The silence seemed to crash to earth

into million pieces. The wax dropped
from his fingers and in the superven-

him by the throat. Shirley had laid

1t came to him at last that there

without her? The wrinkled note lay
on the desk and he bent suddenly with
sharp catching breath and kissed IT..
There welled over him wave Of
rebellious longing. The candle spread
to hazy yellow blur. The walls fell
away. He stood under the moonlight,
with his arms about her. his lips on
hers and his heart beating to the
sound of the violins behind them.
He laughed-a harsh wild laugh that
rang through the gloomy room. Then
he threw himself on the couch and
buried his face in his hands. He was

Attackers.

Fuzzy-Wu. small parti-colored Jap
anese cat, which had been presented
recently by a friend returning from
the Orient to Ralph Marion, owner Of
a farm In the Christian Hook section
of Oceanside, L. l., wandered a short
distance from the farmhouse and was
stalking sparrows when a flock Of
hungry crows descended on it.
The leader of the crows swooped
like hawk on the cat, attacking with
claws, wings and beak. Fuzzy-Wu
tried to run away, but crows swarmed
in from all directions. From his
house Marion saw the huge black
birds Tapping their wings a few feet
above the ground and then darting
awkwardly downward. When he APP

When the men arrived, It was i'm

she seen them so amiable toward each

And why not? The test Of the morn
ing had proved each of them to his
own individual satisfaction, and had
done away with those stiltcd manner

lous In all eyes save their own. The

had not yet proposed, and his sudden
determination to return to Rome elimi-

She was glad Abbott was going be-
cause she had hurt him without inten-

of her innocence, a constant reproach.

the United States will erect at the

Presently she would have her work,
and there would be no time for loneli-
ness.
The person who suffered keenest
was Celeste. She was awake; the ten
der little dream was gone; and bravely
she accepted the fact. Never her agile
fingers stumbled. and she played re-
markably well, from Beethoven,
Chopin. Grieg. Rubinstein, Mcdowell.
And Nora, perversely enough. sang
from old light opera.
When the two men departed, Celeste
went to her room and Nora out upon
the terrace. 1t was after five. No one
was about, 30 far as she could see.
She stood enchanted over the trans
formation that was affecting the noun
tains and the lakes. How she loved
the spot! How she would have liked
to spend the rest of her days here!
And how beautiful all the world was
todayl,
She gave a frightened little scream.
A strong pair of arms had encircled
her. She started to cry out again, but
the sound was mufied and bIotted out
by the pressure of a mans lips upon
her own. She struggled violently, and
suddenly was freed.
"If were a man." she said, you
should die for thatl"

He addressed most of this to the
back of her head, for she was already
walking toward the villa into which
