a halo on the head of Titan mas

cautiously. Little by little he crept
forward until he stood with bis band
upon the trunk of a tree. And then.
quietly, fearlessly, he stepped behind
her, his shadow falling over her
shoulder upon the placid waters OF
the pool.

her feet and faced him. He stood his

coldly.
He started to speak, impulsively, to
plead for forgiveness, but she held
up her hand mandatorily.

oners outside of court she said, aus

Turning from the pool, she stood be-
