Angry tears came into Ruth's e ai she read, The idea that even ir his sickness Brien should loug for Moitle King, hurt hér dreadfully. He might have said he longed for her, Ruth. Of dourse she wasn't a "good | pal" like Mollie King, she said aloud, 'as she wiped her eyes, and she didn't wear a becoming nurse's uniform.

Hhe thought of it almost constantly for days. Ft was inconceivable that if Brian really loved her, he would not long for Mollie ad he sald he did. Again all the softness ghé had felt vanished, and she 'wa¥ tormented by | the old jealousy and the old distrust. She wondered Row : long Brian would he convalesce Fife Mollie would spend ing long walks toget she care that they talke the baby? It was t e_heing toge- ther that she lized that their intimacy would be- come even greater, perhaps, than over, Women were like that; they were 80 sympathetic when a man they cared for was sick or injured. Ruth never doubted that Mollie was in love with Brian, whatever his feel- (ings toward lier were. At times-- she now did---Ruth believed that Brian alsp was in love with Mollie, altho she never could explain why lie had not married her----explain it to her own satisfaction, Of eourse Mollie would have been glad to marry Brian, Ruth threw herself into her work with such energy after the receipt of this letter, that Mandel wondered _ what had caused her to act as if she wanted to work harder than even the exigencies of the business de- manded. He tried to csution her, told her she would make herself ill, and finally he became so worried by her feverish metions that he sent her to Philadelphia for a day or iwe upon some business another might have attended to as well.
