scraps Of information picked up from
the gossips. Sandra, Of course, heard
from John often His mother had let
tiers. The weekly newspaper carried
frequent notes on his activities.
Then there followed weeks in which
no word was received by any one at
all. Anxiety was written on the face
of Johns mother; Sandra was irritable
when questioned. She was angry be-
cause OF Johns neglect. Then Mrs.
Steele received letter from Dr.
Lancey, head Of the expedition. John
had contracted = strange fever The
worst had passed, but he was sending
the boy home.
When Valeria heard about 1t q ter
ror possessed her She knew Dr.
Lancey. She knew that John had
probably escaped death. was even now
In q bad condition. Sc waited, and
the waiting was torture.
An ambulance drove John up from
New York. Valeria was with Mrs.
Steele when he arrived. He looked up
at them from the stretcher and smiled.
Neither OF the women spoke a word.
There was no need. Something had
happened to John Steele beyond de-
scription. Robbed of his vitality, Of
his handsome features, he had become
less q man than q withered and near
hfeless assortment of human mate
rials
Sandra arrived an hour later, fresh
and windbiown, eager and yet petu-
liant. She stopped at Johns bedside,
and the words died on her lips, the
smile faded. Horror filled her eyes.
She tried to speak, to say something,
and John smiled at her and reached
out. She flinched; = tremor ran
through her body.
Specialists came from New York.
The crisis had long since passed. But
1t would be months before John Steele
was near to normal again. Sandra
hung on to the word near" To her
1t held = world Of meaning. It was an
ultimatum. 1t meant that John would
never b normal again.
Sandra came twice after that. The
second time she walked from the
house without stoping to speak to
Johns mother. Her head was high
and there was . spot of red on either
cheek. But her eyes held relief,
freedom.
Valeria met her outside. The two
women paused bare instant and
looked into each others eyes. Then
sandra passed on, with little uplift
Of her head. And Valeria's lips turned
upward-for the first time in weeks
she smiled. Triumph replaced the fear
in her eyes. She went on into the
house and her heart was singing.
(CopyTisht. 1852
Evening star., 1938-07-05

Yet her heart was pounding and there
was anguish in her soul. She couldn't
help that.
And I want to take this oppor-
tunity to announce the engagement OF
my daughter Sandra to John Steele. u
Valeria saw and heard as from a
great distance. Her hand must have
tightened on Henry's arm, for he
looked down at her. But he only said
"Swell-looking couple, aren't they?'
Then the music started and they were
dancing again and Valeria had control
OF herself.
Valeria knew why John was marry
ing Sandra Carstairs. She knew 1t
better than John himself. He had told
her the last night they were together
that it was because he had fallen In
love with Sandra. He said he had
loved her since they had been chill
dren. and when she returned from
abroad, where she had been at school,
he knew that he couldn't love any one
else. He was sorry, he said.
Sorry? That was the one word that
had given him away. Sorry, for what?
For being. nice to her, Valeria? He
had never committed himself. He had
no cause to be sorry-unless down
deep an unspoken love lay in his heart.
So Valeria had known that John
Steele was marrying Sandra because
she could give him his trip to Egypt
with the LAncey expedition. He had
studied archaeology; 1t was his ambi-
tion. But . young archaeologist who
wanted to get into the field is ham,
pered by lack of money. John had
none, but Sandra was the daughter OF
the richest man in Woodford.
John left for New York to join the
expedition two weeks later. They were
to be married directly after his return
in six months. Valeria was scornful.
They were 20 cold-blooded about it, 80
obvious and matter Of fact In their
dealings. She almost hated John
Steele, yet she knew his ambition and
how strong it was, for he had talked
to her of his dreams ~ he had never
talked to any one else.
She was not present ut the send-on.
This wasn't necessary. She had made
her gesture by attending the party:
she wouldn't have to keep on play
acting.
Two days later she had note from
New York from john. He had looked
for her at the send-oh. He had been
disappointed. He had wanted to say
sood-by.
Hope burned in her breast, then
died. It was too late now. John Steele
had promised himself to another ana
