Gray straggling locks were spread upon a white pillow, It was the face, however, that held Karen's gaze. A smile touched his lips. All the taut Buttering of a deranged mentality had been erased. Peace softened the sharp, whittled features. The doctor spoke again, in harsh gentleness. 'Singing with the angels, poor fellow! But not so poor, after all, maybe. He did what he set out to, though the trip was too much for him. Got the kid here to me; told me he'd found his little hoy at last, and please for me to fix. him up all well again. . . . And here's Little Sandy Sandy himself, none the worse for wear, hmiling at you from the cot over there !"

"But just to he sure of things, I'm going to fetch him and Little Sandy back to toy surgery at home to have X-rays." Karen was stroking the child's hair. •'Did'nt Mr. Sawyer hurt you when he was carrying you?" she asked. "Not too had," replied the hoy. "1 just kept a-thinking what Job told me about being brave, and Mr. Sawyer Sawyer was real good to toe." Rory Whs dozing on the couch, so Karen slipped quietly from the room. She left the cottage and walked along the road to the end, where the headland headland ran down to the shore. She felt Job had gone there, and she wanted to talk to him. Death Had Intervened She found Job leaning against a small, twisted tree. She sat on a near-by stone. Job limped over ant sat down beside her, reaching for both her hands. "This day has done something to ns, to make ns different," he said "It's shown me how danged mean and small I am. I could have easy told Colin to stay with the lad whilst we was up to the blacksmith's Shop, but I wouldn't, on account of trying to show off to Mr. MacLeod." "Oh, Job . . . don't he so hard on yourself." "I reckon," he continued evently, "you'll go with him and Little Sandy when the Doc takes 'em back home with him." Karen had not thought of this, yet now she knew she would. "But what about you?" she faltered. "Colin and mo'll catch a boat going hack. We'll take poor old Sawyer." Job's voice deepened to a slow measuring measuring qf words. "And me, Job? You're leaving me out entirely." "I said you'd be going with Mr. MacLeod MacLeod tomorrow--and afterwards. You can't help your heart, Karen." "No, no, dob. I don't want to go back ... to Two Rivers." "You don't dare go back, you mean. I've only been the next best answer." He had loosed her hands, and now sat away from her, "Karen, Mr. MacLeod MacLeod told me why he came here a- hunting you. Pie wanted you, lie said, to be right down surs of how you felt before he told you Dis errand. He come home from abroad because his aunt died." Kaieti jerked up straight. "Mrs. Masters? And he never said a word!" "I'm telling yon now so you'll be happy, and go with him." She rose, feeling a tight ache in her throat. "Job . . . Job, you are good and fine . . . goodby, dear." Swiftly, she held his hand against her cheek. "1 do love you ... I always will. Yet, this feeling, this other--is different. Can you forgive me?" "Of course. Goeciby . . . Karen!" "Goodby . . she whispered and hurried away, Heaven Found Once more in the quiet house, she heard Rory speak softly to her from the couch. Slie went to the couch. "Job," she said, "has told me about Mrs. Masters," Masters," Rory's hand found hers, "Good old Job!" She waited, trembling a little. He drew her dowii, and she felt his lips on hers. "The UHbappiest day can have the happiest ending," he murmured. "Are you quite sure about me?" "Quite ... I know now that I'd go hack to Two Rivers with you tomorrow--if tomorrow--if you,wanted me to." "You darling! Win you please reach for my billfold in my coat hanging on the chair?" Karen fumbled in a pocket of his coat and handed him the bill-fold. "My aunt," he began, "died six months ago. She had left sealed directions directions for me in her safe-deposit box. Whether you believe It or not, Karen, there was embedded in her jealous nature a certain rough justice. justice.

Also, as near a written written apology as her pride would permit. permit. Another note requested me to find you if possible." "I don't want her wretched money!" money!" choked the girl. "Don't be silly. It belongs to you, as it belonged to your father. You remember, remember, of course, the old line, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This applied tragically to my aunt. After years of repressed, jealous fury, she placed a comparable slander on your mother. This was her dreadful retort," Karen shuddered. "You know, then, the vile thing she told me that last, night in two Rivers? It nearly killed me ..." "I know ... a malicious falsehood." Karen clutched at the top-coat thrown over Rory for covering. "Then it's not true?" "Poor child, what you- have suffered! suffered! Don't you see it was her last vicious fling at you--at your father and mother?"

That's why, my dear, I had to be so careful not to influence influence you, if you really loved Job better than me. Don't you understand?" understand?" She nodded and dropped lier head on his shoulder. "Let's put the old bitterness behind us," he said. "Let's live in your lovely house once more.
