I the door at the farther end of the
room came a dinly seen figure In white.
The place seemed wrapped In a mys-
deal twilight. with long black rays of
deeper shadow lying across the floor.
There -zs 4 little murmur Of tense
voices, and then again silence.
FIR a few moments the figure In
, Wssite was motionless. Then, without
my visible commencement, she seemed
suddenly to blend Into the waves of
lo~, passionate music The dance it
self was without form or definite move
ment- She seemed at FIRST like some
white. Hmbless spirit, floating here and
there across the dark bars Of shadow
at the calling Of the melody. There
was no apparent effort Of the body.
She was merely a beautiful, unearthiy
shape. 1t was like the fitting Of a
white moth through the blackness of a
moonless summer night
But her motions grew more anil
mated. more human With feet which
seemed never to meet the earth, she
was standing. He caught the smolder-
Ing fre In her eyes as she danced with
In q few feet Of him. He felt q catch in
his breath Some subtle and only half
expressed emotion shook his whole be-
ing, seemed to tear at the locked cham
ber Of his soul.
She bad hung her arms forward. 20
near that they almost touched him.
He could have sworn that her lips had
called his name. He felt himself be-
w1tched, filed with an insane longing
to throw out his arms In response to
her passionate, unspoken Invitation. In
obedience to the clamoring of his seeth-
