Half an hour later Mr.. Twinng was
purchasing tickets from the American
young man who sells them al the Chi
nese theatre on Doyers street They
took their places in the box at the
back of the low ceilinged hall, and
watched the incomprehensible antics
and listened TO the feline utterances
of the actors for moment. There
was "A clatter of small shoes, and an
other figure appeared upon the stage.

She turned to Perry at her left, and
as her glance went past him her eyes
met the hungriest eyes I'm the world.
They were positively deyouring her.

Revolt.

Il is doubtful how long human soul
can remain continuously in the empy-
rean. Edith thought OF what she must
tell her father that evening, and the
anticipation OF interview sobered her
Joy perceptibly. But Chester had said
that she must tell him. That was the
honorable thing to do. Then Chester
must be honorable, she reasoned, ana
her heart sang within her that such
a train of thought had become posi-
BILE. Was she always honorable her
self. she wondered. Was she honor

said. Then should obey my father.
But he had succumbed at her lightest
word. II is doubtful il the latter re-
Election panied her.
In the evening she was silent at din
ner. Later, after her father had lit
his cigar, she came over and sat be
side him. She had fully resolved to
tell him everything, but somehow she
found that the words would not come.
Her father had always treated
her with an old-time formal courtesy
which is the best basis in the world
for mutual respect and admiration, but
is not always conducive TO conf
dences. She knew that he loved her
with her revelations. After all, why
should she tell him? Perry would
never breathe word. 1t would be an
insult TO her for him to do so.

\ hot wind suggestive OF fitting to

softly stirring the curtains of the

One night shortly a%fterward. just about dusk,
