Once secure from the public gaze
the girl crowded back into corner OF
the cab, as though trying to efface her.
self. Her eyes closed almost auto
matically; the curve of laughing lips
became a doleful droop; crinkle ap
peared between the arched brows;
waves of burning crimson flooded her
face and throat.
In her lap both hands lay clenched
into tiny fists-clenched so tightly that
it hurt, numbing her fingers-a phys
ical pain that. somehow, helped her to
endure the paroxysms of shame. That
she should have stopped so low!
Presently the fingers relaxed, and
her whole frame relaxed in sympathy
The black squall had passed over;
but now we're the once tranquil waters
ruffied and angry. Then languor
gripped her like an enemy; she lay
listless in it's hold, sick and faint with
disgust of self.
This was her all-sullcient punish
ment; to have done what she had
done, to be about to do what she con
templated. For she had set her hand
to the plow; there must now be nc
drawing back, however hateful might
prove her task.
The voice of the cabby dropping
through the trap, reused her. This is
the Martha Washington, ma'am."
Mechanically she descended from the
hanson and paid her fare; then, sum
moning up all her strength and reso
luton, passed into the lobby of the
hotel and paused at the telephone
switchboard.

while yet the deepthroated music was
dying into silence the telephone bell
shrieked impertinently.
Maitland bit savagely on the gag
and knotted his brows, trying to bear
it. The effect was that of coarse
file rasped across raw, quivering
nerves. And he lay helpless, able to
do no more toward endurance than to
dig nails deep into his palms.
Again and again the fiendish clamor
shattered the echoes. Binding flashes
of agony danced down the white-hot
wires strung through his head, taut
from temple to temple.
Would the fool at the other end
never be satisfied that he could get
no answer? Evidently not; the racket
continued mercilessly, short series OF
shrill calls alternating with imperative
rolls prolonged until one thought that
the tortured metal sounding-cups would
crack. Thought! nay, prayed that
either such would be the case, or else
that ones head might at once merci.
fully be rent asunder.
That anguish so exquisite should
be the means Of releasing him from
his bonds seemed a refinement of
irony. Yet Maitland was aware, be.
tween spasms, that help was on the
way. The telephone instrument, for
obvious convenience, had been
equipped with an extension bell which
rang simultaneously in O'Hagan's s
quarters. When Maitland was not at
home the janitor-valet, so warned,
would answer the calls. And now, in
the still intervals, the heavy thud OF
unhurried feet could be heard upon
the staircase. O'Hagan was coming

the man was deferential at his elbow:

The rest of the corps Of servants
were at the other end of the big room.
Anisty made certain that they were
not watching, then stealthily passed

her head, bestowing it in her handbag.

the hat brim.

shook his head decidedly. The flicker
OF doubt was again extinguished; for

home that morning; her reference had
been to that place. Somewhere else,"
he insisted, confident that she was
playing fair.
She appeared to think for an in

The Game of Pullvhaullv.

This is an Old Greek game and, like
very many simple boys games, has
retained its popularity to the present
day. Its Greek name was rather a
jaw cracking one, but may be literally
translated by "pullyhaully." 1t con
sists of two parties Of boys, who are
chosen on different sides by lot. One
party takes hold of one end of strong
rope and the other party Of the other
end. A mark being made midway be-
tween the two parties, each strives to
pull the other over it. and those who
are so pulled over lose the game.
In this game two leaders should be
appointed. who must calculate the
powers of their own side and concert
plans accordingly. The leader of Ell
Their side should have code of sig
nails in order to communicate with his
own friends. that he may direct them
when to stop. when to slacken or
when to pull hard. So important is

good leader will always vanquish
much superior force which has no
commander to guide it.
