garet Is good person to advise her
about forgiving Harry"
DR.. Millions laugh was tinged with
bitterness.
Margaret told NO. continued
think that Doris had called upon her
and that she did not want to advise
her in any way. And, although she
had Intended coming over immedi-
ately, she was now rather undecided
because she did not want to meet
Hahhy Glendening's WIFE"
did she say anything about Glen
deninge" The sick mans voice vi
brated with anxiety.
Nothing that would commit her in
any way
Il must see her. JIM I must know
whether her infatuation with that
smile of Glendening's has left a scar
that can never be healed.
Take wire for me. Jim. That's q
good friond."
Silently Clsvering took the pad of
telegraph blanks from the table and
looked at his friend interrogatively.
There was silence for a moment-
then DR.. Milton diotated.
The hope of seeing you soon
makes my pain very bearable. VIII
you not come to me. Margaret. be-
fore another operation, that I am
almost sure Is Inevitable. At last
want to tell you tho whole truth"
As though he had finished all that
he wanted to say until he should see
Margaret Earle, DR.. Milton closed his
eyes. Clavering left the room in ST.
lence As he summoned the messen-
ger he tried to realize what the emo
lions of woman might be who
would receive two kilograms so sim-
liar as were the two that he had
just sent Margaret Eagle from the
two men who felt they could not
live without her.
Halfway down the avenue he
passed Doris with Davis. They pulled
I'M at the curb. Get in, Mr.. Claver-
ing" Doris urged. 81 want to hear
about Harry Mr.. Davis tells me rnar
he will be well enough to see me
tomorrow"
Clavering looked In CONSERVATION
at Davis but his friend had his eyes
stoically upon something In the dis
lance
Never having been married, Mr..
Clavering, am afraid you can't pus-
sibly understand how important y Is
to Harry's welfare and his peace of
mind that 1 should be with him at
this time to tell him that / have for
given him"
Then it is all buried from sight"
said Clavering a little brusquely.
1T Is buried In my heart" Doris
whispered pathetically in return.
Clavering who was sitting in the
tonneau felt that Davis back was al
most eloquent but Doris was per-
fectly unconscious and evidently
particularly satisfied with the i'm
preston she supposed she was max
ing upon the two men.
Il was in hopes that Margaret
Earle would be here to accompany
me on my visit to Harry"
The car swerved so quickly that
Clavering was almost thrown off the
seat
For heavens sake what Is the
matter. Davis?" shouted Clavering
Didn't you see those rocks
ahead" asked Davis, pointedly, with
double entender.
Il didn't see them" said Doris.
You wouldn't see them. They were
not where you could see them"
well, anyway 1 am glad we did
not hit them" was Clavering's re-
joinder.
"Oh, almost forgot How is Dr..
Milton? Didn't I read somewhere
that he had to have a skin grating
operation?"
yes. I have just notified the sur
geon that would be one of the men
to donate"
Jim. you can't have all the credit.
I made the same offer" said Davis.
How you men stand up for one
another" observed Doris. Il wonder
If have woman friend who would
donate any of her skin to me-"
