 He came-I could not breathe, for his

 He spoke; his words were cold, but his
 smile was una1tered;
 I knew how much he felt, for his deep
 toned voice faltered.'

 The young girl thinks how agreeable he is as she induIges in secret, foolish romantic dreams which cluster about him; he has such a, way of holding her hands, looking down into her eyes and whispering pleasant things. The girl believes that if her mamma. knew how interested he was in her she would think of him more kindly. A mother may talk until doonsday about the man who has the attributes of a free lance making a poor husband; girls cannot understand and they think the young man is treated unfairly. Such nlaidens wonder why their mothers smile beaming1y >on the quiet and unobtrusfve young fellow, whose aim seems to be to avoid girls.

 Hours trod upon one another's heels so fast they moved under the tension of her waiting. Vague forebodings which she could not anaIyze oppress- ed her despite the fires of hope that had been kindled within her dropping spirit. & There had been someth5Fg deadly about Thompson's manner, Un- der the scrutiny of the man she knew he hated so venomously which naads her shudder and form a half resolu- tion to acquaint Loubeque- with his servants treachery.

 After what seemed an interminabIe age came again the sound. Unable this time to endure the long intermis- sion she was charged to undergo. she softly opened the door, peering out over the sleeping city that the rebel chieftain had flung up at a mere com mand. Immediately before her own abode she made out the less preten- tious shack of the international spy A dim light from the partially opened door cut a segment from the darkness Far more significant of slumber than complete darkness was that light
 A tiny droning sound reached her ears. By main force piercing the-thtelI veil of night Lucille made out the shadowy outlines of a lean motorcar dimly silhouetted against a pile of lava dust Something shapeless and dark and furtive of movement crept across the space that intervened be- tween it and the light cleavage of Loubeque's quarters. Lucille could not resist the impulse that forced her from the door into the open.
 Something tugged at her feet, fairly drawing her away from the scene. Then a strange wave of pity for the unsuspecting one against whom this furtive attack was being made urged her forward. As the dark figure slip ped through the door Lucille thrust her head cautiously within. Upon the cot lay the long figure of the interna- tionaI spy, his face turned toward the silent, motionless, figure that stood in the center of the room staring at him The eyes were tightly closed, but the girl knew that the man merely feigned sIumber.
