She sat down and found the number Lakeland 7643-M. Miss Thornton? I'm glad it's you. Your fiance, Mr. Drake has just been in a motor acci- dent. He has been seriously hurt and his condition is too critical for him to be moved at once and he is at 419 Holborn Street. It's on the west side of the city. I'm speaking for .Dr. Murphy. He would appreciate it if yogi would come at once as Mr. Drake has been asking for you. 419 Holborn Street. Amoury spent a frantic half hour searching for Holborn street and when she did find it her eyes were so dimmed by tears that she could scarcely see the numbers. Ah, there it was, a little dingy house that had not been painted for years. There was no front lawn and it was in a street lined with similar houses. A gaunt, unhappy- looking woman answered the door. Miss Thornton? Come right in. She led the way into the living room. If Amoury's whole attention had not been focused on Alan she would have been appalled by the room. It was a dark room with but one small window which had a torn blind but no curtains. The floor was dusty, and bare of a rug. There were Lonclon's Exclusive Sportswear 59 Woolen Shoppe CHILDRENS TOGGERY LINGERIE ,, HOSIERY Q43 Dundas St. Phone Met.

Thornton, to Mr. Robert Alan Drake, son of Col. and Mrs. Robert M. Drake, the marriage to take place early in the spring. A gay winter followed for Amouryg teas, dances, the theatre, the opera and later there were showers and her trousseau to think about. It happened in the spring just three weeks before the wedding was scheduled. Amoury came in humming. She had been to the first trying-on of her wedding dress-a lovely thing of ivory satin to be sown with seed pearls, and the invitations had been sent to the printers. Over seven hundred would be sent out. There was a telephone call for you, Miss Thornton, while you were out, said the maid. 'AThey said it was very urgent. I've left the num- ber on the pad for you.

Alan lay on a cot with the steamer rug from his own car thrown over him. A gray bearded man stood near. Miss Thornton? You got my message. I'm afraid he's unconscious now and I hold out little hope of him coming to again. You don't mean 4- I fear so. There's no hope of recovery. His mother will be here any minute. He went over and stood by the window. Amoury drew up one of the chairs and sat down by her lover. Through her tears she could hardly see his once-handsome face, blood-stained and set in an agonized expression. His eyes were shut. Amoury took his left hand n one of hers while with the other she smoothed back his rumplerl black hair. Then through the house came stealing a sweet sound. It was an almost ethereal voice singing n plaintive melody. It soothed Amoury. The gaunt woman, much perturbed, put her head in the door. 'AO excuse it, Miss, she apologized. It's my daughter. She don't know. I'll just go and stop her. A Amoury shook her head in a dazed way. It's all right. It's lovely. But a moment or two after the singing stopped abruptly. It was succeeded by a knocking at the door, a murmur of voices, a scuffling of feet and the sound of crying. Mrs. Drake came in, her handkerchief held to her eyes. Amoury went up to her and slipped an arm around the older woman. Oh Amoury! Amoury! My boy. My dear, dear boy! XVhatever shall I do? she was almost hysterical. About a week after the funeral Amoury went to see Mrs. Herd. She was the woman at whose home Alan had died. Amoury was anxious to do something for herfshe had seemed so wretched and her house was so miserable.
