 Thus the day came when. at her fa- ther's pleading, she placed her hand in that of Sebastian Navarro.
 q consent, upon our understanding" she said to the Argentine.
 John Walcott had continued to rep resent to his daughter that his finances were in critical state. He had said nothing of Sebastian's loan, which had actually so far improved his position that he saw prospects of repaying it and resuming his old status. To save her father Leontine had consented.
 Her consent was coupled with the 1 restriction that the marriage was to be one in name only. until Sebastian had won her love That she knew, would never happen. But Sebastian, infatuated with the girl. believed that, once he had her as his wife. the path to happiness would be smooth one. They were married at the American consulate in Porto Delgado. and sailed for New York, where Sebastian was establishing a branch of his business. They secured a splendid apartment on Riverside drive. and Leontine found herself with all that money could con- mand.
 Sebastian was very patient for the first month after her arrival Leon tine, though she knew that she could never love him, felt her heart soften ing.
 Then came what she had long dread ed. Sebastian resolved to use other means than those he had adopted, which seemed impossible of success.
 Leontne was amazed and terrified at the transformation in his appear

"The sentence of this court is that the prisoner be confined in penal servitude for the duration of his life l''
 Leontine rose from her place among the spectators. Her tall, slender fig ure, robed in black, attracted the in- stant attention of the assemblage.
 "He is not guilty He is not guilty p she cried, in tones that rang through the packed court.
 There was a sympathetic stir among those who were present. Although the supposed murder of Diego Navarro, brother of the richest man in the dis trfct, had aroused violent antagonism

ance as he entered the apartment that evening. He seemed a different man. Sebastian had always appeared a gentleman at least in externals. Now he came in violently, his hat on the back of his head, his steps uncertain. To her horror. Leontine saw that he had been drinking
 "Leontine, there's got to be an end of this he said thickly.
 She rose and stood before him in dumb terror, staring into his flushed face.
 I've married you. I've given you everything you want, and I've tried to make you happy. What's your game? What are you holding out for, eh?"
 Sebastian, you-you know your promise,' faltered the girl.
 He caught her fiercely by the wrist and thrust his face into hers. The smell of brandy on his breath nauseat- ed her.
 "A ruse, my dear" he mumbled. See here, Leontine, you might as well give in. You know you haven't any legal rights in the matter. That's enough, isn't it? If you know how l love you, Leontine-'
 A maudlin fit overcame him He burst into tears, while the girl looked at him in ever-increasing disgust.
 T love you, Leontine," he babbled. What have I done to deserve this treatment? I'll be your slave and do anything you ask me if only youll try to love me little. Promise me you'll try, Leontine."
 He grasped her in his arms and pressed his kisses upon her lips and throat and brow. Leontine. writhing helplessly in his clutch, felt herself impotent. s
 Sebastian, dragging her across the room suddenly released her. An in- articulate cry broke from his lips. LeOntine opened her eyes, reeling as she strove to keep her foothold She saw upon Sebastian's face stupefac- tion, and fear, frantic fear.
 He was pointing across the room and muttering. His gestures were those of a madman.
 Leontine's gaze followed his. In far corner, at the height of the head of man, she saw two burning eyes, and, close beneath them two white hands, one of which clutched dagger.
 That was all. There was no body, nothing but the two eyes and the white hands that clutched the steel.
 But the Thing was alive. The eyes glowed with hatred that made them orbs of fire. Leontine saw one of the hands raise the dagger and move to- ward the Argentine

toward Jerry, Leontine's championship of her lover had somewhat changed public sentiment.
 Put that woman out !" thundered the judge who had pronounced the sen- tence.
 Bat the command was superfiuous. Leontine reeled and fell unconscious into her fathers arms.
 Jerry's first thought when he heard the verdict was of pity for Leontine. His second was that somehow he would escape to her.
 She went to see him the following day before he was removed to the penal institution.
 "Jerry-Jerry, darling, I shall de- vote my life to setting you free" she said. You were not spared in the wreck to be lost to me in this way"
 He urged her to forget him, to be happy with another, but he knew that of them. Their lips met through the lattice. Then she was gone, and Jerry looked into the blackness of a death in life.
 A few weeks after the trial, when Jerry had already been removed to the up-country prison, John Walcott approached his daughter again upon the subject of Sebastian.
 Ut means the difference between wealth and ruin," he told her bluntly. If you become his wife, he will ad- vance me enough money to retrieve my affairs. If you refuse, we shall be penniless beggars."
 Leontine consented. Before the month was out Sebastian had again asked her to be his wife. He had been very patient, very gentle with her for a long time past. Leontine felt trapped and helpless. She prom ised him his answer soon.
 "As well rot there as here!"
 The speaker an old convict who had served the greater part of his life in the penitentiary looked at Jerry hope lessly as he spoke.
 Orders had come that all life pris-
  mainland and transported to lonely | island in the Atlantic. Z Jerry ground his teeth with helpless rage when he heard it. He had never abandoned the hope of effecting his escape.
 A week. later the prisoners were manacled and marched down to the wharf, where the convict ship lay ready to transport them. They were marched aboard and taken into the hold.
 Only for brief half-hour each day were the prisoners allowed on deck in patches, for exercise.
 They were chained in couples. By good luck Jerry's chain companion was the old convict who had expressed indifference as to their destination.
 Jerry and the old man often dis cussed the possibilities of escape. The

Leontine did not give Sebastian his answer soon, and he, coming to realize that if he demanded one it would be adverse, ceased to press her. He aid ed John Walcott in his business with a substantial loan, in return for the merchants promise to assist him in his suit to the best of his ability Sebastian settled down for long siege.
 About six months after the verdict a letter came to Leontine from the prison authorities. Having satisfied themselves that Jerry had escaped from s,'e ship, and being certain of his death, these gave out the information that he had died in the epidemic, in order to cover their own negligence.
 Jerry was dead, That was the one fact that burned itself into Leontines s

The initiative for this comes from
the Imperial German Headquarters
which has charged the Office Of Images
and Films, with the task Of entering
into relations with the daily press.
Several Berlin papers have already de-
clared themselves ready 90 introduce
in their columns caricatures Of this
nature. Nearly all OF the celebrated
, artists OF Berlin and Munich have con-
sented TO furnish the designs. These
cartoons will have especially for their
themes, the declarations Of certain
chiefs Of the Entente who have ex-
pressed their desire 20 destroy Ger
many; others will exploit the failures
OF our enemies and our own victories

The designs will be as small ir

carried In a single column without
taking up too much space. 10 is OF the
