Louise was leaning back among the
cushions of the motionless car. The
moon had not yet risen, but faint and
luminous glow, spreading like halo
about the topmost peak of the ragged
line of hills, heralded its approach.
Her eyes swept the hillsides, vainly
yet without curiosity, for any sign of a
human dwelling. Her chauffeur and
her maid stood talking heatedly to-
gether near the radiator.
Louise leaned forward and called to
the chauffeur.
"Chares," she asked, "what has hap

was something almost awesome in the
