Maria Susanna Cummins, who was
born in Salem, Mass, was the author
of "The L.amplighter," one of the
most popular books of its generation.
Forty thousand copies OF that book
were sold IN two months and 10000
copies were sold in London, where 1t
was even more popular than in this

CHAPTER l.
The Message of the Rose.

ne WeSSa9S OF ku0 Uos0s
Tapped deep in the leather-bound
luxury of an ample lounge-chair,
walled apart from the world by the
venerable solitude Of the library of
London's most exclusive club, Mr..
Alan Law sprawled largely on the
nape OF his neck) and, squirting dis
contentedly down his nose, admitted
that he was exhaustively bored.
Now the chair filled so gracelessly
stood by an open window, some TWEEN
ty feet below which lay stable

in full flower. And through the win.
dow, now and then, half-hearted
breeze waited gusts of warm air.

fragrance Of English roses.
Mr.. Law drank deep of It. and IN
spite of his spiritual unrest, sighed
slightly and shut his eyes.
An unspoken word troubled the
depth of his consciousness, so that
old memories stirred and struggled to
its surface. The word was Rose"
and for the time seemed to be the
name neither of woman nor Of a
flower, but oddly OF both, as though
the two things were one. His mental
vision, bridging the gap of a year. con.
jured up the vision Of 1.-the, sweet
silhouette In white, with red roses
at her belt, posed on terrace Of the
Riviera against the burning Mediter.
ranean blue.
Mr.. Law was duly conscious that
he ought to be sorry about something,
But he was really very drowsy indeed !;
and so, drinking deep Of wine-scent
of roses, he fell gently asleep.
The clock was striking four when
he awoke; and before closing his
eyes he had noticed that its hands
indicated ten minutes to four. SO he
could not have slept very long.
For some few seconds Alan did not
move, but rested as he was. iDcredu-
lousy regarding a rose which had ma
terialized mysteriously upon the little
table at his elbow. He was quite sure
1t had not been there when he closed
his eyes, and almost as sure that II
was not real.
And in that instant of awakening
the magic fragrance of the rose-garden
seemed to be even more strong and
cloying sweet than ever.
Then he put out a gingerly hand
and discovered that it was real bevond
all question. A warm red rose, fresh
plucked, drops of water trembling and
sparkling like tiny diamonds on the
velvet of its fieshy petals. And when
impulsiyely he took it by the stem. he
discovered most indisputable thorn
which did service for the traditional
pinch.
Convinced that he wasn't dreaming.
Alan transferred the rose to his sound
hand, and meditatively sucked his
