Africa and Oecfue to
 Live in England
 Arnold Page had jumped as the canoe went over, he related few days later when he was almost recovered from his bruises. He had tried to locate Nancy in the foam ing water, and go to her. But the wooden leg had caught and ne couldn't work it loose. He thought that someone had grabbed Nancy bue he hadn't been sure. He had been there on the bank, waiting. wondering. hoping, praying, nor daring to trust too much.
 The expedition was pressing on into the exterior but Nancy anu Arnold Page decided that they would go back to England. They would arrange to be taken down the river to the place where a steamer carried passengers to the ocean port,
 q lived in England for long time" Page said. T like London. think I'd like to stay there."
 "I have friends there, too. I've visited several times. Funny. isn't it, but I've always thought that some day it would be nice to go to London and be quiet and happy. Will you stay there. real
 He. nodded slowly. "If you will"
 So it was arranged that. they should take a house and settle down abroad
 wen come back to America for visits. We'll go to Paris, too. Nancy wrote to Sue. "But this will be our home. You see, we are both wanderers, in a way. There isn't anyone who needs us, no place where we belong. And we do need each other. So the latch string will alweys be out, and the tea cups are waiting. You'll come over to see us some day, won't you?"
 Sue, slipping the heavy white pages into their envelope, shud- dered a little. Nancy had touched lightly on what had come so near to being a tragedy. But Nancy would go softly, she knew. Nancy wouldn't be back. Not this year. Not for many years, perhaps. But she was happy and when a woman was with the man she loved and who loved her, after all the place where they lived didn't matter so much.
 When Jack came to dinner that evening, Sue gave him the letter. He was well again and his leg had healed perfectly. Gazing at his tall, long-limbed broad-shouldered strength, Sue wondered what she would have done, how she would have acted if he had been the one who had gone over the dark wa terfalls in the grey African day? "Jack, don't ever, ever go way from me, will your" she asked suddenly, pressing closer to him. He reached out and drew her into the circle of his arm.
 "Try and pry me away! But what made you think. I might?P
 Nothing. But Nancy's letter makes me afraid of everything"
 Were safe enough" he assured her. reaching down to kiss the top of her head, as he went on with the letter. "so Nancy is going to be English now. We'll go over not this year-but maybe next. wish we had the money to go sooner. You'll like England"
 "I think would like any place where your are," Sue told him smiling a little. "Of course a woman-a wise womarl-sho ould never let her husband know how much he means to her but think how sorry I would be because l hadn't told you if all of sudden your boat went over a cliff"-
 "Silly!" But Jack tilted her face until he could look deep into the dark blue eyes. "Sue, you're sweet"
