CHAPTER XIX

She has, however, EXTRACTED from him
a promise not to tell Sir Lucien until she
has left Carrig, which will be the day
after -morrow-during their return to
the house. A promise reluctantly given
and remembered afterwards
Almost as they reach the yellow rays
of light that lie across the paths beneath
the windows, two men coming out of the
shadows approach them-Sir Lucien and
Brian Deane.
Have you nothing better to do. Hill
ary,' says Sir Lucien in a clear tone, sub
dued, but full of ungovernable temper,
than to walk about the garden all night
with-lliss O'Connell?'
Il have been with my cousin and your
niece" says Adare slowly and defiantly
and with good deal of accentuation.
You have been with the girl who IL to
marry Mr.. Deanel' ~ says Sir Lucien. He
turns and beckons Deane forward. See
to it. See to it," cries he furiously. A
very madness has entered into him. If
the girl will not marry Deane, then the
bargain between him and Deane falls to
the ground, and the jewels will never be
his. Oh, what is the worth of a silly
girls happiness, in comparison with the
possession of those priceless stones?
Deane has come forward. His face is
livid as he meets Adare. Involuntariy
he thrusts his hand into his left side, be-
meath his coat. No doubt in the land he
has just come from, reyolvers at times
are handy little things. Without a re-
velver, Adare's set and stern face is dis
tinctIy disagreeable Out of the darkness
that surrounds all this, girls voice rings

BE SLEEPS IN A CITY TREN


Long Island hey Makes His summes
Home I'm a Big Walnut.
Sleeping outdoors In a rudely con-
structed house erected among the
branches Of high walnut tree in the
heart Of Flatbush, a young Polytechnic
institute student has adopted a novel
method Of getting near to nature"
says the New York Sun. TIE tree
sleeper last year tried this method Of
outdoor life, starting In the early
spring and continuing until the first
real snowfall of the season.
The tree house." as the people in the
neighborhood call 1t, is located on thu
lawn surrounding the home Of Mrs. W.
+. Lees, Flatbush. w. Thompson Lees
is the tree dweller.
A wooden stairway winds around the
trees trunk leading to the single
chamber above The entire structure
is made Of wood and was designed by
young Lees and his chum, Vail Apple
gate, freshman at Dartmouth college.
The boys built the house a little more
than two years ago, but it is only late
ly that they have converted 1t into a
sleeping place.
At first their intention was simply to
build crows nest" where they could
seclude themselves on rainy afternoons
and days when 1t was too hot for active
exercise. The "crow's nest" did not
prove to be large enough. so the boys
added a large platform which forms
what they call their piazza. This piaz-
"a is roomy enough for an ordinary
sized dining-room table and comfort
ably accommodates six or eight diners
After Lees and Apologize had the
house completed their parents took an
interest In, 1T. They recognized that II
would be a fine place to sit in the warm
weather. Mrs. Lees suggested that q
stairway be added to enable the older
folk to climb to the tree top. 1t took
the boys three months to build it.
1t was last summer that Lees and
Applegate decided that they would like
to see how it would feel to sleep out
In the open. They covered the top of
the house with panes Of glass and this
gave them all the light, day or night,
they needed. The trial worked so well
that they declared that thereafter they
would, while the weather was warm,
sleep in the tree.

there Is economy as well.
1t is no economy to save at the ex-

"Ours? Is it?" She rises. you must

Adare leads her, not to the ball room,
but through the hall to the balcony by
which he had just entered the house in
search of her.
What is it?'' asks she little nervous
y, alarmed by his silence, his rapid move
ments, his whole air.

little spirit, ''only your manner is so
strange, so abrupt And l thought your
voice sounded angry just now. But

and going to the railing of the balcony,
crosses his rms on it.
He is struggling with mad passion Of
jealousy and despair. If this one WOMAN
will not love him, what can all his life
be to him from this day forth? What
good, WHIT joy, what comfort can 1t con
tain? On! and, more than that can he
even live without her? The quick sound
Of her feet behind him checks his

Neckwear is interesting to talk about,

The radical change in footwear is
very noticeable and because dresses are
extremely long the shoes are less con
spicuous than ever, but are extremely
graceful. For afternoon wear the low
shoes have short vamps, low buckles,
high heels and uppers to match the
color scheme of the dress. The evening
shoe shows ribbons around the ankle.
Many women who have adopted the
long Grecian modes are wearing satin
slippers absolutely without heels The
style Is startling, to say the least, yet
for picturesque effect the idea is clever
enough.
