres
entity he fell into sleep, deep sleep
that was all Inconsistencies
1t was almost night when he awoke
and with the awakening the weight
settled back on bis brain. only now he
had the strength to think In spite of 1t.
He got up and went out in search of
Lieber. Lieber heard him and came
out into the hall Gerry nodded
towards Alan's room. "lt's all right,
Mr. Lansing. He must have solid
mind. Your talk didn't excite him
didn't even disturb his sleep. He's on
the road up-weak. baby, but he's
started life again. He's asked for you
twice. Seems to have something he's
got to get of his chest to you. You'd
better 60 In"
Gerry sat down once more beside
Alan. The questions he must ask
crowded to his lips, but he forced them
back He tested his strength with res
olutions and held them. 1t was his
way Of reassuring himself. He want
ed to feel bis firmness rising in him to
meet the struggle he felt must come
when Alan spoke.
Alan knew he was there. He saw
him through half-closed eyes, but,
more than that he felt him. His
brows puckered in a, frown. It was
still hard to use words Gerry. last
