sion for the other, and she felt with
out reasoning, where before she had
tried to reason herself into feeling.
The moment had come. She had seen
the man to whom her happiness was
to be, the time was short, the danger
great il she should not grasp what her
destiny would offer her but once.
Had the Wanderer been by her side,
she would have needed to ask no
| question, she would have known and
been satisfied. But hours must pass
before she could see him again, and
every one minute spent without him
grew more full of anxiety and dis
turblng passion than the last.
She placed sincere faith in the old
mans answers to her questions, re-
CARELESS of the matter inquired into.
She believed that in the mysterious
condition between sleep and waking
which she could command, the knowl-
edge of things to be was with him as
certainly as the memory of what was
even now passing in the outer world.
To her, the one direction of the faculty
seemed no less possible than the 9TH
ers, though she had not yet attained
alone to the vision of the future.
Hitherto the old man S utterances had
been fulfilled to the letter. More
than once, as Keyork Arabian had
limited, she had consulted his second
sight in preference to his own, and she
had not been deceived. She looked
upon him as the Pythoness Delphi
looked upon the divinity of her inspi-
ration.
Unorna bent over the sleeper, look
ing earnestly into his face and she
laid one hand upon his brow.
You hear me?" she said, slowly
| and distinctly. You are conscious
of thought, and you see into the fut-
ure?"
The massive head stirred, the long
| limbs moved uneasily under the white
robe, the enormous bony hands con-
tracted, and 10 the cavernous eyes the
great lids were slowly lifted A dull
stare met her look.
"Is it hep she asked, speaking
more quickly in spite of herself. is
it he at last?'
There was no answer.
You must answer my que ton.
command you to answer me. Is it
he?"
You must tell me before can an
swer.r
The words came in feeble, piping
| voice, strangely out of keeping with
| the colossal frame and imposing feat
| ures.
Unorna's face was clouded, and the
ready CLEAN of anger flashed in her
| eyes as it ever did at the smallest OPP
| position to her will.
Can you not see him." she asked
| impatiently.
II cannot see him unless you lead
me to him and tell me where he is"
Where are your
'1n your mind"
And what are yOu?n
Il am the image in your eyes"
There is another man in my
mind" said Unorna. Il command
you to see him."
Il see him. He is tall, pale, noble,
suffering. You love him."
"Is it ne who shall be my life and
my death? Is It he who shall love
me as other women are not loved?"
The weak voice was still for mo-
ment, and the face seemed covered
with veil of perplexity.
Il see with your eyes" said the old
man at last.
''AnG | command you 20 see into
the future with your owns" cried
Unorna, concentrating her terrible
will as she grew more impatient.
There was an evident struggle in
the giants mind, an effort to obey
which failed to break down an obsta-
Gle. She bent over him eagerly, and
her whole con seriousness was conferred
in the words she desired him TO
speak.
Il see. He will love you," said
the vremui0u3 tones.
Then it is he"
lit is he. -
With a suppressed cry Of triumph
Unorna lifted ner head and stood up
right. Then she Stated Violently SIC
grew very pale.
'You have probai.'" killed -. and
spOued everything" said a rich
voice at her elbow-the very sub-bass
OF all possible voices.
Keyork Arabian was beside her. In
her intense excitement she had not
heard him enter the room and he had
surprised her at once in the breaking
of their joint convention and in the
revelation of her secret. If Unorna
could be said to know the meaning of
the word fear in any degree whatso-
ever, il was in relation to KeYork Ar
