adventures of its feverish past. II
had built itself on the hopes Of mo-
ment, and what spread from it still
was the spell of the new, the chang

And now, as they slipped down the
long decline into the foreign quarter
the pungent oriental breath of China
town was blown up to them. She
breathed it in readily. 1t was pleas

dered what Harry was thinking of it,
as he sat with his passive profile
turned from her to the heather street
ahead. She guessed, by the curl OF
his nostril, that it was only present
to him as an unpleasant odor to be
got through as quickly as possible;
but she was wrong. He had another
thought This time, oddly enough, a
thought for her.
He gave it to her presently, abrupt,
| matter-of-fact, material. THAT Chi
nese goldsmith down there has good
stuff now and then. How'd you like
to look in there before we go on to
what-you-call-'em's the regular
placer"
"You mean for a ring?" She was
doubtful only of his being in earnest
"You have so many of the Shrove
kind" he explained. Il thought you
might like it, Flora; you're so rc-
mantic!" he laughed.
Like it," she cried, too touched at
his thought for her to resent the inn
putation. Il should love it! But
didn't know they had such things"
''Now and then-though it is a rare
| chance"
But that will be just the fun Of it"
she fastened, half afraid lest Harry
| should change his mind, Ito see if we
can possibly find one that will be diff
I ferent from all these others"
She kept this little feeling of explo-
ration close about her, as they left the
car, block above the green trees or
the plaza, and entered one of the mar
row streets, that was not even a cross
street, but an alley, running to bags
end, with balconies, green ratings and
narcissi taking the sun.
A slant-eyed baby in a mauve blouse
stared after them; and a white face
so poisoned in it's badness that it gave
! Flora a start, peered at them from
across the street. 1t made her shrink
a little behind Harry's broad shoulder
and take hold of his arm. The mere
touch of that arm was security. His
big presence, moving agilely beside
her, seemed to fill the street with its
strength, as if, by merely flinging out
his arms, Samson-like, he could burst
the dark walls asunder.

CHAPTER vi.
Black Magic.

DtdCk ma9iCs
The memory of Clara's incredulous
glance remained with her as some
thing curious, and she was not unpre-
pared to be challenged when, the next
morning, she hurried down the hall,
drawing on her gloves. Clara's door
did open, but the lady herself, yawn-
ing lightly on the threshold, had this
time no questions for her. ''Remem-
Der the luncheon" she advised, "and
by the way, Ella wants us to sit in
their box tonight. Don't forget to tell
Harry"
Flora threw back a gay Cali right, y
but she was in danger of forgetting
even the object of their errand, once
she and Harry were out in the bright
glare of the street. The wind, keen
and resinous from the wet Preside
woods, blew at their back down the
short block of pavement, and bufeted
them broadside as they waited on the
corner for the slow-crawling little car.
1t was continuous progress back
ward toward the old, the original
town. There was no stately nucleus.
This town was succession of widen
ing ripples of progress, each newer,
more polished than the last, but not

person? My dear Miss Gilsey, the
most desperate character | ever knew
was five feet high and wore mutton
chop whiskers. 1t is an uncertain
business judging men by their APP
pearance."
AS soon as silence feel between
them she saw that wave of preoccupa-
ton which had submerged him during
their walk from the parade-ground to
the Purdies' rising over him again
and floating him away from her. He
no longer even looked at her. His
eyes were on the ground, and it was
not until they had crossed the open
expanse of the shallow valley and
were climbing toward the avenue of
cypress that she found courage to put
her question.
Have you and Mr.. Cressy met be-
fore?"
He raised his head with jerk and
looked at her a moment in astonish-
ment
do you mind if 1 answer your ques-
ton American fashion by asking an
other?" he said presently. What
have met before?"
1.-THE way you looked at each other
at the club, and again this morning"
Kerr shook his head. you are an
observant young person! The fact is,
I've never met him-of that I'm GER
tain, but 1 believe I've seen him be-
fore, and for the life of me, 1 can't
think where. At the moment you
spoke l was trying to remember"
"Was it in this country" Flora
prompted, hopeful of fishing some
thing definite out of this vagueness.
mo, it was years ago. 1t must
have been in England" He looked at
her inquiringly, as if he expected her
to help him.
ooh, Harry's been in England" she
said quickly; and then, with a fash
ing thought, came to her the one
scene Harry had mentioned in his
English experience. Was it at ball?
The question came to her lips, but
she checked it there. She remembered
hOW A4cA AAcbO olOPPCo ACA SAS hA3AE
before with a nod, with look, from
mentioning that very thing.
$50 you're not going to tell me?''
Kerr remarked, and she came back
to a sudden consciousness of how her
face must have reflected her thought.
''No-not this time!" she said, smil-
ing, though somewhat flushed.
He knitted his brows at her. They
had reached the arched gate, and the
car that would carry her home was
| approaching.
"Ah, then, I am afraid it will be
| never" he said.
Was it possible this was their last
| meeting? Did he mean he was going
away? The question formed in her
mind, but there was no time for words
He had stopped the car with a flick
of his agile cane, and handed her in
as if he had handed her into a car
riage; and not a word as to whether
they would see each other again
though she hoped and hesitated to the
last moment.

Is that promise?
Harry, how you do dislike him!"
We'll, suppose 1 do?" he shrugged.

scandalized
Nov, really, you must go home,
she urged, trying to rise.
But look here" he protested, still
on the arm of her chair, there's an
other thing want to ask you about. "
And by the tip of one finger he lifted
her left hand shining with rings.

of these, you know. It's been on my
mind for a week. Is there any sort
you haven't already"
She held up her hand to the light
and fiuttered its glitter

bility. But have luncheon to-mor-
row." she added so we must make it
as early as ten"
ooh, you two!"
At Claras mildly reproving voice so
close beside them both started like
conspirators. They had not heard her
come in, yet there she was, just in
side the doorway, still wrapped in
her cloak. But there was none of the
impetus of arrested motion in her at
titude. She stood at repose as if she
might have waited not to interrupt
them.
Don't scold Flora" said Harry,
rising. tits my fault. She sent me
away half an hour ago. But it is so
comfortable here!"
Flora couldn't tell whether he was
simply natural, or whether he was Civ
ing this domestic color to their inter
view on purpose. She rather thought
it was the latter.
Tomorrow at ten, them" he said
cheerfully to Flora. The stiff curtains
rustled behind him and the two WON
en- were left together.

Flowers by the Way.

Flowers by the way.
Flora liked this funny little dining
room with walls as frail as box-boards,
low-ceiled and flooded with sun. Tt
recalled surroundings she had known
later than the mining camp, but long
before the great red house. 1t seemed
to her that she fitted here better than
the Purdies. She looked across at
Kerr, sitting opposite, to see if per-
haps he fitted too. But he was for
eign, decidedly. He kept about him
still the hint of delicate masquerade
that she had noticed the night before.
Out Of doors, alone with her, he had
lost it. For a moment he had been
absolutely off his guard.
She rose from the table with the
feeling that in an hour all three of
them had become quite old friends of
mis-, though without knowing anything
further about him.
I'VE must do this again" Mrs. Pur-
die said, as they parted from her in
the garden.
Surely we WILL" Kerr answered
her.
But Flora had the feeling that they
never, never would. For him it had
been a chance touching on a strange
shore.
But at least they were going away
together They would walk together
as far as the little car, whose terminal
was the edge of the parade ground
But just outside of the gate he
stepped.

He waved with his cane. There is

And at the top of that another

at her whimsically. There are three

She was pleased that he had no

that he had suggested the longer way

chosen branched out upon the main

downward into the hollow. From there

He had so disturbed her, his pres
ence had so obliterated other pres
ences and annihilated time, that it took
an encounter with Clara to remind her
of her arrangement for the evening.
The dance? No, she had given that up.
She had promised Harry to be at
home. Clara wanted to know rather
austerely what she intended to do
about the dinner. This was dreadful!
Flora had forgotten it completely.
Nothing to be done but go, and leave
a message for Harry-apology, and
assurance that she would be home
early. She wondered if she were los
ing her memory.
She appeared to be changing alto
gether, for the dinner-a merry one
bored her. What she wanted was
to get away from it as soon as pos
sible for that interesting evening.
When she had made the appointment
with Harry she had been excited by
the thought that he might tell her
wether he had learned anything from
the major that morning in the matter
of the ring But now she was more
engrossed with the idea of asking
about Kerr-whether Harry had real
ly met him-if so, where; and, final
ly, why did not Harry want her. to
mention that embassy ball?
Primed with these questions, she

on the mantel rang half-past ten. The
sound had hardly died in the great
spaces before she heard the fine snarl
of the electric bell.
She restrained an impulse to dart
into the hall, and stood impatient in
the middle of the room.
He came in hastily, his lips al
ready with words which hesitated al
sight of her.

She had forgotten the cloak that

at the marshy stream beneath and at
the three irises Kerr had remarked,
knee-deep in swamp ground.
NOW that l see them / suppose
want them,'' Flora remarked.
"Of course" he assented. Then
hold all these"
He put into her hands the loose
bunch of syringa and rose plucked for
her in the Purdies' garden, laid his
hat and gloves on the parapet; then,
with an eye for the better bank,
walked to the end of the bridge.
She watched him descending the
steep bank and issuing into the broad
shallow basin of the streams way.
The sun was still high enough to fill
the hollows, with warm light and mel
the stream. In this landscape of
green and pale gold he looked black
and tall and angular. The wind blew
longish locks of hair across his fore
head, and she had a moments pleased
and timorous reflection that he looked
like Satan coming into the Garden.
He advanced from tussock to tus-
sock. He came to the brink of the
marsh. The lilies waved what seemed
but a hands breadth from him. But
he stopped, he reached Oh, could
anything so foolish happen as that he
could not get them! Or, more fool
ish still, plunge in to the knees! He
Strengthened from his fruitless effort,
drew back, but before she could think
what he was about he had leaned for
ward again, flashed out his cane, and
with three quick, cutting slashes the
lilies were mown. 1t was deftly, del
icately, astonishingly done, but it gave
her a singular shock, as if she had
seen a hawk strike its prey. He drew
them cleverly toward him in the
crook of his cane, took them up
daintily in his fingers, and returned to
her across the shallow valley. She
waited him with mixed emotions.
ooh, how could you!" she MUIR

Looking him in the eyes, which
were of a clear, candid gray, she was
ready to believe it. 1t seemed as ii
he had let her look for a moment
through his manner, his ironies, his

foundations of his nature.
