stood together for a moment in abso

A few yards away from them a yel
low radiance poured out through the
high. open windows which opened
upon the porphyry walk. Beyond this
bar of orange light, which shone upon
the crimson oleander flowers in their
great green tubs, all was darkness
A distant murmur of voices came
out into the still. hot summer night
Basil and Grant crept forward until
they had come to the very edge of the
overhanging archway. from which the
tight was pouring They themselves
stood in the blacklist shadow-a step
forward and they would have been in

streamed out onto the terrace.

Basil whispered TO Grant 1T is

small and silent that it might have
been the whisper of some insect.
Whoever these are, they are not close
% the window. Get ready! We must
fisk everything and see what is going

To the two young men, strung up to
the utmost endeavor, 1t seemed that

leaves fickered high over her sunny
head, and the sound of the wind
sweeping through the ten acre corn
field was like the roaring swell of the
ocean in her ears.
Now and then she tore a plump ear
from the juicy stalks and thrust it in

there were hours before dinner, and
she loved to walk in the corn.
The rustic of the leaves drowned all

Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont. the New
York society woman who has Joined
the woman's suffrage movement, has
written Il story book for children
which is almost ready for the publish
er's hands. and if it were not for the
great demands made upon her time
by suffrage work the set of tales would
have been among this years holiday
offerings. .
AS Il story writer Mrs. Belmont ap-
pears in new guiSe, for few if any
of her most intimate friends have nad
the slightest inkliug of this gift. The
book was begun several months ago
and has been written for her own
pleasure and for the entertainment of
her grandchildren, the two sons of
the Duchess of Marlborough.
The stories have pleased this audi
Cnce of two, the youthful Marquis Of
Blanford and Lord lvor Spencer
Churchill, both Of whom have listened
eagerly to the recital Of stirring tales
of the two heroes and one heroine who
are the principal characters in the
book. 1t was her Grandchidren's alb
sorbed interest in these stories. which
they have clamored for ever since they
were old enough to listen to stories.
that suggested the idea of collecting
the tales and presenting them in book
form for others to read, for. Mrs. Bel
mont explained. 'if these tales OF
other children give pleasure to my
grandchildren might they not inter-
est and entertain others?"
Stories of the VanderbiIts.
The charm of this little volume is
that they are all true stories, being a
faithful chronicle of the doings of Mrs.
Belmonts own children when they
were growing up, so that when the
sons of the Duchess of Marlborough
listen to these stories of the pranks
and the childish plays of the two
heroes and the heroine in the book
they are really hearing about their
own mother and their two uncles. Mr..
w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr. and Mr. Harold
Sterling Vanderbilt
The book will be handsomely illus
trated. Mrs. Belmont says, she herself
having arranged personally with well
known French artist to make the
drawings. and it will be a volume of
unusual beauty as well as of unusual
interest.

That's a glorious idea of yours he
said gratefully. He pulled the man of

In an instant she was gone and he

heard the distant shout of a mans
