you. In spite of all your courage -"

1t was, I think, a month or two
later when Lieutenant Won Rothwasser
said good-by to Elise again. He had
come back safely from another cruise,
but it was obvious by his sunken eyes
and his pallor that his nerve was
breaking.
1t was at nine o'clock in the evening
that he tapped at her door upstairs.
When she opened it, she was amazed
to see him there, looking so pale and
tragic. Never before had he come to
the top of the house, and she would
have been angry with him but for the
look of tragedy in his eyes and some
thing that had happened in her own
heart, though she was unaware of it
then.
