CHAPTER LvII

A white night for Sonia! She lay
on the davenport before a dying fire,
consumed with loneliness, eaten by
remorse. Franklin had played fair
with her when she had Sfeast eX'
pected It, Her plan of evading him
had worked too quickly. She was
caught in her own trap.
It Infatuated her to think she had
been so stupid, so blind as not to
see that he was sincere in his de-
votion. She could have forced the
issue long ago by using the same
tactics, without involving herself In
a perfectly hde-bound marriage.
The thought of Don came to her
vaguely, as a figure in dream. He
was wonderful, but The habit
Of loving Franklin could not be
broken by one hour Of Don's love-
making, stormy though it was. The
touch Of F'ranklin's~ arms had been
able to obliterate all traces Of the
finer feelings. Her lips longed for
the kisses they had known all win
ter. Her head ached to snuggle into
the warm hollow of his shoulder
Every nerve in her body was keyed
to his A physical tie! Before 1t
everything else was swept away
save mad, wild, impulse!
Sonia twisted her fingers until the
knuckles whitened. She cried, ooh,
God, send him back to me. I'll do
anything Suffer anything :"
oh 70
explain that it was Don, not Hender-
son, she had married. Not that it
would matter which man stood in
his way. He would hate her just
the same.
She pictured him driving to his
shack, a disembodied spirit fling
ing into the night! She trembled to
think how he was suffering. He
might deliberately drive the car over
the grade. He was capable of any
madness. She put her hand across
her mouth to keep back a scream.
Then she began to pace the floor
She muttered, frantically, IF any
thing happens to him it will be my
fault"
Drops of rain spattered interm1t-
tently against the windows. She
pictured him cold and broken at the
bottom of a ravine, his face so vivid
that she ran to turn on all the
lights. She sobbed, Something Is
happening"
She visioned his face, so sweet and
wistful even in death
Then the rhythm Of the rain
sounded slow, heavy like a funeral
dirge, beating into her brain. She
drew the shades to shut it out. She
wound the photograph but 1t re-
fused to turn. 1t made her remem-
Der one other night when BERTHE had
wished to dance with her, BERTHE
with his clammy hands and evil eyes.
How pleased he would be if he could
see her suffering!

off the lights. Time to cut out this
foolishness. How old was she? Eight
or IS? HystericalI That's what she
was She threw the window
open to the rain.
Nothing about that to make you
nervous, Used to like it when you
were little"
In bed she closed her eyes and
listened. 1t fell gently, insistently,
dripping, dripping She sat
up in horror. 1t might be dripping
on Franklins face, upturned m
death.
ooh, I can't stand this!" she
moaned.
She wrapped her heavy coat and
a comfort about her, and stood be-
fore the window, looking down upon
the sleeping city. But was it sleep
ing? Or We're there other girls, wide
eyed with fear and remorse also fac
ing the dark? Girls more hopeless
than she? "In troubler' She thought,
violently, "At least they have known
what it is to love. They haven't
been cheated, starved like 1 have"
For a moment she envied them.
It would be better to have tasted
life to the dregs than to see it held
before your lips and snatched away.
What would have happened If she
had gone with Franklin the first
time he had asked her? Alone?
Maxine would probably be living;
Don would have gone away I'M
troubled by their misleading alli-
ance. She, herself, perhaps this mo-
ment, would be warm in her lovers
arms.
Wrong! Wrong! All this "blah"
about conventions, She had said
it once before to Walter Henderson.
She repeated it now with the de-
spairing conviction born of the des-
olate night. Everything had gone
wrong since she had started deny
ing Franklin. Until then their love
had been almost perfect. Prudish-

enough"
After an eternity of waiting, a
voice said, Grossly, HALO"
"Will you call Mr.. Crane? It is
very important"
She swayed dizzily. He must be
there. OF course he had gone home.
He was always a little dramatic
1t led him to eXaggerations, to lies
which were not intentional. He
would be there. But, perhaps, he
would not answer. Supposing he
did not wish to talk with her, would
not give her a chance. -

He was not there. He had not
lied
She sank on the floor before the
fireplace trying to warm her cold
hands.
SO It was truei He really had
broken with Genevieve and refused
to go back. But there was no joy
in it now for Sonia. She had bound
herself, hopelessly, for at least four
months. In the meantime he would
return to his fiance. Well, even
that would be better than the pic
lures she had imagined earlier in
the evening.
The clock struck 2. Sonia told
herself she must go to bed. Every
thing would seem different in the
morning. She would laugh at these
silly fears which were bred of the
night and nerves.
. She understood rapidly and turned

By Vida Hurst

That thought sobered her. She
must get hold of herself, Franklin
was safe. Perhaps after all he had
not gone to Marin County. Perhaps
the thought was a subtle hope Of
iustification-he had been lying.
How did she know? Has version Of
the quarrel with his mother might
have been only ruse to persuade
her to accompany him.
She smiled, nervously, telling her
self she was a fool to believe him.
He had lied to her once. He would
again. While she was enduring this
mental anguish he was no doubt
asleep in his own bed.
She looked at the clock. One
thirty. The idea to find out became
an obsession. She must know. She
could not sleep until she had heard
his voice. If he were at home she
would tell him she wished to see him
once more. Then she could go to
sleep. She thought, wistfully, of
how well she could sleep If she were
sure.
But what would the servants
think? Surprising his mother should
be waiting up for him and should
answer the telephone? Well, what
if she did? Why should she worry
over his mothers opinion? What
had she done to deserve consid-
Grafton from Sonia?
She lifted the receiver, grimly, and
repeated the number in a clear hard
voice. She waited frozen with ap-
prehension.
There was no answer.
Sonia ratified the telephone. IN
sisting that the operator ring again.

Governors Word

The Forest Commissioner reports
that the situation in the woods of
Maine at the present time caused by
the prolonged drought is as threat
ening as it was in 1921 when the
worst fires in the history of the state
occurred. Thousands of men are now
engaged in fighting forest fires in
various sections of the State at very
great expense to the State and to the
land owners. If this situation con-
tinues and rain does not come there
is danger that thousands of acres of
cumberland will be burned and hui
man life imperiled
1t is greatly to be hoped that It
will not be necessary to close the
forests of our State to the public
Timberland owners have instructed
their employees to work in coopera-
ton with the fire wardenS in every
way.
Under the advice of the Forest
Commissioner and Chief Fire Ward
en- l. therefore, appeal especially to
motorists, campers, fishermen, guides
and woodsmen to lend their cordial
support in protecting the forests by
refraning from building fires during
this dry spell. Conditions are bad
enough in the woods without adding
in any way to the risk of a confla-
grafton.
Unless there is change very soon
for the better it may be necessary
to forbid the public to enter the
woods unless called there on bus
mess,
