Rathbone saves her from the beast,
dresses her wounds and takes her to

that thia is love, but Dr. Rathbone
tells Diana that he can be no more
than a friend, because of things in
Ids life which' he refuses to explain.
He urges her to go back to London.
Dennis Waterman comes to the
cottage to visit her, but she does not
thrill at his presence as she once did.
She goes back to London, and arranges
to meet Dennis in a private room at
a restaurant. While she is waiting
for him Dennis' wife, Linda, comes
in.

"He—refused," Diana said again.
She raised tragic eyes to Linda's un-

"Why should I trouble to lie about

No, Linda would not trouble to lie

"Diana!" Rathbone said again
brokenly.
With a swift movement he leaned
over and took both her wrists in his
grasp, drawing her hands away from
bar convulsed face. He held them fot*

trust himself' sufficiently to tell her

She caught her breath.
"You mean . . . Rosalie?"
"Yes."
There was a long silence. Then she
asked slowly as if she dreaded the
answere and yet must know:
"Who—who—is she?"
She could feel the heavy throbbing
of his heart against her own.
"She's my . . .wife . . . Diana."
CHAPTER XVII
Diana's arm fell from Rathbone's
shoulder, and for a moment she lay
quite still, her mind a blank, her body
limp; then with a swift movement
she slipped from his arms, falling
I back helplessly onto the seat behind
her.
His wife! Such a posibility had
never crossed her mind.
She never doubted the truth of what
he had just said—Rathbone would
never lie to her.
His wife!
Presently Rathbone touched her
hand, rousing her.
"This is our station, Diana."
She stood up obediently, folding
her coat warmly around her.
Hobson was on the platform.
Rathbone spoke to him.
"I'll drive myself. Can you get s
lift back?"
"Yes, sir."
Presently they were alone again
driving through the quiet roads.
Rathbone had not turned in the di-
rection of the cottage, but Diana
hardly noticed; she sat beside him,
lost in a kind of stupor.
Rosalie was his wife; that meant
eternal separation; she could not find
room for any other thought in her
bewildered mind.
Presently they were out in the coun-
try in a narrow road with trees over-
head and hedges on either side; the
lights of the car lamps threw each
separate object into glaring relief be-
fore it swirled past them again into
blackness.
Diana had let the window down,
and the cool air, sweet from its flight
over fields and valleys, blew on her
tired face, reviving her a little.
The quiet hum of the engine seemed
to be saying the same thing to her
over and over again:
"She's his wafe . . . she's his wife
ing to pretend to you that I was not
attracted to her. I was."
