 HALLE PLEADS HER CASE

Some four hours later, Dr. Lyt- ton mounted the steps of the unpre- tentious house where Hallie was staying.
 The door was opened by a tall forbdding woman.
 Are you Dr. Lytton 2"
 Yes"
 Then you can step in. She said she wouldn't see anyone else
 Lytton looked more attentively at the speaker as he passed into the narrow hall. She was unusually tall Her white hair and haggard face suggested weakness of the body, but Lytton, with a doctors instinct. decided that her malady was of the soul.
 Whatever Dr. John Russells opjn- ion, Lytton held himself responsible TOT the accident to Grannock's eyes, That Grannock was his friend as well as his patient did not really make bad business worse because. 10 Lytton, to fail a patient was the worlds worst business already, Nevertheless, the discipline of years had enabled him 10 master his sick fury with Hallie Ellesmore.
 In place of his anger had come a resentment that he could not dis miss her from his consideration, By some means he did not yet clear " understand. she and Grannock between them had created an amaz- ing situation.

pale red. The doctor was aware that here was a darkly beautiful woman dressed In the color that of all others most suited her.
 T have sent my report to your matron," he began.
 Yes, I suppose you have.' 50 there's no point in our dis cussing your dereliction of duty. It's , the rest of the miXup that I've come about. GrannoCk knows you as-as a friend. but not as the nurse who-not as a nurse. Is that it?"
 She looked at him steadily.
 Wont you sit down."
 "No, thank you. I won't sit down. You'Il understand me perfectly when I say that I should not have come here to see you if l had thought I had any choice"
 Tt is natural that you should feel that way" agreed Hallie. But want to tell you, even if you don't believe it, that I feel-branded. l shall feel branded all my life. Whatever happens What d'you mean? What can happen? That's any good to Gran mock. I mean? You're evidently the girl Grannock met and talked to on the cliff-the girl he couldn't see and whose name he didn't ask" He , heard his voice drop to a snarl and did not care. And you think you can keep that up with him?'
 Yes. With your help"
 Act the unseen angel of mercy, eh?-to make up for having blinded him. Very pretty. Perhaps it would be best if you'd give me the facts of your-association with Lester Brocn. That seems to be the kernel of the whole situation"
 T met Lester in New York about three months ago." she said. T fell in love with him at once or l thought l did; and he fell in love with me. believe he really does love me still as much as he could ever love any one"
 Lytton remained silent.
 He told me, after while, that he couldn't marry me unless his brother approved of me. And be- cause my family history is rather obscure-he didn't seem to think that his brother would approve Of me. So it was settled that I should spend my months vacation here and try 10 get to know his brother independently. I see now that it wasn't nice way to behave, but
 Again she stopped.
 When Mir. Grannock and I did make friends with each other it was by pure chance" she went on pres ently. T imagine he told you about the long talk we had on the cliff?''
 Yes"
 Tt was a wonderful talk A won dertul time. When he had gone and Lester told me who he was and congratulated me and-made fun Of mo, l felt as though l were being dragged out of a dream. A dream of heaven. And then when the matron

 But Nurse Casey, whom no one had watched, whom no one had re- sardcd as more than a necessary piece Of surgical cquipment-Nurse Casey was once again succumbing to the temptation of becoming per son.l" about a patient. Fighting with her tears, she rushed at Hallie and tried to push her away from Gran nook
 What's the natter" fretted Grannock. He put a hand up to his bandages. "Oh, my God. this blind ness will take a lot of getting used to. What is happening? Rose-?"
 Yes" she answered him faintly but immediately. Yes, I'm here"
 He made a movement towards her and at that Dr. Lytton came to life.
 No, I'm sorry but I really must forbid" His voice roughened and he had to start again. I'm in charge of your case, old man, and you must do as I tell you. You're not fit to entertain Nurse-this-to entertain anybody today"
 Wait a minute.' complained Grannock. His hand went up to his bandages again and Hallie's heart broke afresh at the pathos of the gesture Ignoring both Lytton and the little nurse she moved close to Grannock and laid her hands upon his shoulders.
 If you still want me tomorrow. I'll come,' she said Its quite true you must rest now. But there will be tomorrow"
 You promise that?" he asked quickly, Then, before she could re- ply-"But I don't need to make you promise. If you say it, it will be so. Till tomorrow, then"
 If you still want me" she re- peated, T will come"
 Ills laugh changed to a groan and, with the sound of it in her ears, Hallie left him. She turned the ad- Jacent corner of the house and be- gan to run. AS she ran-out of the garden, down the drive, out into the road-she thought one thing only and that was-''In a few minutes now l shall be able to cry. In a few minutes I shall be able to cry"
 But when at last she gained her solitude, no tears would come.

 You took good care not to inform me that you were intimately ac- quainted with Lester Broon. l im- agined from your matron's letter that 1t was some other branch of the family that knew you"
 You didn't inform me that the matron had written anything spe- cial about me at all" returned Hal lie, with a flash of spirit. Please understand that I didn't ask Lester to wheedle her into recommending me for the case. l didn't know he'd seen her until he told me last night"
 Lytton took turn up and down the room. Some of his hostility was melting away: he knew it. Her story had challenged his hatred and contempt.
 But then-then. It all came back to that "dereliction of duty" which Lytton was determined not to re- open. She had left her patient, who was also the man of her spirits choosing. A double treaChery.
 Well, that may all be true or it may not" said Lytton harshly. My concern now is with the next few days Strange as It may seem to you. you will not receive help from me in of mock. He has been fooled enough. But"
 Have you told him that I-his friend of the cIiff-am Nurse Files omre?" she interrupted him.

 "She won't open her lips"

 i've refused to marry him, any way. He has absolutely nothing to gain by spelling his brothers illu- sions about mo. My experience of Lester is that, if his own interests aren't threatened, he is just indiffer- ent to every one else's doings."
 Lytton's grunt was slleptlcal.

 Who's shc?'
 "My landlady here. She opened the door to you. She was a friend of my aunt's and she is my friend. too. though l have never stayed with her before. She is a strange person."

 ''I don't think 1 could do that if l tried. Any one of you can break the silence at any moment. It's simply that if MT. Grannock gets any kind of pleasure or-or com- pensation out of having me near him, you are all bound to be on my side. Aren't you?'
 And what you're doing noV,' ragged the doctor, his face thrust ag- sressively into hers. lis to tell me that whether I like it or not you are coming back irto Grannock's life as what does he call you?-'Rose.' The woman he has never seen"
 Hallie sobbed suddenly.

 Baffled - furious - the doctor snatched up his hat and made for the door. Hallie intercepted him.

 If you must knoW-yes. I've or dcred Broom and Casey and the two servants to keep their mouths shut indefinitely"
 "Oh! Thank you. Thank you for that"

, My name?" echoed Hallie." Yes, I suppose l must tell you my name"
 In Grannocks hand, that clasped hers so closely, pulse was beating or was it in her own? It was as If at his touch she had become one with him. And now she must shatter this divine oneness. She must tell him her name and feel the !. beating pulse of love check and falt- CT. Would he strike her down in the sunlight? Would he turn away with a half-stifled word?
 I was brought up by a very dear aunt who gave me her name because my own would have been-notorlous I don't even know what it is; I aC- cepted her verdict upon 1t and al- though she tried to tell it to me I wouldn't let her. She wrote it down - before she died and left it in safe keeipng so that I could know tiff ever l wished to. But I think per haps I haven't found the courage So when you ask me my name, l can't really tell you, you see"
 The careful voice stopped and she knew that it was she herself who had been talking. Evading. Coward.
 But I am going to find out my real name,' she added. If you call me by it, I shan't feel that it is mo- torious any more.'
 Grannocl1 was laughing softly.
 Does it matter what is real and what isn't? Haven't we made our own reality? To me, you are the ivory rose and voice that has the sound of the sea in it and-a great many other things. All in one" He frowned and half-turned. T seem to hear people near us-Rose." a sHallie wrenched her hand from his and faced the study window. It framed pr. Lytton.
 .. Never in her life had she seen ! such anger on a mans face as she now saw upon the doctors.
 What is it?" Grannock asked sharply.
 Its Dr. Lytton," she said.
 Oh" Grannock laughed again, this time almost shyly. Its you, doc? Say, you didn't obey orders. did you? told you to make it clear toto this iady that she was to for get all about me. But you see she wasn't persuaded. She-just came"
 Lytton, charging down upon his patient, failed to size up the situa- ton.
 "Grannock, old man, don't know what to say to you. I seem to fail you right and left. That this should have happened-. Come in and rest little. You're overtaxing your self, squandering your nervous strength. Nurse Casey" He parked it over his shoulder. Get MT. Grannock indoors please. Order him some coffee. ="
 Order coffee for two" put in Grannock quietly. "In the drawing room. And perhaps you will be good enough to see that we-this lady and I-are not disturbed"
 What's that?" snapped Lytton.
 Something about his patient then caught his attention and he hesi- lated.
 What's that?' he repeated un- certainly. Its most inadvisab ble that you should have any kind of discus --slon with Nurse Ellesmore, old man. You just leave her to-"
