Stubborn as the lock was, persever-

CHAPTER XII.


Episode.
Fortune had Immediately returned
from the bazaars. And a 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 c%ontinu-
ity, Of broken threads. 1t was like n
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
l~istless, 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 II she
were riding through emptiness,
through the unreality Of a dream. She
was oppressed and stiied, 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 a chair,
and there Georges wish found her,
futilely. Oh, there was n thing
clear, clear as the sky outside. All

DOGS BARK SAVES MASTER
Boy Rescued From s~uffocation In

Are Across the Street.

Chicago.-The life of Nathan Kap.
Ian, o of Frank Kaplan, owner Of a.
saloon at SOC West Chicago avenue,
was saved by the barking of a fox
terrier when fire attacked the build
ing.
The boy was asleep in the rear OF
the saloon when fire, Started by
crossed electric wires, attacked the
barroom. He was rapidly becoming
unconscious from the smoke when the
barking of the dog was heard by Lieu
tenant Frank Stiff Of engine company
No. IA, whose quarters are across the
street.
Upon going to the saloon, L%ieuten-
ant Stiff and Plpeman Oscar Ftigata
found 1t filled with smoke. The bark.
ing was becoming fainter, and they
broke down the door. In a rear room
they found young Kaplan unconscious
and carried him out.
A Still" alarm was sounded, after
which the two firemen rescued the
elder Kaplan, his wife and their
daughters, Catherine and Elizabeth,
from their apartments above tho

beating. What had the love-lorn fool
said to the child?
He said that he was not a good
man, and that you tolerated him be-
cause he ran errands for you. What
kind Of e~rrands7"
Mrs. Chedsoye did not know wheth-
er to laugh or take the child by the
shoulders and shake her soundly. He
was laughing when he said that. Er-
rands? One would scarcely call 1t
that"
why did you renew the acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Jones, when you knew
that you eve 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 I never In
tended to repay him?"
Fortune laughed. It did not sound
grateful in the mothers ears.
Mother, this Is a crisis; 1t can not
be met by counter-questions nor by
flippancy. You know that you did
not intend to pay him. What l de-
mand to know is. why you spoke to
him again, SO affably, why you seemed
so eager to enter into his good graces
once more. Answer that"
Her mother ~pondered. For once she
was really at a loss. The unexpected
ness Of this phase caught her off her
balance. She saw one thing wildly,
regretfully; she had missed a 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
a fool she had been not to have left
the child at Mentone!
Il am waiting" said Fortune. There
are more questions; but / want this

stronger of the two. Cant you un-

ask you, but never would you speak.
All I know about him nurse told me.
This much has always burned my
mind: you married him for wealth
that he did not have. What do you
mean by this simple young man across
the corridor?"
Mrs. Chedsoye was pale, and the ar
tistic 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
a volley in kind, had deserted her.
Moreover, she was distinctly alarmed.

hand, might send to~ttering into ruins

Anger vas first to reorganize its
forces; and Mrs. Chedsoye felt the
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.

Shepherds. 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 a 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 (as if the gods had
turned Georges future affairs over to
the are Of Momus) he dressed as if
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-habiliments 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; 1t wasn't at all
necessary; the thing he saw, or rath-
er did not zee, was established beyond
a doubt, as plainly definite as two and
two are four. The ancient Yhiordes
had taken upon itself n Of the po-
t~entialities Of its fabulous prototype,
that Of invisibility; 1t was gone.
