slumber one hand under her cheek, the
other hidden by the white spread Mrs. Dec
had been careful to draw closely about her.
Both Mr. Harper and Mr.. Ransom regretted
this fact, for each instictively felt that in
her hands if not in her sleeping face, they
should be able to read the story of her
life. If that life had been a hard one, such
as must have befallen the waif, Anitra,
her hands should show it.
But her hands were covered. And So or
nearly so, was her face: the latter by her
long and curling locks. of whose beauty

was visible and this cheek looked dark
Is Ransom, decidedly darker than Georg-
ian's; but realizing that the room itself
was dark he forbore to draw the attention
of the lawyer to it. or even to allow 1t to
affect his own judgment to the extent it
reasonably called for
His first scrutiny over, Mr.. Harper cross
ed over to his old seat against the wall.
Mr.. Ransom remained by the bed. And thus
began their watch.
1t was a long and solemn one; a tedious
waiting. The gloom and quiet of the small
room was so profound that both men, for
all their suspense and absorption in the
event they awaited, welcomed the sound of
a passing whisper or the careful stepping
of feet in the corridor without.
If they turned to look they could just
catch the outline of each others counte-
nance, but this they did not often attempt.
Their attention was held by the silent fig
ure on the bed and so motionless was this
figure in the profound slumber in which it
lay enchained, and so motionless were they
in their increasing suspense and expecta-
ton, that time seemed to have come to a
standstill in this little room. There was
one break. The lips which had hitherto re-
manned mute opened in quiet murmur,
and Mr.. Harper watching his fclient, saw
him clutch the headboard in sudden emo
ton before he finally rose and, with looks

Mr.. Ransom, astonished at the long pause,
turned on the stranger his own haggard and
inquiring eyes. Instead, Mr.. Goodenough
lifted blank stare to either face beside
him, and, shaking his head, stumbled awk-
wardly back in an endeavor to leave the
room. Mr. Ransom, taken wholly by sur
prise uttered some peremptory ejaculation,
but a glance from the lawyer Quoted him,
and not till they were all shut up again in
that convenient room at the head of the
stairs did any of the three speak
And not even then without an embar-
raised pause. Both the lawyer and his I'M
happy client had deep and, in the case
of the latter heartrending disappointment

sound reason for expecting any different
result from our experiment"
The man bowed awkwardly and went
out Mr.. Harper brought down his fist
heavily on the table. and after a short in
terval of silence, during which he stud1ous-
ly avoided meeting his companions eye, he
remarked:
II am as much taken aback as yourself.

they heard her voice raised to a scream
in uncomfortable shame and indignation.
This was followed by the snap of her key
in the lock.
They had made great mistake or so
the lawyer decided when they again stood
face to face in Mr.. Ransom's room. That
the latter made no immediate answer was
no proof that he did not coincide in the
others opinion. Indeed, it was only too
evident that he did, for his first words.

He reiterated the word as he we'd fix it
in his mind as well as accustom his lips to
it. Then he wheeled about and faced Har-
per, whose eyes he doubtless felt on him.

Mr.. Ransom remembered her unconscious
whisper and felt stunned, slenced. The
lawyer gave no evidence of observing this.

sincerity:
