said to the child? 80
He said that he was not a good
man, and that you tolerated him be-
cause he ran errands for you. What
kind of errands?"
Mrs. Chedsoye did not know wheth-
er to laugh or take the child by the
shoulders and shake her soundly. ''He

that"
why did you renew the acquaint-
ance with Mr. Jones, when you knew
that you never intended paying back
that loan?"
Here was a question, Mrs. Chedsoye
realized, from the look of the child,
that would not bear evasion.
What makes you think l never in

Fortune laughed 1t did not sound
grateful in the mothers ears.
Mother, this is a crisis; it can not
be met by counter-questions nor by

Her mother pondered. For once she
was really at loss. The unexpected
ness Of this phase caught her off her
balance. She saw one thing wildly,
regretfully: she had missed valuable
point in the game by not adjusting
her play to the growth of the child,
who had, with the phenomenal sud-
denness which still battles the psy-
biologists, stepped out Of girlhood
into womanhood, all in a day. What

Stubborn as the lock was, persever-

slight diversion, spread the ancient
Yhiordes over the trunk and stared at
It in pleasurable contemplation. What
a beauty 1t was! What exquisite blue.
what soft red. what minute patterns!
And this treasure was his. He leaned
down upon 1t with his two hands. A
color stole into his cheeks. 1t had it's
source in an old confusion school

home from school with a girl. 1t was
all rot, he perfectly knew, this wish

the corridor. Whether the window was
open or shut was of no Importance
whatever Such wishes penetrated and
went through all obstacles. And this
one touched Fortunes eyes, her hair,
her lips; 1t caressed her in thousand
happy ways. But, alas! such wishes
are without temporal power.
Fortune never knew. She sat in a
chair, her fingers locked tensely, her
eyes large and set in gaze. her lips
compressed, her whole attitude one Of
impotent despair.

Mrs. Chedsoye was pale, and the ar
tistlc touch of rouge upon her cheeks
did not disguise the pallor. The true
evidence lay In the Wilderness OF her
nose. Never in her varied life had
she felt more helpless, more impotent.
To be wild with rage, and yet to be
powerless! That alertness Of mind,
that mental buoyancy, which had al
ways given her the power to return
volley In kind, had deserted her.
Moreover, she was distinctly alarmed.
This little fool with a turn Of her

Anger was first to reorganize its

heat of It run through her veins. But
oddly enough, 1t was anger directed
less toward the child than toward her
own palpable folly and oversight.

CHAPTER XII.
Episode.

GpioOQICs
Fortune had Immediately returned
from the bazaars. And kind of tor
por blanketed her mind, usually so
fertile and active. For a time the
process Of the evolution of thought
was denied her; she tried to think, but
there was an appalling lack of continu-
ity, of broken threads. 1t was like one
of those circumferential railways; she
travelled, but did not get anywhere.
Ryanne had told her too much for his
own sake, but too little for hers. She
sat back in the carriage. inert and
listless, and indeterminedly likened
her condition to driftwood in the ebb
and flow of beach-waves. The color
and commotion Of the streets were
no longer absorbed; it was as If she
were riding through emptiness,
through the unreality OF a dream. She
was oppressed and stihed, too; harb-
niger of storms.
Mechanically she dismissed the car
riage at the hotel, mechanically she
went to her room. and in this semi
conscious mood sat down in chair,
and there Georges wish found her,
futilely. Oh, there was one thing
clear, clear as the sky outside. All

Shepheard's. When did Mr.. Jones
leave for America? What! on the NOR
row? The Major shook his head re-
gretfully. There was no place like
Cairo for Christmas.
George called a carriage, drove
about the principal streets and shop
ping districts, and used his eyes dill
gently; but it was loves labor lost
Not even when he returned at tea-time
did he see her. Why hadn't he known
and got up? He could have shown her
the baZaars; and there wasn't drago-
man in Cairo more familiar with them
than he. A wasted day, totally wasted.
He hung about the lounging-room till
1t was time to go up and dress for
dinner. Tonight Gas If the gods had
turned Georges future affairs over to

he were going to the opera; swallow
tail, white vest high collar and white
lawn cravat, opera-Fedora, and thin
soled pumps; all IL Sc habiliments
and demi.habillm ents supposed to
make the man. When he reached what
he thought to be the glass of fashion
and the mold Of form, he turned for
the first time toward his trunk. He
did not rub his eyes; it wasn't at all
necessary; the thing he saw, or rath-
er did not see, was established beyond
doubt, as plainly definite as two and
two are four. The ancient Yhiordes
had taken upon itself one of the po-
tentialities Of it's fabulous prototype,
that of invisibility; it was gone.

Yellow Fever Germ.

The theory that mosquitoes convey
the disease known as yellow fever"
is many years old. but II was not I'M

to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross, working in India along
the lines OF Sir Patrick Manson's the

the genus called anopheles clsrifer
conveyed the disease. In 1897-9s ex-
periments in Cuba and other parts Of
the world established similar con-

discovery that the dread disease is
