Sion-if there is such thing. I'm glad
to have seen you again-it hurts, the
way you sent me about my buSl-
ness.
81 shall never forgive myself, Julie"
''You must; there isn't anything
really to forgive. | wasn't too kind
to you either, Lawrence"
"You gave me the only happiness l
have ever known, and that is why l
want to give you your happiness"
She drew back sharply.
'Why-what do you mean?"
THAT I want to take yon back to
-Chittenham He's fine fellow, Julie,
and you mean everything in the world
to him. There was a time when |
hated him, but lately, now we under
stand each other-I can see why l
never stood chance when he was
concerned"
What do you mean? How dare
you say such things to me2"
I dare anything if it means your
happiness"
My happiness is no concern of
yours" She turned and began to
walk away from him. Her heart was
beating fast and her eyes burned with
1he tears which she dared not let fall
In the evening Schofe1d called at
1l1e little hotel He brought large
bunch of roses and he kissed her hands
as she took the flowers from him.
Say you forgive me, Julie?"

her heart she knew that if she had
cared for him, forgiveness would not
have been possible. "Of course for
give you," she said again with an
effort: "but in return you must prom
Use me something, will you, Law
xence?"
'<If can-you know I will"
Then promise me that you will not
tell any one in London where I am"
He hesitated, and she said again
sharply: Most of all you must prom
ise me not to tell Mr.. Chittenham."
Scho6eld looked away from her.
Il have already wired to him. I
wired this evening after you left me-"
She drew a deep breath, her heart
was beating SO fercely that it seemed
to choke her.
~You think do you think he
will come here?" she asked.
Il am sure he will come"
eyes +. yes, I suppose So" She
touched his arm. "And you are the
good Samaritan who will bring us to-
gether again." she said, and he did
not hear the mocking note in her voice.
But when he had gone she shed no
tears. She went up to her room, leav-
ing the roses he had brought lying on
table in the deserted salon. She
dragged her few clothes from the
drawers in the little painted chest, and
hurriedly packed them.
Her only thought was to avoid see
ing Giles Chittenham-
ITS all over, that part of my life
its finished for ever" she told herself
over and over again. Il don't want
him now-I don't even want to see
him! I could never forgive him or
believe in him again"
She told the landlady that she was
going back to England, but at the
station she took a ticket to Lausanne.
"'He will never think of looking for
me there" she told herself exultantly.
~He will think it is the last place I
should ever go back to"
She changed her name to Langdon
and took room in little old-fash-
ioned chalet overlooking the lake, and
when she found the time beginning
to hang impossibly on her hands, she
advertised for pupils to whom to
teach English.
For one thing she needed the money,
and for another, she felt that she
would go mad if she could not find
occupation.
But except at intervals she was not
unhappy.
And so the late summer and the
autumn passed, and the cold winds
came, and the grey days, and the
mountains were hidden in wells of
mist.
What was Giles doing? One night
she dreamed of him so vividly that she
was sure he must be somewhere near
: her, and for two days she was afraid
to go out for fear that she might
meet him.
q will go home" she told herself,
and tried to believe that it was sheer
longing for England that drew her,
and that the presence of Chittenham
made no difference.
Il will go home for Christmas" "
she decided, and from that moment
her spirits rose, and the people in the
house smiled when they saw the
change in her.
"She has had good news" they told
one another, and we're quite sure that
it was an unhappy love affair that
had hitherto caused the sadness in
jules eyes.
And then week before she was to
leave, Julie suddenly felt a great
longing to climb the St. Bernard
once more.
She made enquiries and was told
that she could not go without a guide
a < is dangerous time of the year,
she was warned.
