What Has Robert Savarin Come to
Tell Lillian3

"Robert!'
Lillian sprang from her chair,
flashed past me as ! stood in the
doorway, and extended her hands
to the white-faced man who stood
there. For a moment she had for
gotten doubts, Quixotic scruples,
everything save the fact that the
man she loved had returned alive,
evidently uninjured, from across the
ocean.
But Robert Savarian, though his
burning eyes set in his ashen face
betrayed the alteration that was
consuming him, made no response
to the outstretched hands. Instead
he stepped backward pace or two
with gesture as OF actual repul-
sion.
NO" he muttered. and at the ut
terance of the word ! stepped
nearer to him, saw that old Betty
did the same thing. "I-I-only-
came-to-tell you-that-I-have-
have-f-"
The last word was only the faint
| ly aspirated consonant, and he was
swaying as it left his lips. Old
Betty and l moved by the same aid
ing impulse put out our arms to
catch him, but Lillian was quicker
than either Of US, and it was her
arms which received the slight fig
ure of the artist as he sank toward
the floor.

shared her fear, without giving
utterance to it as | looked at the
colorless face of Robert Savarin
resting against Lillian's shoulder.
As her arms received his full sag
ging weight she had sunk to her
knees, and as her eyes looked up at
mine l saw in them the reflection
of the same terror.
But there was something else in
those wonderful eyes, the indomit-
able courage with which Lillian
meets every emergency.
Betty, stop that noise, and take
the covers from the guest room

Leave nothing but one sheet, then
