CHAPTER 1
I “Why, Frank! You’re back again
* and safe!” The young woman in
* mourning held out her hand to the
. . chauffeur. ‘‘My aunt wrote you
«J were a prisoner in Germany.”
ht' "It’s fine to see you. Miss Fay,”
* returned the chauffeur. “They
1 turned us loose after the armistice.”
He hesitated. *‘I—I’d like to say.
; miss, that we all felt something ter
1 rible—the servants. I mean—when
I the news came about poor Mr.
Tudor.”
He shut the door and. climbing in
jPPjJP^hind the wheel, drove down the
W village street. Fay’s soft blue eyes
r bad blurred at the reference to her
,* brother, but she winked back the
* tears determinedly.
Sandy Cove was one of the most
» exclusive of summer colonies, and
\ Fay looked at the superb estates
4 whieh had once been so familiar
with a sense of bewilderment. Every
thing seemed just the same, just as
J she had remembered it. and yet
. there appeared to he a subtle, in
* tangible difference. Could it be
merely her nerves again, those
4 wretched overtaxed nerves whieh
, had driven Iter from her reconstruc
tion work in France?
\ She leaned forward Impulsively.
“My aunt and cousin: they are
both well. Frank?”
, "Yes, Miss Fay.”
Fay sat back once more. Dear
Aunt Clara. Hor/unclo's widow was
as close to her ns her own blood.
' and Laurel, her cousin, had been
like a little dark-eyed, vivacious
sister.
4 The car swirled up the driveway,
anil halted before the steps of the
wide porch, upon which a slender.
* white-clad figure stood.
. Fay had only time to note that Hie
‘ piquant face seemed as childishly
I naive as ever, before her cousin
' folded her in a tense embrace.
"Oh, Fay! Kay*! I thought that
transport never would get in.”
‘ “Laurel, dear!” Fay kissed her
! warmly, and mounted the steps to
» meet the gracious figure advancing
\ toward her.
Mrs. Tudor was thirty-seven and
looked twenty-live, villi the delicate
, Jendcr Irregularity of feature which
- ^Rkst escapes aetual beauty. Every
! VHing about her was pretty; her
» ’Tdond hair and soft blue eyes and
the rose-leaf skin, whieh was inno
« t • nt ««t in*- ciifiii" ' 1 ■
* girlishly .''lemh'r figure moved with
, ;i slow rhjtlnnle glare.
I.ater, during l lie meal, Fay
studied her mini and cousin covert
1>.
It seemed I here was a strnined
note in Laurel's vivacity which be
trayed a nervous tension.
She was pu/.zling over it vlien the
girl remarked:
"You haven't asked alioul any of
tlie old crowd. Fay, Now Unit the
men are back if is like (he old. Sandv
Cove again. Mr. Clayton and others
are staying at the Country Club."
"Mr. Clayton?" Fay glanced up
quickly.
"Yes. One nr I lie dnllar-a>-yoar
liien jn Washington.”
t "He has been inugniflreni Iv gen
i-iods:" Fay’s eves glowed. "1 shall
be glad to see liim again!"
Mrs. Tudor glanced across tlie
table at her niece and smiled.
"He's quite the same as ever,”
she said. "Plays abominable bridge
and talks shop."
"Oh, mother only abuses him be
cause lie is as insane about her as
cvef!" Laurel laughed, but there was
a nervous little quiver in her .voice
as she hurried on. "Jack Huntmgtoo
is at the club—and Harry Cadmus.”
Hhe drew a quick breath as she
mentioned the last name, and her
eyes seemed to burn into her cous
in's. but Fay merely responded
. quietly:
i | "Is he?"
Harry Cadmus! Fay actually had
forgotten his very existence for
•ore than a year. How heartbroken
|e had fancied herself when the
g test came and he had frantically
pulled wires to obtain an assignment
at home rather than face tlie haz
ards of active service! With what
hot scorn had she parted with him!
And now it was with difficulty that
she could conjure up a fleeting im
pression of him.
' Mrs. Tudor rose. "Fay. T did not
inean to touch upon your brother’s
■ death so soon after your return, but
I think you may be glad lo know
• that Wilbur's friend brought all his
things to us, and they are in his old
room now. The key is on your dress
I er.”
■ “It was Captain Warren who
brought them?” Fay asked. "Did
, you like him?”
"We did not even meet him. We
were up in the Berkshires when he
came. By the way, I fancy we shall
have a crowd from the club for tea.”
"Please. Aunt Clara,” Fay pro
tested, "you will let me escape,
'■ won’t you?”
“But they will be so disappoint
ed!” Laurel exclaimed. "Seeing them
In such an informal way will be
easier than if they all paid stiff calls
r>f condolence, if you put off meet
ing them there will be talk.”
“Why?” Fay demanded.
“Well, they’ll think it queer of
you! ‘Nervous breakdown’ is such
an elastic term—”
“Laurel means, dear, that they
will think you are really ill. when
all you need is a good rest,” Mrs.
Tudor interrupted smoothly.
Fay passed her hand over lie 1
eyes. “I am a little tired. I think
1 shall rest a while if I am to meet
these people late*:.”
Fay’s tired nerves relaxed in the
dint quietude of the room which she
was to share with Laurel.
As she picked up her hand mirror
for a glance at her hair, a key on
the dressing table caught her eye
and she put the mirror aside. The
key to Wilbur's room!
Taking up the key she made her
way to the one closed door down the
hall and. unlocking it, paused upon
the threshold.
Her eyes strayed to the mantel,
and with a little exclamation of sur
prise. she drew nearer to it.
A hand grenade, a “tin hat.” and ;
a gas mask! Then all at once she re
called what her aunt had said—that I
Captain Warren had brought Wil
bur's things home. She touched the j
helmet with tender reverence, and|
took up the gas mask, but the dark
staitis upon its case made her re
coil, and the full horror and desola
tion of her loss swept over her.
She returned to her own room to
remove the traces of her emotion in
the determination to take up her
life again among those carelessly
happy people below as soon as she
could.
As she came down tho stairs a
few minutes later a man standing in
the hallway came quickly forward.
"Oh, there you arc, Clara! 1
lull'd voices out on the lawn and
was just about to—”
He paused as the girl advanced
and held out her hand.
“How do you do, Mr. Clayton'.'
Am 1 so very like my aunt? I am
complimented.”
"Miss Tudor!” The newcomer re
covered from his surprise and shook
hands cordially. “When did you re
turn ?”
“.List .his morning. Po you know
f feel like a dancer who suddenly
finds herself out of step?” Fay
smiled. “Silly, isn’t it?”
"No. I don't think it’s silly,” ho
responded. “You’ve been living
under such high pressure that this
seems unreal, as though you were
looking on at some pleasant-man
t.crfd comedy on the stage."
• ■ jft’* I.',... -1
“I want to talk to you,” Clayton
urged suddenly. “Do you know, 1
havn't yet got over the shock you
gave me just now? 1 can never
quite realize that you are actually
grown up, even when I read about
the eitation from General retain.”
“We beard about you, too, ov-r
there.” Fay seated herself. “Our
unit was at the very last of its re
sources when your train-loads of
food came!”
”[ am glad it was of service.”
Clayton paused.
“Well, upon my word!” Mrs.
Tudor’s voire sounded from the
doorway. “When did you arrive,
Kim? I’m glad you found Fay, but
you’ve kept the whole crowd wait
ing Tor ages out on the lawn.”
"I’m sorry.” Clayton rose.
The next hour was less of a trial
to Fay than she had feared, for
after the first flurry of greetings, tin
conversation returned to the cur
rent gossip and the girl was con
tent to sit back and look on.
That evening after her aunt anl
cousin had departed with Mr. Clay
ton to a country club dance, Fay
strolled into the library. She ex
tinguished the lights, seated herself
by the open window and looked out
over the sloping lawn to shadows
which marked the clump of trees
surrounding the tea-house.
So it had been Captain Warren
who brought Wilbur’s things home.
He had come to see her in Paris on
his first furlough after her brother
was killed, and she recalled him as
a tall, self-contained man, with
kindly guay eyes. She wished that
she had been at home here to re
ceive him.
With a start her thoughts came
abruptly back to the present and
she leaned forward. Had some
thing moved there beneath that
clump of trees?
It must be simply her nerves,
which peopled the shadow's. With a
shrug she sank back among the
cushions, and her mind reverted to
the captain once more.
Suddenly she was aw-are of a
rustling in the shrubbery directly
beside the window and without
warning a face appeared within a
few inches of her own!
It was a white, drawn face with
disheveled hair and eyes which
stared W’ildly into hers for a mo
ment. w'hile she held her breath in
surprise and terror.
The next instant it had disap
peared, and there remained only the
night breezo rustling through the
shrubbery.
CHAPTER II
The next morning, when Kay
awakened, she was ready to laugh
at her own fancy of the night be
fore. Her overwrought imagination
had played her strange tricks since
her nerves had given way, but never
had her visions laken so startling a
turn. The pallid horror of it, and
the staring, almost maniacal, eyes
were like nothing she had seen in a
human being: it could only be the
stuff of which nightmares are made.
