the limousine belonging to his boss;
presently the boss daughter would
emerge and go running up the entrance
steps. In a few moments she would
come into the room glancing a%nxiously
about, as was her custom lately. Be-
fore she and her fathers secretary
had their "smashup," there were no
anxious g%lances.
Miss Helen Hazen had been wont to
pass confidently into the inner office
as one sure of welcome. The secre-
tary would return from escorting her
to the elevator after her departure, in
a blissful humor which included the
entire office force, just as his gloom
now pervaded it.

"After all, Kelley" she said, you
may be wrong about that crouch.
And" her chin tilted proudly, lone
should at least explain ones lack Of
courtesy. Courtesyr she repeated,
"why the man has been positively I'M
civil"
With an abrupt laugh she bent over
the desk, "and we won't talk any more
about people who treat us shabbily,
Kelley"
Impatiently she dashed the tears
from her eyes and opened her dainty
purse, finding one of her engraved
cards; she turned It's free side to
scribble a message to her father.
But its wording was difficult. She
had counted upon her fathers cham
pionship in rescuing her that evening
from a distasteful situation. Her
mothers purpose was very visible: she
had taken the liberty of accepting, in
her daughters name, an invitation
from Horace Knowlton.
At eight o'clock he would call to
take her to the opera and without her
fathers Intervention, refusal would be
useless. She had been through it all
so often Horace, because of his wealth
and station was, in her mothers eyes,
all things desirable as a husband for
her daughter. The girl sighed. Dad
was so different, with his own wealth,
there was but one thing he wished for
his daughter, the old-fashiOned happi-
ness.
II have missed you at the Office"
Helen wrote. "Could you stop at the
house tonight before the directors
meeting"
"Please give that to father when he
returns" she directed Kelley.
1t was not the president Of the COM
pany who later returned, but the secre-
tary instead.
"Any b%usiness?" he crisply inquired.
The office boy studied a bit of card
board in his hand, then with a keen
glance passed it over. "Miss Hazen
left that" he said.
The secretary's face went white as
he read the message.
"For gle?" he asked unbelievably.
"Sure," answered Kelley. Arsdale's
hand trembled as he turned the card
we and read it's engraved name; then
q light shone in his eyes. With one
stride he was at the telephone.
Shame]essly Kelley listened.
Miss Hazen?" joyously questioned
the secretary. "Well this is Arsdale-
Tom-just wanted to tell you that I am
coming out to the house now. Why
yes, now, if I may"
At the door the secretary looked
back with his old cheerful smile.

An Explanation Demanded.

Hazel's pride came to her rescue be-
for she was halfway home. 1nstinc-
lively she had turned to that refuge,
where she could lock herself in her
own room and cry her protest against
1t all. But she had done no wrong,
nothing Of which to be ashamed, and
when the first shock Of the news ar
ticle wore off, she threw up her head
and refused to consider what the world
at large might think. So she went
back to the office at one o'clock and
took up her work. Long before eve
ming she sensed that others had read
the Gazette. Not that anyone men
toned it, but sundry curious glances
made her painfully aware of the fact.
She had just reached the first land
ing Of her boarding house when she
heard the telephone bell, and a second
or two later the landlady called.
"Oh, Miss Weir! Telephone"
Barrow's voice hailed her over the
line.
'Tll be out by SEVEN" said he. 1--WE
had better take a walk. We can't talk
in the parlor; therell probably be a
lot of old tabbies there out of sheer
curiosity"
"All right" Hazel agreed, and hung
up.
She dressed herself. Unconsciously
the truly feminine asserted it's domi-
nance-the woman anxious to please
and propitiate her lover. She put on
q dainty summer dress, r%earranged her
hair, powdered away all trace Of the
tears that insisted on coming as soon

two blocks. she stole a backward
glance, he had disappeared.
She returned to the boarding house.
The parlor door stood WIDE, and the

her room. There "a only one cheer.
full CLEAN. She loved Jack Barrow.
She believed that he loved her, and
she could not believe-she could not
conceive-him capable of keeping
aloof, obdurate and u%nforgiving, once
he got out Of the black mood he was in.
She was still sitting by the window,
watching the yellow crimson Of the
sunset, when someone raped at her
door. A uniformed messenger boy
greeted her when she opened it:
Package for Miss Hazel Weir"
She signed the delivery sheet. The
address on the package was in Jacks
handwriting. A box Of chocolates,
or some little peace offering, maybe.
That was like Jack when he was sorry
for anything. They had quarreled be-
fore-over trifes, too.
She opened it hastily. A swift heart
sinking followed. In the small card
board box rested a folded scarf, and
thrust in it a small gold stickpin-
the only thing she had ever given
Jack Barrow. There vas no message.
She needed non to understand.
The sparkle Of the small diamond
on her finger drew her gaze. She
worked his ring owe the knuckle, and
dropped it on the dresser, where the
face in the silver frame smiled up at
her. She stared at the picture for one
long minute fxedly, with unchanging
expression, and suddenly she swept
it from the dresser with a savage
sweep of her. hand, dashed it on the
floor, and stamped it shapeless with
her slippered heel.
"Oh, oh !" she gasped. II hate you
I hate you! I despise you'll"
And then she flung herself across
the bed and sobbed Historically int,
a pillow.

down to meet him before he rang the
bell. Just behind him came a tall
man in a gray suit. This Individual
turned in at the gate, bestowing a nod
upon Barrow and q keen glance at her
as he passed.
'That's Grinell, from the Times"
Barrow muttered sourly. "Come on ;
let's get away from here. I suppose
he's after you for an interview"

Right at the start she found herself

by turns mastered her, and at day,
break she rose, heavy-lidded and phys.
ically weary.
The first thing upon which her gaze
alighted was the crumpled photo in its
, shattered frame; and, sitting on the
side Of her bed, she laughed at the
sudden fury in which she had de-
stroyed it; but there was no mirth
in her laughter.
She gathered up the bits of broken
glass and the bent frame, and put
them in a drawer, dressed herself, and
went down to breakfast. She was too
deeply engrossed in her own troubles
to notice or care whether any subtle
change was becoming manifest in the
attitude Of her fellow boarders. The
worst, she felt sure, had already over
taken her.
She had a little time to spare, and
that time she devoted to making up
a package of Barrow's ring and a few
other trinkets which he had given her.
This she addressed to his office and
posted while on her way to work.
She got through the day somehow,
struggling against thoughts that would
persist in creeping into her mind and
stirring up emotions that she was de-
termined to hold in check. Work, she
knew, was her only salvation.
And SO she got through the week.
Saturday evening came, and she went
home, dreading Sundays idleness, with

PLACE OF DISMAL HISTORY
Roanoke Island Known to Fame Be-
cause 1t Was Site of Raleigh's
lII-Fated Colony.

OH a desolate stretch of sandy beach
in North Carolina lies Roanoke island,
the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the
first English child born in America.
Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible
for Roanoke island being placed on the
pages of history, for in 1885 he sent out
a c%olonizing expedition to America, and
fate and the rough winds of the Attain
tic cast the ship up on Roanoke Isl
land. On account Of the climate, the
lack Of food and the ubiquitous In
dian the island was voted as unin-
habitable by the colonists, who packed
their belongings and took the next
ship back to England and civilization.
But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent
ed to stay, and the man in charge of.
the expedition returned with the glad
news. Four years later, when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh sent him to report on the.
progress of the colony, he found on
the island no trace of settlers or set
Element save the inscription "Croatan"
carved on a tree. Sir Walter then
gave up the Roanoke island project as
hopeless.
Roanoke island has now been In
habited for many years, chiefly by fish
ermen and ~life-savers. The latter are
negroes from the coast guard station
at Pea island, which is separated from
Roanoke island by the sound. Pea
island, the only coast guard station I'm

Numerous attempts have been

been only one of the bugaboos encoun-

degree, and the impossibility of cut

TRAWELETTE
The Field of Blood.
BY NIKSAH.

Just outside the walls of Jerusalem,
in the Valley of Hinnom is a rocky
plain known as the Aceldama or Field
of Blood. 1t is the potter's field, pur-
chased with the thirty pieces of silver
for which Judas sold his master. Here
for centuries visitors to the Holy City,
dying while on their pilgrimage, found
a resting place.
Gray and barren it is desolate
spot, solitary but for the chance visitor
and a few withered gray-clad monks
from nearby monastery. For a small.
fee, one of these ancient recluSes will
show you the sights of the place.
Caves and underground passage,
honey-combed with tombs.. are cut in
the rocky field. Your guide leads you
down age worn steps, cut perhaps in
the sixth century, into crumbling halls.
His torch casts flickering uncanny
shadows on the damp gray walls. The
place seems to resent your intrusion;
it is the place of Sleep the hall of
the dead. On one side is the tomb of
some warrior monk who followed the
fortunes of Richard of England to the
Holy Land, dying at the very gates of
the city his master had hoped to con-
uuer He must have died pennilesS,
too, as so many of these zealots did
else his bones had not rested in the
potter'S field.
Near Aceldama is a ruined charnel
house, said to have been built by the
Crusaders for their dead. 1t is a
tumbling ruin nearly thirty feet long
by twenty wide. with one side of naked
rock Beneath it are two of the larg-
est caverns, their rocky sides pierced
with tombs and shallow graves In the
roof of the ruin are holes thru which
the bodies of the dead were lowered.
The Field of Blood is on the north
eastern slope of the Hill of Evil Coun-
ell, where tradition says the villa of
Caiaphas stood. and where the chief
priest and elders plotted the execu-
