LLoydbrook 2161 WORK GUARANTEED RICHMOND HILL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS Richmond Hill HEART Ontario He would see Julie at once and tell her the whole truth. But Fate was against him. He went to Julie’s flat only to find that she had gone out to lunch. He went to several restaur- ants where he thought 'she might be but could not find her. There was nothing for it but to wait till the after noon when they would meet at his mother’s house. He purposely arrived rather late. Mrs. Ardron, who was near the door, crept to him and whispered that he must be very quiet. Now he was more accustomed to the darkness he could see that there were about a dozen people in the room Eit- ting in a ring, and apparently holding hands. There was a queer aromatic scent in the air, and a curious feeling of nervous tension. He saw now that the light from the shaded lamp was falling on the face and figure of a. man whom he suppos- ed must be the great Chryer. A strangeâ€"looking man with a pale as- eetic face and long dark hair, who lay back in the chair, his eyes closed and his hands clasped against his breast. “It’s so wonderful!” she breathed; she squeezed his hand excitedly. Giles stood beside her, angry and silent. ‘ Presently he began to speak in sing-song dreamy sort of voice. I’ll make you sorry for this befow I’ve done!” “Get out, or I’ll make you sorry for it now.” The door clOSed between them. For some moments after Lombard had gone, Chittenham stood staring at the closed door. For a. moment the two men glared at one another, and it took all Chit- tenham’s will-power to maintain his selfâ€"control, then Lombard said hoar- sely: Chittenham was white to the lips, but he laughed. “Very well, You know what I inâ€" tend to do. I shall tell Schofield what happened in Switzerland and again last nightâ€"” “And I shall tell Miss Farrow that the woman, she has been making her friend is your Wife}? “You can spare yourself the trouble I have already told her myself.” Lombard went on evenly, not heed- ing the violent outburst. “Tell him, and I’ll break every bone in your bodx." ' “I waited three hours â€"â€" very pa- tiently, you will admit.” “I give you just five seconds to get out of here,” he said. “Five hundred is not a high price to pay, surely â€"â€" I cannot imagine that Schofield would crap at it in return for the favour you received last night.” He shrugged his shoulders as he saw the passionate rage in Chit- tenham’s face. “It was you outside Miss Farrow’s flat last night?” With an effort Chittenham controll- red himself. Julie,vdisillusioned, enters into the wild night life of London to try to drown her anguish. Lawrence Scho- field wants to marry her. Lombard, who had first introduced her to Chit- tenham, demands money from Giles with the threat that if he is not paid he will tell Schofield that Chittenham and Julie spent the night together on the St. Bernard Pass. Later Julie con- fesses to Chittenham that she loves him. Lombard smiledâ€"an unpleasant smile. “I want five hundred.” “You agreed for two.” “The price has gone up since last night.” TWELFTH INSTALLMENT WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Giles Chittenham sets out to make Julie Farrow love him, intending to throw her over in revenge for the suicide of his brother Rodney, Whom Julie had cast off. He succeeds, but finds that he has fallen desperately in love with her himself. Then he discovers that it was not this Julie Farrow, hut her cousin of the same name, who had driven his brother to death. But Giles is married, to an American .girl named Sadie Barrow, with whom he has not lived for a long time. Sadie unexpectedly turns up in London, at a party at Giles’ mothâ€" er’s house, but both keep silent about their marriage. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The two men made no attempt at, a greeting. Chittenham merer said: “You’re in rather a hurry, aren’t you? However, you’ve saved me the trouble of sending it to you. You can have your two hundred.” There was‘an eloquent silence, and Lombard said calmly: It seemed an eternity until the door 'opened behind him and Julie came in. The others had all gone and Chit- tenham stood with an elbow on the mantelâ€"shelf staring down at tht~ grate which was filled with flowers and ferns. He could think of nothing but that pitiful, wondering question in Julie’s eyes. What a fool he had been not to tell her the truth last night; she would have understood and forgiven him then. Would she understand or forâ€" give him now, What was she thinking? What had she guessed ? “It’s only an ordinary faint,” Doris isaid contemptuously. “I’m surprised at Sadie being sueh a fool.” “Sadie is no better. The doctor ,Ihas just come. Would you like to go 1v Chittenham was very pale and his voice was rough and uneven as kind hands carried Sadie from the rooin. He Was conscious of impending dis-' aster. “We’ve sent for a doctor," his moth- er said. “Julie is staying with her.”, “Giles! . . .” and then be one could move to help her fainting at his feet. ' She looked up, her face white and} distorted. i \ And then for a moment nobody moved or spoke, but Chittenham’s arms fell from his wife and he took an involuntary step away from her. Julie was standing up, Very stiff and straight, looking at him across the room, a pitifulx wondering question‘ in her pretty eyes, her face quite} colourless, her hands gripping a chair' back. I ' “Two women and one manâ€"one man land two women . . . they stand beâ€" ‘fore me in the darkness not knowing of the tragedy that divides and will still divide their lives. . . .” He drew a quick breath and their followed a little silence, broken again almost at once by the same singâ€"song voiceâ€" “Two women and one manâ€"in the darkness all of them, and two of them will come out into the light, but the third will never see sunshine again. Darknessâ€"blindness. The blindness of the eyes . .. . here, close beside I It was like a scene in a dreamâ€"the ring of half frightened womenâ€"and the strange figure of the man Chryer as he rose slowly to his feet, a. shock- ed, awakened look in his somnolent ieyes. Then Mrs. Ardron began to cry hysterically, and the whimpering sound seemed to break the spell which 1rwas upon every one. 1 Giles took a quick stride forward: “Sadie.” ; She turned swiftly at the sound of her name, her hands outstretched and when he took them in his, she clung to him, sobbing and shaking like a frightened child. His mother, Don's and half a dozen other women whom he knew slightly and . . . Julie! He kept protecting arms round his Wife’s slim figure as he glared round the room with furious eyes. His clasped hands released one an- other, and moved forward in a cur- iously groping fashion as if seeking to find something. Giles did not know whether to be amused or angry. What fools women were, to be taken in by such a charlatan! He had moved back a step to find the switch of the light when suddenly those groping hands swooped down with a curious pounc- ing movement and fastened on some- thing or some one in the silent ring of listeners. ' It seemd an eternity until his fing- ers came into contact with the switch, and still that cry went on: “Giles Giles.” A piercing scream rang through the silence 6f the room, a scream in the frightened voice of a woman, and then the cry of his own name: “Giles! Giles . . .” It was Sadie’s voice, he knew, and When at last the room was flooded with light he saw that she was standâ€" ing up, her hands covering her face, her childish body swaying to and no as if in great pain or terror, while the wailing repetition of his name came from her lips monotonously a- gain and again. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO and then before any We fell “I have changed my mind. I can’t marry you. I don’t care for you euâ€" Iough.” She had told Lawrence that [only this morning. And now once more the brief dream was endedâ€"or â€"wasn’t it? After all, nothing was ‘really altered. He had deceived her about Sadie, it was true, but apart {from that things were in no wise changed. Chittenham still loved her and she loved himâ€"and if he still wanted his freedom and Sadie was willing to give it to him. 1 “Gilesâ€"â€"Gilesâ€"” The memory of Sadie’s agonised cry came back to her, ending afresh the peace which she was trying so hard to regain. It had been the cry of a woman to a man she loved, or so Julie told herself in bitterest jealousy, and she remembered how often Sadie had ‘spoken of Gilesâ€"and in what a queer, rather shy wayâ€"as ifâ€"even then it had seemed to Julie almost as if there might have been something between them. And now she knew. Sadie was his wife. The one woman of all ‘the many in the world who had a right ,to him and to his love and his protect- ionâ€"the protection she had claimed only that afternoon in her hysterical fear. I “No, no. I‘m not wet, and I don’t .Iwant anything, you need not wait.” The maid came tapping at the door. l “Aren’t you very wet, Miss? Can I dry your clothes for you?” She heard the girl move reluctantly away and then a moment later the 'shutting of the front door. But it ’ For Chittenham she had sent Law- rence Schofield away. For Chitten- ham she had deliberately dashed Scho~ field’s happiness to the ground. } She was unutterably grateful when just as she felt she could bear no more ‘the doctor came into the room. Mrs. Ardron at once turned her attention to him and Julie slipped away. She took her coat from a maid on the landing and went out into the street. 1 “She is my wifeâ€"” They seemed to be the only words that would take form and find utterâ€" ance in her brain.â€" “I think it’s quite true,” Julie a:â€" swered with stiff lips. She too-k Mrs. Ardron’s hands and held them. hardly realising what she was doing. “I’m quite sure it’s true that Sadie is his Wife,” she said again gently. you There was an agonised question in her voice though she tried despemtelgv to keep it unconcerned. ancel He felt her slim body stiffen be- neath his grasp. and her eyes mét his unflinchingly. “How long have you known Sadie“: Why did she call out to you and run to you like that?
