TOO LATE.

"Too late!" the words that Karine
had just spoken echoed in my ears like
a knell of doom.
For a few tremendous seconds, that
seemed endless, stood paralyzed by
Lady Tressidy's announcement, unable
to speak. Then l turned and looked at
Karine. Her eyes seemed to have
been waiting for mine, and for an in
slant held them with my gaze, until
they fell, and yelled the answer mine
had asked with long shadowy lashes.
Never, thought as my thirsty eyes
drank in the beauty that was for me,
could there have been another woman
so wholly lovely, so altogether desira-
BILE. could have fallen on my knees
before her, to touch the hem of her
dainty gown with my lips; and cry out
my love and longing for her. But,

or ''marbelize it." as it has been called,
and the second keeps 1t in cartiiag-

it can be turned back into the life-llko
condition by Marini's methods.
His process keeps the bodies prema-
nently fresh, sweet and supple. There
is no trace of the rightly OF death.
They look as if they had been hypno-

to move any moment.

strange weakness OF the soul had seized
me that should thus have yielded
without struggle to single glance
from pair OF violet eyes?
Yes, assuredly the sooner got away
the better. There had been nothing
save restless desire for home to bring

than nothing to keep me there.

As I entered the hotel, by eyes daz-

it was not an optical illusion when

and then, Is soon as decency would
permit my escape. to 60 out from her
presence forever, and face the black
loneliness of my darkened life.
Only a few days had passed since
first had seen the beauty Of her face,
but already she dominated my every
thought, and knew that there was
no hope of surcease from the aching
pain of having lost her.
Had 1 been obliged to stand by and
see her give herself to any other man
than Carson Wildred, it seemed to me
that the blow would have been more
bearable. But with my almost unreas-
oning aversion for and distrust of him,
the thought of marriage between
these two was like the sacrifice of fair
virgins to the foul-dripping jaws of
the mythical Minotaur.
Slight as was our actual acquaint-
ance, when measured by mere time,
it appeared the madest conceit on
my part to believe for a moment that
had come earlier into her life might
have made difference. But, mad as
it was, 1 did SO believe. Some voice
within me, which would not be stilled
or brook contradiction, called aloud
that l might have won her love, that
she might have been mine, that only
some devilish tangle of circumstances
had circumvented the fate which orig
inally had meant that we two should
be all in all to one another.

after that ominous pause which Doubt
less seemed far more prolonged to me-
| than to the others. l held out my
hand, as l was expected to do, taking

mine, and wishing her happiness.
Then l was obliged to turn to Will

sion and triumphant defiance. But his
hand | would not take.
