WHEN HALF-GODS GO.
BY D. H. TALMADoE.

Believers would have called 1t Destiny; unbelievers coincidence; Thornton him. self called it nothing. and blessed it from the bottom of his heart.
 He contemplated his bride proudly. hap oily, from a vantage point on the hotel piazza. She was playing tennis with agility and skill which mark the expert; her shapely arms bare to the elbows, her lips parted slightly. disclosing the tops of her strong. white teeth. her eyes shin ing, her face glowing More particularly than her other features he noted was her hair. for he was one of those to whom woinan's hair Is her crowning glory. and dark-brown curls even before the shafts from her eyes had entered his heart. or the words from her lips had enthralled his understanding. Men sometimes do such things.
 He had been told-and he smiled now at the recollection-that he would wed a woman of red hair. A gypsy woman had told him so years before. red-haired chosen as a mark for his callow wit. and the mother had overheard. She had come forward into the midst of the group of visitors, and had shaken her finger at him, speaking in tones that hissed.
 'Tis the badge of my shame" she had said, but I am not of the sort that suf- fers in silence. His father was such as you: I believed what he told me. He has
 
 Then the hiss of her voice had changed abruptly to a shrill cry.
 Curses upon him and upon those who jest at the innocent child! An, smile on, young gentleman. You think me daft. Yet take heed to what I say. A woman whose hair is red as the sunset shall be your bride and she shall bear you child whose hair shall be fin color as the ber- ries of the mountain ash"
 It was not dire prophecy. Thornton had not permitted 1t to weigh upon him heavily; still he had thought of It more than he cared to confess. He had a mild horror of red hair. Furthermore he dis liked the idea of being cursed. Such curses mean nothing. of course. but they of a mans dignity ana menace his self confidenc".
 He had not told his wife of the inci- dent. He had not considered 1t sufficient ly consequential or interesting, and there was a possibility of her taking it seri- ousiy. He had a fine sense of considera- ton for feminine nerves.
 He had reasoned the matter thus: We have been married three days, and not a drop of bitterness has entered the bowl of our bliss. Suppose tell her the story. Again. she might not. She Is different from all others of her sex-vastly more charming. far more sensible. and yet. loving me as she does. she might allow this Ridiculous thing to play havoc with ''I knew it was too sweet to last I am to die. and red-haired creature Is to take my place. o. why have you told me-" Why. indeed? I haven't. thank goodness. and I won't.
 He shuddered slightly. and lighted ci- gar; then. gIan.dng right and left along the piazza, he marked the admiration in Saturdays story, 'IN THE MARYLAND
