One girl with an eye to economy
utilized a black satin princess dress
for q bathing suit. The material
was e1oslIsnt. but the dress was
hopelessly out of style. She re-
moved the sleeves, though some
girls prefer to cut them on at elbow
length. The neck was cut a little
lower. Black and white striped
washable sateen was purchased for
trimming.
A smart collar was cut and q
number OF buttons covered for the
back closing. A bias band about
three inches wide was applied to
the bottom of the skirt. Little white
rings were crochetsd for the front
panel and laced together with white
soutAchs braid. navy fashion. A
saucy cap of striped sateen was
worn with this delightful suit.

But already the child had been
wrapped up and taken into another
room The frenzied mother raised
herself, and Fulbert said:
my child. have you forgotten the
oath made to Buddhs, your God7 The
child is mine now!"
Martha was too much overcome to
protest Her eyes were wild with
terror and she fell back upon the
pillows, unconscious.
Fulbert waited q week, so that the
mother might be in At condition to
return to her family. and so that the
baby might better endure the journey
from vsldemosa to Barcelona and the
sea trip from Barcelona to Palma de
Majorca-
During that week. however, he did
not once go to see Martha, though he
had allowed the child to spend three
or four hours each day with its
mother.
Everything for the journey had
been arranged beforehand The baby
and his nurse. a healthy peasant from

on Cabrera. Fulbert did not take his
eyes from the nurse and child-that
nameless child who was destined to
serve the dreadful ends OF Oxus.
As for the mother, she was taken
to her parents by q discreet nun.
though things did not turn out exact
ly as FuIbert had hoped
The evening of the day before that
on which the journey began, Fulbert
entered Martha's room He found the
young girl in an extreme state OF agi-

priest entered, but less with submits

protection.

In Q cell Of q secret Lamaist mon
astery in Spain a man was seated
upon q bench with his back to the
bare wall His arms were crossed
and his chin was on his breast and
he was thinking intently.
It was Fulbert. the priest, who had
FIRST been an orthodox ecclesiastic.
then had become q votary Of Lama
ism. His brows were knit, and often
he tapped his foot impatiently as II
some one he expected were late. He
was muttering to himself solmenly:
Surely, q newborn child OF some
kind won't be hard to fnd. How
many poor or unnatural mothers
there are who would be only too
glad to sell me theirs for a little
money! But its father must have
been intelligent, Of q noble race, ac-
customed to great deeds. Above all.
1t must have q natural instinct
toward greatness.
'"Today's event will present more
difficulties II Martha de BIiguires'
child should be a girl"
Imagining he heard a cry for help.
he stopped and leaned toward the
door Of his cell. He was mistaken.
Nothing had broken the silence of
the monastery. In the continued
quiet he went on:
"If It should not be q boy. weeks
and months may pass before can
get possession OF a newborn male to
be our instrument for the conquest
of the world. All! II this Martha does
bring forth a son, the triumph will
cost only eighteen years of work.
Eighteen years! Martha? Mar
tina will keep silence. Dolores tells
me that q passionate tenderness for
this dreaded child has grown up
within her breast, but just the same
she will forget-a husband will make
her forget the past Her reputation,
her life's happiness, depends upon her
silence"
He stopped, rising abruptly. Turn
ing his eyes toward the door OF his
cell. he groaned: How long is It!
How long,"
At this moment the door opened
and a tall, thin Lamaist nun ap-
peGred.
"Fulbert," she said, in q strong,
clear voice. che Is born"
''It Is a boy!" he shouted.
yes; 1t is a boy"
A Mothers Grief.
Already he had sprung forward,
and. led by the nun. he went rapidly
down a long passage and entered q
room. There he dropped before a bed
on which lay Martha de BlIguires,
pale and wasted. her eyes closed. Her
delicate hands were crossed upon the
covers and her lips moved softly.
At the head of the bed two nuns
were wrapping in flannel a little
wailing creature.
The priest glanced swiftly at the
mother. then trembling with Joy, min
gled with fierce Impotence, he went
toward the nuns.
They understood, and, with deft,
gentle hands, took OF the baby's
swaddling bands and presenI-- him
on q cushion for the priests in
spection.
Fulbert uttered q cry OF admira-
ton before the round, plump II tie
body, the strong limbs, the whole
some vigor OF the newborn child.
"Oxus win be satisfied" he said,
half to himself.
Then, as ~ he were taking formal
possession, he plunged his hand into
q pitcher OF clear water and baptized
the child. murmuring the Lamaist
ritual.
At the priests cry OF admiration
the mother had opened her eyes and
saw the act OF baptism.
Great tears rolled down her cheeks,
and trsmblingly she implored:
