she said. with a sort of frivolity hardly
becoming to her face. Within a year
he might be a father: she knew very
well that was what he so much wanted
to be.
Suddenly Thomas leaped UP and in
terrupted her chatter with a perfectly
quiet and steady voice:
Pack my trunks. am leaving to-
day"
At 10 o'clock the following morning
Thomas arrived at the Anhalter sta
ton in Berlin. He had lost the after
noon train and many precious hours,
because he could not leave before ne
had turned all his patients with their
detailed histories over to colleague.
Medical conscientiousnesS had been
drilled into his brain from early child
hood. His father had brought him up
with such a devotion to his profession
that to break its code seemed more
serious offenSe than common felony.
He did not neglect his duty, even though
he knew what it might mean to miss
the afternoon train.
Now he was standing in the Anhalter
station after night in a slow train.
His trunk contained clothes and laundry
for one or two weeks, his handbag con-
tained all his papers and his total cash
possessionS-a sum Of 1920 marks.

everything a man needs who does not
know what turn events may take.
Thomas had no definite plan. If
some one had told him that he intended
to bring back his wife, who had de-
with pleading and kind words, kisses or
shuddered with repugnance If some
one had told him that he was deter
mined to pursue Sybil to the ends Of
the earth simply to put bullet through
her brain for her treason-he would
likewise have laughed and shuddered
with repugnance. And, nevertheless,
during that sleepless night he had shot
down Sybil hundred times and a hun
dred other times he had penitently
fallen into her arms.
There was only one thing he knew
that he had to see her again, that he
had to have an accounting with her.
AS far as he could think clearly, that
was the only aim he had. And he knew
that to accomplish this there were three
ways open.
First, the police. Sybil had been alb

well has also left" she said, without
any special emphasis.
Immediately Thomas lost every bit of
self-control. He threw knife and fork
upon the center of the table, leaped up,
and shouted, why do you say that,
Why? Why do YOU talk about Short
well?"
When Irene, frightened to death
kept silence and turned around to leave
the room, he seized her by the arm and
shouted egain, What do you mean by
that"
Irene hesitated for a time between
pity, caution and sense of injury.

just as she had done a decade and a

OF the enlisted men has continued on

 As Sandra explained it, she is a third cousin of the pontiff. She was born Sandra Winckleman, her father having been a German from whom her mother separated. The mother and daughter used the for mer's maiden name of Ratti, which was the surname of the pope, he having been Achille Ratti before
 his elevation. Sandra's maternal
 grandfather, she said, was Gui- scope Ratti, an attorney and cousin |of Achille Ratti
