Would Mrs. Lenox like thisE
Would she like that? Would MIS-.
Lenox like to hear the radio!
Would she care to have the nurse
read TO her? Il was not only ner
own nurse who asked, but otner
nurses on the floor.
Mary could not understand why
she was getting such attention. IN
wartime London, with hospitai
full of patients, why should nurses
be taking all this trouble for
mere refugee?
rs it because Of DIR. OConnell
that you are all so good to me !
she asked the night nurse.
Il don't understand. Mrs. Len
OK the nurse protested. we
don't do any more for you than
for anyone else
But you have been good to
me-" Mary remembered the ade-
quate, but scarcely exacting, care
she'd had as a ward patient in the
same hospital.
well, of course, we have tried
to make you comfortable" the
nurse replied. For there's moth
ing anyone in this hospital
wouldn't do for DR.. Lenox."
For Gilbert Lenox's sake, then,
Mary had been given care that
could not have been surpassed for
members of the royal family. His
wife-but only in name. These
thoughtful suggestions, these COM
forts and kindnesses, all because
of Gilbert.
Il wish Mrs. Tully could see me
now" Mary smiled as she recalled
the occupant of the next ward bed
when the victims of the Moravia's
torpedoing had been nursed back
to health.
"Those bandages come off to-
morrow" DIR. O'Connell hustled
into her room one afternoon.
Can you tell me anything about
the results, Doctor? ?" Mary could
not hold back the question. 1t was
so important to her to know if the
operation would be successful. 1t
meant everything to her-the
difference between sunshine and
fresh air and the stifled exist
ence of an eternal blackout.
DIR. O'Connell shook his thatch
of iron gray hair.
Tomorrow will tell that" he
said.
The next morning was unbeliev-
ably long. The hours dragged I'M
til noon was announced from a
hundred steeples. A brief sleep
shortened the afternoon, but IL
was growing dark when Mary
heard DR.. O'Connell's step at her
door.
Soon she would know. But did
she really want to know? What
if she should always remain Anna
Winters? Had Mary Carroll really
died on the Moravia? She wished
now that she might postpone this
moment.
The doctor entered, followed by
his assistant and several nurses
Gentle hands peeled the bandages
from her face. A nurse seized
Mary's hand as she lifted it to-
ward her cheek.
Mary's eyes questioned the sur.
geon, who stared down at her. His
face was inscrutable. She heard
nurse sigh. DR.. O'Connell be-
gan whistliDg softly. Someone
handed her a mirror.

CHAPTER XIX

Mary Carroll woke IN soft
white bed.
Why did her face feel like hard
baked ginger bread? Why could
she see only through little Sits of
stiff frosting?
Then she r m m b re- d. DR..
O'Connell had operated to end the
paralysis from the blow she had
suffered on the Moravia. Had the
operation been successful? Was
she Mary Carroll again?
Through the Sits in the adj
hesive tape, cut for her eyes, she
could see a white figure at her
side. A private nurse, who intro
duced herself as Miss Babcock.
What time is it?" Mary want
ed to know.
Five o'clock. You've had long
sleep" Miss Babcock answered.
Mary tried to move.
You mustn't do that" the nurse
cautioned. you must lie per-
fectly still" She held Mary's
head in her hands to prevent fur
Their movement and Mary drifted
back into a new world.
1t was Paris and spring and
there was no war. Only a war
of nerves" and the stout-hearted
did not worry. There was a party
at a counts villa at Passy. Mary
would wear her Robin Hood red
dress. And that distinguished
young man with the scar on his
face. Who was he?
Why, that's Vincent Gregg, an
aviator. He was her fiance. Only
not her fiance then, and later
when he was-why, Carla Mar
chetta-
She awakened with scream.
1.-THE ether has made you sick, u
Miss Babcock spoke calmly. Lie
still and the nausea will pass
away"
Several days later Miss Babcock
told her she was much better.
Mary knew it without being told.
1t seemed preface of something
the nurse would say. Mary waited.
Finally it came:
You mumbled some strange
things about the sinking of the
Moravia in your sleep, Mrs. Len
OK" the nurse said. ut bears
out what I've been thinking all
along and what a lot of other
people think, too. Someone was
behind it, Mrs. Lenox. I know it. u
Mary nodded, her face stiff be-
hind the white muzzle of band
ages. II know" she agreed, 1--WE
thought so, thousand times"
My fathers an inspector al
Scotland Yard" Miss Babcock
went on. I've told him what
you said in your delirium. 1t may
mean nothing at all. On the other
hand, in wartime, one mustn't miss
a single chance.
THE investigation about the
Moravia will be reopened soon be.
cause of new clews. If you are
well then, you may be called tc
testify"
"Of course" Mary said quickly
II want to. What l have to say
may not do a bit of good. But
I'd tell every detail / remember. "
Miss Babcock rose to attention
as DIR. O'Connell's footsteps were
heard in the hall. Someone" she
finished hurriedly, has been tip

ships departures. The Moravia
and others. Find out into whose
hands the information went and
you'll know something"
DR.. O'Connell was hopeful, con-
trary to custom, after he had
placed new dressings on Mary's
face.
You're doing beautifully, Mrs
Lenox."
Would Mrs. Lenox be allowed
full tray tomorrow ?" Miss Bah
cock asked.
For the past few days Mary had
noted sing-song:
