AIison's Story.

AIison's Story.
She told her story evenly, with her
eyes on the water, only and then,
when l. too, sat looking seaward, l
thought she glanced at me furtively.
And once, in the middle of it, she
stopped altogether.
You don't realize it, probably" she
protested, but you look like "a war
god. Your face is horrible"

The story of her meeting with the
Curtis was brief enough. They
had met in Rome first, where Alison
and her mother had taken a villa for
a year, Mrs. Curtis had lowered on

attempt at levity. GO on"
IF Mrs. Curtis knew, she never
said anything. She wrote me charm

they went to Cresson, she asked me
to visit her there. ! was too proud
to let her know that | could not go

my maid, to her aunt's in the country,

story"
| went over and stood in front Of
her. All the accumulated jealousy Of
the last few weeks had been fired by
what she told me. If Sullivan had
cOme across the sands just then, |
think l would have %strangled him with
my hands, out of pure hate.
Did you marry him." l demanded.
My voice sounded hoarse and strange
in my ears. That's all | want to
know. Did o marry him."
No"
| drew a long breath.
"You-cared about him?"
She hesitated.
NO" she said finally. Il did not

there was something not quite right.
Now and then Mrs. Curtis would say
or do something that gave me a
queer start, as if she had dropped q
mask for a moment. And there was
trouble with the servants; they were
almost insolent. l couldn't under

CELEBRATION IN GOA.

Goa, India, Nov. 25,--With the
flag Of the Portuguese republic flying
from every edifice in the city, Goa
today began celebration OF the
fourth centennial of her conquest by
the Portuguese from the Mahamedans,
and at the same time gave public
avoWal of allegiance to the people OF
the new regime in the European
congress and exposition of body Of
st. Francois NaVier are among the
religious ceremonies scheduled for
the celebration period, and have at
tracted many churchmen from all
over the world
1t was just 400 ago, on Nov. %,
1910, that the Portuguese fleet OF
twenty sail of the line, with a few
small vessels and 100 men, under
the command OF Albuquerque, have
in sight off the harbor of Goa. The
city and country was then held by the
Mohammedan princes Of the Bahama
dynasty, who had ruled the country
for fortY ss,,yseafsr Previous to that
.time it had been rich and pppulous
section held by native kings.
The conquest sof Goa by Albuquer-
lque was accomplished without blood
shed. A Moselam oracle. had fore
told it's conquest by a. foreign power.
| and the superstitious followers OF
Mohammed,. upon the arrival of the
Portuguese adventurers, appeared be
| fore Albuquerque on Bonded knees
and presented him with the keys OF
the city.
On the same day of his arrival,
Nov. IS, 1910, Albuquerque entered
the city at the head of spectacular
triumphal. procession, with the Por-
| tugese banners carried by the mobiles
and clergy of his command, while
Moslems and natives showered the
conquerers with silver and gold
This dramatic scene was reproduced
today as the inaugural feature of the
celebration, and was historically cor
rect with the exception of the flags
which were the new banners of the
Irepublic.
Albuquerque did not rule over
Goa long without opposition, and
he was soon expelled by the Moslam
kin. In a few months, however, Al

which 1000 Mussefmans fell, took
possession of the town. For three
days the victorious Portuguese plum.
