asking Louise any questions; her
reticence was part of role she had
assumed. Our ears were strained for
the first throb of the motor as 1t
turned into the drive and commenced
the climb to the house. Ten minutes
passed. Is. 20. I saw Louise's hands
grow rigid as they clutched the arms
of her chair. I watched Gertrude's
bright color slowly ebbing away, and
around my own heart seemed to feel
the grasp OF giant hand.
Twenty-Five minutes, and then a
sound. But 1t was not the chug of the

1t seemed long time before the
creaking vehicle came to q stop at the
door Louise rose and stood watching,
her hand to her throat. And then
Gertrude opened the door. admitting
Mr.. Jameson and a stocky, middle
aged man. Halsey was not with them.
When the door had closed and Louise
realized that Halsey had not come,
her expression changed. From tense
watchfulness to relief, and now again
to absolute despair, her face was an
open page.
"Halsey?" l asked unceremoniously,
ignoring the stranger. did he-not

DECEASED WOMAN
 WAS FROM LONDON

Santa Barbara, Cal, February D. Francis Fry of London, England. who, with Mrs. Fry has been in Santa Bar bara since October, said tonight that Miss Lucille Clerk, the young woman found dead Thursday morning in the Grenoble hotel in New York came to the United States with them in September.
 Miss Clerk, he said, was friend of Mrs. Fry, and upon learning they were coming to America, expressed a wish to come q paid her passage said Mir. Fry and also her expense while she re- mained with us in New York, because she did not have much money. She had been a companion on the continent for several wealthy women, but she had never been to America before. She was born in India 2S years ago and was the daughter of surgeon in the English army.
 ''She made numerous acquaintances in New York and decided to stay there. She had a small income from Scotland.
 ''The idea of suicide or of murder in her case, I think is absurd, and I am of the opinion, after reading accounts of the case, that she died of ptomaine poi soning. She always was cheerful and could have had no enemies in this coun- try. She was athletic and in good health.
 '"rhe statement published in the dis patch that Mrs Fry and myself called on Miss Clerk recently In New York is a mistake, as we left New York last Oc- tober and have not returned since"

BISHOP ALLEN IS
 HEARD AT ENSLEY
Breaches on Necessity for Denial Dur ing Lenten Period and Religious
 Observance of Obligations

Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of the diocese of Mobile, was in Ens1ey yes- terday and celebrated high mass at St. Anthony's church in the morning at 10:3O o'clock.
 The church was crowded with the com municants and a most inspiring service was held.
 Bishop Allen spoke on the necessity of self-denial during the Lenten period, and urged people to be faithful to the duties prescribed by the church. He enjoincd abstinence in all things and drew largely from the Saviors own admonitions re- Earding the observance of Christian obli- Gation.
 His sermon was forceful and highly instructive and made a profound impress sion on his hearers. The Ladies' Aid society of St. Anthony 8 Church will meet next Thursday with Mrs. c. H. Bradley at Calera avenue and Talladega street. All members are urged to attend.
 Cunningham chapter, Royal Arch Ma sons. will hold a regular convocation to- night at the Masonic hall on Nineteepth street.
 The Ensley lodge of Elks will meet to- night in regular session. Officers for the ensuing year will be nomina -ed. All members are urged to attend.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Bishop Allen Breaches at Night Services
 and Makes Deep Impression

At St. Paurs church the Rev. Father Edgar, O, S. B., was the celebrant and preacher at high mass yesterday. At the night services the Rt. Rev. Bishop Allen preached on the virtue of modification or self-denial Members of the congre- gation who had heard the bishop many times spoke of his sermon as being one of the most forceful he had ever de- livered. Bishop Allen is noted for his clear, logical method and his earnestness in presenting gospel truth, but his words were never more impressive or more piercing than they were last night
 At the masses yesterday the Rev Father Coyle, the pastor, announced that 40 hours devotion would begin with procession of the blessed sacrament after high mass next Sunday-the third Sun day in Lent
