Hearts of T'OO
CHAPTER 163
CHAFIEN IOO TNHE reOular breathing continued broken only by the occasions


 THE regular breathing continued, broken only by the occasional
 gasp that Marian had so often noticed. The face on the pillow seemed to the overwrought girl to have hs- tening expression.
 Pushing her chair aside, she knelt hv the he'd and buried her face in the bedcIothes. In the silence she seemed very close to her father and to her mother. Her mother had been dead for years. Her father was alive but his spirit might be as far off as her mothers. Yet-perhaps both father and mother were near, very near, try inr to make her feel what they could not say to her. .,
 This thought gave her strength, brought her comfort. After all, what ever was before her, she could never really lose her parents love.
 When at last she heard footsteps on the path under the window, she arose from her knees, set the chair back Tn its accustomed place, then laid her cheek against her fathers cheek.
 q have had a lovely hour with you, dear dad!" she whispered. "A sweet hour with you-and with mother.
 The regular breathing stopped sud denly, and there was a strange gurg- ling sound from the stricken mans throat--a sound that was like strangled moan.
 "Dad!" the girl calculated. "What is it--oh, what is it?"
 She bent anxiOusly over the bed, but there was no change of expression on the invalids face. At that instant Mrs. Fisher came into the room.
 "What is the matterT she asked as Marian turned blanched countenance to her.
 "Oh-he made such queer noise almost as if he were trying to cry out but choked-or strangled! '! the girl explained excitedly.
 II know" Mrs. Fisher nodded. He has done that every once in Whlle during the past few days. l mentioned it to Dr. Hagen when he was here that day-but he said it was only a reflex contraction of the muscles or something of that kind. He advised me not to say anything to you or your sister about it unless one of you heard it. l hoped you would not-for it does sound dread full"
 Tt is not bad sight deosp't mean anything% the girl insisted, her hands tightly cIenched.
 Mot a thing" the attendant replied comfortably. Don't you worry, my dear. Your fathers in just as safe a condition as he has been in since first came. A little weaker at times, perhaps, but still, considering every thing, his pulse keeps up very we'll"

But this isn't house party"
 ''No, of course not, but with Harry Nodine and me both here it is sort of one, isn't it?"
 How did you happen to know that Harry was here?" asked Carol.
 "Why-why, didn't know he was here right now, though come to think of it, heard George Requier say that Tom expected his brother to stop on his way to the coast. didn't know whether it was Harry or Toms married broth er."
 "No, of course you didn't know" said Carol in an odd tone.
 We had jolly game of bridge that evening and golf the next morning. felt that Carol must be glad to have me there to entertain her handsome brother-in-law, who is used to the very smartest society in the east.
 What are you doing down there, Miss Lucile" he called to me from the porch which overlooks the little lake on which the Nodine place borders.
 ''Oh. I've had a glorious swim, and now wish to row out on the lake and dry my hair. You missed it, not com ing in bathing" I shouted gayly. This idea of writing letters on' an afternoon like this"
 "There are some correspondents who can't be neglected"
 Come down and row me across the lake," I begged prettily. Its so love ly, kind sir, in the late afternoon"
 "Isn't that the craft that Tom said he had just painted?"
 "Yes, it's most invitingly clean and fresh," I answered.
 And dry?" he Queried.
 Certainly" declared, and in a mo- ment more he was pulling me, with long, steady strokes, across the lake.
 We had delightful chat, and when about anN hour later we reached the boat, and he tried to rise, he seemed to be glued to the seat
 "By love, I'm afraid this green paint is still wet" he exclaimed.
 "Oh, what a shamep I cried when he finally rose. q had no idea that paint was still sticky. It's too bad"
 He made no reply, though he looked ruefullYsat his white coat sleeves on which were green stains, and at his trousers, which were also daubed in green. While I was dressing for din- ner Carol came up to my room and asked me why in the world I had let Harry go out in the boat in his beauti- full white broadcloth suit.
 T didn't know the paint would come off, Carol" I said. Tt didn't hurt my bathing suit"
 Your bathing suit is green,'' she re- marked tersely. "Harry had that suit made in London last year for his we'd ding outfit"
 ''Wedding?"
 "Yes, Lucille. I fear you had the brothers little confused. Harry is the married one. Amy, his wife, is with her father who is ill. He writes to her every day"
 Really? He is a model of devotion, isn't hep I said. And Carol just laughed in that disagreeable way she has at times.
