fate would hold up forbidding hand and
stop the progress-like traffic cop. He
wondered what was the matter with his
soul. 1t felt sick.
CERRY'S soul felt sick, and all at once
- the diagnosis of his souls illness be-
came plain. Love and lie would not live
together-not for anybody-not for Gerry
Sands. He had not told her-her whom
he loved. He had convinced himself that
he loved her better than he loved himself;
he had said so to her. 1t was fake! He
was putting one over on the girl he
loved!
He pushed his feet against the floor of
the bouncing body of the taXicab; he
withdrew his hand from her warm. fever
ish fingers. He was bracing himself for
the last and best token of true love which
he could lay at the feet of Rose Carey.
Listen, Rose" he said fiercely I'm
down as a crook with the police!'
Gerry, /"
Don't say world" he commanded,
seizing her wrists. "You gotter know it
all. Now listen!"
He told her in fast, jerky sentences.
Sometimes he leaned away from her;
sometimes she might have felt the very
warmth of his words upon her own burn
ing cheeks.
You gotter know it all-all about mel"
he exclaimed. I'D ruther die than tell
yer, but you gotter know. Love amt
nothin' unless | tell you. and unless you
listen, We gotter go through with it.
And at last Gerry had finished He
had finished it all. His story his arrest,
his release on bail, his flight, his work in
Omaha, his talk with Applehauser-to the
last word. Even his adventure with the
girl in the fruit, candy, and soda shop
he told that; and then he buried his face
in his hands.
Gerry, she said softly.
He did not answer.
Gerry she said, and put her arm
around him.
He did not move.
Gerry she exclaimed. "Listen, dear.

That doesn't make any difference to me.
Love is loveH
And then suddenly, as if at the moment
of a great triumph, at the moment when
the soul of Gerry Sands felt itself in new
great warmth and its eyes had seen new
great light, the hand of destiny struck its
blow.
Young Sands felt Rose start away from
him. her arm was withdrawn. She fell
back into the corner, covered her face
with her pale hands, and her body shook
with sobs.

For answer she leaned forward and
raped on the window.

tugged at the handle of the door.
"What's the NATTER" he asked.
She only flung open the exit and stepped
out on to the curbing against which the
wheels of the motor-car came to rest
"Im on car line, she said in shaking
voice. 81 can get back home. Good-by.'
"Good-by!' gasped Gerry.
SHE was so white, so straight, so taut in
- every muscle that he was frightened.
Tie wondered III she WOulu tOpple over.
She appeared so alone in the world! He
could not speak, but he made a motion
with his hands.
1T was to get out of Chicago that you
said you loved me. How could you talk
like that? You just wanted to use me.
Love? Did you say lope''
She laughed bitterly.
Here's my car, she added, running
out on the crossing.
Gerry followed her. "Listen!7 he
exclaimed
II won't listen. | won't | WON'T
People were looking at them now.
Gerry felt the hot blood in his cheeks. A
man had alighted from the street car who
wore shabby derby hat and without
doubt, in Gerry's mind, was the same
man who had followed him from the
station after he had left Applehauser.
Gerry could feel the chill of fear in his
heart. And he had lost!
