INSURABLE.

«. (Continued.)

thoughts moving beneath her white, Im- < passive face like salt tides below a frozen surf aoe. It was a strong, stern face, tell ing of a present of pain and faintly hinting of a past of prettiness. She seemed alono m the populated ward, and indeed the world was bare for her. Most of her life had been spent m the Warsaw Ghetto, where she was married at 16, 19 years before. Her only surviv ing son — a youth whom the English at mosphere had not improved — had sailed away to trade with the Kaffirs, and her husband had not been to see her- for a fortnight, 1 When the visitors began to arrive, her torpor vanished. She eagerly raised the half of her that was not paralyzed, partially sitting np, but gradually ex pectation died ont of her large gray eyes. There was a buzz of talk m the room. The hydrocephalus girl was the gay oenter of a group. The Polish grandmother who onrsed her grandohil dren when they didn't come and when they did was denouncing their neglect of her to their faces. Everybody had somebody to kiss or quarrel with. One or two acquaintances approaohed the bedridden wife, too, but she would speak no word, too proud to ask after her husband and wincing nndex the sig nificant glances occasionally oast m her direction. By and by she had the red screen placed round her bed, which gave her artificial walls and a quasi privacy. Her husband would know where to look for her. "Woe is me!" wailed her octogenari an oountrywoman, rocking to and fro. "What sin have I committed to get such i grandohildren? You only come to see if the old grandmother isn't dead yet. So sick, so sick, so sick!" Twilight filled the wards. The white beds looked ghostly m the darkness. The last visitor departed. Sarah's hus band had not yet come. "He is not well, Mrs. Kretznow," Sister Margaret ventured to say m her best Yiddish, "or he is busy working. Work is not so slack any more." Alone m the institution she shared Sarah's ignorance of the Kretznow scandal. Talk of it died before her youth and sweetness. "He would have written, " said Sarah sternly. ' 'He is wearied of me. I have lain here a year. Job's curse is on me. " "Shall I to him," Sister Margaret paused to excogitate the word, "write?" "No; he hears me knocking at his heart." They had flashes of strange savage poetry, these crude yet complex souls. Sister Margaret, who was still liable to be startled, murmured feebly, "But" — "Leave me m peace 1" with aery like that of a wounded animal. The matron gently touched the nov ice's arm and drew her away. "I will write to him; " she whispered. ' Night fell, but sleep fell only for some. Sarah Kretznow tossed m a hell of loneliness. Ah, surely her husband had not forgotten her ! Surely she would not lie thus till death-r-that f aroff death her strong religious instinct would forr bid her hastening ! She had gone into the refuge to save him the constant sight of her helplessness and the cost of her keep. Was she now to be cut off forever from the sight of his strength? I The next day he came by special in [ vitation. His face was sallow, rimmed with swarthy hair; his under lip was sensuous. He hung his head, half veil ing the shifty eyes. < Bister Margaret ran to tell his wife Sarah's face sparkled. "Put up the soreen!" she murmured and m its shelter drew her husband's head to her bosom and pressed her lips to his hair. But he, surprised into indiscretion, murmured, "I thought thou wast dy ing." A beautiful light came into the gray eyes. "Thy heart told thee right, Herzel, my life. I was dying for a sight of thee." "But the matron wrote to me press ingly," he blurted out. He felt her breast heave convulsively under his face. With her hands she thrust him away. "God's fool that I am! I should have known. Today is not visiting day. They have compassion on me — they see my sorrows — it is public talk. " His pulse seemed to stop. ' 'They have talked to thee of me, " he faltered. "J did not ask their pity, but they saw how I suffered. One. pannot hide one's heart." "They have no right to talk," he muttered m sulky trepidation. ' 'They have every right, ' ' she rejoined sharply. "J£ thou hadst come to see me even onee — why hast thou not?" "I — i — have been traveling m the country with cheap jewelry. The tailor ing is so slack." "Look me m the eyes! The law of Moses? No; it is a lie. God shall for give thee. "Why hast thou not come?" "I have told thee. " "Tell that to the Sabbath tirewoman! Why hast thou not come? Is it so very muoh to spare me an hour or two a week? If I could go out like some of the patients, I would come to thee, but I have tired thee out utterly" — ,"No, no, Sarah," he murmured un easily. "Then why"— He was covered with shame and con fusion. His face was turned away. "I did not like to come," he said desper ately. "Why not?" Crimson patches came and went on the white cheeks. Her heart beat madly. "Surely thou canst understand?" "Understand what? I speak of green, and thou answerest of blue. " "I answer as thou askest. " "Thou answerest not at all." "No answer is also an answer," he snarled, driven to bay. "Thou under standest well enough. Thyself saidst it Was publio talk. " "Ah-h-h!" m a stifled shriek of de spair. Her intuition divined everything. TJie shadowy, sinister suggestions she had so long beat haok hy foroe of will took form and substance. Her head fell baok on the pillow, the eyes dosed. {To be continued )
