 By the time another Sunday ar rived the child was so definitely convalescent that Nan was sure her hour of release was almost upon her. Her heart heavy with the pain of parting, Nan watched for her opportunity to pay what might be her last visit 10 little Curtis Mor- gan. l. came at 1 o'clock that Sun i day afternoon. Iris and John Nor gan had been with him for while after lunch, but were now in the drawing room together. The nurse tapped at Nan's bedroom door.
 Could you sit with Curtis a while. Mrs. Morgan? I really must get ont for breath of fresh air, and Dr. Black told me to trust no one but you with giving him his medicine. It's ready on the hn- reau. Hes to have two ounces Of cereal at half-past 1, too
 "I'u be very careful Nan prom ised. "Plcase don't hurry back. l want 10 be with him as long as possible today"
 The nurse gave her a long, meas uring glance, full of sympathy and schrewd speculation. Nan turned sharply away toward Curtis door, for hetraying tears were yelling into her eyes.
 How do yo1 feel, darling? 2" she asked Curtis, as she stopped to kiss his thin white cheek.

 So extreme was her anxiety for Curtis that she had forgotten the courtroom drama before she ar rived at her home But evidently John Curtis Morgan had had room in his heart for both his child and his wife, for his first question was:
 How did you get along. Nan? I've been ashamed of myself for letting you face that ordeal alone"
 Nina Blackhull confessed - practically-to conspiracy, and in criminated Bassette" Nan answered impatiently. But - how is Cur tiS2'

When she had gone forever. leav- ing a ripple of excited laughter and invisible wreaths of perfume behind her, Nan turned puzzled, incredu- lous eyes upon her husband.
 "You-knew about Bert Craw- ford and Iris?"
 "Yes," he agreed, without ex- planation. "Otherwise I should have waited much longer to get a divorce. Judge Haskell knew, too, but he agreed to my keeping the charge of-infidelity out of the di- vorce petition, But-let's try 10 forget it all now, and be happy.

There is just one question, Nan before l - throw myself on your mercy: Do yol want to be free to marry Willis Todd ?"
 The question was so absurd, so unexpected. that Nan stared at him blankly before she could gather her wits to answer: Willis Todd? Are you crazy. John? Or--are yol just trying to save my-pride?
 "Thcn-why were you going to leave me-"
 Anger at the mans stupidity flared in her brown eyes and clenched her small fists. If you will make me say it-l'm leaving YOU because l love you so terribly I want you to have anything you want - even Iris," she cried furi- ously.
