While she was speaking Keyork began to
ton. twisting his fingers and bending down his
head.
My accursed folly" he exclaimed. as though
speaking TO himself. "My damnable ingenuity
IN being odious! 1t is not to be believed! That
man of my age should think one thing and
say another-like o tetchy girl or a spoiled
child! The stupidity of the thing! And then
to have the idiotic utterances of the tongue
registered and judged as confession OF faith
-Or rather of faithlessness! But it is only Just
1t is only right. Keyork Arabian's self is
ruined again by Keyork Arabian's vile
speeches. which have no more to do with his
self than the clouds on earth with the sun
above theml Ruined. ruined!-lost, this time!
Cut off from the only living being he respects
the only being whose respect be covets; sent
back to die in his loneliness to perish like the
friendless beast as he is, to the funereal music
of his own irresponsible snarling! To growl
himself outof the world, like a broken-down
old tiger in the Jungle, after soaring away all
peace and haDpiness and help with his sense
less growls! Ugh! 1t is perfectly just. 1t is
absolutely right and supremely horrible to
think of ! A fool to the last, keyork, as you
always were-and who would make friend of
such fool2'
Unorna leaned upon the back of the chair
watching him and wondering whether, after
all, he were not in earnest this time. He
Jerked out his sentences eXcitedly. striking his
hands together and then swinging his arms in
strange gestures His tone. as he gave utter
ance TO his incoherenJ self-condemnation, was
full of severe conviction and of anger against
himself. He seemed not to see Unorna, nor to
notice her presence in the room. Suddenly be
stopped, looked at her and came toward her.
His manner became very humble.
You are right my dear lady," he said "
have no claim to your forbearance for my out
rageous humors. have offended you, insulted
you. spoken to you as no man should speak to
any woman. / cannot even ask you to forgive
me, for if tell you that 1 arn sorry you will
not believe me. Why should you? But you
are right This cannot go on. Rather than
ha ric ot m ahOm-
Unable temper, will go away"
His voice trembled and his bright eyes
seemed to grow dull and misty.
Let this be our parting" he continu ued, as
though mastering his emotion. II have no
right to ask anything. and yet ask this of you.
When have left you, when you are safe forever
then. do not think unkindly of Keyork Arabian.
He would have seemed the friend he is but for
his unruly tongue"
Unorna hesitated moment. Theu she put out
her hand, convinced of his sincerity in spite OF
herself.
Let bygones be bygones, Keyork,n she said.
''YOu must not CO. for believe you."
At the words the light returned to his eyes;
the face which could be so immovably express
You are as kind as you are good, Unorna,
and as good as YOU are beautiful" he said; and
with a gesture which would have been courtly
in q man of nobler stature. but which was
almost grotesque in such dwarf he raised her
nngers to his lips.
This time no peal of laughter followed to de.
stroy the impression he had produced upon
Unorna. She let her hand rest in his a few
seconds and then gently withdrew it.
II must be going" she said.
so soonP" exclaimed Keyork regretfully.
There were many things l had wished to say
to you to-day. but if you have o time"
II can spare a few moments" answered
'One thing is this" His face had again be-
come impenetrable as mask of old ivory. and
he spoke in his ordinary way. This is the
question: ! was in the Teyn Kirche before
in churchr' exclaimed Unorna III some sur
prise. and with slight smile;
"IfreQuently go to church, answered Keyork
gravely while there 1 met an old acquaint-
ance of mine, a strange fellow whom have not
seen for years. The world is very small. He
is q great traveler-a wanderer through the
world"
Unorna looked up quickly, and very slight
color appeared in her cheeks.
Who Is he?" she asked, trying to seem indif
ferent. What is his namer
His name? 1t is strange. but cannot recall
it. He is very tall, wears dark beard, has a
pale, thoughtful face. But need not describe
him, Tor he told me that he had been with you
this morning. That is not the point"
He spoke carelessly and scarcely glanced al
Unorna while speaking.
what of him?' she inquired, trying to seem
as Indifferent as her companion.
He is little mad. poor man, that is all. II
struck me that, il you would, you might save
him. know something of his story, though
not much. He once loved young girl, now
doubtless dead, but whom he still believes to be
alive, and he spends-or wastes-his life in a
useless search for her. You might cure him OF
the delusion."
How do you know that the girl is deadf'
"She died in Egypt, four years ago." answered
Keyork. They had taken her there in the
hope of saving her. for she was at deaths door
already, poor child"
"But il you convince him OF that"

you could cure him in simpler and safer wsy
But, OF course, it lies with you."
"lf you wish it will try" Unorna answered,
turning her face from the light But he will
probably not come back to me"
He will. 1 advised him very strongly to come
back, very strongly indeed. fhope did right
Are you dispeasedT'
Not at allr' Unorna laughed little. "And
if he comes. how am to convince him that he is
mistaken and that the girl is dead?"
THAT Is very simple. You will hypnotlze him.
he will yield very easily and you will suggest to
him very forcibly to forget the girls existence
You can suggest to him to come back ro-mor.

and you can renew the suggestion each time.
In a week he will have forgotten-as you know
people can forget--entirely, totally, without

Unorna had watched her companion narrow

calmness and ease of manner which disarmed
suspicion.

He stood at the foot of the couch upon which
the sleeper was lying and looked thoughtfully
and intently at the calm features.

II would make it constant for day. or for a

But it would kill him."
