THE MISALLIANCE

heavy veil she had worn from the theater
the night before, and looked very trim for a
woman of forty-three. As evidence that he
took Dora for Flora, the stage doorkeeper
handed her a note as she passed him.
Il guess this is for YOU he said.
Kitty opened the note hurriedly, without
noticing that it was addressed to Flora.
Then she read it, and an exclamation of be-
Widered establishment escaped her. The
note said:
Miss FLORA ZEIGLER.-It will surprise you
to receive a note from me. | am the mother of
Walter Fessenden, between whom and you. l
understand, a serious attachment has sprung
up. 1t is of vital Importance that l see you;
therefore, may l ask that you meet me at five
o'clock this afternoon in the parlor of the Hotel
Regal? If you will inquire of the maid in at
tendance. she will point me out to you. Thank
ing you for the courtesy that l feel sure will
be extended to me in this matter. remain,
Respectfully yours, ANNA FEssENDEN.
Before the full significance of this note had
time to sink into Kitty Blandon's under
standing the door opened and her daughter
entered. The guilty mother hurriedly con-
cealed the mssive under the newspaper that
covered her shelf at the makeup table, and
said nothing about it.
While the business of Transforming them
selves for the stage went on, neither was par
ticularly communicative, though there was
no GOODNESS between them. Fanny did not
vouchsafe any information as to where she
had been, beyond telling her mother that
she had seen some mighty good puffs for the
money at Shepner's Hair Emporium and of
course her mother threw out no voluntary
news concerning her receipt of the note from
Mrs. Fessenden. At the required time, then,
Kitty Blandon had become Dora Ziegler,
and Fanny had become Flora, and the keen
est detective that ever figured between paper
covers would have been hard put to it to tell
which was which.

Continaed from page 7

The afternoon act went as well as ever,
and perhaps little better, for Flora seemed
in excellent spirits, and Dora was urged on
by an exciting anticipation of her coming
meeting with Mrs. Fessenden; for she had
thoroughly mapped out her plans She
would 60 to the Hotel Regal as Flora Ziegler,
meet Mrs Fessenden, and hear what she had
to say. 1t might, and she hoped it would,
lead to a breaking off of the attachment be-
tween Fanny and Walter Fessenden. At
any rate, she would keep the appointment.
When the Ziegler Sisters returned to their
dressing room, she said to Flora, u think I'll
run up to Ben Jones music publishing place
and let them run over those new songs they
wrote about. Where are you going?'
@Oh," said Flora, who by this time was
half Fanny, having removed her wig, Il
think | II take a little walk; but I'll be home,
all right
So, when they went out together, Fanny
turned downtown and her mother turned
uptown; but at the first crossing the latter
took the side street and hurried toward the
Hotel Regal, as it was approaching five
o'clock. As she went along she heard some
body say:
"There goes one of the Ziegler Sisters we
saw in the show this afternoon.
(Which one is she,' someone else asked,
3Flora or Dorao"
search me-" came the reply, which
pleased Kitty in the circumstances. "You
can't tell one from the other, even off the
stage. l guess they're twins. all right.
SHE tripped lightly in at the ladies' en-
- trance to the Hotel Regal, and found
her way to the parlors. There were several
women within, and she wondered which was
Mrs. Fessenden. She remembered that the
maid would know; SO, calling her, she in
quired.
"Come with me, please said the maid,

ten minutes later | was among the reeds up
on the borders of the central lake. | was ex-
ceedingly dry; so lay down and took long
draft of its waters, which were fresh and cold.
There was broad pathway with many
tracks upon it at the spot which had found;
so it was clearly one of the drinking places of
the animals. Close to the waters edge there
was huge, isolated block of lava. Up this
I climbed and lying on the top had an ex-
cellent view in every direction.
The first thing saw filled me with amaze
ment When | described the view from the
summit of the great tree | said that on the
farther cliff | could see number of dark
spots which appeared to be the mouths of
caves. Now as l looked up at the same cliffs
l saw disks of light in every direction rud-
DIV, clearly defined patches, like the port
holes of a liner in the distance. For a mo-
ment thought it was the lava glow from
some volcanic action; but this could not be.
ANY volcanic action would surely be down
in the hollow and not high among the rocks.
But what, then, was the alternative! 1t
was wonderful, and yet it must surely be.
These ruddy spots must be the reflection OF
fires within the caves fires which could be
lit only by the hand of man. There were
human beings, then, upon the plateau! How
gloriouSly my expedition was justified! Here
was news indeed for us to bear back with us
to London
For a long time lay and watched these
red, quivering blotches of light | suppose
they were ten miles from me; yet even at
that distance one could observe how from
time to time they twinllled or were obscured
as someone passed before them What
would l not have given to be able to crawl
up to them, to peep in, and to take back
some word to my comrades as to the appear
ance and character of the race who lived in
SO strange place! 1t was out of the question
for the moment, and yet surely it would be
foolish for us to leave the plateau until we
had obtained some definite knowledge upon
the point.
Lake Gladys, my own lake, lay like sheet
of quicksilver before me, with reflected
moon shining brightly in the center of it. It
was shallow; for in many places | saw low
sandbanks protruding above the water. Ev-
erywhere upon the still surface l could see
signs of life, -sometimes mere rings and rip
plies in the water, sometimes the CLEAN of
a great, s1ver-sided fish in the air, some
times the arched, slate-colored back of some
passing monster. Once on a yellow sand
bank saw creature like huge swan, with
a clumsy body and a high, flexible neck,
shutting about upon the margin. Presently
it plunged in, and for sometime could see
the arched neck and darling head undulating
