and wiring useless hands
A little before ten an inexplicable
change In the texture OF her emotions
made her aware that the peak of her
transports had been reached and
passed. OF sudden she found herself
more calm, not with the calm of mis-
givlngs set at rest, rather with that of
courage dauntlessly addressing itself
TO forlorn hope.
Intuition OWNED the explanation: In
that strange, deep sympathy which
made them one, her mental and emo
tional processes faithfully reflected
Leonora's; what agonies of doubts and
fears she had suffered tonight were
but replicas of those which LeonOra
had suffered. But now the time of
waiting was no more: Leonora had left
her hiding place and, committing her
self bravely to her dark adventure,
had found relief In action.

~. THE STREET.

She had neither raincoat nor UNI
brella; demoniac squalls hailed such
defenseless prey, and gusts Of pelt.
Ing drops stung the bare flesh OF her
face like birdshot. Long before she
managed to weather the corner her
thin cloak was soaked through and so
was all beneath II, her shoes were
squelching, her sodden skirts, harried
by the wind, were cilnglng tenaciously
to her legs, making progress incredibly
difficult. Yet she did not mind, but
found kind OF savage delight In bat
Ting with the elements, gaining ground
against their malicious will. Following
long confinement to that room of UNI
speakable boredom there was compen-
sation and TO spare In this false sense
OF freedom. In the mere fact that she
was at last at large, enough TO render
her Indifferent to damaged clothing as
we'll as TO the clammy discomfort with
which II plastered her chilled body.
She leaned her slim young body
against the wind and gladly fought II
for every breath and step, she relished
keenly the wet sweetness OF the air,
the gurgle Of rushing cutters, the lilli-
putian drumfire Of the rain, the motley
cheer OF weeping windows. But for
these last one might pardonably have
taken the Street for part of some
drowned city peopled by gray ghostly
shapes, figures glimpsed darkly
through sweeping waves of rain as
they scurrled from curb to curb. lum-
bered down the wind or, like Leonora,
plodded doggedly against its bowling
opposition. But few such were visible
al any time; humanity braved the ele-
ments that night solely under the lash
of elemental appetites, such as the ne
cesslty OF beer, and then made its ex-
cursion as brief as might be- Even the
police Rugged shelter.
A night OF terror she thought, with
a SILVER as much OF dread as OF cold,
pausing in the lee of corner to re-
gain her breath before renewing con-
test with the storm; a night when any
thing might happen
Resolutely she put that thought be-
hind her; she did not dare to be afraid.
And lest she he tempted again to think
and falter, she spurred herself pitlless-
ly on once more.
At length she turned aside into a
sullen street, lily lighted, wholly desc
late In all its visible length save for
the shining welcome OF saloon windows
on the ground floor of dilapldated
dwelling in the middle Of the street:
beacons marking the end OF the first
stage OF her journey.
