I could make you care for me and

He felt her sway beneath his hands
"You mean it was all just a

never left his flushed. agitated face
Chittenham watched her, white
faced, tense.
Suddenly he found himself beside
her, holding her unresponsive hand
pleading with her.
Forgive me. For Gods sake. say
you forgive me. I shall never for.

my life to wipe out the ghastly mis-

fault. Lombard"
She turned her head and looked
at him.
"Can you blame Mr.. Lombard be-
cause you wished to behave like a
cad to woman who had never done
you any harsnL"
I Chittenham flushed crimson.
"She sent my brother to his deatt

Juliel" Chittenham said passion
ately.
And then somehow, without eithe
of them being conscious of havin
moved, she was in his arms sobbine
her face buried on his shoulder, he
arms about his neck.
"Oh, say you love me . say yot
really love me" she pleaded wildly
"Oh, do you really love me after all /?
Chittenham answered between clenche,
teeth:
II do, God help me-
1t was the truth; a truth of whicl
he had never dreamed.
He turned her face UP to him an,
kissed her lips.
II love you-whatever happens, al
ways remember that love you-" h,
said hoarsely.
She freed herself from his arms
wiped her eyes, and pushed back hel
hair.

He caught her hand, holding hel
fast.
"Wait =. Julie, there's something

He drew her into his arms again
holding her fast for yet another mo-
ment, then he gently released her.
Il love you with all my heart and
soul" he said hoarse1y. But you
will hate me when you know all the
truth-hate me more than l can ever

Julie, I'm not free to marry you
Julie /"
Then Julie said-at least her lips
said it, for no sound seemed to pass
them: "You mean you're married
already?"
"Yes."
Suddenly she began to laugh; help
less hysterical laughter which she tried
in vain to check or control.
Julie ;" Chittenham said.
But she went on laughing.
1t was so funny, SO intensely funny
that she of all people, who had never
cared immoderately for any one, and
who had always dreaded caring, should
so suddenly have been plunged into
this tragedy.
Two days ago she and Chittenham
had never met, and now whole life
time of events bound them together
They had quarreled, loved, quarreled
again, then kissed and been happy, and
now the end had come. -.
