Jane remained with him-reading or talking to him. One day when J aue called Beverly was unusually quiet. As she' started to 'leave he reached for her hand. Jane, dear, can you ever forgive me for the abominable way in which I have treated you? Hush, Bev dear, you know you are forgiven-so why ask? It nearly kills me to think of it. How thankful I am that I found out what she was. Of course, I can never hope for you to marry me-a blind. man-but it would make me happy to know that you cared for me a little. Jane, darling, won't you try? ' I won't have to try, Bev. -And, Bev, darling, nothing' eould make me happier than ,to know that I could live the rest of my life with you- and care for you. Do you think that I, too, will desert you when you need nie? - Jaue! As Jane stooped to kiss him, her eyes filled as she saw the tears trickl- ing from under the bandages over his eyes. . A few weeks later Jane Campbell became Mrs. Beverly Trevour. Again the 'wiseheads' talked of how she was sacrificing her life for the one who had once deserted her. As for Jane and Beverly, their cup of happiness .needed only one drop to ,fill it to overflowing-the re- eovery of Beverly's sight, and- eould the dim veil of the future been drawn aside perhaps even this drop would have been added. ltt B-

One evening near the end of the month Beverly and Marguerite an- nounced their engagement. All eyes immediately turned to Jane and found her with her ever-ready smile. The 'wiseheads' of Kensington again talked-of Beverly's deserti.n1 and Jane 's brave actions. A few days after the announce- ment Marguerite noticed a racer Hying down the street. The car camc to a sudden stop in front of the Tyler home and Jane Campbell alighted and ran up the wa.lk. Oh, Miss Clarkson, she began breatlilessly, I was visiting at thc hospital when they brought Beverly in. He was seriously injured, a. short while ago, when some acids exploded and the doctors think he will never see again. He called for you-so I took the liberty of coming after you. ' ' Beverly-hurt- blind - oh, ,li can 't stand to see him! But, Miss Clarkson, Beverly wants you-don't you understand? pleaded Jane. ' . It always upsets me so to see an injured person-I really ean't go! coolly replied Miss Clarkson. Surely when he wants you, you wouldn't refuse-won't you go? cried Jane. No, I simply can't, answered Miss Clarkson, emphatically. As Jane stumbled into her racer tears of anger iilled her eyes. So that was how Miss Clarkson loved Beverly-to refuse to go to him when he was hurt! As she drove, back to the hospital she could only think of how disappointed Beverly would ' be when he should awake and find Mai'- guerite absent. ' I ' L Won't you please -allow nielto stay here until he awakens? plead- ed Jane of the physicians. I B It's strictly against the rules-?' Uh, but you must let me--I simply must stay ! ' ' As she sat in o11e corner of the room, watching the iigure on the bed for the first gleam of consciousness, Jane felt that her heart would break. Why couldn't it have been she, in- stead of the one whom she loved so dearly? The figure moved slightly and a single word escaped his lips- Jane. Her heart jumped--he was calling her! Jane--dear little J ane-!-what have I done to you? I didn't know -how much--I did love you Jane. She slipped softly to the bedside andtook his hand in hers. t'Yes, Bev, l've come-Jane's here. All night long she sat by the bed side watching for the first sign of returning consciousgess Hlld all night long he rfaved in delirium-of Jane. At dawn her vigil was r-+xvarded. The nurse bade her rest. After another thorough examina- tion the doctors shook their heads doubtfully-he would never see again. Miss Clarkson left Kensington and a few days later a letter came, breaking the engagement. She could not marry a blind man and expect to take care of him all her life! .
