The crystal ball grew clouded. Yas-
minis breath came and went as if she
were running race, and her pressure
on Kings fingers was actually painful.
The mist dissolved, and King forgot
the pressure-forgot everything. The
man in armor lay dead on his back in
the cave on the wooden bed, and she"
bent over him. dagger in hand.
"Ah!" said Yasmini, her teeth chat

The mist turned red. The crystal
ball became as it were ball Of fire
revolving within itself. The fire turn
ed to blood, and the blood to fire
again. The very cavern that they
knelt In seemed to sway. Yasmini
screamed and moaned She loosed
Kings hands to cover her own eyes.
And as she did that King sank, like
a sack half-empty and toppled over
sidewise on the floor asleep.
He neither dreamed nor was con-
scious OF anything. but slept like a
dead man, having fought against her
mesmerism harder than he knew.
Statesmen, generals, outlaws, all
make their big mistakes and manage
to recover. Very nearly always it is
an apparently little mistake that does
most damage in the end, something
unnoticeable at the time, that grows

was only weary. It may be that she
gave him orders in his sleep, after
the accepted manner of mesmerists;
but if she did, they never reached
him; he was far too fast asleep. He
slept SO deep and long that he was
not conscious of mems voices, nor of
being carried, nor of time, nor of anX-

splendor and splendor that was not by
any means barbaric lay all about
tiger skins, ivory-legged chairs, gray

The cave was spacious and not
gloomy, for there was wide door,
unguarded, and another
square opening cut in the rock to
serve as window Through both
openings light streamed in like taut
threads of Yasmini's golden hair -
strings of golden either, on which
his own hearts promptings played a
tune.
He had no idea how long he had
slept, but judged from memory of his
former need Of sleep and recognition
of his present freshness-and from
the fact that it was a morning sun
that shone through the openings
that he must have slept the clock
round.

therefore, for lis to show our high re-
gard for you, and through you our
warm feeling for the American people,

 Joe Bullitt's got a cousin In Iowa that knows about this case. He knows the girl this fellow with the beard Is going to marry, and he says he expects it'll turn out the best thing could have happened. There's hundreds of cases like that, only you don't hear of more'n lust few of 'em. People used to get married at sixteen, seventeen, eighteen anywhere in there-and never think anything of it at all. Right up to about a hundred years ago there were more people married at those ages than there were along about twenty four and twenty-five, the way they are now. For instance, you take Shake spGare"-
 William paused. He had mentioned Shakespeare impulsively, in the ardor of demonstrating his point. However, on second thought he decided to with draw the name.
 "I mean, you take the Olden times" |" he went on. Hardly anybody got married after they were nineteen or twenty years old, unless they were widOwerS, because they were all mar ried by that time. And right here in our own county there were eleven couples married in the last six months under twenty-One years of age"
 Mir. Genesis uttered q loud chuckle. My goodness" he exclaimed. How you c'leck all dem fac's? Lan' namel What puzzlin' me is how you member 'em after you done c'leck 'em."
 Williams expression was pleasant to see-in fact, 1t was the pleaSantest ex- pression Jane had seen him wearing for several days. Almost always late ly he was profoundly preoccupied and so easily annoyed that there was no need to be careful of his feelings, be- cause, as his mother observed, he was certain to break out about every so often, no matter what happened"
