Between the hour of writing her
note to Alan and the moment when
she stepped on the train Alix had had
no time to think. She was still driven
by the impulse of anger that Gerry's
words had aroused She did not reflect
that the wound was only to her pride.
Alan held open the door of the draw.
ing room. She passed in and he closed
it. Alix threw back her veil and
looked at him. With quick stride for
ward he caught her to him and kissed
her mouth until she gasped for breath.
With a flash she remembered his own
words, III ever kiss you shall bring
your soul out between your lips" To
Alix' amazement she did not feel an
answering fire. The kiss had brought
her soul out between her lips. Her
soul stood naked before her and ones
naked soul is an ugly thing. The kiss
disrobed her, too, and from that last
bourne of shame Alix suddenly re-
yolted.

Alan did not move. He knew that II
he could not hold her with his eyes he
could not hold her at all. The train
started. Alix passed through the door
and rushed to the platform. The por-
ter was about to drop the trap on the
steps. Alix slipped by him. With all
her force she pushed open the door
and jumped. The train was moving
very slowly but Alix reeled and would

still in his arms, Alix looked back.
Alan's white face was at the window.
He looked steadily at her.

brogue and twinkling eye.

COAL PRODUCTION INCREASES.
Over 4,6s3 Tons Mined In Colorado
First Six Months of 1916.

over 4,6s3 Tons Mined In Colorado
First Six Months of 1916.
Denver.-Colorado's coal production
for the first six months of 1916 shows
an increase of 1,026,s36 tons over the
same months last year. Operators OF
the state are jubilant over the good
showing which the mines are making
and the increased production, especial
ly in view of the difficulty which they
have had in getting men, owing to the
shortage in the labor market.
The total tonnage produced up to
June 80 this year is 4.6s3,s43, accord
ing to figures compiled by Mrs. Ada
Tibbits of the state coal mining de-
partment. Last years tonnage for
the same period was 3,657,0O7. The
production for June this year was
726,S35 tons, as compared with $685.
$50 tons last June. The biggest In
creases are shown in Las Animas
county. The increase in that county
for the six months is 661,O66 tons:
for Huerfano county, 112,s27; Fremont
county, $3.50; Routt county. S1,451;
Boulder county. 33,0s1; Gunnison
county. aa76s, and Jefferson county,
13.767.
Only two fatal accidents were re-
ported to the coal mine inspector in
June The average number Of men
employed was 12,151.

CHAPTER
& wv 1

Gerry stood in the hall outside Alix'
room for moment hoping to hear
sob, a cry, anything for an excuse to
go back. Instead he heard the scratch
of n pen but he was too troubled to
deduce anything from that. He went
slowly down the stairs and out into
the street. The biting winter air
braced him. He started to walk rapid
ly. At the end of IN hour he found
himself standing on deserted pier.

Alan and when he did he would break
him. The scorn he had expressed to
Alix for Alan and Alan's nature was
without understanding but 1t was gen.
uine. He knew there were such men
and he ascribed all their acts to a de-
basement beyond regeneration and
none to temperament. From moral
laxity there was no appeal beyond the
sin itself.
The landfall of Pernambuco awoke
him from reveries and introspection.
He did not look upon this palm-strewn
coast as a land of new beginnings-he
sought merely a Lethean shore.
The ship crawled in from an oily
sea to the long strip of harbor behind
the reef Above, the sun blazed from
a bowl of unbroken blue; on land,
the multicoiored houses spread like a
rainbow under q dark cloud Of brown
tiled roofs. Giant plane trees cast blots
of shade on the cobbled esplanade
of the boat quay. In their shelter
negress squatted behind her basin Of
CONSCIOUS and another before a tray
of fried fish. Around them lounged
a ragged crew, boatmen, stevedores
and riffraff, black, brown and white.
Beyond the trees was line Of high

ferent color, all weather-stained. and

turbaned Asiatic, strayed to an un-
friendly shore, with jeers; an astound-
ed Briton, faultlessly dressed, found
his spats the sensation Of street.
Each of these incidents Gerry had wit
messed with amusement and dismissed
without thought. Now they became
SO many weather-vanes all pointing
the same way. How was it Alan had
summed up the history Of American
"Men, machinery, machines"
With the thought of Alan his brow
puckered. Here he felt no impulse to
indulgence. Some day he would meet

Alix and Alan were In the grip of
fever that is hard to break save
through safety and ruin. They were
still held apart by generations of sound
tradition but against this bulwark the
full flood of modern life as they lived
II was directed.
1t was only year ago that the table
talk one night had turned on what was
society's religion and Alan had said.
Society has no religion nowadays;
It has given up religion for corrosive
philosophy of nonethics." He had seen
clearly then but not clearly enough to
save himself. He had played with the
corrosive philosophy until he had di-
vorced flesh from the soul and now it
was playing with him. He found him
self powerless in the grip of his desire
for Alix.
With her, things had not gone so far.
From the security of the untempted
she had watched her chosen world play
with FIRE and only now when tempta-
tion assailed her, did she realize the
weakness that lies in every woman
once her outposts have fallen and her
bare heart becomes engaged in the bat
tie. Not many days had passed after
their -eturn when Alan's constant at
tendance upoa Gerry's wife became
the absorbing center of interest to their
part of town life. People said little
enough. Their eyes were too wide
open watching the headlong rush to-
wards catastrophe.

CHAPTER v-contInued.

Towards the end of the voyage Alix
faced, wide-eyed, the revelation that
the stakes of the game she and Alan
had played were body and soul.
"Alan," she said one night with droop-
ing head, 1--WE had enough. I don't
want to play any more. I want to
quit" She lifted tear-filled eyes to
him. The foil of artifciality had been
Knocked from her hand. She was all
woman and defenseless.
Alan felt a trembling in all his
limbs. 81 want to quit, too. Alix." he
said in his low vibrating voice. "but
I'm afraid we can't. You see. I'm
beaten, too. While was Just in love
with your body we were safe enough,
but now I'm in love with you. It's
the kind of love a man can pray for
in vain. No head in it: nothing but
mere names. Nothing matters to me
but you"
Tears crawled slowly down Alix'
cheeks. She stood with her elbows
on the rail and faced the ocean SO no
one might see. Her hands were locked.
In her mind her own thoughts were
running. Somehow she could under
stand Alan without listening. II only
Gerry had done this thing to her, she
was thinking, the pitiless wracking
misery would have been joy at white
heat. She was unmasked at last-but
Gerry had not unmarked her. Not
once since the day of their engage
ment had Gerry unmasked himself.
Alan was standing with his side to
the rail. his eyes leaving her face only
to keep track of the promenaders SO
that no officious friend should take her
by surprise. He went on talking. "Our
judgment is calling to US to quit but
It is calling from days ago." he. said.
eve wouldn't listen then and It's only
the echo we hear now. We can try
to quit IL you like. but when 1 am
alone / shall call for you. and when
you are alone you will call for me.
We will always be alone except when
we are near each other. We can't
break the tension, Alix. 1t will break
us in the end"
The slow tears were still crawling
down AK cheeks. In all her life
she had never suffered so before She
felt that each tear paid the price of all
her levity.

at him. did you know when we began
that 1t was going to be like this?'

between the heart and The kidneys Ia
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension b

occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease or
