Of beds, and that one with the
ominous screen drawn round it.
Miss Varney was longing to hear
the whole story. She piled David
with hundreds of questions-how he
had found her, what had happened
He answered them as best he
could. but it was all such an effort.
What did the how and the
why" matter. when the au-absorb-
ing fact was accomplished and
irrevoCable?
If she We're to die, what did it
matter how her death had been
brought about?
Dora Fisher was hardly civil to

SO rude and off hand David, I am
so glad you never really liked that
girl At one time l thought you
were rather interested in her. 1 was
jreading that perhaps some day you
would ask her to marry you. 1 could
not have borne it, I could never have
lived in the house with her-not
that she would have wanted me, !
suppose" the old lady added sadly.
David colored He stood looking
out of the window into the sunshine.
He laughed rather mirthlessly.

CHAPTER LXI
COnValeScent

IT marry Dora! Good heavens.
What next?"
Miss Varney looked at his tall
figure doubtfully.
in her own heart she believed that
Dora was quite capable Of marry
ing David, whether he wished it or
not, but she wisely refrained from
comment
"Well. she might have been
kinder to me, anyway" she objected
plalntively. "She must have seen I
was in great trouble about Mary,
David, do you think she will dep
No answer. Miss Varney repeated
her question timidly.
He spoke then-spoke with such
passion that Miss Varney was star
tied. She had never believed him
capable Of much strong emotion; she
had always considered him rather
cold
eff she dies, I shall never forgive
myself or be happy again. If she
dies, it will be the end of everything
for me-"
"Davidp' Miss Varney's gentle
voice was, full of compassion. ION,
my poor David"
He dragged his composure togeth-
err. He looked at her half apologet-
ically.
I'm so sorry, dear, thought you
guessed that THAT L" He could
not go on.
Miss Varney fell to weeping
afresh.

my life. always thought how won

sion in her eyes, then she turned
slowly away.
She believed that Mary was dying.
She did not believe that she would
ever regain consciousness.
David had wired to Miss Varney
that Mary had been found. He did
not tell her how or when. but he
knew that she would come up to
town as soon as she possibly could.
lie stayed at the hospital all night.
They had drawn a screen round
Mary's bed now; and David sat there
in the almost unbearable silence
watching her in agonized suspense,
not daring to hope that she would
| ever speak to him again.
| 1t was too late! Often that knowl-
edge has broken mans heart-too
speak the word of simple understand
ing and comfort that might have
saved so much pain and suffering.
Dawn broke gray and chilly; it stole
into the long ward like a timid Wis
itor, gradually driving away the
shadows, and lighting uR the wan
faces of those who filled the narrow
/ beds.
David was cold and weary, but he
hardly knew it. H seemed to have
lived through a lifetime in that one
night. The face he lifted to the
nurse when she came round again
was gray and haggard.
GrUo,, +t,i1,Iy oh yrrilT
ter?"
There was hopeless despair in his
voice: she shook her head.
There is always hope" she said
gently.
The old platitudel And yet what
else is there to say when human
skill has given of its best and one
can only pray?
The long hours dragged by. 1t
was midday before Miss VarneX
came. She had been to the Fishers
and came straight on. She was
| frightened and fearful; she broke
down altogether when she saw
Mary's still face.
ooh, poor child! Poor darling
| child" She stopped and Kissed the
girls white cheek; her tears fell
fast.
David moved restlessly. Somehow
he envied her easy expression Of
grief 1t was beyond him altogether.
He felt as if his heart had frozen
during those long hours Of night
watching.
Presently he allowed Miss yarney
| to take him away.
TITS absurd! You can do nothing,
and you'll only be i'll yourself" she
protested, with pretended anger.
''They will let you know at once if
she wakes"
David followed her from the ward.
He looked back once as they reached
the doorway All his life ne remem-
bered the long room, with its rows
