Thrust. and riposte had followed each other with such deadly speed and siickness that Gerald had not realized how close he had been pushed to a gulf in his married life. uithout eve-n appreciating that gulf's existence. He found himself v.'rippi.ng the arms of his chair. and having to check the tntitx.-hing of his lips before he spoke again.

"I see." he said quietly. "I thought -well. that you were found ed me- fond enough of me to put up with things--tn--"

He couldn't. go on. And that ap- pealing helplessness and charm. which had won her heart originally. came back to check aheiirs anger, like some unhappy ghost.

"I'm fond of you. Gerry," she said

"But how long am I going on being

all day and every day. It's vilely un-

comfortable-and Chinese works don't appeal to me. It isn't as it there was even the society of the average Treaty part. I'm alone. Gerry, eight hours a day. And you're telling me that I'm going on being alone eight hours a clay for two years! It's a long time, Gerry. Can't you understand?"

"There are James and his wife,"

breaking his heart at having to quit. If you threw it up he could stay on. and you could persuade Mr. Greer to confirm it."

Gerald laughed bitterly.

Old Greer vmnts Dale shifted. I tell you. His blessed independence has got them properly steamed up. Besides:-how could I quit. after all the fuss we both made to get the job? Be sensible. Sheila!" Sheila looked at him steadily. "You could do it perfectly easi- ly--ivf you'd start thinking of me. and leave yourself out of the pic- ture for A little."

"You wouldn't." sncered Gerald. "be thinking of yourself?"

"Of course I am." said Sheila calmly. "But my selfishness is com- monsense. for both our sakes. You know as well as I do that you'l'. ncvcr be up to tackling this Job, however long you slay!"

"Phat." said Gerald. "is absurd!" "it's not absurd-it's common sense. You've plenty of advantafzts ovcr Leslie, Gerald. but even I child could see that you've not his knack for business, quite apart from his gift for handling Chinese."

I "THAT'S ABOUT ENOUGH SHEILA!"

During that last sentence a queer choking feeling rose, in Gerald ilav:-lnck's chest. and seemed to spread l"pWardAl stifling into his ihroai. He got out of his chair with a quick desperately jerked move- ment of his limbsalmmt as if re- pelling a physical assault. And when he spoke, he was almost sur- prised to hear his own words. so sure had he been that his feelings were strangling them before they could be fnrmcd by his lips.

”Has Dale been discussing me with you. Sheila?" he demanded. t'0f course not!" "Well-you're infernally sideraic of his interests all sudden!"

"I'm much more concerned about our own Gerald."

"I can look after them. thanks!" "That's justihe point. I don't be- lieve you can. It's rotten to mess HI! our lives for your vanity!" Gerald took a step forward. The -breath whistied between his teeth. and his nostrils diiai.ed.,'l'here was something ridiculous in the primi- tive quality of his anger. For a moment Sheila believed he would strike her.

"I think that's about enough, Sheila." he said at last.

But the girl knew in that instant that she had won. And she pressed -home her advantage remorselessly:

"I don't agree. When you asked me to mlrry you. you said um you WV” mt If you love me at all. you'll do what I ask you and chuck "ill 103-" She 410191104 her voice and held out her hands to him, "Please. Ge-rry-just because 1 up yorlti-1.-for my sake!"
