about it during the luncheon hour at
the latest. but the morning and after
noon passed, and Katherine made no
sign, which Dorothy thought was most
unusual. All that day and the next
Katherine went about silent, sedate
and serious, never once quoting the
humorous Mr. Gilbert On the third
morning Dorothy was surprised, on
emerging from her room, to see Kath-
crime standing by the table, a black
book in her hand. On the table lay a
large package from New York, recent
ly opened, displaying a number of vol
umes in what might be termed serious
binding leather or cloth, but none
showing that high coloring which dis
tinguishes the output of American fic-
ton

"About men," said Katherine firmly,
''and incidentally about women

From women?"
"From all things that are deceptive
and not what they SEEM"
THAT sounds very sententious, Kate
What does it mean?"
''It means that man is a simpleton
easily taken in. He is too honest for
crafty women, who delude him shame
lessly."
Whom have you been deluding
Kate?"

Dorothy laughed.
Indeed. Katherine, you are anything
but that. You couldn't do q mean ol
ungenerous action if you tried your
best"
"You think, Dorothy. I could re

forward.

dicrousness Of any young and beauti-
full woman pressing any such senti-
ments as these to her bosom.
Have you ever heard of a catalytic
process, Dorothy?" beseeched Kath-

uses"
"Never. Go on with the letter.

1T is amazing how little an Eng

nations. Here IS my tall friend Drum
mond marching nonchalantly among
dangers of which he has not the least
conception. The authorities whom he
thinks so courteous are fooling him to

because l must get to work.
Next morning Dorothy saw a letter
for herself on the table in the now IA
millar handwriting and was more re-
lieved than perhaps she would have
confessed even to her closest friend,
when she saw the twopence- -halfpenny
English stamp on the envelope. Yet
its contents were startling enough, and
this letter she did not read to Rather
inc Kempt, but bore its anxiety alone.

The letter proved to be within the
