Quitting his peephole, the
Star Master pressed a but
ton. Strains of music, soft
and sourceless, filled the air
(from a phonograph muffled
in rugs. The moonglow paled
a little. There was a soft
rustic and fuctuation of wall
draperies in the apartment.
The light waxed. The Star
Master stood before his con-
sultants.
They beheld a man of un-
distinguished size and form,
eked out by a splendid POM
posity of manner. To this
his garb contributed. All the
signs of the zodiac had lent
magnificence to the long,
black, loose robe, with gaping
sleeves, that he wore. Mrs.
Blair noted with vague in
terest that it was all hand
embroidered.
Pale and hard the face
rose from this somber and
gorgeous apparelment. 1t
was a remarkable face, small,
calm, and cornpacted of mus
cles. Muscles pumped out
the broad cheeks; muscles
curved about the jaws; mus
cles worked delicately along
the club of nose. The chin
was just one live, twitching
muscle. Even the faint,
screwed lines at the eye
corners suggested muscle.
And, withal, there lurked in
the countenance a suggestion

Blackness, instant and i'm
penetrable, was the answer
to this. There was a subdued
flowing sound of drapery, as
if someone were brushing
along the wall. Kent raised
his voice the merest trif1e.

formidable baby. He looked even more like puma.
With rhythmical motion of arms and hands. he
came forward, performed spreading bow of welcome
and drew back, putting his hand to his brow, if in
concentration of thought Marjorie Blair felt an un-
holy desire to laugh She glanced at Professor Kent
and, her surprise, found him exhibiting every evil
dence of discomposure. He fdgeted, famed himself
with his hat, mopped his brow, and palpably inched
under the solemn regard of the mage.
Stupid of me- he muttered in apology. "Gets on

and grief Loss, like speeding comet has crossed

Mrs. Blair glanced at the announcement. "Some
