farm boy of tba neighborhood, about
a woman who Urea in Dr. Rathbooe'a

Soon after the meeting in the

A cablegram from Dennis arrises.
He is returning from America. That
interrupts what might has* been a
tender episode between Diana and
the Doctor. He leases; later Dennis
cables that hia return will be delay-
ed. Diana, thirsting for lose, turns
her thoughts again to Dr. Rathboae.
She is thinking of him now as ’’Don-
ald.” Regardless of the mysterious
Rosalie.. Diana resolsel to see Dr,
Rathbone. She goes to his bouse,
but as she stands at the front door
the doctor’s big police dog leaps at
her and she feels hi* teeth tearing at
her throat.
Rathbone sasea her from the beast,
dresses her wounds and takea her to
her own cottage. -
Now go on with the story.

When they brought the rug be
wrapped Diana In It and lifted her
in bis arms, carrying her out to the
car himself.
He laid her on the seat with a
cushion beneath her head and let
down the windows to the cool night
air.
"Drive carefully,” he said.
The car moved slowly away.
- Rathbone sat opposite Diana, lean-
ing a little forward, his hands gripp-
ed between bis knees, staring at
her.
It was like some monstrous night-
mare frpm which be could not free
himself.
How bad it happened? Why had
she come? Why, in God’s name,
.bad she come, alone and at this time
of night?
' The car stopped at Miss Starling’s
cottage, and the chauffeur came to
the door.
Rathbone got out. "Don’t touch
her," he aaid briefly.
Rathbone went back into the pas-
sage and called the Creature’s name,
but there was no reply, and with a
muttered imprecation he returned to
the car.
“The place seems deserted. I'll
carry her In. Go In the kitchen and
get some hot water—and bring It
upstairs to me."
He laid Diana on her bed, clum-
sily pulling the quilt aside and then
gently covering her with It, before
he pulled the curtains back and
opened the window wide.
She stared up at him piteously for
a moment before she whispered;
"Am I going to die?”
“No, my dear—no!”
He went on carefully, as if real-
ising tbe importance of every word.
“You've got to be brave and try
never to think about it again. You’ve
got to be very brave and trust me
to look after you. Can you do
that?"
She nodded, slow tears falling
down her face.
“It—hurts so," ahe said.
"Yes." She made a little move-
ment to wipe the tears from her
face, but the pain in her arms was
too great, and Ratbone took hts own
handkerchief and gently wiped them
tor her before he drew his arm from
beneath her head and laid her back
on the pillows.
Her eyea sought his with fear.
"I suppose, when I’m well—you’ll
go again?"
“Oo?—Where r*
“Not see me any more, I mean."
He put his hand pn hera for a
moment: It was like her to touch
hi* tenderness when he had been
trying harshly to condemn her.
“No, not if yon still want me,"
he said.
She said suddenly, with a ghost of
her old childish impertinence, "Poor
Dr. Rathbone—yon can’t quit* escape
me, can you?"
"Have you thought I wished tor
She sighed. "I have thought so—
yes.”
Away in the distance the church
clock struck eleven.
He asked, "Does that mean that
I am still—a wall tor you to lean
against? Wasn’t that what you call-
ed ms?—a safe harbour, Dianar
She pressed bis hand ia assent, tbe
old sweet smile crossing her face
as she looked up st him.
The garden gat* creaked, and Rath-
bone went over to tbe window.
"That is Miss Starling," he said.
‘TU just go down and see her; you
don’t mind being left now lot a
moment?"
Downstairs she could hear him
talking to Mias Starling, and pres-
ently they came up together, Diana
wondered If the Creature could pos-
sibly have been crying, or If it was
Just the night air bad reddened her
lids.
She bent over Diana and rearrang-
ed her pillows and the bedclothes
with capable hands.
“I’ll make yon nice and comfy pres-
ently,” she promised.
She asked no questions, and Diana
liked her better at that moment
than ever before.
"I’ll Just run away and take off
my cloak snd bonnet," she said
practically, and went away.
Rathbone stood st tbe foot of tbe
bed,
“Do you mind if I go now?” Rath-
bone asked. 'Til come in the morn-
ing—quite early."
“You’ve been very kind."
“And you won't worry?"
“No.”
She looked up at him with such
trustful eyas that, moved by a sud-
den impulse which he sould not
control, Rathbone bent down and
kissed her.
A very gentle kiss on tbe fore-
head, Just between her brows, and
he turned away at once, but not be-
fore be had seen the look of hap-
piness that flashed Into her eyes.
“Good-night,” be said again, but
when hs reached the door she called
him back to say:
“I’m glad it wasn't ’good-bye’ this
time.” -
He looked at her gravely,
“I hope you’ll always be glad,” be
said.
CHAPTER XIV
Tbe day Dennis Waterman was
due to arrive at Southhampton Rath-
bone took the bandages from IDana’s
right arm.
“And now there’s something I
want to say to you,” Rathbone said
briskly.
Diana turned round, the old scared
look’ creeping late her eyes.
“Something nasty?”
“Nothing in the least nasty,” he
assured her. "Quite the contrary.
In feet. It's Just this—I want you to
start going about again, to take an
Interest in your old life "
She said slowly, her eyes on his
face:
"When I went to see you that first
day ia Harley Street, you told me
that if I went oh as I was going
then, I should kill myself, snd now
you are toiling me to go back to ft
all.”
"But not at the same breakneck
pace. Besides, you are so much
bettor in every way than you were
then, in spite of this last.
"You cannot go on living here in-
definitely, you know that, Diana, so
the sooner you make a start the
bettor."
She took a little stop towards
him.
"Do you want to get rid of me?"
she asked directly.
"Is that a fair question, do you
think," he asked, "Besides, It won’t,
be ’getting lid of you,' as you put;
it. I shall see you In London some-
times."
“Only—sometimes?" __ _^
He smiled rather constrainedly.
"I know what is best for me," she
said wilfully.
He checked a smile.
“And what is best for you?" be
asked.
“To be where I am happiest,"
Diana said with troubled eyes. “And
I am happiest where I know I shall
see you most often."
And then there followed a pro-
found silence which seemed as
though It could never be broken, till
Rathbone said with an effort;
“We must be very frank with each
other this once, Diana, and then
we'll never talk about It again. 1

- went on: "Everything
is so different since I cam* here,
I don't understand why. I've never

here—no wonder my skin looks so

And then, as there was no answer-
ing smile on bis face, she sighed
and went on.
"I wish I understood about myself.
Sometimes I think that you under-
stand, that you know all about me,
only you won’t explain to me. Why
won’t you?"
"Perhaps because I'm not clever
enough. Perhaps because I know
I should only hurt you."
Diana was looking down st the
little three-cornered scar on her slen-
der arm.
“Well, d’ve got this to remember
you by, anyway,” she said ruefully.
He made a swift movement, as if
of protest, then stood still again.
"Nothing more than that?” he
asked.
