 "Charity makes the recipient only the poorer" he commented.
 q don't mean that kind,' she replied. She was thinking of establishing some day community. But until her tongue was free and until she could confde utterly in her lover she must perforce hold this ambition on the leash.
 When she returned to her boudor she found note from Storm, via the pigeon. John stated happily that he was free for week or ten days, and wanted to know if she would not go out and make visit with him to the old folks. She hated to disap- point him, but she was compelled to write back that she was going to be very busy and that it would be impossible to join him, much as she would have liked to. The next morn- ing pigeon delivered note to Hassam Ali, Zudora already having gone upon her new. ouest. Hassam Ali destroyed the message. So Storm was given leave to infer that Zudora had ignored his note.
 Zudora went out to the village. The house occupied by these two old curio collectors was ramshackled affair. It looked to Zudora as though some violent hurricane had taken it up, miles away. and set it down mon the hill haphazardly and inditferently. The sight of it did not create any dlstrust in her mind. Most collectors were mad per sons who cared little or nothing for the roof over their heads or the clothes on their backs, so long as they possessed the where withal to pursue their idiosyncrasies She learned that the two old fellows were twins.

 "You see, we have said nothing to the DO. lice because we do not want any newspaper notoriety. We have other trinkets," with singular smile.
 "I may take this photograph along?"
 Certainly. We have duplicates
 Zudora left the old house, and the two old men watched her until she disappeared around turn in the road. Then they laughed quietly and went back into the house.
 Zudora began to go over the brief facts. There was no lead anywhere as yet The metropolitan pawnshops were the only things she could think of. All the while she was CTS. By and by she took out the photograph and eyed it curiousy Suddenly her hand hecame warm. To her utter dumfoundment the photograph burst into flames. She dropped it in terror and stood as if para lyzed while she watched the cardboard shrivel into dull brown ashes. How in the world had this happened?
 When she reached home that night she asked Hassam Ali good many questions about these two brothers; each and every one of his answers left nothing to be de. sired.

haven't heard of it.
