in a dazed fashion. Then her eyes
met Barret's and she went pale as
death.
Denton, attracted by the sudden
silence, glanced up, taking the cigar
from his lips as he did SO.
"Oh," he said, indifferently, you've
come about the wash? That's all
right. Your mother called for it an
hour ago. I paid her. Goodnight"
Then, without a word, she left the
room.
Barrel, since his first glimpse of
her, had sat, open-mouthed, staring
into her face. Now he turned slowly
and looked at Denton.
The latter met his gaze c~erelessly
and resumed the subject they had
been discussing when the girls sud
den entrance had checked them.
Yes" he said, that story of yours,
Barrett, is a dead steal from Balzac.
You make a mistake in not reading
Balzac. He is the greatest author of
the century, bar none. Did any of
you men ever read his story, The
Seal Of Silence?"
"Balzac never wrote a story by
that name" objected Carter. I've
read every line he ever wrote"
Barrot again opened his lips to
speak; but Denton, in the same care
less voice, cut in ahead of him:
Il never saw the story in any of his

chance, years ago, in an old maya
zine. Perhaps the title was changed
in translation. That visit of my
washerwoman's daughter reminded
me of it."
What had Miss-the-the washer
woman's daughter TO do with it,"
asked Barret, in a stifed voice.
only hat it happened to be so
much like a scene in The Seal of
Silence Here's the idea of Balzac's
story: A young Partisan named Duyal
is about to sail for America. He loves
Eugene Farache, the daughter of a
wealthy countess. Duval is a poor
hack-writer, and no match for a rich
girl. But they become secretly en-
gagged. The old countess learns Of the
engagement and forbids Duval the
house. He is about to sail for
America, as ! said. He may be alb
sent for years. He and Eugene may
never meet again. He has no chance
to see her once more at her home. So
the lovers decide on a step that Meth
er would have dared in cold blood.
The scheme is this: The night before
Duval sails, Eugene is to slip away
from home with her maid (whom they
have bribed), under pretext of going
to visit al old school-friend. She is
to come unobseryed to Duval's rooms
cher maid coming along to play pro

timental, foolish plan, If you like. But
lovers who are to be parted for years
are apt to be foolish and sentimental.

THE OF
SILENCE
By ALBERT PAYS0N TERHUNE

Denton was to sail for Europe the
following morning.
He had announced that his last
evening in America would be entirely
taken up with packing. With that ex-
cuse he had refused divers invitations
to farewell suppers.
Yet half a dozen men from the Of
fee, happening around Unexpectedly
at the "Taraseon' apartment house to
wish him bon voyage, found his oom
in order and his trunks all packed.
and found Denton seated reading in
the apartments one remaining chair,
He received his unannouneed Wis
itors ciyilly enough, and explained
that his packing had taken less time
than he had expected, which &C
counted for his present idleness.
The men seated themselves wher-
ever they could find room. whether
on trunks, tables or strapped boxes.
The talk turned in a few minutes to
Barret's newest story.
While his six companions listened
envyingly, the writer outlined the plot
of this story of his.
IT'S almost identical with a short
story of Balzac's,' commented Denton
when the recital was finished.

turned Barrett, stlfly. IF there's II
resemblance. it's accidental. If =
He was interrupted by a swift, rust
ling sound outside the door.
Now, the "Taraseon' Is a bachelor
apartment house, and the rustic Of
skirts there is a sound uncommon
enough TO make men pause to listen.
The knob was quickly turned, and
the door opened and shut again before
the men could catch their breath.
Leaning against the closed door and
facing them stood a girl. She was
dressed with elaborate plainness, but
bore the word Thoroughbred stamped
on every feature of her flushed,
frightened face, on every curve of her
slender, trembling figure.
She stood there aghast at sight of
the six men. They returned her stare

Last evening was talking

Last evening L was talking
With doctor aged and gray
Who told me of dream he had
think twas Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his office
A vision came to view:
He saw an angel enter
Drest in garments white and new
Said the angel I'm from heaven;
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown;
You've been friend to every one
And workt hard night and day;
You have doctored many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory
For you have labored hard.
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward"
Then the angel and the doctor
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured, "Wait;
I've got place to show you;
It's the hottest place In hell;
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And behold the doctor saw there
His old patients by the score.
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wisht for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch them
: AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn.
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, Come on, doctor,
There's the pearly gates to see.'
But the doctor only muttered,
This is heaven enuf for me-"
