CHAPTER NINE
The ChangeIing.
I. TRANSLATION.

As on that first occasion when sleep
had stolen upon and overcome her
unawares, in the studio, her unclos-
Ing eyes comprehended only dark
ness absolute.
Unlike that time, when she had
reused instantaneously, self-cOnscious-
ness springing suddenly, full witted,
full powered, clear, out of nightmare
thralldom, now she awoke slowly and
at expense of effort almost painful :
senses and perceptions struggling long
and arduously to break the embrace
of lethargy so deep and undisturbed
that the self-sense had lain in 1t be-
numbed and stified, like a seed that
slumbers in the pent darkness of
the earth against the coming of the
spring.
In the confusion of those first wax
ing moments she believed herself to
be at home, in bed.
But the darkness of her bedchamber
had never been sheer; there was al
ways a diffused glow from the lights
In the street to temper it.
Then she remembered, duly, the
studio and the WEAKNESS that had
weighed upon her in the afternoon.
She must have slept several hours
at the least reckoning, for it had been
broad daylight when she lay down,
the evenings were long, and it was
now, judging by the blackness of IT
and the silence dead of night.
But she looked in vain for the
violet-tinted rectangle of the north
light
And mysteriOusly the windows were
shut which had been open when she
stretched out to rest For there was
not only an utter absence of light hut
q smothering lack Of fresh air. Her
lungs starving, she lay for some time
stupidity contemplating the eXertiOn
that would be needed to rise and open
one of the windows Somehow she
could not seem to nerve herself TO II
She was feeling actually ill., squeam-
ish Her limbs were stiff and heavy
her hands hot. her cheeks and fore
head afire. a prickling sensation af
licted her body. she was athirst and
the taste in her mouth was evil: and
when she moved her head upon the
pillow. pain like a brutal blow crashed
from temple to temple and back again
and again, forcing feeble groans past
her lips.
Nevertheless conditions such as
these we're uncomfortable At whatever
air. -.
She steeled herself and presently.
by a supreme exertion of will power
forced herself to sit up For the time
being ste could no mere. The pain
rocked and smashed about like mad
thing, till she wondered would it break
her skull. And as by degrees those
transports subsidized she was taken
with qualms of nausea.
She must have kicked off her shoes
in her sleep. At least, she could not
remember removing them before lying
down. At all events-whatever had
become of them-they were gone Be
meath her stOckinged feet the floor
was bare and rough. Of unfinished
wood. Now, there was rug beside
the divan In the studio And even
had II been spirited away like her
shoes, the studio floor was of hard
wood neatly Joined and polished till
Its surface was like glass.
Then a hand that she dropped to
the edge of her couch encountered the

| Slowly it was borne in upon her that
she was neither in her bedchamber
nor in ber studio.
This conviction struck home to her
understanding with a shock that
brought her to her feet. What had
happened? Where was she-and who? /?
Was she Priscilla Maine, delirious?
Or was she Leonora-yet once again
that puppet of her life in dreams, en-
barked upon some new and still more
terrible adventure?
But LeonOra was no more -.
She took a blind step into obscurity,
and another, blundered into a chair
and Knocked it over with a clatter.
While she waited, dashed, hands
clutching. wildly at vacant blackness,
a key turned in reluctant lock, a
door opened, closed, and was relocked.
Priscilla failed to elicit more than
a harsh, inarticulate whisper from a
swollen throat.
A match rasped and spluttered in
the murk, gas-jet hissed from a
wall-bracket, spreading fan-like flame
with a body of CHASTITY blue and bor-
der of tawny yellow.
1t revealed a mean and ugly cubicle,
perhaps six feet by eight, with dingy
walls to whose crumbling plaster chung

The single window was stoutly board

was stranger alike to carpeting and

furnishing there was a small table of
painted wood, the overturned chair,
and scorbutic iron bedstead with
sway-backed springs. lumpy mattress
and one emaciated pillow.

opened very auspiciously, SO far as the
prospects for good catch of both
coyotes and bobcats is concerned,
and the quality OF fur taken thus far.
of both cats and dogs is exceptional
ly fine quality Trappers report that
in every direction coyotes are NUM-
erous, and being in the main young
ones are not as wary as the old gray
boards. The rabies seems TO have
about run it course in this section, as
the pups and younger coyotes are
wearing fine. glossy coats. The price
of skins this season, however, is an
unknown factor. in November OF
each year, big fur sale is held in

dicates the demand Tor furs, and until

Storage in WashOe

The surveying party from the Fed
! eral Reclamation Service, which has
been at work in the Spanish Spring
| Valley Just north of this city, has
:ound a possible storage capacity OF
! 100000 acre-feet and underground con-
ditions that make for entire feasibility
OF dam construction, and it Is re-
ported that the above mentioned
amount of storage can be secured by
the construction OF dam that will be
| modelled very much after the famed
Lahontan dam, says the Sparks Tri-
bune
Spanish Spring Valley has long been
considered one OF the very best
available water storage sites and its
proximity to Sparks would mean a
great deal in the future OF that city.
Such water storage basin wouli
mean the reclamation of thousands
OF acres of land contiguous to this
city and district.
1t is believed by those who are
more or less familiar with the water
situation that Spanish Springs will be
! The site selected and prepared for stor-
sage within the next two or three
years to take the place of the Tahoe
basin. which has virtually been lost to
the government.
Il is believed, however, that the
Spanish Springs site is even better
than the Tahoe basin. The Truckce
river water shed has an annual run
off greatly exceeding the Tahoe wa
ter shed run off. 1t is estimated that
the annual run off of the Truckee
watershed is 10000 acre feet
The Spanish Springs storage would
take care of the Fallon and the La
hontan district and in addition would
embrace about 10000 acres on the
Pyramid bench, which has been an
attraction to settlers for years, ana
winch NEEDS only the magic touch OF
water to convert it into the best
farming land in the west.
AT the present time there is about
$50O,0C0 for the Reclamation funds
available for the Spanish Springs
scheme, and as soon a the co-opera.
ton of the water users of the New
lands project is assured, this sum can
be put to work developing the new
district.
Such a movement will convert al
the land north and east OF Sparks in
to the finest farming land in Nevada
and will bring thousand of people to
this section to farm the district. ii
will likewise enhance values and make
this section OF the state the real gar
den spot of Nevada.
