Evening star., 1916-10-15

The absinthe may have caused the final
utter breakdown of Hamilton's self-con-
troll here and at Madame Courcy y's-but
that the desire could be there without ii
Monte had twice proved to himself that
evening.
Once was when he had struck Hamil-
ton. He alone knew that when he hit that
time it was with the lust to kill-even as
Hamilton had shot to kill. The feeling
lasted only the fraction of second
merely while his fist was plunging toward
Hamilton's chin. But, however brief, it
had sprung from within him-a blood-red,
frenzied desire to beat down the other
man. At the moment he was not so much
conscious of trying to protect her as to
rid himself of Hamilton.
The second mad moment had come in
the cab, when he had looked down at her
lips. AS the passion to kill left him, an
other equally strong passion had taken its
place. He had hungered for her lips-the
very lips Hamilton, moment before, had
attempted to violate. He who all his life
had looked as inditferently upon living
lips as upon sculptured lips had suddenly
found himself in the clutch of a mighty
'iNSiIN. iol u S'Colli nt Hd'i SW tNl ultltI
the temptation. He had been ready to
risk everything, because for a heartbeat
or two nothing else seemed to matter In
his Madness he had even dared think that
delicate, sensitive mouth trembed like
desire.
Even here in the dark, alone, something
of the same desire returned He began
to pace the room
HOW she would have hated him had he
yielded to that impulse! He shud-
dered as he imagined the look of horror
that would have leaped into her dark eyes.
Then she would have Shrunk away fright
ened and her eyes would have grown cold
those eyes that had only so lately
warmed at all. Her face would have
turned to marble-the face that only SO
lately had relaxed.
She trusted him-trusted him to the
extent of being willing to marry him to
save herself from the very danger with
which he had threatened her. Except
that at the last moment he had resisted,
he was no better than Hamilton.
In her despair she had cried, "Why
won't they let me alone?' and he had
urged her to come with him. so that she
might be let alone. He was to be merely
her camarade de poyage-her big brother.
Then, in less than twelve hours, he had
become like the others. He felt unfit to
remain in the next room to her-untit
to greet her in the morning. In an agony
of remorse, he clenched his fists.
He drew himself up shortly. new
question leaped to his brain. Was this,
then, love? The thought brought both
solace and fresh terror. 1t gave him at
least some justification for his moment of
temptation; but it also brought vividy
before him countless new dangers. If this
We're love, then he must face day after day
of this sort of thing. Then lie would be
at the mercy Of a passion that must inevi-
tably lead him either to Hamilton's plight
or to Chic Warren's equally unenviab!e
position. Each man, in his own way, paid
the cost: Hamilton, mad at Maxim's;
Chic pacing the floor, with beaded brow,
at night With these two examples be-
fore him, surely he should have learned
his lesson. Against them he could place
his own normal life-ten years of it with

of smiling eyes where adventure lurked.
With the coffee he lighted a cigarette
and leaned back contentedly until it was
time to go.
AS they went out of the room he was
toward her, so that he threw back his
shoulders a little farther than usual and
looked about with some scorn at those
who had with them only ordinary women.
THE comedy at the Gymnase was suf-
fciently amusing to hold her attention,
and that was the best she could ask for;
but Monte watched it indifferently, re-
senting the fact that it did hold her at
tention. Besides, there We're too many
people all about her here. For two hours
and half it was as if she had gone back
into the crowd. He was glad when the
final curtain rang down and he was able
to take her arm and guide her out.
"Maxim's next" he inquired.
"Do you want to go?" she asked.
dts for you to decide, he answered.
She was dead tired by now, but she did
not dare to stop.
"All right, she said; "we'll 60"
1t was harlequin crowd at Maxim $
noisier, tenser, more hectic crowd than
at the Richie The room was gray with
smoke, and everywhere Marjory looked
were gold-tipped wine bottles. Though it
was still early, there was much hysterical
laughter and much tossing about of long
streamers of colored paper and confetti.
AS they entered she instinctively shrank
away from it. Had the waiter delayed
another second before leading them to a
table, she would have gone out.
Monte ordered the wine he was ex-
pected to order, but Marjory scarcely
touched it to her lips, while he was con-
tent to watch it bubble in his glass. He
did not like to have her here and yet it
was almost worth the visit to watch her
eyes grow big, to watch her sensitive
mouth express the disgust she felt for the
mad crowd, to have her unconsciously
hitch her chair nearer his.
"The worst of it is, he explained to her
"it's the outsiders who are doing all this
Americans, most of them"
Suddenly, from behind them, clear
tenor voice made itself heard through
the din. The first notes We're indistinct;
but in few seconds the singer had the
room to himself. Turning quickly Mar
jory saw the slender figure of Hamilton,
swaying slightly, standing by table, his
eyes leveled upon hers. He was singing
"The Rosary ry"-singing it as only he,
when half mad, could sing it.
She clutched Monte's hand as he half
rose from his seat.
please" she whispered, "it's best to
sit still"
Stronger and stronger the plaintive
melody fell from the singers lips, until
finally the orchestra joined. Women
strained forward, and half dazed men
listened with bated breath. Even Monte
forgot for moment the boldness that in
spired Hamilton, and became conscious
only of Marjory's warm fingers within his.
So, had the singer been any one else, he
would have been content to sit to the end.
But he knew the danger there. His only
alternative, however, was to rise and
press through the enraptured crowd,
which certainly would have resented the
interruption. 1t seemed better to wait,
and go out during the noisy applause that
was sure to follow.
At the second verse Hamilton, still

Allies Defense Against Economic Az
erosion Is Not Directed
Against Them.

LONDON, August 2-England re-
CARDS as an essential part of aay
peace conditions, the restoration by
Germany of Belgium and Serbia both
materially and economically and the
repairing of devastated portions of
France and Russia, Premier Asquith
today declared in speech in COM
mons.
British eyes, the premier said, had
been opened to the full meaning Of
the German system Of economic, COM
mereial and financial penetration and
it was necessary to prepare to combat
this. Asquith asserted that at the
Paris economic conference of the al
..es, the opinion was that the black
list should be continued during the
war.
The resolutions of this conference
he said were not directed against neu-
trails.
Eve are aware Of some uneasiness
in America" the premier continued,
'.but this Is not justified. The al
lies measures are their sole defense
againsG economic aggression. Every
effort will be made to see that neu-
trails dc not suffer"
