only thing fit to be compared with a

only thing fit to be compared with a womanl"
 "Most women might not think that a compliment"
 But you are not like most women, Sinfire."
 Introduce me to Saprani," said the visitor, leaning forward and clasping her slender hands on her knees.
 The alchemist rose from the divan and advanced toward the glazed cabinet. He wore long dark tunic confined at the waist and falling to his feet. On his head was a cap somewhat after the fash ion of Turkish fez. Standing in front of the cabinet, he drew from his girdle a long slender wand and tapped with it several times on the glass which protect ed the left hand division of the cabinet. The light from the brazier, mingling with the red rays from colored lamp depending by a chain from the ceiling shone faintly into the interior of the cage and revealed something moving there with a slow and stealthy motion. Gradually this object approached the glass and partly reared itself up against it. It displayed the head and glistening black neck of magnificent cobra, its sides spotted with gold. The alchemist touched pulley, and the glass rose up- ward like window. leaving the front of the cage open.
 He then retired three or four paces, keeping his eyes fixed upon the serpent, and crouched noiselcssly down upon the carpet until he squatted upon his heels Meanwhile the cobra remained motion less in the cage, with its head lifted.
 The alchemist now drew from the folds of his robe short instrument of cylin- drical shape, pierced with holes after the manner of flute. It was made of ebony and highly polished and was decorated with bits of red coral and pendants of sparkling crystal. It was a toumril, brought from India and used by the ser pent charmers in their incantations Raising it to his lips, he drew from it soft and plaintive sounds, pleasing to the ear, yet differing in some essential respects from the music of the west, The sounds gradually grew louder, though never losing their soft, insinuat- ing quality, until the vault of the cham Der seemed to resound with echoes of soothing potency.
 At the first notes the cobra had changed llS ItoSlttol' luIlllLS us ASttu lO"dIu tue player. As the music continued a slow continuous shifting was observable throughout its glistening coils. The for ward part of its body was pushed beyond the edge of the cage and held poised in the air, the head and neck still upright. Then the long, tapering form, still stead fly uncoiling, sank toward the floor in sliding undulations, writhing rhythmic ally forward in harmony with the sweet throbbing of the flute. AS it rested with its jet black scales and golden spots upon the dull red carpet in the dim hght-or seemed to rest. for it was never still-it was beautiful yet terrible symbol of sensuous delight-the subtitle pleasure that bears within it the poison of death.

''She has shown that I am not her master. shall not need the hint sec ond time"
 Perhaps she perceives some harm to you in our acquaintance which you and are still unconscious of. They are mys- terious beings-serpents!'
 Nothing but good can come from you to me, Sinfire, though you are more mysterious than Saprani."
 "Imysterious? Oh, Cousin Frank, you wish to make game of meP'
 "You are mystery from your name onward" he repeated, taking her hands in his and looking in her eyes. You are no cousin of mine. Your ancestors had been civilized thousand years when ours were eating shellfish and shooting flint arrows on the lagoons of Europe. I speak as a scientific man. as an ethnolo- gist and a physiognomist. Sinfre, you are a gypsyr'
 As he said the last words the man of science felt the pulse leap in her deli cate wrists. These organic symptoms cannot easily be controlled. though, oE the other hand, nothing is easier than to misinterpret them. She instantly laughed and said: You are a wizard. Ihave al. ways thSuught there must be Romany blood in me. And I can tell fortunes"
 There was no tremor in her voice, nor did the color deepen in her cheeks. But the wizard resolved to try his luck once more.
 My brother knows more about gyp- sies than do. he said He once lived among them for several months. If you are interested in them, you might learn much from him.
 He has lived among thcm!' she cN- claimed. He never told me SO. And thought. she added, with what seemed the ightcst intonation of irony, that he had told me all he knew.
 Poor John. This did not promise well for the chances of Sinfire becoming Mrs. Mainwaring. But this assurance that wealth and ambition were not what Sin fire sought only tended to substartiate the theory that was doubtfully taking form in the wizards mind He now pro- ceeded ;o spring his trap, perceiving that he should take her wholly at unawares.
