worldP am not afraid Of its judy
ments. In the very improbable case of
my falling in love with you"
Unorna shook her head. There
was a momentary relief in discussing
The consequences of a love not yet born
in him.
"Why are you so silent?" Unorna
asked after a time.
Il was thinking of you," he an
swered, with a smile. ''And since
you forbade me to speak Of you, I said
nothing"
How literal you arer' she ex-
claimed, impatieutly.
Il could see no f%gurative applica-
ton OF your words" he retorted, be-
ginning to be annoyed at her prolonged
ill-humor.
Perhaps there was none"
'In that case"
"Oh, do not argue! / detest argu-
ment in all shapes. and most of all
when I am expected to answer it.
You cannot understand me- you never
will" She broke of, suddenly and
looked at him.
She was angry with him, with her.
self, with everything. and in her
anger she loved him tenfold better
than before. Had he not been blinded
by his own absolute coldness, he must
have read her heart in the look she
gave him, for his eyes met hers. But
he saw nothing.
What is the matterP" asked the
Wanderer, watching her in surprise.
She did Ict answer. lie rose and
stood before her, and lightly touched
her hand.
"Are you ill?" he asked again.
NO." she answered shortly.
Then all at once, as though repent
ing of her gesture, her hand sought
his again, pressed it hard for a mo-
ment, and let it fall.
He took her hand and then left her,
wondering exceedingly over a'matter
which was of the simplest.
1t was some time before Unorna
realized that he was gone.
She grew calmer when she found
herself alone, but in a manner she
grew also more desperate. A resolu-
ton began to form itself in her mind
which she would have despised and
driven out of her thoughts afew hours
earlier; a resolution destined to lead
to strange results. She began to
think of resorting once more to a
means other than natural in order to
influence the man she loved.
What does it matter how, if only
he is mine!" she exclaimed, fiercely,
as she rose from her carved chair an
hour after he had left her.

month of life. Thirty days were gone
as in the flash of a second, and with
them was gone also something less
easily replaced, or, at least, more GER

at the moment when Kafka came to
himself in the carriage the machinery
of memory began to work as Ke-
york had intended that it should.
Israel Kafka leaned back against the
cushions and reviewed his life during
the past month. He remembered very
well the afternoon when, after a
stormy interview with Unorna, he had
been persuaded by Keyork to accom-
pany the latter upon a rapid south
ward journey. He remembered how
he had hastily packed together a few
necessaries for the expedition, while
Keyork stood at his elbow advising
him what to take and what to leave,
with the sound good sense of an *
perienced traveller, and he could al
most repeat the words of the message
he had scrawled on a sheet of paper
at the last minute to explain his sud-
den absence from his lodging-for the
people of the house had all been away
when he was packing his belongings.
Then the hurry of the departure re-
called itself to him, the crowds OF peo-
pie at the Franz Josef station, the
sense OF rest in finding himself alone
with Keyork in a compartment of the
express train; after that he had slept
during most of the journey, waking to
find himself in a city of the snow
driven Tyrol.
But Keyork and Unorna understood
their art and knew how much more
easy it is to produce a fiction of con-
tinuity where an element of confusion
is introduced by the multitude and
variety of the quickly succeeding i'm
p%ressions.
Very skillfuliy had the whole story
been put together. in all its minutest
details, carefully thought out and
written down in the form of a journal
before it had been impressed upon
his sleeping mind with all the tyrannic
force of Unorna's strong will. And
there was but little probability that

had grown to great proportions, as
love will, when, being strong and real,
it is thwarted and repulsed at every
turn. For she was not loved. She
had destroyed the idol and rooted out
the memory of it, but she could not
take its place. She had spoken the
truth when she told Keyork that she
would be loved for herself or not at
all, and that she would use neither her
secret arts nor her rare gifts to man.

Damages Against Steamship Company.

NEW YORK, May o. The story OF the
sufterings by sea and land of those trans-
atlantic travellers who came to America
last September on the scourge-laden
Normannia was retold this afternoon
in the United States Circuit Court
by Senator MCPHERSON. of New Jersey;
Judge Alfred b. Beers and John f. hawley.
of Bridgeport, Conn.,. and Florence Fox. of
Philadelphia. They were all passengers
on the pest ship, and they all say that they
were induced to take passage by misrepre-
eentatlon on the part of the Hamburg
American packet line agents. who
assured them. so they asserted. that
the Normsnnia would carry no steerage
passengers. while. in reality. she was
crowded with them. Suits against the
steamship company have been pending
ever since. That of Judge A. b. Beers. Of
Bridgeport, for $40. 900 damages. which was
begun to-day. ia the first to come to trial.
Senator Mcpherson. after testifying that
he had been informed there were no steer
age passengers carried on the Normannia,
said: The Hamburg American Packet
Company compelled us to drink pois-
oned water from the Elbe river for
four days while we were within
ten miles of four million people supposed to
represent the highest civilization of tho
age. We went down TO lower quarantine,
carrying with US the dead body of a cholera
patient that was not removed for two days
Not an ounce OF disinfectant was brought
aboard the Normannia."
