Further, his voice In light, and he can
talk in falsetto. This was an old
family game. We played eternally on
the resemblance in the charades and
theatricals that English people are
always getting up.
This was our plan; We we're to
change clothes. We had heard people
singing in the parlor all that evening.
The boarders all knew that Juan some
times sang falsetto in fun. was to

vacant, pass the parlor. sing just lit

therefore, that should be bundled up

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Ruse,


When Rosalie lie Grange named the
Hotel Deidrich to the taxicab chauf'
feur, her object-shs followed here but
an old ipstinct-was 70 ccver her
tracks in case of many contingencies
She dismissed the cab, however, at the
north door of the Deidrich, walked
through the lobby to the west en-.
trance, walked out on Broadway,
walked block south. There, spying
another taxicab whose meter displayed
the red sign vacant" she comman-
deered 1t, and announced her real OBJ
jective.
"Casino-Central park-go fast; !"
she said. During the drive she stared
straight ahead and talked in low un
dertones to herself.
This was an old habit, born of her
half-believed, half.assumed medium
ship" in her days of active practice.
In these later days she was still wont
to argue out in soft phrases Of her
lips the problems of her soul. One
who had overheard these scattered
phrases now would have known that
she was still fighting for a decision.
well. amt the world been good to
me lately?" she was saying as they
swept into the Park entrance. Cant
AFFORD to take a chance with myself
an happiness?" And then. "oh.
how will Martin look at it-Martin!"
A little later, as the taxicab took
N Ivfx nrl lob
she was saying:
Il couldn't bear 1t II he was sent TO
the chair-I could never live through
it'd die, too" It seemed that upon
this statement she made her decision.
for she talked to herself no more un-
til the taxicsb rolled up before the
Casino and stopped. And as she rose.
her smile broke out for the FIRST time
In that passage. But It was a grave
smile, whose softness did not reach
to her eyes-as though one smiled
with the humor of God at the tragic
comedy In this world.
AN she called me a traitor-an'
she'll always believe II, what's more"
she said.
The piazza Of the Casino, so gay and
colorful In summer. lay bleak and bare
now under the cold November wind
and fading afternoon light, SO that Ro-
sale, sensitive to physical impressions
what with the tensity Of her soul,
shuddered as she passed from the
steps to the door. Within, only a few
lights were on; the restaurant, plain.
ly, was letting business fade away to-
ward it's winter quiescence. Near the
door sat a couple; then two men; and
there, in the remote corner, was CLINT
of golden hair which could be only
Betsy Barbaras. Opposite sat the TO-
Gus OF her search-him whom Betsy
Barbara still thought to be Senior Els
trilla. He was smiling just then. and
his hands were playing In swift, ex-
pressive little gestures. AS Rosalie lie
Grange waved aside the head waiter
and took her interminable journey
across the room, it occurred to her
that however she finished and tied
this complex web of hers, these might
be the last smileH on his lips for many
weary day.

DORA BROCK HUNT DIES
AT AGE OF THIRTY-EJVE

Mrs. Dora Brock Hunt died We'd
nesday Of tuberculosis at Wallace Sta
ton, in Woodford County. Mrs. Hunt
was about thirty-fve years of age and
had been married five times.
Her first husband was the late Gen
eral Cassius Marcellus Clay, the pio-
neer abolition leader, who in his old
age retired to his estate, white
Hail." in Madison county, and was
noted for his many eccentricities.
One of the things that completed
the estrangement between General
Clay and his near relatives was his
marriage to Dora Brock, when she
was mere slip of girl. She lived
at White Hall with him for a few
months, and then separated from him
to marry farm hand who lived In
the same neighborhood.
