As Syrie reached the door, she
looked back. Clemency was bend
ing over Baba, who clutched hold
of her with one small, feverheat
ed hand. The sight of her child
ftm to the girl stirred an il
ogical sesentment to life.
Pirst Piers, then Faba.“A mo- ‘
ment before she had been on the
brink of a revelation, now she 1
changed her mind, saying instead,
“Semnd for me if you want me. I'm
going to lie down again for a lit
tie while. I'll tell Justine to come |
to you.” i
She went out, and Clemency, re
maining by Baba, who was mur
mur% broken, difficult-to-inter
pret phrases, was thinking that |
if thimgs had turned out differeni- |
ly it would be she herself whol
was driving away from Red Aloes. |
Piers would come back; and she ;
would have to face him— |
But that was something which |
she definitely did not want to con~- |
template now, !
In an incredibly short time, con- i
sidering the double journey he
hed to make, Piers returned to
Red Aloes with Dr. Rigaud.
The diagnosis was even worse |
then Celmency had feared—dou
ble pmeumonia. |
By now Baba was tossing and
turning with unceasing restless- |
ness. Having made his examina
tion the doctor gave her an injec
tion to quiet her, but his eyes |
were troubled as he rose from be- |
side the bed. ‘
“Now my dear mademoiselle,”
he said, “in pneumonia much — i
almost everything depends on the |
nursing. I can trust you to carry |

out my instructions.®
“Yes, doctor, of course. You—
she’s going to get better?” Clem
ency pleaded,
He spread his hands in a swift,
expressive gesture. “Medical sci
ence can do a great deal today—
once I could have given no hope
at all, but now there should be
every chance. There would be
more if I had been called in yes
terday.”
“I blame myself,” Clemency
told him. “I ought to have insisted
on your coming yesterday, but I
thought she only had a bad fever
ish cold.”
“A not unnatural mistake. How
did she catch cold in the first
place?”
She hesitated, then compromis
ed by telling him that while she
was out of the nursery someone
had left the window wide open,
and Baba had a habit of kicking
her bed clothes off.
He nodded. “She was hot, and
they lay there‘ in.coltd night air?”
He frowned, but that was some
thing which could not be undone,
and he went on with instructions
for the things which could be done.
Then, telling her that she must not
be or. duty all the time and say
ing hé would arrange with Mrs.
Amberley about a night nurse, he
went away.
Dr. Rigaud brought Sister The
rese with him when he returned
that evening and arranged to stay
~ the night with the sick child.
Syrie sat, white-faced and des
pairing, staring at Baba, and
Clemency was thankful when she
left the room. Jon prowled about
outside the room, like an unquiet
spirit, white and haggard, and 10
years older to look at. -
Only Piers seemed to keep away
from the nurseries. That, at least,
was soraething to be thankful for,
Clemency told herself. Or was it?
Even while she despised herself,
her heart yearned for him — that
heart she knew she would never
be able to call back into her own
keeping. She had taken off her
ring — in any case she could not
nave gone on wearing it with her |
handg constantly in disinfectants.
Although Sister Therese took
over from about 9 o’clock, Clem- |
ency was still determined not to
give up her vigil entirel:, in case |
Baba realized that she was in
strange hands. But she had been
going almost constantly since sun
rise and she knew she must rest.
First, she felt she must have a
breath of fresh air. Wrapping a
coat about her, she slipped down
stirs and out into t}:e courtyard.
i * B
Above were the same stars that
had shown only two nights ago
when she stood in the circle of
Piers’ arms and felt that singing
joy in her heart; when she had be
lieved that the particular star of
her destiny had come down to
bring her heart’s desire. ‘
It was all over. Piers must
realize that as clearly as she did,
He had kept clear of her all day,
but she knew that there could still
be no escape from that inevitable
next meeting with him, and again
the panic desire to get away |
thrust itself upon her. |
Foolish! she thought. There was
no escape. If the whole world was
between them and a thousand |
Syries held them apart, her heart
would still be his. |
It was not even as thmfh he
were happy —or ever could have
been happy with Syrie. How ut
terly incredible that a man like
Piers should forget cvery scruple
of honor for a woman like that.
No wonder he looked tortured. |
But he had loved Syrie; loved
her desperately and was going to
marry her, and then something
had gone wrong. But is wasn’t
that which mattered. It was what
had happened here.
Hal not Piers told her: “There
are many things you huve to for
give me. Men are fools, mistak
ing dross for gold, the marage for
reality.” |

Mother! our child doesn't have
a chance! Not a chance if you or
another motorist approaches at
high speed. You can’t maneuver
a speeding car around a playing
child and many of them are using
the streets and highways now that
school is out. So, when you see a
child on the highway, cut your
speed—some other motorist may
do the same for your child, says
our Safety Education Division of
the Georgia State Patrol.
