distance he saw Rusty and lot
Of the other boys in a ball game.
He felt little fiow Of relief at
the sight Of them all. The sun
shine was good upon his head. He
said, "Cor- on, Phil, let's have a
crack at that baseball. You used
to be pretty good in the old days"
He liked the way the Governor
responded. There was lot Of boy
left in him yet. They stood to-
gether, smoke wreathing their heads,
and watched the boys. Rusty was
at bat. And Rusty at bat was al
r-ost as much Of menace as he
was when he was prowling about
the town looking for trouble. He
connected with fast one and 1t
travelled fast ard far and the Gov
ernor cheered loudly.
II expect" DR.. Luke said slowly,
II expect I remember the birth Of
that red-headed youngster better
than any other except the quin-
tupletS."
"Why?" the Governor asked,
watching Rusty dancing Of third
base.
"Because-of his mother, and the
tragedy surrounding 1t. I was very
fond Of Francine. saved the baby
but I couldn't save Francine."
| The Governor was staring at him
now. "Francine?" he said hoarsely
"Francine?"
"You remember her, don't you?'
DR.. Luke said, still watching Rusty
"Francine DUPONT. That beautiful
French Canadian girl you saw up
in the woods IL years ago. Rusty Is
her boy. He's II now. Hi, Rusty
come let the Governor have try at
bat" .
He left them then, after he had
seen them shake hands, after he
had seen Phillip Crandall take of
his coat and move up to bat.
II must find Mary" he said. Il
must find Mary"
T,HE moment he saw her he knew
l. she had been crying. Her eyes
were red and it came to him with
a shock that he had never seen
her cry before. But he saw, too
that her jaw was set firmly and
that her lips were folded in lit
tie white line.
you've seen Tony?" the doctor
said, without preamble.
Mary nodded. .....s
"What happened" the doctor said
"You know" Mary said. He
told me. He saws he loves me. Dr.

John. But I CAN'T can't love a
man who turns his love of and on
like that, a man who could fall in
love with one woman one day and
then come home and say he's IN
love with me the next"
The doctor blew a great cloud Of
smoke from his pipe. This was
delicate ground. Mary wasn't a
girl who could be easily influ-
enced. She didn't know an awful
lot about men and life. Probably
she had never had temptation
since she was born.
He said, MARY, have you ever
been tempted?"
Her blue eyes met his in startled
surprise. He went on, slowly,
well most Of us have. You've
been lucky. Tony loves you. But
he was away from you, he was
tempted, and he made mess Of
1t. Are you going to let that ruin
both your lives? Are you going to
cast him aside and let him bring
misery to all Of us, just because
he made one mistaken II you made
a mistake, and you might, you
know-better women than you are
have made mistakes--youd want
to be forgiven and have one more
chance. wouldn't you? Look, Mary,
IL you're the woman I think you
are and you, love Tony, you'll put
aside your pride-that's all 1t Is
and there shouldn't be any pride
In real love-and help me save
him."
"WiIl your"
EYES," said Mary. "If he will
tell me that he really loves me
and wants me. WILL"
"You stay here" said DR.. Luke.
Going down the stairs from
Mary,s room, the old doctor
thought that it was rather late In
life for him to start stage-man-
aging dramas like this. He thought
that this Reunion was too much
for him and that he would be very
glad when 1t was over and he
could return to peace and his
people and his gums. But he hao
to see this through.
Helen Sheridan was sitting IN
the big living room. She said,
"Dick's in the hospital, still, look
ing things over. He's never hap
py when he's away form an OPP
Grating table"
"You ought to take him around
the world for rest and a change
of scene" said DR.. Luke, and was
glad that Nurse Kennedy couldn't
hear him. "FIe's worn out. Helen,

moving.

she said softly. He didn't answer.
Then she said, her words tumbling
over one another, TONY, this
our coming isn't the real surprise
I've made up my mind. 1 can't live
without you. can't. You're every
thing to me. I'm ooing tU leave

SO this was the disaster that had
been hanging over his head! With
every bit of his will power. Tony
tried to bring himself to speak. He
managed 1t at last, but his words
were broken. He said, You can't do
that, Helen. The doctor loves you-
you couldn't.
The lovely painted face before
him went hard. He saw something
in her eyes that he had never seen
before, determination that was
cold as steel.

DR.. John Luke forget the scene

something he COUNT bear to

memories that he put away and
tried to pretend had never hap

to the boy. He said them because
his heart was bitter and torn.
Tony, who had betrayed his friend,
the home that was open to him, the
girl who waited for him. Yet he I'M
derstood how these things could be.
And nothing he said could move

love her now he hated her. But
she had been a faithful wife until
she met him and he had to GO
