she relinquished her dominion and re-
treated into that enfolded maidenly re-
serve and docility which we feel quite
sure was the manner adopted by the
ladies of the Stone Age when they
felt 1t necessary to manage their
lords.
She was as unconscious Of all this
as Dominick was OF his growing alb
sorption in her. II he was troubled
she was not. The days saw her grow
ing gayer, more blithe and light
hearted. She sang about the corri-
dors, her smile grew more radiant,
and every man in the hotel felt the
power of her awakening womanhood.
Her boyish frankness OF demeanor
was still undimmed by the first blur
ring breath OF passion. If Dominick
was not in the parlor her disappoint-
ment was as candid as a child's whose
mother had forgotten to bring home
candy. All that she showed OF con-
seriousness was that when he was
there and there was no disappoint-
ment, she concealed her satisfaction,
wrapped herself in sudden, shy qui-
etness, as completely extinguishing OF
all beneath as nuns habit.

into which their restricted quarters
and indoor life threw them could not

CHAPTER vlII.
The Unknown Eros.

jug OUNHOWU EROS.
The ten days that followed were
among the most important of Domi-
nick Ryan's life. Looking back at
them he wondered that he had been
so blind to the transformation of his
being which was taking place. Great
emotional crises are often not any
more recognized, by the individuals,
than great transitional epochs are
known by the nations experiencing
them. Dominick did not realize that
the most engrossing, compelling pas
sion he had ever felt was slowly in
vading him. He did not argue that
he was falling in love with a woman
that he could never own and of whom
It was sin to think. He did not
argue or think about anything. He
was as vessel gradually filling with
elemental forces, and like the vessel
he was passive till some jar would
shake 1t and the forces would run
over. Meantime he was held by a
determination, mutinous and unrea-
soning as the determination of a child,
to live In the present. He had the
feeling Of the desert traveller who has
found the oasis. The desert lay be-
hind him, burning and sinister with
the agony of his transit, and the des-
ert lay before him with its horrors to
be faced, but for the moment he
could lie still and rest and forget by
the fountain under the cool of the
trees.
He did not consciously think of
Rose. But If she were not there he
was uneasy till she came again. His
secret eXhilaration at her approach,
the dead blankness of his lack of her
when she was absent, told him moth
ing. These were the feelings he had,
and they filled him and left no cool
residue of reason wherewith to watch
and guard. He was taken unawares,
so drearily confident of his allegiance
to his particular private tragedy that
he did not admit the possibility of a
detection. A sense Of rest was on him
and he set it down-if he ever thought
| Of 1t at ALTO the relief of a tempo
| rary respite. Poor Dominick, with his
inexperience Of sweet things, did not
argue that respite from pain should
| be quiescent, contented condition of
being, far removed from that state of
secret. troubled gladness that thrilled
him at the sound of woman's foot.
step.
No situation could have been in.
vented better suited for the fostering
of sentiment. His helpless state de-
manded her constant attention. The
attitude of nurse to patient, the so.
licitude of the consoling woman for
the disabled, suffering man, have been,
since time immemorial, recognized
aids to romance. Rose, IL an unawak-
ened woman, was enough Of one to
enjoy richly this maternal Office OF
alternate cosseting and ruling one
who, in the natural order Of things
should have stood alone in his

for Roses readings had expanded

the snow-bound group and held them
entranced and motionless round the

without answering her he tore open
the letter and, moving to the light OF
the window, held the sheet up and
began to read
There was silence for some min
utes. The fire sputtered and snapped,
and once or twice the crisp paper
rustled in Dominick's hands. Rose
held her fingers out to the warrAth,
studying them with her head on Gne
side as If she had never seen them
before. Presently she slid noiselessly
out of her coat, and dropped 1t, a.
heap of silky fur, on chair beside
her. The movement made it conven-
lent to steal q glance at the young
man. He was reading the letter. his
body close against the window-pane.
his face full of frowning, almost fierce
concentration. She turned back to-
the fire and made small. surreptitious
smoothings and jerks of arrange
ment at her collar, her belt, her skirt.
Dominick turned the paper and there
was something aggressive in the,
cracking of the thin, dry sheet.
"Perley got a letter from your
mother" she said suddenly, that he
was reading in a corner of the post
office, and it nearly made him cry"
I There was no answer. She waited
for a space and then said. projecting
the remark into the heart of the fire.
Yours must be most interesting
letter"
She heard him move and looked
quickly back at him. her face all gay
challenge. 1t was met by a lookfso
somber that her expression changed
as If she had received check to her
gaiety as unexpected and effectual as
a blow She shrank little as he
came toward her, the letter in his
hand

TITS from my wife"

his wife's name had been rarely NEIL

young Mrs. Ryan was delicate sub.
ject best left alone; Dominick, be-
cause anything that reminded him OF
Berny was painful. But the truth was
that, from the first, the wife had
loomed before them as figure Sot
dread, specter whose presence con-
gealed the something exquisite and up
lifting each felt in the others heart.
Now, love awakened, forcing itself
upon their recognition. her name came
up between them, chilling and grim
as the image of death intruding SUD-
denly into the joyous presence of thG
living.
The change that had come over the
interview all in a moment was start
ling. Suddenly it seemed lifted from
the plane of everyday converse to a
level where the truth was an obliga-
ton and the language of polite sub
terfuge could not exist. But theAwom-
: an, who hides and protects herself
with these shields, made an effort to
keep 1t in the old accustomed place

unconsciously.

Decidedly Pretty Are These Small
/. Shells Set With Gems-other
Jewelry In Fashion.

The girl who possesses one OF the
new lucky winkle bracelets should
consider herself fortunate, for they
are truly pretty. They are made Of
little gold winkle shells held together
by slender chains, and inside each
she'll there is an opal, pearl, turquoise
or some other gem. The opal looks
specially pretty. because 1t has the
semblance of an iridescent dewdrop,
and even the grain" shows.
Coral is fashionable now and is used
for all kinds of jewelry, from polished
pear-shaped eardrops to carved pieces
set in brooches and bangles.
A pretty bracelet seen the other day
was made Of gold set with three
carved pink coral roses, two small
ones and one large one.
Another new form of jewelry which
should not be forgotten Is the butter
fly kind. 1t ie made of real butter
flies wings of the brilliant Brazilian

A pretty necklet is made of narrow
bars about three-quarters of an inch
