Gilbert Leaves For France

in these wars and If that's where
can help most, that's where I've
got to stay. Still, even in the med
ical corps, I'm going to be pretty
far away and it's best to leave
some instructions"
When Mrs. Simmons brought
tea, Gilbert gravely announced
their marriage to her.
The lodging house landlady
blinked. ooh, I sayl" she began.
"A bride? Congratulations. I
might have guessed after your
taking such good care of her."
You're to look after Mrs. Lenox
while I'm gone, understand"
81 will indeed" the worthy
Britisher said. But all the time,
Mary could read in the candid
face the thoughts that went on be-
hind it. Mrs. Simmons was OBJ
viously thinking. Handsome DR..
Lenox, him to be saddled with
such a poor little nobody Of
girl"
AS they had their tea, DR.. Lenox
did not refer again to the brief
business-like ceremony at the
registry. 1t was as If they'd been
two people who'd sign con-
tract to make them partners for
a stated time at the end Of which
they would go there separate ways.
Nor did Gilbert talk any more
about his departure. Instead, he
was very much the physician in
these last few minutes with Mary
Carroll. He called her Anna, of
course, and every time he said the
word, Mary felt a trace of guilt.
But 1t was to late now to tell
him her real identity.
'Dr. O'Conueil Is doing special
surgery in the same base hospital
where I'll be stationed" Gilbert
said. "I'll give him the history Of
your injury and all the facts about
1t SO when he comes back to Lon
don he'll be posted on the case.
But now, my dear, all the help he
can give you isn't going to be
worth anything If you don't CO.
operate. You're terribly run down
no color, no appetite. and your
nerves playing havoc with YOU"
Mary nodded. With every pass
ing minute, she was telling a
stronger pang at this parting. She
might never see him again =.
Her husbandl II understand" she
began, "I'll do as you order"
you're to get plenty of exer-
else - go to the cinema to relax -
drink milk and fairly stuff on
nourishing food. I want you In
perfect condition when DR.. O'Con-
nell takes you to the hospital"
He stood up. "It's time for me
to leave"

Swallowed the twisted right cheek.
Her hair was still colorless and
dull and tn eglowing opal tones
of her skin mad been blotted out
likely for all time, by the drao
pallor. But a new uplifting OF her
courage radiated from her.
In the apartment, Gilbert began
to pack a few intimate possessions.
"This Is my mother he said,
showing her a photograph OF a
sweet-faced woman. We're mid

Mary was glad he talked.

asked abruptly. Red famed in her
face when the words were said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You haven't asked
ANYTHING about me or the man

That's quite all right" Gilbert
answered. Girls maybe, yes. But
as I told you that day on the SUM-
porch at the hospital. I've never
been in love real love. That's
something different. 1t has TO be-"
Mary was at his side at once.
Some day you'll find someone

She went on in a rush Of words,

be annulled quietly and I'll never

Mary's eyes lowered and her
hands twisted miserably IN her
lap,
Gilbert bent down to her. Be-
fore either of them were aware Of
1t, he had drawn her to her feet
and encircled her shoulders.
You want to watch out, Mrs.
Gilbert Lenox, or you might be

voice grew husky.
In breathless move, he had
lifted her In his arms, held her as
lightly as If she'd been doll. The
new tenderness Mary felt for him
began to flame into something
stronger. She waited, half hope
full. half fearful that his lips would
press down hard on her mouth.
The spell broke. Gilbert kissed
her but lightly, almost In a
brotheriy way. and put her down.
Mary remembered her unsightly
face. No. Gilbert Lenox would
never fall in love with her. 1t
was pity, not a glimmer Of love,
that had made him give her his
name.
When he had packed his few
things and put a worn Bible in
his pocket, Gilbert wrote out a
few addresses and directions to
her.
"It's not that I'm afraid" he
said. There's really no danger at

rooms.

in q comradely fashion as they
walked, giving her feeling OF

an unexpected sense of elation,
now that the wedding service was

She was still in love with Vim

But the fact that she had seen
him with Carla that day no longer
seemed so frightening or so cruel.
This marriage at the registry
