ter to turn tail in ignominious fight.
Hetty was gloomily but resolutely
employed in laying out certain of her
personal belongings, preparatory to
packing them for departure, when
Sara entered her room.
They regarded each other steadily,
questioningly for short space OF
time.
Leslie has just called up to ask
what the devil meant by letting
him make a fool of himself" said
Sara. with peculiar little twisted
smile pn her lips.
Hetty offered no comment, but after
moment grayely and rather wistfully
called attention to her present occu-
patton by significant faunt Of her
hand and saddened smile.
Il see," said Sara, without emotion.

toward the door. Her eyes were fixed
ION her in wondering, puzzled sort
of way, and she was shaking her head
as If trying to discredit the new emo.
ton that had come to displace the one
created ages ago.
Slowly Hetty Castleton retreated
toward the door. With her hand on
the knob, she paused.
After what has happened, Sara, you
must not expect me to stay with you
any longer | cannot. You may give
me up to the law, but"
Some one was tapping gently at the
door

Hetty suddenly threw herself upon
the couch and buried her face in her
arms. Great sobs shook her slender
frame.
Sara stood over her and watched for
a long time with pitiless eyes. Then
queer. uneasy, wondering light be-
gan to develop In those dark, ominous
eyes. She leaned forward the better
to listen to the choked, inarticulate
words that were pouring from the
girls lips. At last, moved by some
power she could not have accounted
for, she knelt beside the quivering
body, and laid her hand, almost tim
orously, upon the girls shoulder.

Sara seized her hands and held them
in fierce, tense grip. Her eyes were
glowing with a strange fire.
Tell me-tell me now, on, your soul

No! No! On my soul, mol"
Look into my eyes!"
The girls eyes did not falter. She
met the dark. penetrating gaze of the
other and, though dimmed by tears,
her blue eyes were steadfast and resc-
lutte. Sara seemed to be searching the
very soul Of her, the soul that laid
itself bare, denuded of every vestige
of guile.

slowly from the lips Of the searcher.

she went on icily. ''Goodby."
Would you mind telling me wheth-

he turned toward the door.

the right to ask that question, Mr..
Wrandall?"
He wet his lips with his tongue.
Then, there is some one!" he cried,
rapping the table with his knuckles.
He didn't realize till afterward how
vigorously he raped. Some con-
founded English nobody, suppose. y

those two words he revealed the com.

mate Of himself. 1t seemed to take
more than his breath away.
"Goodby," she said with finality.
He stared at the door through which
she disappeared, his hopes, his con
ceit, his self-regard trailing after her
with shameless disloyalty to the
standards he had set for them, and
then, with rather CHASTITY smile OF
decentralization on his lips, he
