Carlotta had set the hour for meet
Ing Wilson at nine, when the late dusk
Of summer had fallen; and she met
him then. smiling. a family perfumed
white figure, slim and young. with a
thrill In her voice that was only half
assumed.
TITS very late" he complained.
Surely you are not going to be back
at ten"
II have special permission to be out
late"
.'Goodi" And then, recollectlng their
new situation: "We have lot to talk
over. It will take time"
At the White Springs hotel they
stopped to ill the gasoline tank of the
car. Joe Drummond saw Wilson there,
In the sheet-iron garage alongside of
the road. The Wilson car was in the
shadow. It did not occur to Joe that
the white figure In the car was not
Sidney. He went rather white, and
stepped out of the zone of light. The
influence Of LIE Moyne was still on
him, however, and he went on quietly
with what he was doing. But his hands
shook as he filed the radiator. He
had been an ass; LIE Moyne was right.
He'd get away-to Cuba If he could
and start over again. He would forget
the Street and let 1t forget him.
The men in the garage were talking.
ITO Schwitter's, Of course" one of
them grumbled.
THAT was Wilson. the surgeon in
town. He used to come here. Now
he goes on to Schwitter's. Pretty girl
he had with him."
30 Max Wilson was taking Sidney to
eehwitter's, making her the butt Of
garage talk! The smiles Of the men
were evil. Joe's hands grew cold his
head hot. A red mist spread between
him and the line of electric lights. He
knew Schwitter's. and he knew VIII
ron. When K, growing uneasy, came
out into the yard. he was In time to
zee Joe run his car into the road and
turn It viciously toward Schwitter's.

K promised to watch the door.
A desperate thing had occurred to
Carlotta. Somehow, she had mot
thought Of II before. Now she won
dered bow she could have failed to
think Of It. She went to the stan and
confronted them. They were men Of
courage. only declining to undertake
what they considered hopeless work.
The one man among them who might
have done the thing with any chance
of success lay stricken. Not one
among them but would have given OF
his best-only his best was not good
enough.
TT would be the Edwardes opera
ton. wouldn't it?' demanded Cariotta.
The staff was bewildered. There
were no rules to cover such conduct
The Dolores star., 1917-06-22


When Joe suddenly announced his
inclination to go out into the country
after all, LIE Moyne suspected ruse to
get rid Of him. and insisted on going
along. Joe consented grudgingly.
Cars ut Bailey's garage" he said
sullenly. II don't know when I'll get
back"
That won't matter" ks tone was
cheerful. I'm not sleeping, anyhow"
That passed unnoticed until they
wore on the highroad, with the car
running smoothly between following

and lie Moyne called him to time
gternly.
They had supper at the White
Springs hotel-not on the terrace, but
In the little room where Carlotta and
Wilson had taken their first meal to-
gether. Joe submitted with bad grace,
but the meal cheered and steadied
him. q. found him more amenable to
reason. and, gaining his confidence.

At the rear Of the house she shook
of his arm and preceded him around

There was moderate excitement.
The visitors at Schwitter's were too

replied rather heavily: IF any, 1t
would be the Edwardes operation"
would Doctor Edwardes himself
be able to do anything?"
This was going little far.
POSSIBLY. One chance In a thou
sand, perhaps. But Edwardes Is dead.
How did this thing happen. Miss Har-

She ignored his question. Her face
was ghastly. save for the trace Of
rouge; her eyes were red-rimmed.

nounced.
Her voice rang out. X. heard her

then! He was to take up the old bur
den. The girl had told.
Doctor Ed had sent for Sidney. She
thought 1t was another operation, and
her spirit was Just little weary. But
her courage was indomitable. She
forced her shoes on her tired feet, and
bathed her face in cold water to rouse
herself.
The night Waterman was In the hall.
He was fond of Sidney; she always
smiled at him: and, on his morning
rounds at six o'clock to waken the
nurses, her voice was always amiable.
So she found him in the hall. holding
cup Of tepid coffee. He was old and
bleary. Enthusiastically dirty. too-but
he had OWNED Sidney's romance.
Coffee! For me?" She was aston
ished.
''Get 1t down."
SO she finished it. not without anxi-
