joyce hadn't ordered me to approach the
big scene without sense of fear. I'm to
forget that Woodford fell dead playing it,
and that Carlton dropped the same way
forty years after. You know, that's the
deuce of proposition to put up to man.
Quaile agreed. 1T is nervy of you,n
he said, ito take it on at all"
No." Wilkins answered. Il might
have thrown McHugh down, but I'm
dashed if could treat myself that way"
Quaile acknowledged that he, too, had
found rest impossible. He suggested that
they 60 to his club and cut in bridge
game.
Something to think about he said.
II mean, if we don't keep our minds ON
the game our partners will give us plenty
to worry over"
Wilkins accepted eagerly, and they
went to the club. They struggled along,
as Quaile had prophesied, to the wrath
of their partners, until it was time to re-
turn to the apartment.
While he dressed, and during their hur-
ried dinner, Quaile's ears were alert for
the telephone.
WHEN they reached the theater, VIII
kins went through the alley; but
Quaile paused on the sidewalk, gazing
with feeling of wonder and encourage
ment at the transformed facade of the old
building. 1t seemed impossible that where
there had been so much darkness, so much
dinginess, there should have sprung up
such light, such motion, such eagerness.
Most amazing of all, long line of men
and women curved along the sidewalk, up
the steps between the slender columns,
and to the open box-office window. Such
an advance sale was without precedent.
Whether McHugh wished it or not, the
publicity centering about the occult was
bearing golden fruit.
The stained-glass doors glowed with 9
subdued light from within. For the first
time, Quaile realized that he no longer
need use the somber alley through which
many times he had walked reluctantly to
face the old buildings manifestations.
He walked through one of those pleasant
doors.
The house was quite ready for per-
Torrance. Its former aspect was one
with morbid dream. It's manifestations
assumed the same unreal quality. Surely
things would proceed normally tonight.
Surely Wilkins would come through.
SUCH thoughts, however, survived only
as far as the passage to the stage. As
soon as he had started through, he became
aware of that customary repellent odor--
the shadow, as Dolly always said, of the
perfume Woodford had used.
There was more beyond to destroy his
fugitive contentment. McHugh, Dolly,
and Mike stood in the center Of the stage.
The flashing borders and the brilliancy Of
the new scenery pointed the contrast Of
the drawn faces and the distrust of these
two who had known Woodford.
whats up now?' Quaile asked them.
"The brainless idiots!n McHugh NUT
tered, with an artificial scorn. They've
been seeing and feeling things again.
Mikes face worked.
"But did see it, Mr.. Ntzhugh,
WHAT Quaile asked.
"A figure sir. Like him-like Mr..
Woodford, except that it was white fire."
Dolly placed her hand on the property
mans arm. He shook from head to foot.

tributing to Mill Supplies.

Shipments of papermaking woods
from Alexandria to the paper mills at
Piedmont and other points in West
Virginia have been made daily, and
the Virginia and Maryland woods
along the Potomac are being secured
for the material. The heavy demand
for papermaking wood is giving em-
ployment to a fleet of Potomac river
craft that is bringing the material
from along the river to Alexandria
to be shipped to papermaking plants
in various parts of the country. Al
though most of the wood is either

1t is expected that the shipments will
increase with the coming of summer
weather. if more vessels can be found
