Mrs Allan h. iloughton, wife of the
American Ambassador to London, has
recently given a noticeable impetus 10
the American Hospital on the Thames,
which for some time has not thriven
es we'll as its founders had hoped. AS
London is well equipped with hospi-
tails. this foundation has been turned
into a nursing home. and, as ii is stu
eted in a roomy and comfortable look
ing villa in ST. Johns Woods. it is the
ideal spot to locate a convalescent.
Mrs Houghton also has continued the
tradition which began with Mrs. John

CHAPTER XXI.

" HE craZed horse slithered,
found soft foothold again,
reared heavily, and finally
was pulled to standstill, sweating
and shuddering. The girl, who had
chung with blind, animal instinct to
the rider, relaxed suddenly and
burst into tears.
ooh, Oh" she sobbed. Life can
sometimes be as SCATTERING thing
as death.
"You were going to jump into
that aceursed water. Why would
you rob me of happiness? Why
did you leave me? Am ! utterly
hateful, Sidonia?"
Gervais was bare-headed, pale
and wild looking as a boy just
reused from a nightmare. He was
habited as he had been the night
before, his sword belted about him.
His whole appearance, and that of
his horse, suggested a bearer of
desperate news breaking at a gal
lop from some city of disaster.
Sidonia did not answer. Twist
ing little in his arms she turned
fully to him, clasping him convul- !
sively about the neck and pressing
her face against his breast.
"Why did you go from me last /
night? They could not have
harmed you. They dare not. /
searched for you until daybreak.
Then took this horse and secured
the town. No one knew anything,
they were as stupid as sheep. So
| rode out into the forest, for it
was there that first saw you. |
prayed to the Three Martyrs, and
Immediately afterward spoke
with some charcoal burners who
told me they had seen a fairy
woman. And so found you. Why
did you leave me, Sidonia?"
The last question was put with
passion that must and would be
answered.
Because | love you"
at cannot be so. You were
about TO find death. Deaths arms /
were dearer to him than mine"
OH He must not believe that she
did not love him. IL was mon
strous, il seemed 10 shake the very
foundations of reality. She lifted
her face from his breast and her
colorless lips sought his with the

eagerness of a little hungry animal
Lip Joined with lip.
"My saint" said Gervais thickly
The horse moved under them,
lowering its head toward the
coarse grass that here grew reed
mixed. Drawing the reins taut
Gervais disengaged himself, sprang
to the ground, and then lifted the
dropping girl from the saddle. He
let the reins 20 slack again on the
horses neck, abandoning them, and
himself climbed short way up the
slope, burdened as he was, to
where a hollow bank made a semi
cave above a drift of leaves.
Sidonia, lying like wounded
thing upon dead leaves that were
yellow and russell, chung to the
young man beside her. He was the
chosen one to whom she should
render no worship. Life, not death,
had overtaken her. And life was
far more to be feared. Because
1t was SO deadly sweet.
"My saint. My saint" said Ger
vais, and he leaned over her, his
eyes looking down into hers with a
sort of tension that was dumb, yet
inarticulate. He seemed to hold
himself back, as one fears to touch
suddenly, or to Cypress in any
way, a person just returning from
faintness.
81 am no saint" said Sidonia,
speaking with a miserable We
hemence.
Whatever you are, l worship
you"
She put her hands up then, and
they touched his hair. She must
speak now, death would have been
easier.
"Gervais, I am the daughter of
a witch. And they call me witch,
Also"
A silence, but scarcely more |
than moment long.
mo matter where you came
from, no matter what name they
give you, you are holy, and
wonderful, and-and most dear,
Sidonia. Today priest shall
marry US.
mo! No! We must not marry.
You would lose your soul. You do
not understand.
"How should lose my soul if |
mix it with yours? Your soul is
pure"
They lay still at that, and ST.
donia's body seemed to dissolve
into air, leaving only her real self,
whose beating pulse was love. !
Then, as the bodily senses became
actual again, she was aware of the
leaves beneath her, of the dull
gray light that lay upon her eyes,
Of the ivy-fringe that dripped from
the penthouse of the sheltering hol-
low bank above. Her whole ma
ture fused md melted toward her
man, glowing and malleable. Bal
anced between agony and rapture
she did not know whether she was
in heaven or in perdition.
''Do you love me, Sidonia?"
ayes, yes. | would die for you."
."Then give me your love-"
81 have given it. The rest |
must not give you, for it would
bring you damnation."
"Sidonia" He spoke her name
as if she had uttered blasphemy.
They were silent for a little
while, each conscious of the beat
ng heart of the other.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-27

"Even if there were truth in
what you say, even if your love
should condemn my soul to eternal
torment, l would still grasp it..
You are. more to me than my
salvation"
A throb of triumph, half of sort
of horror, struck through the girl.
1t seemed to her that the weight
upon her was no longer love, but
fate. She was stilled. Her real
self caught back its breath, and
then began to breathe steadily and
deeply, like a person in a trance.
The fever fire of passion died
along her nerves and she spoke
softly.
IL must not wrong you. l think
| am witch. l have power some
times. | do not call it, it comes
to me. Tonight / am bound by a
promise to meet the Master, and
others. think the Master is Satan.
Do you still love me, Gervais?"
But at the very centre Of her.
self she knew what his answer
would be.
81 love you, now, and forever"
ooh, he was so boyish, even when
he was most the man, "You are
my saint, though you may have
passed through the midst of devils.
No matter what chains may bind
you I'll break them, Sidonia. BY
Heaven! I'll go with you to the
devils meeting place tonight, and
free you if / have to strangle
Satan with my own hands,"

of the olive-skinned, her eyes heavy
with the salt of tears, and the
pupils of them dilated as though
she had taken the witch's drug
b,Eadonna. She looked around her
like person menaced, beleagured,
and then went on down the slope
hastily, tripping sometimes, putting
out her hands to help herself. She
must find death-oh, quickly!
She hurried along just like one
whose life is threatened, blunder-
ing, bruising her feet. Her heart
hammered. The slope was rougher,
sleeper. The trees and shrubs
stood back. At the foot of the
short descent an oval pool, black
and thick-looking as pitch, lay in
ring of reeds. 1t was supposed
to be bottomless, and the whole To-
cality haunted by evil spirits. Many
suicides had leaped into its opaque
ness to await the Day of Judge
ment in the unknown depth. No
God-fearing Christian willingly ap-
preached this place.
The girl, whose long hair had
come unplaited and hung about her
eyes, descended the slope like one
about to find death.
Oh! he must not believe that she
was fugitive. Trembling in all her
muscles she reached the margin of
the pool, and great, flat-t0pped
stone that overhung it. Here she
stood, catching her breath again,
mechanically putting back her
hair. Looking down upon the
water, whose surface was notion
less as sheet of onyx, it appeared
of a brOwnish black
She had only to take couple
of short steps and she would die
for his sake. One of these steps
she took. She was at the verge of
the slab of stone that overhung
the unplumbed pool shelf-wise.
Shapes rose like steam out of the
water upon whose dark surface
there was no faintest spreading
ripple-ring. They turned their
eyes upon Sidonia and seemed,
without utterance, to forbid her.
Hands touched and caressed her,
and something like an ingratiating
animal rubbed itself back and forth
against her ankles. There was a
loud crashing on the broken slope
behind her, and the stone on which
she stood seemed to vibrate. She
pictured a troop of the dusty,
hoofed men, who had the eyes and
features of Gervais, plunging down
toward her to drag her back into
the passion of life, terrifying in its
delight. But she would leap from
the stone before they could reach
her.
"Sidonia. Sidonia"
They were calling to her with
the voice of Gervais. She must
leap quickly. Oh, the dead things
that rose like an emanation from
the water. Her cold fingers were
knotted together, and her knees
trembled. She was unable to force
her muscles to obey her, and there
was a sensation of nausea.
"Sidonia p
How close they were. There was
a thunderous noise behind her.
She must leap low. She tried to
gather herself for it, swaying as if
lbout to faint, though she did not
know it. And at that moment
like the impact of a
occurred. She was

Sidonia had paused, listening for
quite a while; indeed, until there
was nothing but the in-pressing
silence. Slowly she went on again,
the passage of her feet muffled
utterly. Her thought, held in a
stiffness like that of the spellbound
wildwood, was neither happy nor
unhappy.
