water, her eyes big and as black as
night itself She seemed TO be looking
far beyond the misty lights that bob
bled with nearby schooners, far be-
yond the yellow mass on the opposite
shore where a town lay Graded in the
shadows, far into the fast darkening
sky that came up like a wall out OF
the east.
Hetty's fingers tightened in a
warmer clasp. Unconsciously perhaps,
Sara's grip on the girls shoulder
tightened also; unconsciously, for her
thoughts we're far away. The younger
woman's pensive gaze rested on the
peaceful waters below, taking in the
slow approach of the fog that was
soon to envelop the land. Neither
spoke for many minutes: inscrutable
thinkers, each prey to thoughts that
leaped backward to the beginning and
took up the puzzle at its inception.

narrowing with the intensity OF
thought. She did not complete the
sentence.
Sara answered the unspoken ques-
tion. 1T will never be different from
what 1t is now, unless you make II So"
Hetty started How could you have
known what ! was thinking?" she
cried in wonder.
1T is what you are always think
ing, my dear. You are always asking
yourself when will turn against you."
Sara"
"Your own intelligence should sup
ply the answer to all the questions you
are asking Of yourself. 1t is too late
for me to turn against you" She abb
ruptly removed her hand from Hetty's
shoulder and walked to the edge OF
the veranda. For the first time, the
English girl was conscious of pain.
She drew her arm up and cringed. She
pulled the light scarf about her bare
shoulders.
The butler appeared In the doorway.
"The telephone, II you please Miss
Castleton. Mr.. Leslie Wrandall is
calling"
The girl stared. For me, Watson"
"Yes, miss"
Hetty had risen, vislbly agitated.

she cried.
Apparently It is he who has some.
thing to say to you," said the other,
still smiling, wait and see what 1t
is. Please don't neglest to say that
we'd like to have him over Sunday"
"A box of flowers has Just come up
from the station for you, MISS" said
Watson.
Hetty was very white as she passed
into the house. Mrs. Wrandall re-
sumed her contemplation of the fog
screened sound.

asked Watson. hesitating.
81 am coming In, Watson. Open the
box of flowers for Miss Castleton. Is
there a fire In the library?"
"Yes, Mrs. Wrandall."
"Mr. Leslie will be out on Saturday
Tell Mrs. Conliing."
"The evening train, ma'am?"
"No. The eleven-thirty. He will
be here for luncheon"
When Hetty hurried into the library
a few minutes later. her manner was
that of one considerably disturbed by
something that has transpired almost
on the moment. Her cheeks were
flushed and her eyes were refectors
OF a no uncertain distress of mind.
Mrs. Wrandall was standing before
the fireplace, an exquisite figure in the
slinky black evening gown which she
affected in these days. Her perfectly
modelled neck and shoulders cleaned
like pink marble in the reflected glow
Of the burning logs. She wore no jew
elry, but there was single white rose

Nook. A look OF dismay fllckered in
Ier eyes for an instant and then gave
say to the calmness that had come to

Darted in the sudden impulse to cry

keys from Miami to Key West, was
opened this week The road cost about
$3.50, 900 a mile. Most OF the way II has
been built over arches of concrete, here
and there resting on projecting coral
reef or key, but for a third of the dis
lance built up from beneath the sea.
Eighty ships were used to carry rocks
for the roadbed and 5000 laborers were
employed in the work OF construction.
Furious tempests swept over this atten-
uated strip of American territory, and
during the hurricane of 1906 many work.
men lost their lives by the wrecking OF
the construction vessels. The road
shortens the distance to Cuba 20 hours,

Henry M. Flagler, Standard oil mag
nate, who is now so years old. The
opening of the road has been celebrated
with three days of festivities in Key

two tablets, one of silver from the resi-
dents of the city and the other of gold
from the men who actually built the
road under his watchful and indefatig-
able guidance.
