She did this when she knew that Monte as hundreds of miles away. She did this in face of the fact that, if his coming depended upon her consent, she would have withheld that consent. he had suddenly appeared, she would have fled in terror. He must not come; he should not comeâ€"but, O God, if he would come! Sometimes this thought held her for a moment before she realized it. Then for a space the sun appeared in the blue sky and the birds set up such, a singing as Marie had never heard in all her life Perhaps for a step or two she saw him striding toward her with his face aglow, his clear, blue eyes smiling, his tender man mouth open to greet her.

The knowledge ulas coming slowly, imperceptibly; but it was bringing; ilGI’ strength. It Was steadying her nerves. It was prepar- ing her {or the supreme test. Because that very day, toward sun- set-time, as she still sat by her win- dow. she saw a shadow that looked like Monte. She smiled a little, be- cause she knew it would soon dissolve. Rapidly the shadow strode along the quay until opposite the hotel. Then, instead of vanishing, it came onâ€" straight toward her. She sprang to 'her feet, leaning back against the wall, not daring to look again. So she stood, counting her heartâ€"beats; for she was still certain that when a hun- lusion also-would fade, Marjory did not have time to count 3 full hundred heartâ€"beats before she heard a light rap at the door. For the fraction of a‘second she swayed in the fear that, taking the-stairs three at a time, Monte might have ventured to her very room. But it would be with no such gentle tap that he would’announce himself! “Yes?” she called. “A card for madame,” came the voice of the garcon. Her knees still weak, she crOSSed lthe room and took the card. There was no longer any hope left to her. Apparitions do not materialize to the point where they present their cards. “Madame is in?" queried the boy. “What else can I say?” she asked, as if, in her desperate need, seeking counsel of him. The boy shrugged his shoulders. “If madame desires, I can report madame is awayf’ he offered. It was all one to him. ,one to every one else in the'world but 'herself. No one was interested. She was done. Monte himself let her alone? That ,was the point, but to determine that it was necessary to see him. It was poseible he had come to see Peter, not knowing that Peter had gone. It was possible he had re- turned this way in order to take the Mediterranean route home. On the iface of it, anything was more prob- able than that he had come deliber- ately to see her. “You will ask monsieur to wait, and I will be dOWn in a few moments," she replied to the boy. She called to Marie. “I have a caller,” she‘ announced nervously. “You must make me look as young as possible.” Even if she has grown old inside, Ithere was no reason why she should reveal her secret. “I am glad,” nodded “Madame'should put on a white gown and wear a ribbon in her hair.” “A ribbon!” “That would look absurd.” “You shall see.” She was too weak to protest.
