there was a suggestion of militarism.
He was Immediately followed by a
young woman of twenty, certainly not
over that age. George sighed visit
fully. He envied those polo-players
and gentleman-riders and bridge-ex-
perts who were stopping at the hotel.
It wouldn't be an hour after dinner
before some one of them found out who
she was and spoke to her in that easy
style which he concluded must be a
gift rather than an accomplishment.
You mustn't suppose for minute that
George wasn't well-born and well-bred,
simply because his name was Jones.
Many Fitz-Hugh Maurice or Hugh

no matter. He knew instinctively,
then, what elegance was when he saw
it, and this girl was elegant, in dress,
in movement. He rather liked the
pallor of her skin, which limited that
she wasn't one of those athletic girls
who bounced in and out of the din
ingroom, talking loudly and smoking
cigarettes and playing bridge for six
penny points. She was tall. He was
sure that her eyes were on the level
with his own. The grey veil that
dropped from the rim of her simple
Leghorn hat to the tip of her nose OBJ
scured her eyes, so he could not know
that they were large and brown and
indefinably sad. They spoke not of
a WEAKNESS of travel, but of weari-
ness Of the world more precisely, Of
the people who inhabited it.
She, and her companion passed on
into the hotel, and If Georges eyes
veered again toward the desert over
which the steathy puppies of night
were creeping, the impulse was me-
chanical; he saw nothing. In truth,
he was desperately lonesome, and he
knew, moreover, that he had no bust
ness to be. He was young; he could
at pinch tell joke as well as the
next man; and if he had never had
what he called an adventure, he had
seen many strange and wonderful
things and could describe them with
that mental afterglow which still lin
gers over the sunset of our first ex-
pressions in poetry. But there was

duties, and fussy ships officers who
wouldn't let you keep the animal in
your state-room, travelling with a four
footed friend was almost an impossf-
bility. To be sure, women with
poodles. And then, there was
the bitter Of acid in the knowledge
that no one ever came up to him and
slapped him on the shoulder with a.
Hello, George, old sport; what's the
good word ?" for the simple fact that
his shoulder was always bristling with
spikes, born of the fear that some one
was making fun of him.
Perchance his mothers spirit, how
ering over him this evening, might
have been inclined to tears. For they
do say that the ghosts OF the dear
ones are thus employed when we are
near to committing some folly, or to
exploring some forgotten chamber OF
Pandora's box, or worse still, when
that lady intends emptying the whole
contents down upon our unfortunate
heads. If so be, they were futile
tears; Percival Algernon had accom-
plished its deadly purpose.
Pandora? Well, then, for the bene-
fit of the children. She was lady
who was an intimate friend of the
NEUROLOGICAL gods. They liked her ap-
pearance so well that they one day
gave her a box, casket, chest, or what
ever it was, to guard. BY some mar
velous method, known only OF gods,
they had got together all the trials
and tribulations of mankind (and some
of the joys) and locked them up In
this casket. 1t was the Golden Age,
as you may surmise You recall Eve
and the apple? Well, Pandora was
forecast of Eve; she couldn't keep her
eyes off the latch, and at length her
hands-Fatal curiosity! Whirr! And
everything has been at skies and at
sevens since that time. Pandora is
eternalIy recurring, now here, now
there; she is blonde sometimes, and
again she is a brunette; and you may
take it from George and me that there
is always something left in the casket.
George closed the book and consult
ed his sailing-list. In short time he
would leave for Port Said, thence to
Naples, Christmas there, and home in
January. Business had been ripping.
