"When l saw those tears in your

Mother Donaldson called to her, and
Maizie passed over the queer pertur-
baton Warren had manifested and he,
hugging close to his soul vast secret,
managed to act rational.
She noted suppressed excitement In
his manner when he left her later IN
the evening. 1t was three days later
when he reappeared. Warren looked as
if he had not slept since she last saw
him. He was haggard, his hair rump'

spring internal fire.

package from his pocket, II have here
a remarkable invention, and as 1t was

eyes and nostrils, while band of
whalebone fitted it close into place.

She playfully set the mask in place.
The bright laughing eyes shone
through the thin glass, roguish, be-
witching. Then Maize was sedate and
attentive as Warren told her Of his
plans. He had been directed to a
patent lawyer in the city, and he was
exhilarated over the belief that his In
vention would be a great money max
er. Maize thought different, but she
did not dampen his hopes by saying
so. Two weeks later, disappointed
detected man, Warren alighted from an
evening train.
Just as he was nearing home, turn
