He stopped his swinging arm, hold
ing his hand above the flames. “He
that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God
and God in him; for God is love.” He
opened his fingers, and !he crumpled
letter fell and was consumed. He
pushed himself up from the mantel
piece and turned ano went over to
Twyning and stood over him again.
He patted Twyninj’a heaving shou!
ders. “There, there, Twyning. Bnd
luck. Bad luck. Hard. Hard. Bear
up, Twyning. Soldier’s death . . .
Finest death . . . Died for his coun
try . . . Fine boy . . . Soldier’s
death . . . Bad luck. Bad luc ~
Twyning ...”
Twyning, inarticulate, pushed up
his hand and felt for Sabre’s hand
and clutched it and squeezed it con
vulsively.
Sabre said again, “There, there,
Twyning. Hard. Hard. Fine death.
. . . Brave boy . . .’’ He dissen
gaged his hand and turned and
walked very slowly from the room.
He went along the passage, past
Mr. Fortune’s door towards that
which had been his own, still walk
ing very slowly and with his hand
against the wall to steady himself.
He felt deathly ill . . .
He went into his own room, un
entered by him for many months,
now his own room no more, and
dropped heavily into the familiar
chair at the familiar desk. He put his
arms out along the desk and laid his
hand upon them. Oh, cumulative
touch! He began to be shaken with
onsets of emotion, as with sobs. Oh,
cumulative touch!
. The communicating door opened
and Mr. Fortune appeared. He stared
at Sabre in astounded indignation.
"Sabre! You here! I must say—l must
admit—!”
Sabre clutched up his dry and ter
rible sobbing. He turned swiftly to
Mr. Fortune find put his hands on
the arms of the chair to rise.
A curious look came upon his face.
He said, “I say, I’m sorry. I’m
sony. “I—l can’t get up.”
Mr. Fortune boomed, “Can’t get
up!”
~ “I say—No. I say, 1 think some
things happened to me. I can’t get
up.”
The door opened. Hapgood came
in,“and Nona.

A change came over his face. He
collapsed back in the chair.
“Marko! Marko!”
She who thus cried ran forward
and threw hetself on her knees be
side him, her hands stretched up to
him.
Hapgood turned furiously on Mr.
Fortune. “Go for a doctor! Go like
hell! Sabre! Sabre, old man!”
"Hemorrhage on the brain,” said
the doctor. “ . . . Well, if there’s
no more effusion of blood. You quite
understand me. I say if there isn’t
... Has he been through any
kind of strain?”
“Trouble!” said Hapgood. "Strain.
He’s been in hell—right in.”
When he was removed and they
had left him, Nona said to Hapgood
as they came down the steps of the
County Hospital, “There was a thing
he was so fond of, Mr. Hapgood:
“ . . . O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far
behind?
“It comes to me now. There must
be a turning now. If he die? . . .
still, a turning.”

ged a solemn head at the friend of his
newly returned from a long visit to
America. lie wagged a solemn head:
“She’s got a divorce, that wife of
his . . .
“I’ve told you in my letters how he
went on after that collapse, that
brain hemorrhage. I told you we got
Ormond Clive on to him. Clive was
a friend of that Lady Tybar. She
was with Sabre all the time. Pretty
well every day I’d look in. Every
day Ormond Clive would come. “Time
and again we’d stand around the bed
we three—watching. Impenetrable
and extraordinary business! There
was his body, alive, breathing. His
I mind, his consciousness, his ego, his
self, his whatever you like to call it—
not there. Away. Absent. Not in
that place.
Yesterday Ormond Clive said Sa
bre might be cautiously approached
about things. For three weeks past
Clive’s not let us—me or that Lady
Tybar— him. Yesterday we were
permitted again; and I took steps to
be there first. ‘You know your
wife’s divorced you, old man?’ He
said painfully, ‘Yes, I know. I re
member that.’
“Os course, it will come back to him
in tim« that the business hadn’t hap
pened before his illness. In time he’ll
begin to grope after detailed recollec
tion, and he’ll begin to realize that
he never did go through it and that
it must have happened while he was
ill. There’ll be another too.
He’ll find his wife has married
again. Yes, fact! I heard in a round
about way that she’s going to marry
an old neighbor of theirs, chap called
Major Millet, Hopscotch Millet, old
Sabre used to call him. However,
that’s not the thing—that will have
happened and will make him thank
God. What do I mean? Well, that’s
telling; and 1 don’t feel it’s quite
mine to tell. Tell you what, you
come around an hae a look at the
old chap tomorrow. I dare bet he’ll
be on the road towards it by then
and perhaps tell us himself.”

Sabre was sitting propped up in
bed awaiting who next might come.
The nurse had told him he was to
have visitors that morning.
The door opened and one came in.
Nona.
She said to him, “Marko 1”
He had no reply that he could
make.
She slipped off a fur that she was
wearing and came and sat down be
side him. She wore what he would
I have thought of as a kind of waist
i coat thing, cut Ijke his own waistcoat
> but short; and opened above like a
’ waistcoat but turned back in a white
; rolled edging, revealin all her
throat. She had a little close-fitting
hat banded with flowers and a loose
veil depended from it. She put back
the veil. Beauty abode in her face
as the scent within the rose, Hapgood
had said; and, as perfume deeply in
haled, her serene and tender beauty
penetrated Sabres’ senses, propped
up, watching her. He had something
to say tp her.
“How long is it since I have seen
you, Nona?”
“It’s a month since I was here,
Marko.”
“I don’t remember it.”
“You’ve been ill; oh, so ill.”
He said slowly, “Yes, I think Ive
been down in a pretty deep place.”
• z You’re going to be splendid now,
Marko.”
He did not respond to her tone. He
said, “I’ve come on a tot in the last
few weeks. I’d an idea you’d been
about me before that. I’d an idea
you’d be coming again. There’s a
thing I’ve been thinking out to tell
you.”
She breathed, “Yes, tell me, Mar
ko.’
But he did not answer..
She said, “Have you been thinking
in these weeks, while you’ve been
coming on, what you are going to
do?”
His hands, that had been crumpling
up the sheet, were now laid flat be-)
fore him. His eyes, that had been
regarding her, were now
fiom her, fixed ahead. “There is
nothing I ean do, in the way you
mean.”
She was silent a little time.
“Marko, , we’ve riot talked at all

about the greatest thing—of course
they’ve told you?—the armistice, the
war won. England, your England
that you loved so, at peace, victori
ous; those dark years done. England
her own again. Your dear England,
Marko.”
He said, “It’s no more to dd with
me. Frightful things have happened
to me. Frightful things.”
She went on. “There’s your book
—your ‘England.’ You have that to
go to now. And all your plans—do
you remember telling me all your
plans? Such splendid plans. And
first of all your ‘England’ that you
loved writing so.”
He said, "It can’t be. It can’t be.’
She began again to speak. He
said, “I dont want to hear those
things. They have nothing to do with
me.”
He then aroused himself and spoke
and had a firmness in his voice. “And
I’ll tell you this,” he said. “This was
what I said I had to tell you. When
you go, you are not to return. I
don’t want to see you again.”
She drew a breath, steadying her
self, “Why not, Marko?”
“Because what’s been has been.
Done. I’ve been through frightful
things. They’re on me still. They
always will be on me. But from
everything that belongs to them I
want to get right away. And I’m
going to.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know. Only get right
away.’
She got up. “Very well. I under
stand.” She turned away. “It
grieves me, Marko. But I under
stand. I’ve always understood you.”
She turned again and came close to
him. “That’s Avhat you’re going to
do. Do you know what Im going
to do?”
He shook his head. He was breath-

INDIGESTION
Bu«y Public Official Say* Thed*
ford'* Black-Draught Help* Him
Keep Physically Fit.
Clay City, Ky.—“l have been in
business here for twenty-one years;
am also coroner, riding the Kentucky
hills and hollows in all kinds of
wexther and under all kinds of con
ditions,” says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. "To he able to do so, I must
keep physically fit, and Thedford’s
Black-Draught is my stand-by.
“These trips used to give me head
aches, and that, I found, came from
hurried meals or from constipation.
"I was convinced‘that Black-Draught
was good, so now I use it, and it gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the
liver, relieves indigestion, and certain
ly is splendid. I am never without it.”
When you have a feellug of discom
fort after meals, causing a bloating
sensation, headache, bad breath, and
similar common symptoms, try taking
a pinch of Black-Draught after meals —
a pinch of the dry powder, washed
down with a swallow of water. This
has been found to assist the stomach
and liver to carry on their normal
work, and helps prevent, or relieve,
constipation.
Your druggist can supply you with
this well-known, purely-vegetable liver
medicine. Insist upon Thedford’s, the
original and only genuine Black-
Draught liver medicine. NC-137a
