In here, you didn't use your curtainI
You left the light on?"
She did not answer beyond stare
from CLASSY eyes. Her face was white,
her lips straight purple line. Her
shoulders were rigid, but beneath them
her body was twisting and turning as
though in a desperate effort to tear
itself away from the sentient seat of

Into his voice had already come the
calm Of a man accustomed to the face
of danger. "Tm going to leave you
for a moment" he continued. "When
I come I'll take the pain away"
He stepped toward the barred door
and tried to open 1t. So intent was he
on getting to his room that he glanced
at the cord and saw only that 1t was
hindering him. He drew out his knife,
cut the bar free and hurried on. The
three minutes he was gone seemed an
eternity to Andrea. When he came
back he carried in one hand a medl-
cine case and In the other a hypo-
dermic syringe already filed. He set
the case down carefully, grasped and

CHAPTER TX. SSalS

Scarcely had she finished when a
sudden languor seized her. She knew
that she ought to battle and dress
quickly. for Msungo would be keen
for his breakfast after his "whlte"
night. Why did all Lstins call sleep
less night "white," anyway Her
brows puckered over that problem and
1t seemed as though she must puzzle
1t out before she did anything else.
She crept into her cot to attend to 1t.
A cold wave swept over her body and
left 1t frozen; pain stabbed into her
side.
The pain was like a knife, red-hot
II terrified her. In an instant her
tongue was parched. her eyes were
burning. So suddenly had sickness
como upon her that even In the face
of its clamoring presence, her mind
declared It incredible. Surely it would
pass swiftly as 1t had come. She
clenched her teeth and waited. There
was a look In her face as though she
listened.
The pain ceased. When It came
back again Ii was no longer a knife
but the raving fangs Of wolf tearing
their way toward the vitals of her
body. She tried to clench her teeth,
to keep silence until the spasm passed
but she could not hold out. "White
Man I" she moaned and then, realizing
that she must make him hear now or
never, she gathered all her strength
and screamed.
She heard quick steps coming from
the craal, a laundering on her door
and then his voice, @Am / to come inf"
She tried to cry out again and could
not; tears poured down her cheeks.
But the white man did not wait; an
other moment and he was standing
over her twisted body. She looked up.
The stricken look In her frightened
eyes was as nothing to the sudden
terror that had come into his own. he
sank TO his knees. aYou are Hlf" he
breathed.
He passed his cool hand across her
forehead. held his fingers to the pulse
In her throat, grasped her wrists and

CHAPTER vlIl.-continued.

She decided to cry little more and
found she couldn't. Tears had with
drawn before an Intellectual rage. Her
face hardened. Well, If she couldn't
cry, something must happen; If not on
its own, then 1t must be forced. She
wondered what the white man was
doing. Perhaps he was sound asleep
perhaps he was even snorlngl What
did she know about this man, anyway
Was he human? Had he live points of
contact or was he an lmpalpable crea-
tIon of her sick brain2 Perhaps she
wasn't here at ALL If she screamed,

or Her eyes, following the sequence
of her thoughts, fell upon the barred
door.
She arose, put on her slippers and
her bathrobe, walked deliberately to
the door, grasped the bar with two
trembling hands and threw 1t up with
all her strength. The clang Of the far
away gong rang out above the din of
the droning rain. Following 1t instant
iy came the thud of falling chair.
The door, released, swung slowly open
with long-drawn creak of unoiled
hinges. Andrea was suddenly fright
ened.
Coming through the covered way
she could hear the swift crush Of hur-
rying steps. M'sungo, fully dressed.
shot into the center Of her room and
whirled. In his hands, held at the hip,
finger on trigger, was a vtllainous
sawed-off shotgun. Only his long train
ing to look twice before he fired saved
Andrea when his eyes brought him the
startling conviction that besides him.
self she was the only other living thing
In the room. She stared at him, wide
eyed and trembling. She saw his fig
ure, keyed to one sort of combat, relax
only to grow slowly tense again. He
turned, laid the shotgun aside and
came toward her with swift sure
strides. For an instant his eyes
wavered but as he drew nearer they
steadled to transflx and hold her
pinned against the wall.
She felt herself struggling as against
an unjust accusation. Under her
trembling hands, her heart beat with
great irregular throbs. A lump rose
In her throat and II seemed as though

barred Andrea's forearm, rubbed II with
alcohol and quickly gave her an in
lection. "Skip the next FIVE minutes"
he said. "Fasten your mind to five
minutes from now" She only moaned
to show that she heard him.
But even before the five minutes
were up she could feel peace coming
to her body slowly and from far away,
as though it feared to pounce upon her
suddenly. When 1t settled upon her 1t
brought with 1t a drowsy and ineifable
relief. Her eyes could move once more
In their sockets. They followed the
white man as he made his rapid prep
aration for a long siege. She heard
him call Bathtub and issue string
of orders; then he brought a chair
close to the cot and sat down.

against II, you and !. / can't say just
what 1t is. 1t may be ptomaine, you
may have been sickening for appen-
dic.tis, but I'm almost afraid 1t isn't
either of those. If it's fever, 1t is per-
nicious." Her eyes stared at him,
hung upon his face.
He took one Of her hands In his.
'Tm breaking all the rules by fright

that you and I are brothers in one

I'll 90 back on God. for / trust you as

Man." she said softly. you're like
that-a fighter-and it's sweet Of you
to ring me In. No d. fever can

up and cried.

promptly, "cry now. IT can't do you a

Il was even as he said. All day and
all night the battle ragged. and there
were moments when Andres forgot
that she was a fighter. begged with
gasping. heartrending means for opium
aud relief. and when he refused, her
tongue turned bitter, sharp as a ser
penis tooth. Each word she said was

"HOw old are you. White ManY she

"How old are you, White Mani" she
asked.
"Thirty-four, normally" he an
swered instantly, and went on with his
absorbing reading almost without a
break.
Andrea fell silent, even her thoughts
stopped talking. Gradually the flow
Ing voice possessed her, picked her up
lightly, bore her away and away. In
other words, she slept as children
sleep when put to bed in the good old
way.
When she awoke, hours later, the
room was heavy with the aerid smell
Of lanterns burned too low, but to
make up for that, the rain had ceased
and sunlight poured in through the
open door. M'sungo was sitting as he
had sat, reading as he had been read
Ing. The flow Of his voice was ex-
actly the same as though he himself
had been caught in a current that
WOULD not let MIN stop.
Andrea drew quivering breath.
She saw instinctively the workings Of
his mind. He wished her to awake
without awaklng-to come to the new
day with the selfsame smile In her
heart that had been there when she
slept. He called upon her to play the
game through and she decided to do
1t. She stretched her bare arms,
yawned, rubbed her eyes with doubled
fists, laughed and then threw out both
hands to him.
''Take me back" she said.
The book fell from his hands. he
turned and stared at her with the
hungry eyes Of man who sees for the
first time one of the rarest Of Gods
creatures-namely, woman whose
youth stands by her In the disheveled
morning, defies the ugly finger Of
gross slumber and proclaims her love
ly beyond the limits set by the wrin-
king seams of coarser and less
blessed fabrics. For moment his
gaze wavered as though before too
strong a light, then 1t steadied and his
face grew stern. He arose.
"Come on" he said.
She threw her arms about his neck /;
he picked her up, sarong and all, and
passed solemnly the length Of the COW
cred way. He could feel her face
pressed hard against his shoulder and
her loosened hair was like a cloud
beneath his chin. Her arms chung to
him tightly, her body trembled, her
syes twinkled and her lips murmured
audibly, Remember, Andrea Pellor,
you're just kiddle."
He dropped her on her cot with a
thud that surprised the six straddllng
legs of that sturdy campaigner into
stringent protest and incidentally
startled one young lady.
"There you are, you little devil" he
growled and strobe from the room
with the satisfied air of a dog who has
just carried home eight pounds of
prime roast intact.
Andrea watched him go, then she
arose, took the cord from her bath
robe and advanced upon the door to
the covered way. She closed 1t, let
down the bar and with the cord bound
it In place. She tied knot after hard
knot, and as she drew each one of
them tight she said, "Just to give you
time to think twice, Andrea Pellor."

nunciation OF their party by Sena-
tor Robert NJ. La Toilette, of Wis

On the whole. they are inclined
to treat the Wisconsin Senator's
pronouncement with good humored
tolerance, and the few who con-
sented to discuss the proposed
movement seriously today professed
to see IN 1t nothing but gain for
the cause of democracy. They pre-
dict that any strength Senator La
