CHAPTER x.-fcontinued.l

Stubborn as the lock was, persever-
ance overcame it. George then, as a
slight diversion. spread the ancient
Yhiordes over the trunk and stared at
1t In pleasurable contemplation. What
o 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 its
source In an old confusion; school
boys jeering mate seen walking
home from school with q girl. 1t was
all rot, he perfectly knew. this wish
ing business; and yet he flung into the
sun-warmed, sun-gilded space an ar
dent wish, sent 1t speeding round the
world from east to west. Fast as heat,
fast as light it travelled, for no sooner
had 1t sprung from his mind than 1t
entered the window Of room across
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 a 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.
George did not see her at lunch, and

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 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
it was time to go up and dress for
dinner. Tonight Gas if the gods had
turned Georges future affairs over to
the care 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 IT, 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; It wasn't at all
necessary; the thing he saw, or rath-
er did not see, was established beyond
a 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; 1t was gone.

aside the arm. Who knows about
him, who he was. what he was, what
he looked like? AS child, used to
ask you, but never would you speak.

Yellow Fever Germ.

The theory that mosquitoes convey

is many years old, but 1t was not I'M
til the year 1896 that 1t was proven
to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross, working in India along
the lines OF Sir Patrick Manson's tho
DRY, demonstrated that mosquitoes OF
the genus called anopheles clarifer

WATCH-BUYENC ADVICE

Intelligent watch-buying requires
judgment on your part in two things,
the case and the works.
These two items that constitute q
watch are obtained by the jeweler
from two factories that are unrelated.
The works are fitted into the cases by
the jeweler and the price of the com
peted watch depends on the cost of
the two.
Thus, you can buy very fine case
containing q cheap movement, and
think you are getting a bargain, or
you may buy cheap case containing
fine movement and be deceived
again
1t is the proper combination of the
two that makes the watch of worth.
No Watch Deception at our store.
