THE LIFE-SAVER 127 SHE SMILED: HE STAYED Jack Ronald went back to the headland where he could quiet his troubled spirit, where he could fill his lungs with air less stifling than the atmosphere of a self -advertising gentleman with a roll. There was nothing before his eyes but the dreary expanse of the sea and the fathomless, gray sky. There he sat, straining his eyes in a vain scrutiny of the unattainable, when he heard a soft voice — it was that of Jessica — and he saw her out of the corners of his eyes. She sat down near him with averted face. ' ' Going away ? ' ' she asked. He refused to look at her. ' ' I leave today," he muttered. "Where are you going ?" she pouted. ' ■ To another part of the world, ' ' he growled. "For good?" she frowned. "For good," he scowled.
