Gated her, and she could hardly resist
the desire to tear it from her face. Yet,
in spite of this discomfort, she was en-
joying herself. This adventure was as
novel to her as it was to him. Once
she rose and approached the window,
slyly raising h mask and breathing
deeply of the cold air which rushed in
through the ~crevices. When she turned
she found that he, too. had risen. He
was looking at the stems, one of which
he held in his hand. Moreover, he re-
turned and set the stein down beside
his plate.
Tell me, why do you do that7" There
was an anxious note In her voice.

He lighted a cigarette n put the

"Do you not enjoy a cigarette97
Sometimes" she answered. "But
that idea,
will you not have one?" He moved
the case still nearer to the line.
She reached out a firm round white
arm.
"one moment" he said; "let us ,un-
derstand each other thoroughly"
What do o mean?" her arm poised
in mid-air.
TO touch ~a~cigarette you must cross
the line to this side"
She withdrew her arm slowly,
Il shal not smoke. If / crossed the
line I should establish a dangerous
precedent. A good stroke. Now, the
idea. I must have that idea"
He blew the smoke toward the lamp:
it sailed over the flaming wicks and
darted into the lark beyond.

leaning across the table, her fingers

good resolutions melted n vanished
He must have one more word with her,
happen what might. So at ten O'CLOCK
he called a cab and drove rapidly to the
Sanford place. Snow had fallen dur
ing the night, and many of the steps
were still spotless white Impossible!
He leaned from the cab and rubbed his
eyes. Absolutely impossible! For
what did he see? Wooden shutters
over all the lower windows and the iron
gates closed before the doors! And not
a footprint anywhere. This was ex-
traordinary. He jumped from the cab,
ran up the steps. and rang the bell,
rang it ten times with minute inter-
yals. And no one answered. Then he
heard a call from across the street. A
man stood In one of the areaways.
Nobody home!" he shouted. Gone
to Egypt"
but there was some one here last
night Hillard shouted back.
Last night? Guess you've got the
wrong street and wrong house. young
man."
But this is the Sanford place.
Nothing else"
81 was here last night
Dreaming. That house has been
empty since November. 1 happen to be
the caretaker."
Hillard went back to his cab. dazed.
No one there last night? Come. come;
there was a mistake somewhere. It
was out of the question that he had
been in another house. He would soon
find out whether or not he had dined
there the night before.
"A c~able-oficei' he cried to the
cabby. Hurry
Once there he telephoned downtown
and secured Sandford's cable address.
Then he filled out a blank which cost
him ten dollars. Late that night at the
club he received his reply. 1t was terse.
You are crazy. House absolutely
empty. SANDFORD.

her wrist.

But you will never know my face"
Suppose l should determine to cross
the line, despite your p~recepts?"
They stood up simultaneously. In a
matter of this sort he was by far the
quicker. In an instant he had caught
her by the wrist, at. the same time
drawing her irresistibly round the table
toward him. His grasp was not rough,
only firm. She ceased to pull against
him.

be at peace if l do not"
Certainly you will never know n
peace If you do. Be CAREFUL.
His free hand stole toward the strings
of her mask, She moved not. His
face was very close to hers now. If
only she would struggle! Yes, he was
certain now that her eyes were blue.
