. CHAPTER XXXVIII
.tevér it was that Ralph Tru-
_ , wanted to say to Billy that
glit wan not to be said, for quite
uddenly her overtaxed body and her
grasped nerves gave way. While T.
| - Q. Curtis and ííyda Lomax looked oil
s->rln amazement she began to laugh and
Is*, cry. simultaneously, while her dis-
traught fingers tore at her short,
j curly hair. T. Q. stooped and picked
S*lier up to carry her to her room.
Nyda followed and helped Viola to
0 get the hysterical girl into bed- When
" . the doctor came he gave her a strong
sedative, ran inquisitive professional
fingers .over her thin, tiny body, 11s-
'r[ tened long and frowningly at her er-
Ai ratically beating heart, took her
~l' blood, pressure, frowned and out in
"" the hall in conference with T. Q- pr^-
— nounced his verdict.
"Absolute rest, a lot of nourish-
/-Mng foód„'She> fifteen pounds under-
' jweight, and "her blood pressure is twen
ty points below normal, and less
'.•? work for the next bíx months. She's
5* been overdoing, apparently, need?
building Up. Nothing organically
1 -; wrong, except a tricky heart. There;
„ > a slight murmur, but nothing to be
** alarmed at. Thousands of people have
more heart trouble than than that
child has and never suspect it. Keep
her in bed for several days, 00 ex-
■'<; citement." • ¡
jf When T. Q. tiptoed clumsily into
¿¿ Her room the next morning, he to 1(1
* her that he had written a note to
Professor Navratil asking him to ex-
í „ cuse, her from violin lessons for a
month.
"We're not going to take any
*;■ chances with you, young lady," T.
Q. told her. "You've been practicing
too much.'in $ j
¿fe. Billy turned her head away so he
*■' could not see the guilt and shame in
,.«• her eyes. If he only knew how she
' _ had neglected her Violin.
"Want your mother 10 come and
'«feo you today?" ho went on, strok-
~ ing the languid little hand that lay
'¿.outside the pale green silk coverlet
S." of her bed
*4 Billy shook her head. "No. Mr.
.Curtis. It would only worry her. I'm
„vnot sick, really. I'm just tired—t.li—
ed.'
f* During the morning a great box
-of long-stemmed yellow roses arrtv-
4? cd, with Ralph Truman's card. The
mesage scrawled beneath the engrav-
•• ed name was cryptic, but Billy un-
derstood and was grateful. ".A'vfiilly
' ..sorry—for everything." Dear Ralph.
•' How nice and easy life would have
been for her If she could have fallen
in love with Ralph Truman.
About noon that Saturday she
• asked Viola to bring her writing pa-
per and pen and ink. She had drawn
courage, to write a note to Dal, say-
„¿lng that, for the sake of her health,
i 6he must not see him again for ui
¿-least a month.
* "You ain't got no stationery left,
.Mill Billy," Viola called from the writ
;-,. lng desk. "Wait a minute, I'll gat
.'you some."
^ The colored girl returned within
a few minutes with ' three coives-
£&tMgdjance cards and a couple of en-
velopes. ".Miss Wiunie got a whole
•„'i ew box," Viola chuckled. "She won't
tever miss this li'l bit. Here, honey,
/ here's your fountain pen. Want a
wbook to write on?"
;v But Billy did not hear the ques-
. tion. She was starfng at the corres-
pondence cards that Viola had laid
pon the coverlet. -When the maid
left the rtom, Billy -drew from
r her pillow the note that Dal
written her before bis departure
Chicago. She found that wnat her
startled glance had told her was
cards matched exactly,
had he obtained One of Win-
rts cards? Had he been in her room
he wrote that tender message''
When the doctor camo that after-
n at five, a frightened colored
mert him outside Billy's dóu - and
in a husky whisper that his
n crying fpr fottr
had refused to
(•
Stft.nt terror of pi y going IPto a de"
cline. Want to run away with me,
Billy?"
Billy drew a sharp breath of ih-
ereduloüe relief. "Do you mean it,
Constance? Would you—have meV"
"I'd adore it," Constance lajighed.
"I'Vc just been talking with Mr. Cur-
tis? and he thinks my plau is perfect.
Have, yoii ever been to Crescent
Lake?" She named a famous sum-
mer resort fii the northern part.' of
the slate.
"Only for a weak-end once, with
mother."
"The season hasn't opened yet. so
ill wiíl be miiet, but the big notó!
open the first of April—that's Thurs-
day. People will be coming up for
golf and fishing, but it will be quiet
—not too quiet so we will be bored
with each other, but the sort.of jiuiotf
yob need- Dancing when you reel
likwe' it, ifr nothing to do but laze
around if you feel lazy. Wouldn't
y.ou really like it?"
"I'd love ' it," Billy said simply,
turning her head away so that her
friend wbuld not be embarréssed by
her tears.
'I'll attend to everything. You
don't have to worry about clothés.
I'm sure you have more than enough.
Be surt that you take that lovely
bronze satin dross you wore to my
bridge luncheon, last week. You
bought it at Romaine's shop, didn't
you? I've picked up some decent
things there."
"Romaine's shop?" Billy repeated,
her .heart beginning to pound heav-
ily again.
"That was a slip of the tongue,"
Constance smiled. "I meant Madame
Dubois', of course. But everyone
know that Dal has an interest hi
the place and sends customers to her
Why, dear, what's the matter?"
"Nothing," Billy shook her head,
but she. closed hey eyes to hide the
sick despair in them. Three hundred
and ten dollars. And Dal had led
1 her on—to make a. profit out of her.
"Why Billy, darling, I had no idea
you didn't know.*-'. Gonstaneo kuel¡
by the bed and look Billy's hand? to
cuddle it against her cheek. '~l did-
n't realize it would be a shock to
you. Of course I knew you—you lik-
ed Dal, and 1 supposed of course, he
had ,béen quite l'rank about his con-
nection with the modiste sltop. It's
entirely legitimate, you know. And
he certainly has an exquisite taste
in women's clothes. Annett Truman
bought nearly everything for her Eu-
ropean "trip there."
"Her European trip," Billy repeat-
ed.
"She leaver, today for New York,
and will sail one day this next week.
I'm awfully glad she's going away."
Constance caught herself sharply, ah
she realized that again she waa
treading on dangerous ground, .,<•
Billy's face flushed vividly! ''But I
must, hurry on how, or your doctor
will be blaming mo for tiring you
out. You don't know how glad I am
you're goihg to be with me for a
month, Billy. —I—I like you awful-
ly, you know. We're going to bo the

hastily, after setting the bowl of vio-
lets vpon Billy's bedside talkie. But
she hád not been quick enaugh'to
conceal the fact that her lower lip
was slightly swollen, its ripe red-
ness tinged slightly with purple. As
Billy gazed steadily at her, the blood
flooded Winnie's cheeks and throat.
