stacks OF clean, white paper and en-
velopes. And some sheets of very
thin. black paper, with one side glossy,

A conspiracy of silence seemed
to fall on our group all during the
long day when Val lay in the blue
room, going from faints into hys-
terics and from Mysteries into
strangely calm periods. She was
continually sending for Jim and me.
] wondered if. with him as with me,
she seemed always on the verge OF
asking something and always draw

In the late afternoon Virginia
decided to walk over to Mason TOW
ers with Pat.
''Whatn we do now that we find
ourselves alone together for
change, Lilac Lady," Jim asked.
IF you don't mind, Jimmie boy,
I replied. 1 sort of feel like get
ting out for q breath of air.
"All right, I'll come with you.

Cling for a light tone to cover my

Because your walk this morning
had such pleasant results?' queS-
toned Jim, tartly.
"Oh. boy-dear, that's unworthy!
Can't YOU understand that / want
to get off by myself and pull my
self together"
NO, I'll never fully understand
the modern woman-even though
I'm married to her. But run along,
OF course / know you don't want
me to go with you, but still
might insist if it weren't for the
fact that it's only decent for one
of us to stay in the house in case

on this roof.
But we didn't tumble to the
roof" said the girl by the time
we reached here we were floating
very slowly. and I'm almost sure
we could float down to the street
without getting hurt. Eureka walks

pound" replied the horse in a
scornful tone, while | weigh about

You don't weigh as much as you
ought to. jim" remarked the girl,
shaking her head as she looked at
the animal. You're dreadfully
skinny"
"Oh. vel; I'm old" said the
horse, hanging his head despond-
emily, "and I've had lots of trouble e
in my day, little one. For a good
many years | drew a public cab in
Chicago, and that's enough to make
anyone skinny"
He eats enough to get fat I'm
sure" said the boy. gravely.
DO |? Can YOU remember any
breakfast that I've had to-day"
growled Jim, as if he reese ntcd Zeb's
speech.
None of us has had breakfast" +"
said the boy; "and in a time of dan
ger lik" this it's foolish to talk
about eating"
y Nothing is more dangerous than
being without food" decared the
horse, with u sniff at the rebuke
of his young master; 'and just at
present no one can tell whether
there are any oats in this queer
country or not If there are, they
are liabe to be glass oats:'
II can see plenty of nice gardens
and fields down below us. at the
edge of this city. But wish we
could find way to get to the
ground"
rwhy don't YOU walk down :"
asked Eureka. I'm as hungry as
the horse is, and | want my milk"
will you try it, Zeb?" asked tho
girl. turning to her companion.
Zeb hesitated. He was still pale
and frightened, for this dreadful
adventure lad upset him and made
him nerVou; and worried. But he
did not wish the Iittle girl to think
him a coward, so he advanced
slowly to the edge of the roof.
Dorothy stretched out a hand TO
him and Zeb put une foot aut and
let it rest in the air little over
the edge of the roof. II seemed firm
enough to walk upon, so he took
courage and put out the other foot.
Dorothy kept hold OF his ,and and
followed him, and soon they were
with the kitten frisk;ng beside
them.
Come. on, Jimto' called the boy.
Its all right"
Jim had crept to the edge of the
roof to look over, and being
