1.-THE HOUSE DIVIDED
Alone in that strange place Of silence and shad-
ows-that den of the DEVILS livery, crimson and
black-chained to the invalid chair wherein, day
IN, day out, for years end. he had suffered the
Promethean torments of the life that would not
die out Of his wretched, wrecked carcass, though
without ceasing shsrp-beaked envy, hatred, malice
and all uncharitableness pecked nsatiably at his
vitals Seneca Urine sat waiting, with the Inn
passivity of a craven ngure waiting on his immi'

that had made him what he was.

A slight pause prefaced words that we're a whirn

Have l fingered here in anguish all these weary
years for the fufllment OF my revenge only to be
cheated at the end by DEATH God grant that
Alan Law may be laid down still living here at

bitter smile twisted his tortured features:
Then shall my will be done to him! And then

His one sound hand CROPPED out like claw and
sought a mass OF papers the desk beside him,
sorting out from among them two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and slowly his
pain.bent lips conned their wording
"'AIan and Rose safe with me--~lIl bring both

q braxen bell. at last Where is he3 You have
brought him? Where is he?"
With no more answer than a sigh, the girl
dropped her head and let her hands hang Imply
With palms exposed.
After an instant Of incredulous disappointment

''You have failed?"

She shrugged slightly. who knows why one

thing you will not tell me-"
His hand sought the row Of buttons on the desk
and pressed one long.
Almost instantly servant gded noiselessly into
the room.

In another moment the replica Of his daughter
Judith ushered into his presence.
Upon this one he loosed the lightnings Of his
wrath without ruth.
Rose suffered him in silence. His most CALLING
