OF the five doors. 1t was not locked.
He opened 1t silently. with the eau

There was no answer. He struck

walls of hall and an open door lead

sputtered and went out and he lighted
another. On a little table Just outside
the door was a half burned candle and
he replaced his match with this. Then
he went In.
At a glance he knew that he had
entered woman's room. redolent
with the perfume of flowers. On one
side was a bed and close beside 1t a
cradle with a child's toys scattered
about II. The tumbled coverlets
showed that both had been recently
used. About the room were thrown ar
ticles of wearing apparel; a trunk had
been dragged from a closet and was
half packed; everywhere was the dis

passion had called her to him even

There was desperate GOODNESS In Ma

happened he would do what Neil had
threatened TO do-kill Strang. And
whatever had happened he would take
Marion away with him II II was only
her dead body that he carried in his
arms. To do these things he needed
strength. He advanced more slowly
and drew deeper and deeper drafts of

The room was empty. He listened,
but not a sound came to his ears ex-

hungry just before the evening prayer

Many OF the men, says Miss Magee, have

bodies for lack Of warm underthings

girl who cannot get out to 20 TO school
