those tricks against which there is no
defense, told him that he stood in
this same position, in exactly this
same spot, when two years ago the
doctor had pronounced his, sentence,
and Carol, in terrible silence, had then
and there confirmed it,, His imagina-
tion conjured up that scene again !;
his blood chilled; he could fancy that
Carol and the doctor were actually be-

them in the flesh, and feeling the lash

AT the threshold there was a faint
rustic of fabric, and Hilliard turned.

smiled benignly.

said, dropping her hands. "Pve brought
you the letter I spoke about" He
gave it to her, and coughed ais en-

you. And Pm sure you don't want
anything to prevent you from read
ing it at once, so if you'd rather pre-
fer to have me come back later for
the talk you wanted"
He was already moving toward the
doorway; she restrained him gently,
although her eyes couldn't be dragged
from the folded paper he had given
her.
"No," she said, ''please don't go.

ther, Mr. billiard. He's anxious to
see you, too. Won't you wait while 1
call him?"
He inclined his head; followed her
with his eyes to the hallway, strained
his hearing, and knew that she had
opened the letter as soon as she was
out of his sight. His lips twitched
cynically-and then, as he remem-
bered Angela's Injunction, straight
ened. After all, this much was pure
charity. Down the hallway, thereiwas

| set in granite; he caught sight Of it in
a mirror, halted and himself was
stunned by the transcendant mask
which covered his soul in revolt. The
work of the : surgeons was not far
short of miraculous; he couldn't upset
it, not by any effort of his will. The
eyes might flash, or lower, or chill
the other features were still calm and
strong in their splendid glory. Even
now, the face which he saw reflected
in the mirror was one to convert the
most hurried of all passing strangers
to new, if uniformed, assurance in
the brotherhood of man.
"You dirty blackguard said Hill
lard, showing his teeth. He went
pensively back to the letter, studied it,
gazed at the floor.
But after ALL" he said, mo matter
what she or anybody else did to me
:. and if I can kill two birds with
one stone, and be what I've wanted to
be-all except this damnable way of
going about it. She acted as
though this Internal lying letter would
please her-that's not the point; it's a
quicker way to get at the doctor. -.
Well, 1t gets her a letter l never in
tended to write and Dutouts

the easier. I'll give her that.
Angela was going to have it, still.
+. So l was 'One of her dearest
friends was L? What's that worth to
Henry Hilliard, bringing back the
news from the front?" He shifted
scornfully. "Ten thousand dollars-I
hope. And the doctor'n make twenty
out of it. ;. Cad! that's turning the
other cheek with vengeance
Hanged If L don't almost wish he'd
lose his rotten money! But that can't
be helped-I'll get some satisfaction
somehow"
He reread the unfinished note, fold
ed it, creased it heavily for versimili-
tude, and gave it the final examina-
ton.
Business :. is business" he said,
rusing. 'That was a pretty sporty
thing for me to do -. to tell her
there was letter. Bit of chance,
TOO. And after smashing our engage
ment, she could stand there and tell
me r. oh, rubbish! So suppose we
say T.. fifteen thousand from the
doctor! But confound 1.-THE better
salesman l am, the more get out of
him, the more he makes! Whew!
Where's the satisfaction in that? ;"
His pupils had narrowed again, Civ
ing the lie to the sweetness of his
smiling mouth. Then the smile faded
and Hilliard was staring fixedly at the
document in his hands.

For Musical Beginners.

Builders of modern flats might well
take hint from a unique feature in
Buckland's hotel in Brook street, now
undergoing transformation to accom-.
modate the new Guards club. This
was a suite of "sound-proof" rooms
called the Handel SUITE" after the
composer, who lived and died In Brook
street, for the use of musically in
clined visitors. This admirable ar.
rangement enabled amateurs of such
distressing instruments in the hands
of the novice as the piccolo or the bag:

their fellow-guests.-London Times.

Ever and ever so much.

with a show of reluctance.

French army under the name of
Henry Hilliard, is disfgured by
shrapnel. The French surgeons

MORE LOCAL. AUTHORS
Miss Warner and Miss Porter Con-
 tribute To Current Magazines

The contributions of writers from this section of the state to current lit erature apparently grows and in- creases with each passing month. Miss Frances Lester Warner, daughter of Judge and Mrs E. N. Warner, and a member of the faculty of Wellesley College, is included among those writ ing for the December number of the Atlantic Monthly. Another of Miss Warmers delightful sketches, such as made her book of last year, "Endicott and l." one of the widely read works of the season, is the present article, entitled, "Love's Minor Frictions."
 Another story interesting locally is entitled "Who Was Rohinson?" in- cluded in the December issue of Serib- ner's and written by Miss Agnes Por- ter, daughter of Mrs. John Addison Porter of Pomfret.
 An excellent sale IS reported for Brentano's publication of "The Cross of Ares" by Lawrence Perkins, and for Alchemy" by Robert Hillyer, with notable illustrations by Miss Bea- trice Stevens of Pomfret. Both of these books are on sale locally and the latter makes an especially attractive Christmas gift Miss Stevens work in the illustration of this symphonic poem has received the highest praise by book reviewers and art critics the country.
