the ceiling with clinched teeth. At last
Royce bent and laid his ear against his
breast.
''It is no use," he said. HE is dead -
I looked to see them vince under the
blow, but they did not The younger
woman went slowly to the window and
stood there sobbing quietly; the others
face lit up with positive blaze of joy.

Royce gazed at her q moment in as

know our errand."
She bowed her head.

But for him there would have been
no such errand. As it is, will help you

woman at the window, "go and bring

The younger woman dried her eyes
and left the room.
Celeste came in slowly. listlessly. It
gave me shock to see the pallor of her
face. Then she glanced up and saw
Royce standing there She drew in
her breath with a quick gasp, great
wave Of color swept over her cheeks
and brow, great light sprang into her
eyes.
"Oh, Johnr' she cried and swayed to-
ward him.
He had her In his arms, against his
heart, and the glad tears sprang to
my eyes as looked at them.
"And 1 have come to take you away,
my love-" he was saying.
''Oh, yes; take me away" she sobbed.
She stopped, her eyes on the window
seat, where '@the other" lay, and the
color died out of her cheeks again.
"He, at least, has paid the penalty"
said Royce.
She was sobbing helplessly upon his
shoulder, but as the moments passed
she grew more calm and at last stood
upright from him. The younger wom-
an had come back into the room and
was watching her curiously.
"Come, let us CO." said the girl.
But Royce held back.
There has been crime committed"
he said slowly. 1--WE must see that it

'Stay and get the story, Lester. Then

He led her away, out Of the house
and down the path, not once looking
back. I watched them till the trees hid
them, and then turned to the women.

7 ONDON, Jan. lS.--Winston Chur-
chill-the English one--who alrea-
dy has one or two performances
TO his account which are records
In their way, must now be credited with
another. II seems that for his recently
published life of his father, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, the young member OF
parliament received from the Macmil-
lans the biggest price ever paid for q
work Of the kind. He got $4,000 down
with the additional agreement that malt
the profits on the book should come to
him after the publishers have pocketed
$4,000 as their share. In other words,
Churchill has been paid at the rate OF
Sips a line or about u cents a word.
and II the book sells as well as It is ex-
pected to do. his words are likely 10
produce twice that sum each.
As 1t is, however, Lord Randolph's
brilliant son has got ahead OF the great
John Morley, whose honorarium for
writing his life OF Gladstone was sup
posedly the highest ever pald--for al
though Mr. Morley got $4,000 for his
work, II contained 1871 pages, while
Churchill's biography of his father is
composed Of only Loss. Other biogra-
pliers are nowhere. As for historians
the record does not seem to be held by
any writer OF late years. but must b.
credited to Lord Macauley, whose fee OF
1000 for writing his History of Eng
land" has never been approached. OF
fiction writer's Marie Corelli probably
still tops the list for a book from her
pen brings 800 600 or more nowadays,
and Hall Caine Is not far behind.
Mrs. st. Leger Harrison who wrote
"Sir Richard Calmady," Is just on the
point Of finishing a new novel, on which
she has been NJ work under especially
inspiring circumstances. She has been
living at Eversley where her famous

OF his best work, and with which he Is
almost Always associated. This new
book OF Lucas Malet's" was actually
begun soon after the publication OF Sir
Richard Calmady' in 1899. but its au-
thoress Is slow and conscientious
worker at best, and besides suffered
from poor health for almost whole
year, during which her manuscript was
laid aside entirely. She expects, how
ever 20 have her book ready for pub
llcation early In the spring. Its theme
Is a secret even from her best friends,
