And. before Havelock could Dro- test. he had rim down the steps to his pony. swung himself into the

saddle. and centered off towards the town.

Husband and wife were left star- ing uneasily at each other. "Gerry," said sheila. iidid you know that Leslie was going to leave us after three months?"

Gerald dropped his eyes to con- template the polished tips of his riding boots.

"Yes." he admitted finally. "I did. Why?"

"You mean you knew he wouldn't be replaced when he goes? That we'll be quite alone here?” "Certainly. What are you gettbig at, Sheila?"

' just wanted to know-that's all." And she tucked her riding whip under her arm, and brushed past him into the house.

Gerald unslung his rifle with on irritable jerk. and lighted a cigar- ette. Through the smoke. curling and wreathing out into the wind. less air. he contemplated-not the distant view of Tan Fu. of which already he was more than heartily tired-but the more distant future. Gerald had many weaknesses. But he had one virtue. He seldom lied to. and never deceived himself, And now that he found himself brought. up starkly against the realities of life in North China. he was not at all sure that he could cope with its implications. After all. he had left England primarily for Sheila's sake; to prove his capacity in her eyes. To judge from the look she had just given him. while Leslic Dale was riding off to do the job he ought to be doing himself. Gor- sld was well on the way to proving little so much as his fundamental inferiority to a man whose effici- ency he acknowledged. but who:-c personality he could neither like nor admire. . .

England! What a silly romantic fccl! Gerald thought of Gocdwoocl in high summer of Henley. of hav- ing tea with his uncle on the ter- race of the House of Commons: of. the comfortable flat in the Adelphi with its tiled bathroom. and elegant. furnishings. And he turned back” into Leslie Dale's shabby sitting! rocm with what. was almost at shuddering distaste.

sheila was sitting in A corner of the sofa reading an ancient mags- zine. She did not look up when he came in. She did not seem to notice whether he had come in or not And yet they had been such lovers! She mattered more to him than anything in the world! Surely it wasn't anything in the world! Surc. ly it wasn't possible that this so- cursed place was going to raise bar- riers between him and sheila-no. that was too much of a bad thing. It. didn't bear thinking of. however hypothetically.

The whcle business was Leslie Dale's fault. No one could help drawing unfavourable comparisons, between the raw recruit and the. veteran. It would be all right when- Dale went. of course it would he! all right then. It was only a pity he wasn't going sooner...

Janet and Patrick James-after much private ocmmuning with each other. and -with a good deal of self-questioning-continued to mind their own business according to their rather old-fashioned code of good mhnners. And Leslie Dale was packing his bags.

It was the Reverend Patrick who caught him at it. An outbreak of cholera down river had sent the missionary away three weeks be fore. It was typical of him that he should have looked in at Dale's house on his return, even before letting his wife know that he W8.) back safe and sound. "Of course I'm all right." he said. in reply to Leslieis conventional protest. "And. cf course. Janet know I'm all right.
