If only the ire hadn't happened just when it did,. she thought, If only it had given hint tline to find her, to take her in his arms I "For saving me," she answered shiply. "For satviig nothing," afilrnied Tre vor. "For saving the nothing that is left of your beauty and freshness and honor after the touch of thit beast." Overwhelming shame stained her cheeks; she felt all that was noble and generous within her shriveling Into a strangling knot. She tried to speak, to protest against his htrdiness and in justice, but site could only gulp. For hours they sat in absolute silence, and gradually the cold that had struck her heart spread through all her body un til her teeth began to chatter. "Why tire you doing itt?" asked Trevor sliarply. "It isn't really cold." "I'm d-d-d-dong it b-b-be cause I c-c-enn't help it," chattered Andrea. "I am c-c-cold !"

At this point in her story Trevor for got to smoke. He clutched .the hot bowl of his pipe in a grip that made his knuckles show white. She could feel him listening with his wh'ole tense body. She hurried on to her, climax; to the description of her strategy In removing the clents and of MacClos ter's terrifying attack. She even re peated some of his words. "He said, 'Waiting up for me, dearie?' and then I drove the nails into his hands and when he snatched them back, I hit him across the head and he fell. And then I heard you coming. I thought I had gone mad, that it was not with my ears but with the longing of my heart that I heard you coming. When I called and you answered I forgot that I had ever known fear; I knew that I was safe. forever and forever." "Good girl," said Trevor hitskily. He reachied out and patted her hand but his thoughts were not altogether with her ; they were lingering behind, hov. ering over the scene of her elemental battle with MacCloster as though he sought to steep his soul In that recol. lection in an elfort to drown for once and all time the ineiory of twenty four hours of torturing Jealousy. "So you're not jealous any more, are you?" pleaded Andrea. ".ealous!" exclaimed eternal man m11patiently. "Who said anything about Jealousy? It's one rotten quality that, thank God, I don't possess. It's the canker-worm that eats into the heart of trust. A man that feels it, deineans the woman lie loves." "I Iow extraordinary," inurnmured Andrea.
