at would be well for you and
your little son to see him here
once before his return home. He
remembers having seen Vance
here; of you he has no recolloc-

Kindly notify me upon receipt
of this as to the day and hour of
your visit.
Yours respectfully,
MORRIS UNDERWOOD"
George Circuits wife locked
herself in her room and sat down
alone to face her problem. Even
in the anxieties and fears of the
first weeks after the murder she
had not, in her widest moments,
conjectured anything so terrible as
the reality confronting her.
She must take a strange man
into her home as her husband! as
Vance's father!
She had thought the game end
ed-and it had only begun!
And somehow she must win. To
lay down her hand now was to lose
no less fully than she should lose
at any time.
ht-Wit-Nervei" These
were the<three magic possessions
that must now be hers. She was
fighting for her boys future.
Fighting. She would fight-fairly,
If she could, but fight somehow
to save her boy from knowing him
self the son of a murderer.
She rose from her silent con-
ference and wrote briefly to Doc
tor Underwood that she would ar
rive at the sanatorium the next
morning at eleven o'clock. She
then gave orders to open the town
house on the same day, and to
close the Mamaroneck house as
soon as could be done thereafter.
To Mrs. Lorme she explained the
reason for this.
II want no tragic memories con-
nected with this place." she said
unsteadily. II have never been as
unhappy here as in town. George
never came here"
Not hei" exclaimed her friend.
He wanted Saratoga, when there
was horse racing. or Narragansett
or Atlantic City"
Gail did not heed her outbreak.
Kate" she said softly, Vance
is wild with Joy because his
father is coming home"
And that pleases youi" ejacu-
lated Mrs. Lorme, in amazement.
II was clutching at straws. That
Vance should be happy, IL only for
q little while, seemed something
to offset my misery"
But why be miserable, dear?
Why should you not divorce
George and have your liberty? You
are young, with love and happiness
your due"
Calls lips parted over a moan.
She walked back and forth, her
tired brain still struggling with its
burden of thought.
"Ohl | am SO afraid to go OH
somehow that's the reason /
must. I gave Vance his father.

"I-what I did,"
"Yes-you. It is inconceivable
that | should have been faithless
to you unless you goaded me to 1t

But there was still Vance. No!

that I dishonored you and my
boy"
She felt herself Keeling. She
had not before thought of the
cruelty of imposing George Or
QUITS past on an innocent man.
Don't stare at me sol" she
cried out impulsively, then red
dened at a rudeness she had not
intended, and at his still searching
gaze.
81 can't help it. To tell the
truth, I'm so befuddled l don't
know just how to act. You're as
strange to me as though l had
never seen you before-yet, you're

He walked to the window, re-
turned, looked down at her curl
ously.

tenderness sweep over me that

of an affection that once existed
between u.s."
Another expression lighted his
countenance, an intensity of long
ing.
"Ah-that past!-to find it
again. This battling of memory
is maddening!" He looked at her
steadily. "Doubly maddening,
now that you are part Of that
past and have been your hus-
band and lover. We"
He stopped before the tremu-
lous cry that escaped her and the
bushes that crimsoned her face
from hair to neck-band. He
laughed, with a sort of boyish en-
joyment in her discontinue.

voice.

was a baby. She was brought up
by her father and an old Brazilian
nurse. From the time Gail could
ask for a story she was fed on ro-
nance by the old Carlotta. All!
those were strange tales she
heard.-but in all, love was the
central theme.

forward, face lowered to a line
with hers-"have you anything to

Gail sat silent. She felt her
courage oozing from out her pores.
A deadly nausea assailed her. Doc
tor Underwood was waiting for her
to speak-and she could not!

Face pressed against the win
dow, Vance peered in for an in
slant, his eyes brimming with glee.
He was accompanied by a hospital
attendant, who was conducting
him to his father.

He flushed as he pronounced
her name, his eyes on hers in
somewhat abashed questioning.
She started violently, and
stepped back.

a flicker of humor about his lips.

Doctor Underwood, a big, hulk
ing man, sat opposite Gail in his
