face, and the way her hair grew; the pure
line Of the cheek, and the angle which the
head was set on to the column Of her

her.

CHAPTER xxx.
The End to All Joy.

= ATE that night, in the old panelled
library at Bracondale, Hector walked
- up and down. He, too, was suffer
ing. suffering intensely, his only grain OF
comfort being that he was alone. His
mother was away in the north with Anne,
and he had the place to himself In his
hand was Theodora's letter. AS Josiah
had calculated, knowing cross-country
posts. both his and hers had arrived at
the same time
Hector paced and paced up and down,
his thoughts maddening him.
And so three people were unhappy now
not he and his beloved one alone This
was the greater calamity.
But how he had misjudged Josiah! The
common, impossible. husband had behaved
with a nobility. a justice. and forbearance
which he knew his own passionate nature
would not have been capable Of II had
touched him to the core. and he had writ
ten at once in reply, enclosing Theodora's
letter about the arrival of the train
a"Dear Sir-I am overcome with your
generosity and your justice. / thank you
for your letter and for your magnanimity
in forwarding the enclosure it contained
/ understand and appreciate the senti-
ment you express when you say had you
been younger you would have killed me,
and on my side would have been happy
-. to offer you any satisfaction you might
have wished, and am ready to do so now
If you desire it.
AT the same time, would IKE you to
- know, in deed, have never injured you.
Ny deep and everlasting grief will be
that / have brought pain and sorrow into
the life of lady who is very dear to us
both My own life Is darkened forever
as well, and / am going away out of Eng
land for a long time as soon as / can
make my arrangements. I will respect
YOUR desire never to inform your wife
of her mistake, and / will not trouble
. either of you again. Only, by a later
post, intend to answer her letter and
saw farewell.
Believe me, yours truly,
'BRACONDALE."
,, This he had dispatched some hours ago,
but his last goodbye to Theodore was not
vet written. What could he say to her?
How could he tell her of all the misery and
anguish, all the pain which was racking
his being; he, who knew life and most
things it could hold, and so could Judge
Of the fact that nothing. nothing, counted
sAow but herself-and they should meet no

all was that Theodora's nose was fine, and
not so heavy and Greek; otherwise he had
her there in front of him-his Theodore,
his gift of the GODS his Psyche, his soul.
And wherever he should wander-if in
widest Africa or furthest India, in Alaska
or Tibet-this little fragment of white
marble should bear him company. 1t
calmed him to look at 1.-THE beautiful
Greek thing.
Then he sat down and wrote to his loved
one his goodbye. He told her OF his sor-
row and his love, and how he was going
away from England. he did not yet know
where, and should be absent many months,
and how forever his thoughts from distant
lands would bridge the space between
them, and surround her with tenderness
and worship.
And her letter, he said, should never
leave him-her two letters; they should be
dearer to him than his life. He prayed her
to take care of herself, and If at any time
she should want him to send for him from
the ends Of the earth. Bracondale would
always find him, sooner or later, and he
was hers to order as she willed.
And as he had ended his letter before,
so he ended this one now:
For ever and ever your devoted
LOVER"
After this he sat for a long time and
gaZed out upon the night It was very
dark and cloudy, but in one space above
his head two stars shone forth for a mo-
The Washington times., 1918-08-11

And Jane Fitzgerald, left to herself, heaved
a great sigh.
Next day, after this CHEEKY pair had
gone, things seemed to take a deeper
gloom.
The mention of Hector's name and
whereabouts had reused Theodora's dor
mant sorrows into activity again; and with
all her will and determination to hide her
anguish, Josiah could perceive an added
note of pathos in her voice at times and
less and less elasticity in her step.
Once he would have noticed none of
these things, but now each shade of differ
ence in her made its impression upon him.
And so the time wore on, their hearts
full OF an abiding grief
When October set in Josiah caught a
bed for days and days. He did not seem
very Ill. and assured his wife he would be
all right soon; but by November, Sir Bald
win Evans, who was sent for hurriedly
from London. broke it gently to Theodore
that her husband could not live through
the Winter. He might not even live for
many days. Then she wept bitter tears.
Had she been remiss in anything? What
could she do for him? Oh, poor Josiah!
And Josiah knew that his day was done.
as he lay there in his splendid, silk-cur-
tanned bed. But life had become of such
small worth to him that he was almost
glad.

going to lead the life they both loved. of
continual movement and change and
sayety.
But the situation at Bessington dis
tressed her
why, my dear. they are. just like q
couple of sick paroquets," she said to her
husband. "Mr Brown don't look long for
this world, and Theodore is a shadow,
What in the Lords name has been happen
ing to them?"
But Dominic could not enlighten her.
Before they left she determined to ascer-
tain for herself.
The last evening she said to Theodore,
who was bidding her goodnight in her
room:
Il had a letter from your friend Lord
Bracondale last week, from Alaska. He
asks for news OF you. Did you see him
after he came from Paris? He was only
a short while in England. understand"
"Yes. we saw him once or twice." said
Theodore, 'and we made the acquaintance

"He always seemed to be very fond of
her. Is she a nice sort Of woman"

was no further talk Of a second honey
moon.
Theodora's tenderness and devotion
never tagged. II her heart was broken
she could at least keep her word, and try
to make her husband happy. And so each
one acted a part, with much zeal for the
others welfare.
1t was anguish to Josiah to see his wife's
sweet face grow whittier and thinner; she
was so invariably bright and cheerful with
MIN, so considerate OF his slightest wish.
His pride and affection for her had
turned into sort of alteration as the days
wore on. He used to watch her silently
from behind a paper, or when she thought
ne slept. Then the mask of smiles fell
from her, and he saw the pathetic droop
OF her young. fair head and the mournful
gloom that would creep into her great,
blue eyes.
And he was the stumbling-bl to her
happiness. She had sent away the man
she loved In order to stay and be true to
him, to minister to his wants, and do her
utmost to render him happy. Oh, what
could he do for her in return? What DOS
sibIe thing?
He laVished gifts upon her; he lavished
gifts upon her sisters, upon her father;
their welfare, he remembered, was part of
the bargain. At least she would know
these-her dear ones-had gained by 4,
and, so far. her sacrifice had not been in
vain.

And this thought comforted him. AnC
that night he died.
Then Theodore wept her heart out as
she kissed his cold. thin hand.

Hector almost staggered for q moment,

Then he took on his hat reverently. while
he said, in his deep, expressive voice:
"Thereslived no greater gentleman"
And Captain Fitzgerald wondered II he
were mad or what he could mean, as he
watched him stride away down the street.
But when he told his wife. she under
