And as II the mere word was a
draught Of fresh power. she smiled
away her tears; and when she pinned
on her smart little hat, her hands were
steady and her eyes bravely serene.
It was a serenity that did not falter
even when Pollock sprang out Of the
shadows at the doorway with an inco-
herent plea for forgiveness: abasing
himself huskily in last desperate cry
for pity In the name OF his love. But
there was no pity in Mary's glance
when she looked into his bloodshot
eyes and when his voice flltered into
silence her tones rang crisp and cold,
'I do not understand your kind Of
love, David, and cannot forgive you
again. can only beg you never to
speak to me-that may have at least
a chance to forget"
With head erect she went forward to
where Langdon was waiting by the
taxi, but with her foot on its step she
turned again and said distinctly:

own protection"

already and what they'll do when this

wait Till they see her in the big scene
but for that matter she's making every
scene a big one. Are-are you going
back stage?"
Pollock shook his head. "Tll sit In
one of the boxes" he said, "for while
at least" But though his voice was
cool his hands we're shaking. and one
of them was tightly Gripped around a
big key-the key to a suit in the
Hotel Republic where little later
Mary was to be rendered the banquet
that was to greet her elevation to

He scowled at the sight OF Langdon

charm OF her, and the genius of her

swifter, and Mary's door gave way
with crash as Langdon leaped against
II.
At sight of him Pollock let Mary slip
from his arms, and It seemed Inevitable
that they would kill each other in the
brutal struggle that now began.
The thud OF their blows: the sohhtng
OF deep-drawn breaths: the sharp ex-
clamation that told Of blow driven
home-al these were like the hideous
echo In some blurred nightmare to
Mary. But the paralysis that bound her
snapped like an overhaul wire when
she saw Pollock's hand slipping back
to his hip pocket. Now she matched
savagery with savagery. When, in
answer to her cry of warning. Lang
don struck up the trcacherous hand
and sent the revolver spinning to the
floor, it was she who sprang Forward
and snatched It out OF reach OF the
cropping fingers OF the lighters.
Pollocks bloodshot eyes searched
the room for a weapon and fell at last
upon the slender little sword which
was part OF Mary's costume. A
PROP" but dangerous one. and Inch
by inch he fought, not to beat back
I.angdon but to reach the corner where
the sword stood.
Feeling him giving way. Langdon
pushed holly forward, raining blows
like fall until, with cry of triumph.
Pollock twisted away from him and
caught up the glittering, sharp-pointcd
weapon. But it was not Langdon
whom he faced as he swung back; 1t
was Mary-Mary. with stern white
faco and llvid lips. with his own re-

contemptuously she uttered the single
word, that without sound he dropped
the rapier and skunk out like beaten
hound.
still holding the revolver, Mary stood
listening TIL the sound Of his footsteps
died away, then, turning with a SILVER
OF repugnance, laid the revolver down
among the dainty silver Of her dress
ing-table. 1t struck an inconsruous
note, but It was not that that made
her eyes widen and her lips suddenly
tremble--It was the reflection OF her

he been so dumb in his pleadings that
he had taught her nothing--and did
the fact that he paid her the highest
honor he could in asking her to be his
wife count for so little?
II only he could talk to Mary about
It all! That was his next thought
II only he could have five quiet min
