With lips parted Padraic gazed at

''If you mean Hilary, he has done

Padraic's relief was so great that
he dropped his forehead on her arm TO
hide his face from her. He had

The next instant he looked up at
her again. and met a reeting glance

you mean that you wish me to tax
you away. for good?"
'If you think il would be for good.
She said this in a tone not only frie@
but biting.
Padraic drew his hand across L.-
forehead. which was damp.
But dearest. e" he began again
"Yes?"
IF he is so kind. wouldn't it be. "
l mean, if there's no real need Of YOU.
leaving him so suddenly. IL would
seem rather cruel, don't YOU thin,
so?"
Celia's face looked lost with the
slightest, bitterest smile.
If you've been mistaken" said she.
why not say so frankly"
Mistaken ,"
He was more at sea than ever and
could only echo her i'm his bewildel
ment.
Her clasped hands began to trembc
Mistaken in thinking that you
loved me-
This was too much.
Anger sprang into his heart then
tears into his eyes.
Celia. Celia. =" he cried, using
her name for the first time. "Yoj
must be very i'll to wish to hurt mt
like that. II am only thinking Of yot.
and you stick a knife into me.
Tears were back of Celia's eyes alsu.
They smarted intolerably.
Il. am. sorry" she managed
Forgive me. but l must go. some
how. tomorrow
You shall. You shall. +" he
soothed. But won't you tell me why
it must he tomorrow"
That chilly fear which he had thank
al xr-oS
ming to steal over him again. There
must be some serious reason for yo,lj.
hurry. Please tell me-
1T is because he gave me three DAYS
to decide in. Tomorrow will be the
second day. ] wish to be gone beforc
the third"
Thus plunged him into complete
darkness.
ITO decide what" he ventured
Her hands had stopped trembling al
his assurance that she should go mex
day but now she tried to withdraw
them.
In her most muffled voice she re
piled:
I'D rather not tell you that. The
real reason is that I won't accept
divorce from him.
Then he's offered you onc?"
Yes"
Have you told him about us
Yes"
And was that the reason he offered
it?"
Yes"
She had turned her face away from
him. so that he had only a very lost
profile TO study. He tried desperately
to fit together the extraordinary puz-
zle of their present situation. 1t quite
baffled him. At last he ventured
rather nervously:
why won't you accept a divorce
from him, dearest?"
At this her face turned to him again.
quite pale now with eyes all dilated
pupils.
Because he's an honorable man and
he'd have to act a base lie to give me
a divorce"
Padraic felt that he was on ticklish
ground, yet must expostulate.
THAT would only be a form. dear
everybody would understand
20, Padraici It's you ] want to un-
derstand. Can't you see that If ]
agreed to baseness I would be base
too?"
Padraic couldn't see it. though he
thought her divinely and childishly
heroic, and told her so and that he
adored her for it. but that the world
looked at such things from another
standpoint.
"O!' Celia interrupted him despair
ingly... You are talking just as he
did,. And 1 thought you would be
different!
Her cheeks were ablaZe again and
she sprang to her feet before he could
prevent her. Beginning to laugh un-
der her breath. she said with words
broken by this jerky laughter:
g.. We would eat. brown bread
and honey. under hedgerows. you
said. but. lit seems I'm to eat.
