felt her old doubts and fears re-
turning. She was relieved when
Calligan consented to stay.
They laughed and talked together
so much that Philips silence passed
almost unnoticed; the time went so
quickly that Eva was surprised
when people began to leave and she
heard someone say that II was
nearly midnight
She rose then-hurriedly.

Philip caught her hand.

She gave in at once. VERY

There was a hint of impotence
in his voice.
Mrs. winterdick kissed Eva affec-
tionately-she was pleased with the
way in which the evening had
passed off.
Phil, are you sure the child Is
sufficiently wrapped up?"
I'm all right" Eva assured her.
And it's such a little way"
"If I'd got an old shoe, I'd throw
IL after you" Calligan said.
He followed them out to the car.
He appealed to a girl standing close
by; Anyone got a shoe to spare
or some rice?"
Eva laughed as she clsmbered in
beside Philip. "You are two days too
soon," she said. She peeped out at
him from under the hood. For face
looked very sweet and happy.
Calligan sighed and his eyes
clouded a little as they met hers.
He had been wondering all the
evening why he had only met this
girl now, when IL was too late &.
The car started forward and dis
appeared into the darkness.
Philip did not speak till they were
out in the road. In the glare of the
great headlights the trees seemed
giant shadows swooping down upon
them from both sides
"Tired?" he asked.

But Manners was already very
sorry that he had spoken Of giving
Diana the divorce which she ina gined
would make her happy.

thought, "as she got over what's
his-name, as she got over me.
There'll be a hard time; she'll hate

and courage. But these were not
rnmixed with pessimism and fore
boding.

should turn out to be the real thing

He found that he was trembling
from head to foot. The night was
cold. The FIRE inlhis room had gone
out. And those inner fires which
might have sustained him through
a colder night than this had nothing
to feed on-nothing.
And my WIFE he thought, is

He had never been far away from

shrewd eyes had seen a gerat deal.
Calligan saw Eva's pallor and the
dark lines beneath her eyes saw the
way she kept clasping and unclasping
her hands nervously-the unsteadi-

He talked to her without making

spoke chiefly of Philip; about their

His thoughts Travelled in great
