The Hour of Reckoning

The Hour of Reckoning
Ut was Herbert himself who found
i Lila in a dead faint on the Ii
brary floor when he entered the
house shortly after 5 o'clock. The
telephone was lying under the read
ing table, but Herbert was too dis
tracted to notice this.
He thought, at first, that Lila was
dead; she lay so white and still.
In an agony of fear, he took her
in his arms and kissed her pallid
face.
MY darling, my darling. come
back to mel" he moaned.
Later he was a little ashamed Of
his lack Of composure and found
time to be thankful that there had
been no witnesses. At the moment
he was merely panic stricken.
He bore Lila up to her dressing
room, calling for the servants as he
went. Her maid hurried in with
water and smelling salts; Siddons
brought a rug; Herbert chafed her
chill little hands and forced brandy
between her blue lips.
l. Then, at length, after what
seemed to Herbert an agonizingly
long time, a tinge of color crept
into her cheeks, and she began to
breathe deeply and regularly. He
dismissed the servants then and sat
beside her, holding her hands.
Finally she stirred and her eyes
opened. She looked up at him with
a vague, blank stare. After mo-
