Kor a moment I was frightened lest she had heard, but her words, hateful as they were, reassured me "I have been wondering which of them your man was--now I know." I won dered when before in the world a good woman had been really happy at being accused of having a lover. But my mind was too occupied to dwell long on that subject and 'I began thinking of Ian's brother--he seemed so kindly, yet so detached, as if life were a river and he was sitting on the bank watch: ing it go by.

As soon as you are finished we had | better be off, They are anxiously | awaiting you down there." I no longer wanted anything, and he tossed a coin across the table, and we went out to the waiting motor, I dreaded the ride. In fact, I shrank from. it in 'a sort: of nameless terror, but again I was to find the big black thing that loomed, only loomed and more. We were hardly started he began.

"You are an angel," he sald, with a catch in his voice, "to say that," and | then he began anew. "I came to meet you today because you are in danger, and I want to help you, I know you far t06 well to believe for one moment that you placed those guns for us fale ly. They," he said contemptuously, nod-' ding in the direction of headquarters, "may believe you are a Latin and can love to the obliteration of all else, but I know you, and I told them so in the beginning." I parted mw lips to speak, but he an- ticipated my question. "Nobody has told me anything. Not one of us has any reason so far to suspect you played anything but fair, but I am as certain of it now as if T bad seen your every move. You do love Frazer with aif the strength of your soul. 1 know, buf no love, no passion, no personal senth ment, would evér make you sell out your own. How you did it; what haps pened, I doy't know, and." he hastened repeat--I shudder." He paused, it seemed minutes, and then sald gently: "Adele, dear, come with me--marry me--I am afraid I am done for - .

I was still wear ing men's shoes. He smiled as they caught his eye. "Yes, a very high price. What was 1t?" abruptly. "A man's life," I answered, looking at him squarely. "Who fs the man and what is he?" "He is Captain Frazer of the Indian army, son of Lord Ly and he is my patient." "Your patient?" and he smiled.

That is the sort low women have given since time began--a selfish longing for the pleas I Had Been on the Point of Flying te Him and Screaming the Truth, ures that possession gives. You knew I adored you, worshiped you, and that if I lived you would be my wife. You wanted that, and to gratify your taw- dry passion you bought my life with those of my comrades--my men, per- haps even my own brother! Great God! I am going mad! [eave me be fore I strangle you! My one prayer is that I shall never see you again!" A dozen times I had been on the point of flying to him aad screaming out the truth, but I was held back-- not because I feared we might be over beard. That thought never once came to me. Had I been saner I would have known that it was for that very par- pose I had been allowed to go to Ian's room. But at that time no thought of any such material thing came to me. I. was so- absolutely stunned, crushed, tiidt I bad mo words with which to defend myself. Quly one idea came and persisted: lan had thought me capable of this heinous thing, while even Von Schulllng had known better. I staggered from the room and fainted. » . - . * * . It was an hour later when the order had been given for the evacuation of the hospital, and I was desperately needed that I came back to conscious- tess and found a little German nurse bending over me. Afterward I learn- ed that Ian's speéch and my failure to defend myself probably saved, if not our lives, certainly for the time being, our liberties, for it never occurred to || the listeners that 1 would have accept ed his denunciations unless | had heen guilty.
