“What hospital?" cried Peter. "Where is she?"

“Wot'll you givc me if I tell you. Guv'nor?" flung back tho urchin. “A pal o’ mine who was there when the ambulance cams, told ms this morning."

Peter pushed a bill into his hand.

"Quick! The address!"

The boy's fingers curled round the money.

"She's ln a ward at the Flower Hospital. The bus’ll take you clown in fifteen minutes."

But Peter had already hailed a taxi, and was oil.

CHAPTER. 51 HER STEADY

When Prudence—jogging in tho ambulance to the Flower Hospital caught sight of her own reflection in a looking-glass that hung on the wall, she gave a cry of terror.

“That isn't me! That isn't me!"

A coal black face-the eyes show- ing with a strange whlte gleam in the surrounding darkness-—gazed menacingly at her. And-merciful heavens! The creature in the mirror had no hair!

She sank back on the pillow. trembling, whilc the nurse bent over her and tried to soothe her.

"Don't: be alarmed, dear. People always look like that when they've been in a fire. The smoke and dirt, you know. We'll wash it oil when- ever we get to the hospital, and you'll be your old self‘ again."

“But my halr—" Prudence put a. hand up to what had been her ‘crowning glory.’ It was gone!

“Never you mind, dear. It'll grow in no time," said the Kindly nurse. "The flames must have got it.“ Prudences lips trembled at the recollection of her terrible escape . the dizzy descent on the 85-

"As like as not, it'll be in all the papers. dear. We'd botisr isle- mph!’

Everyone! That included Peter Armstrong! Strange how she no longer cared what iBen. ‘Iraymore thought of her!

But oh! she longed for Peter's good c,‘ ' . She couldn't bear to go down in his estimation.

It was nearly ten o'clock before the wire was sent ofl‘ to her people, and at. that time Peter Armstrong all unknowing was on his way to New York City.

“Keep her quiet all morning," was the doctor's orders yhen he made his rounds. '

Prudence was. in a semi-private ward, its only occupant. The other bed was vacant.

The nurse flitted in and out in her white gown and apron, and her smartly ruflled cap. She wasn't very old herself, and had taken quite a fancy to the romantic-looking little invalid.

For-despite her burnt looks- Prudence still looked pretty, once her face was washed oi grime and soot.

“Ohl" Prudence drew out the monsyllable, as she started at the strange image in the mirror. "Oh, what on earth will mother say?"

The nurse laughed gaily.,
