Not only that, the people here
would know nothing Of The acci-
dent and his suspense would be
still further prolonged. He made
inquiries after the only fy in the
place, but 1t was already engaged,
so he had no choice but to walk.
He set of at a brisk pacsup the
steep, white road, where the
hedges on either side rose green
and refreshed by the rain. and the
air was sweet with country scents.
As he reached the top re caught
sight Of the sea for the first time,
and for a moment he paused.
It lay calm and beautiful In the
glow Of the setting sun, stretching
as far as the eye could reach. The
storm was over and sky and sea
were cloudless and content. The
violent but brief Summer tempest
had cleared the air, and only a lit
tie restlessness in the gray-blue
water told Of what had been. Con-
tent? Yes, now that It had done
all the mischief It could; now that
it had wrecked and tortured all
within its reach.
Estcourt thought that he would
never be able to look at the sea
again without a shudder. He met
no one, for it was getting late for
the village folk, and he walked on
and on In a steady, mechanical
way, as a prisoner might walk the
treadmill. Not with feVerish haste,
for that would defeat its own pur.
pose, but. never waiting a moment
after that one pause by the sea.
He skirted the village, for he did
not wish to meet anybody now. He
would be afraid to look them in the
face for fear Of what he might find
there. He climbed the cliH where
Felicity had walked with Paul Del
acour, and at last he stood looking
down on the cottage at Little
Haven. At last!
So near his destination, his cour-
age failed him; he had not the
strength to 80 on. He stood there,
waiting and watching. II only he

Felicity was naturally frightened
when It got late and Norah hadn't
returned, so she wired to you
Even If there has been an accident
she may come back safely-pray
God she mayI"
The tears were running down her
cheeks, but EstcOurt looked at her
with dry eyes.
"Supposing she should 7eVer re-
turn?" he said, still in the same
unnatural voice, and his set, white
face never changed, though his
eyes shOne with a wild light. 'That
I should send her away is one
thing; to have her taken beyond
any power to get back-though I
prayed day and night, though /
offered anything and everything

mind 20 the exclusion Of every

that all was well!
But the soft Summer twilight
grew deeper, and stiIl he watched
IN vain. No one came out; no
human sound broke the stiffness.
Only he could hear the sea on the
beach below. tapping, tapping.
Il can't gO-I cant!" he nut
tered, hoarsely.
How would he find her? Would
she be lying with closed eyes and
wet, clinging garments, the salt
water dripping from her hair?
Would he call to her in vain?
Would he take her cold hand and
find It unresponsiVe to his touch?
And whisper all his love and sor-
row and find that she did not heed?
It would be for him then to speak
In vain. To call and have no an
sWer.
He stumbled blindly down the
cliff until he stood at the familiar
little garden gate. He went up the
path to the house and his heart
sank within him. It was all in
darkness.
Surely II Norah. had come back

inous silence! Somebody would
have heard his footsteps and run
out to meet him with the good
tidings.
The hall door stood open and he
went in. There was no one about.
He went softly up the stairs,
scarcely knowing what he did.
Then he heard tho murmur Of
voices-FeIicity's and Marle's-and
a passionate sobbing-Felicity's.
Estcourt drew himself up like a
man who had been shot. It seemed
to him that he knew an without a
word That was what the silence
and darkness meant; everything
else would be forgotten in the one
great calamity. They were mourn
ing for the dead-for his wife,
Norah.
InstinctiVely he made for her
room, as a wounded animal hides
itself away. He craved for the
comfort even the inanimate things
that had belonged to her could give

other; one fact blazed before his
eyes and shut out everything else.
Norah was in danger. Norah
might have gone beyond any power
Of recall, where nothing mattered
any more. The forgiveness for
which she had pleaded with tears
and entreaties might be a worth
less gift now, coming-as so many
gifts do-toO late.
He wondered what Ehe had
thought and felt; whether she had
had time to suffer. He set his teeth
as he thought Of her at the mercy
Of the storm; alone, perhaps, IN her
last extremity, sobbing and pray
ing. She was so frail and helpless;
she had not Felicity's nerve and
courage. She could not fight for
her life.
He flung himself out Of the cab
and hurried into the station.
A train was on the point Of de-
parture and he secured an empty
compartment. He could not have
borne to be shut up with others

idle chatter Of happier people

ing in their hearts all the time,
who were not afraid Of what they
might find at their journeys end.
He realized his surroundings so
little that he was taken BY surprise
when he found that he had arrived,
although his thoughts had far out
run the train. UncOnsciousiy he
drew a deep breath as Of a man
who braces himself for a strain.
Then he stepped out on the, plat.

The sea had given her back,
then, when It had robbed her Of
life. Il had tossed her aside like
other wreckage, and they had
found her and brought her home.
He went nearer and dropped on his
knees BY the silent figure, hiding
his face in the coverlet
AS he knelt there, too stunned
By grief to think or feel acutely,
only conscious Of a great void, an
overpoWering desolatiOn, he fan
cied something stirred, that there
was a slight movement under his
arms.
He fell back with a start, breath
ing quickly. It was nearly dark
now and he could not see anything
distinctly. Then he bent toward
her.
It was a mad fancy, OF course,
nothing more; but he felt impelled
to satisfy himself, though he
shrank from turning down the
cover that hid the face he loved.
He could not bear to think that it
might be changed almost past rec
gognition-the beauty blotted out
the fear and anguish Of the last
moment stamped on It indelibly
by the hand Of death.
He touched her reVeFently, as
one touches something strange and
impressive, drawing the eOVerlet
slowly away from the bright head.
How often he had caressed that
wonderful hair! Then his
fingers grlpped the cOverlet, as
It were something to which

Then she stopped and picked up

floor
When she read 1t her face ex-
pressed almost as much horror and
dismay as his. The message was
from Felicity and It ran as follows:
"Norah caught in storm out sail

For a minute neither spoke.
They sat half-stunned with a ter
