SYNOPSIS! When I first met Max de Winter, he was brooding bitterly over. the death of his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in a sailing ac- eldent; my own shyness and naivete-and may unhidden love for kim -made him pay and happy. He asked me to marry him, and we went to Manderley, his famous estate. Everything about the great house bore Rebecca's influence, and Mrs
Danvers,
ers, the house-keeper, seemed parti- . cularly to resent my taking Rebecca's place as the mistress of Mander- iry. Surprisingly, she suggested a costume for me, for the Manderley Masquerade Ball, but when I appeared in it, Max furiously sent me upstairs to change, Airs Danvers watted there, smiling, to tell me it was the ser costume tebeca had wornl Suddenly there was commotion outside; a ship had gone ashore, and a diver had discovered Rebecca's sailing boat.
Chapter Five
I stumbled across the bench, looking for Maxim. I found him, in Rebecca's cottage.
When I saw him, he was stand- ing near the strangely blazing fire- place, dishevelled, his evening clothes of the night before stained with sea water. His face seemed blank, yet ravaged with the look of a
a man who could not bear to see more. "Maxim." I entled, "Maxim --you haven't had any sleep." He turned to me, and with a strange Lenseness drew me close."
"You've forgiven me, haven't you?" I said.
"Forgive you? What have I got to forgive you for?"
"For last night my stupidity about the costuine.".
"Oh, that! I was angry with you, wasn't 12"
"Yes," I whispered. "Oh, Máxim, can't we start all over again?" 1 burst out, "I don't ask that you love me...I won't ask impossible things. I'll be your friend and companion... I'll be happy with that,"
He took my face la his hands. "How much do you love me?" he asked, his voice tortured by some- thing I did not know.
"Maxim, must I tell you...?" "I'm afraid it's too late, my dar- ling..." he said slowly. "It's all over now. The thing's happened- the thing I've dreaded."
"Maxim, what are you trying to tell me?"
"Rebecca has won."
I could only think of his love for her, of how I had lost.
"Her shadow has been between Ns all the time-," he went on "She knew that this would hap pen."
"What are you saying?" "They sent a diver down. found another boat--"

Re-
"The diver made another dis- covery. He broke one of the ports and looked in. There was a body in there Rebecen's."
"No, no!" I screamed.
"The woman that was washed up at Edgecombe-that wasn't Re- becen. It was the body of some unknown woman., I identified it, but I knew it was not Rebecca. It vas ni a lie. I knew where Re- becca's body wast Lying on the cabin floor, on the bottom of the sca."

"How did you know, Maxim?" He turned to face me. "Because put it there!" Ile stepped nearer me. "Will you look into my eyes and tell me that you love me now?" he said, billerly. You see it's too Inta."
I could not speak, with the hor- rer, the stunning surprise of what he had said. And then I could not resist throwing my arm Around him.
How could we be close when 1 knew you were always thinking of Rebecca? How could you nak me to love you when I knew you loved Rebecca stil?"
"You thought I loved Rebecen? You thought that? I hated her."
I could not believe my cars. Then he poured out what was in him. He raced up and down, speaking quietly, reflectively,
"They told me I was the luckiest mun on earth when I married her ...she was so lovely, so accoin- plished, so amusing. I believed her, completely but I never had a moment's happiness with her... She was incapable of love, or ten- derness, or decency. I found out about her four days after we were married.

"But you didn't kill her...it was an accklent."

He went on, renunting how he hot put her into the cabin of her bout, salled n safe distance from shore, opened the sea cocks and sunk the boat. "Maxim," I asked, does anyone know of this?"
"No one except you and me." Frantically, I began to tell him what we must do, that we must say he made a mistake in ident!- Jying the body, that Rebecca was dead, and could not bear witness. He was not listening.

"I told you once that I'd done very selfish thing in marrying you,' he sald, holding my arms very tightly, "You can understand now what I meant. I've loved you, my darling I shall always love you-- but I've known all along that Re- becca would win in the end!"
"No! No!" 1 exclaimed. I clung to him. "She hasn't wont What- now she hasn't ever happens won."
Slowly, surely, as Maxim had known, the web of the past drew tighter in the days that followed. Kindly old Colonel Julyan, the Chief Magistrate for the County, performed his duty most respect-
