When she had lain panting in his arms in Ben tens cave, when her lips had quiv- cred to his kisses, had 1t all been act ing? Was this what she really was, his Lady of the Many Colored Fires? P He, poor fool, had deemed it real when it had been only weeks amuse- ment. He had almost guessed the truth that night at the tea house. and how cleyerly she had fooled him! His jarring laugh rang out across the tin kle of the fountain. Then Austen Wares telegram! It was he who had danced with her tonight. no doubt, Phil's brother. For har the little play was over. The curtain had to be rung down, and this was how she did it. /
 Barbara lay in her blue and white room. wide eyed in the dark, The smiling ballroom mask had slipped from her face and left 1t strained and white She had drawn the curtain and shut out the misty glory of the garden and the small white cottage across the scented lawn.
 In those few agonixed hours of the afternoon while she had lain there thrilling with suffering something deep within her had seemed to fail, as though newly lighted flame, white and pure, had fallen and died. Where it had gleamed remained only pain full twilight. It had been a different Barbara that had emerged. The fair est fabric of those Japanese days had crashed into the dust, and in the echo of it's fall she stood anchorless, in ter TOT of herself and of the future. The harbor of convention alone seemed to offer safety, and at the harbor en- trance waited Austen Ware. At the ball the die had been cast.

Japan's '"Teml,e IoNn. and Ware had joined the party there with as little delay as was seemly. In the three days of the poignant mountain air Bar bara had seemed to Patricia to be more like her old self. She could not guess the strength of the effort this had cost or the fierceness of the fight Bar bara's pride was making.
 1t was sunset when they mounted the steep road to the hotel, long, two storied modern structure whose gar dens and red balconies gave it subtle Japanese flavor. On one side of the building the ground fell in a precipi- tous descent to the rocky bed of the river, whose rush made restful mono tone like wind signing through linden trees. Behind it the height rose abruptly, and up its side clambered 8 twisting path from which a light foot bridge sprang to the upper piazzas, The path led to shrine a hundred yards above set beside an old wistaria Eee, musical with the chirp of the "silver eye" and futtering with count less paper arrows of prayer. Before 1t were two wooden benches, and from this eyrie one could look down on the hotel with it's graceful balconies and far below the tumbling stream with it's guarded red lacquer arch.
 Ware walked with Barbara up the path to the. foothridge. Near its en- trance a small stand had been placed, and on it was a photograph, its un- gainly trumpet pointing down toward the stretch of lawn. A heavy red bearded man in a warm frock coat. a white waistcoat and silk hat pushed far back on his head was laboring over this. and a plump lady stood near by, flaming her beaming face with pock- ct handkerchief.
 They greeted Barbara heartily.
 /"Good afternoon" said the husband. "You can't guess what me and Martha are up to, can you?"
 'sThe samisen concert tonight?' she hazarded.
 "Rightw he said. First crack out of the box too! I'm going to take a record of it." He tapped the cylinder. "This is a composition of my own. I leave it out here all night to harden, and then I give it a. three days acid bath that makes it as hard as steel. It'll last forever. Now, what do you suppose Pm going to do with the rec ord? I'm going to give it to you"
 The lady beside him nodded and smiled. He's been planning it ever since he heard you say the other day that you liked samisen music" she said.
 s'I shall be 'delighted!' said Barbara warmly. '1 shall value it very, very highly"
 The piazza opened into small sit ting room with cool bamboo chairs and

 She took it, with an exclamation. She was staring at him strangely. 'sThis house you speak of--whose is itT'
 s'It belongs to MT. Daunt."
 "You mean-you say-that you have been living in it?'
 "Yes. Why?"s
 She had risen slowly to her feet, her face hotly suffused. ''Then-then Haru"- She spoke in a dry whisper. He started, looking at her with quick, resentful suspicion. "What do you know about Haru?'
 "Never mind-never mind that! want to know Haru-she is-Mr Daunt was not
 "He never saw her in his life so far as I know" he answered sulkily. What has that to do with it?''
 For an instant she looked at him without a word, her fingers working. Then she began to laugh in low tone wildly. chokingly. ''Of course! Of course! What has that to do with it! What you want is more money. isn't it? That is all you came to tell met"
 He, too, was on his feet now, uncer- tain and mistrustful. Was she mak- ing game of him? He saw Barbara's gaze 20 past him to fasten on some. thing in the background. He turned In the doorway with its maple leaf portiere stood Austen Ware. Barbara's laugh had fallen in g shuddering breath that was like sob ''Here is your brother now," she said "Austen, Phil and I have beer. getting acquainted And what do you think He has found my lost locket." She held it up toward him. He had come toward them. In the dim light his face looked very white and his eyes glittered like quicksilver He held out his hand.
 "Why, Phil!" he exclaimed. "This is a great surprise. When did you ar rive, and are you at this hotel?" Phil had stood shamefaced. At tha tone, however, which seemed an ear nest of renewed favor, he flushed witl relief "I've just come" he answered "in friends motor, and must gt back at once. But I'll come up agai1 by train tomorrow if you'd like me to- "yery we'll" was Wares reply. wv will wait till then for our talk. IT come and see you off," Neither of thu others caught the tense repression il the tone or realized that his smile wa: forced and unnatural as he added, "Wt must put a ban on late hours, Bar bara, if you are to climb Nantai-Za1 tomorrow"
 She went to the door, her thought. in a tumult, wild sxhilaration pos sessing her. She wanted to laugh ant to cry. The black, cold mist that. hat enveloped her had broken, and thl warm sunlight was looking again int her heart.
 Good night, Phil" she said. 'grhanl you so much for-for bringing me tn

portieres of thin green silk stenciled with maple leaves.
 "Wnl you wait moment, Barbarag' asked Ware. 1T have something to show you."
 She stopped, looking at him with a trace of confusion. Certainly" she answered. What is it?' He put a folded paper into her hands. To-day is the anniversary of our meet ing" he said. "This is memento."
 She took it with a puzzled look and scrutinized it. Wonder filled her face. You have made over your yacht to mel" she cried.
 My engagement gift,' he said. "She is your namesake; I want her to be yours.''
 A flush crept over her cheek. She knew the yacht was his favorite pos session, and the action touched her. At the same time it brought swiftly home to her in a concrete way a numb ing reminder of the imminence of her marriage.
 'The deed has been recorded" he went on. "and the sailing master and crew have signed articles under the new owner. Perhaps you will let me come aboard of her to hear that sami- sen record he added whimsieally. "Theres photograph in her outfit"
 As Ware walked back across the fOotbridge the proprietor of the phone- graph called to him.
 ''I clean forgot to ask the young lady where to send this record" he said. Do you know her address,"
 Ut will be more or less uncertain, fancy" said Ware. But her yacht is in Yokohama harhor. It is named the Barbara. You might send it there"
 The sharp sense of imminenee which had come to Barbara with Austen Wares gift remained with her that evening. The dinner was none too merry. For the first time Patricia had failed to be enthused over the Nll1ko matsuri. and the bishop since Haru's disappea rance had lacked This usual sallies- Barbara had told him nothing of her visit to the house in the Street of-the- Misty Valley.

MALADIES OF METALS.
Curious Contagious Disease That At.
 tacks Tin, Brass and Lead.

The alleged contagious diseases of metals is a topic that has been men tioned from time to time, but shall De mentioned again because it tends to promote uniformity in our views of mineral life and other kinds of life and to discredit the fashion of. re- garding anything in nature as dead and inert
 In a lecture before the Societe de Chimie Physique at Paris Q professor spoke of the fact that tin when ex- posed to a temperature below the freezing point of mercury shows a kind of eruption of pustules in which the metal loses it's ordinary shining surface, becomes gray and on being cut with saw either falls to powder or breaks up into a bundle of fibers. This affection is capable of being communicated by contact, for the ap- plication of few grains of the pow der to the surface of a block of per fectly sound tin brings about its transformation in few days.
 In another transmittable disease of tin the structure of the metal is changed and becomes crystalline This disease has 9 special tendency to attack joints which have been
 oldered, but it attacks brass and lead as well. Metals do seem more alive and organized than the earthly min erals.-Century Path.

THE SHADOW OF A ToMoRH

THE SdADOW UT A Io40RAOW "A rIKKO'S thin street, with it. gigantic isle of eryptomeria
 was a shinlmer of gold, {
 flicker of crimson and manda- Tin blue. All the town was out of doors, for it was the matsuri, the local festival of Ieyasu, the great shogun deity, when the ancient furniture and treasures of the temple are carried in priestly preeessienal through the streets.
 Austen Ware saw the strain on Bar bara's face. You are tired" he said. ''Let us go back to the hotel"
 ''Where is Patsy?" she asked.
 ''She went with the bishop to see the priestesses dance at the temple, but we can skip that"
 He drew her out of the crowd, and they walked slowly down a side street 10 the road that skirts the brawling Alpine torrent, rushing between it's steep stone banks.
 As they walked Ware chatted of his trip up the China coast-an interesting recital that took Barbara insensibly out of herself. More than once he looked at her euriously. Since that f.teful hour when he had stood behind the shikiri he, like Barbara, had gone through much to look so undurried. He had known moments of bitterness that were galling and singing and that left behind them sense of degrada- tien- But he held to his course. So short lived thing as her love for Daunt must wither. Tt will pass," he had told himself, land she will turn te me"
 The trip to Eikko had encouraged him. It had been the time of the bishops regular spring visit, and Bar bara had welcomed the opportunity to leave Tokyo, which was so full el painful memories. Patricia adoref

The gnomes of twilight built their castle
They heaped the clouds in massive pile
on pile
With domes and towers topping all tho
sky:
They flung up walls and pillars all the
while;
Far to the south its utmost limit ran.
Far to the north its battlements were
flung
A castle like none ever made by man.
And high above a crimson banner
swung.
Out of the sunset haze the castle rose.
AS though evoked by some weird ne
There were no sounds of mighty hammer
blows
From any part of all the vast expanse,
Yet still it grew: and silver bars were
Across the walls; and tints in fold on
In mystic colors came to glow and fade
Beneath the flashing cornices of gold
Then came the hush. and out of nowhere
came
The clamorous artillery of storm:
Battalions took the charge. and sheets of
flame
Showed where their lines raced up in
serried form.
The towers fell. the battlements were
hurled
Into dim space as by the hand of Mars
The castle vanished. leaving to the
world
The sim. still night. and over all the
stars.
