He paused at the curb and listened

zeal of the socialist. In his thinking

Harry smiled grimly. He had al

In the thoughts that were dartng
through Hugh's mind there was none
now Of regret or of pity for Jessica.
HIS fear was the fear Of the trapped
spoiler who discerns capture and it's
consequent penalties in the patrolling
bu!lseye flashed upon him. He studied
his father with hunted, calculating
eyes as the old man turned to Harry
Sanderson.
"Sanderson," said David Stires once
more in his even, deadly voice, "Jessi-
ca is waiting in the room above this.
She will not understand the delay.
WIN you 60 to her? Make some ex-
cuse-any you can think of-till I
come"
Harry nodded and left the room,
shutting the door carefully behind
him, carrying with him the covering,
helpless look with which Hugh saw
himself left alone with his implaca BILE
judge What to say to her? How to
say It He mounted the stair as II a
pack swung from his shoulders. He
knocked, turned the knob and entered.
There in the middle Of the blue hung
room IN her wedding dress, with her
bandaged eyes, and her bridal bouquet
on the table, stood Jessica. Twilight
was near, but even so all the shutters
were drawn save one, through which a
last glow Of refracted sunlight sifted
to fall upon his face. Her hands were
clasped before her. He could hear her
breathing-the full, hurried respiration
Of expectancy.
Then, while his hand closed the door
behind him, thing unexpected, anom-
alous, happened-a thing that took him
as utterly by surprise as If the solid
door had yawned before him. Slim
fingers tore away the broad encircling
bandage She started forward. Her
arms were flung about his neck.
Hugh, Hugh" she cried. "My hus-
band"
The paleness was stricken suddenly
erom Harry's face. An odd, dazed
color. hush Of mortificatio., Of self
reproach, flooded it from chin to brow.
Despite himself he had felt his lips
molding to an answering kiss beneath
her own. He drew gasping breath,
bis hand nervously caught the bandage,
replaced It over the eyes and tied it
tightly, putting down her protesting
hands.
"Oh, Hugh" she pleaded. mot for a
