CHAPTER ~.

She had always been. when he last
saw her, the outstanding beauty of
Syracuse, but he was astounded TO be-
hold what the interval of two years
had done for her She had taken up
on herself new maturity; her figure
exceptionally graceful, was still slen-
der; but suggestive of a more woman
ly, more inclusive charm.
He was being presented to her |
he. who had kissed her a thousand
times. was undergoing the ritual of
presentation land she was smiling at
him with those grave, sweet eyes of
hers, and calling him by his adopted
namel His mask of protection had
never seemed so slight. so insufficient;
the fragrance of her, and the Illusion
caused by this, threatened his bal
ance and set his nerves on edge; for
tunately, the routine of the conven-
lions interviewed to save him from his
inartlculateness. For one thing, there
was the rite of introduction to Arm
strong, and after that there was
dash of promiscuous conversation,
with not little weather philosophy in
1t. Then came the memorable hush
caused by the presence of stranger
whose fads and fancies are still mat
ter of conjecture, and out of that hush,
a question, and billiard was suddenly
visited by a species of self-hypnosis.
If he had been moved at all by the
sight Of Angela, whom he had loved
as younger sister. he was, by COM
parison. shaken as by a whirlwind by
the sight of Carol Durant, whom he
had loved as woman. Not on the
train, not at the hotel, not even when
he witnessed Angela's severe grief,
had he remotely conceived that this
instant would be so difficult to sur
mount What in New York had seem
ed regeneration. and earlier on this
same evening had appeared very
dubious deception, was rapidly taking
upon itself the color of irremediable
wrong. Els imagination was aroused
beyond belief; and as he stared in
dumb suspense at Carol, recalling a
thousand episodes and thousand
privileges of the long ago, he was
preyed upon by slow-stealing grim
ness Of despair which left him sick
with misery.
She was waiting for an answer
and the others were waiting too. and
watching him. He felt that guilt was
stamped on his every feature &.

Trolley Car Hits Auto.
An accident happened at Shore Road
and Illinois at 4 o'clock last
Monday afternoon, when a south
bound trolley car collided with a Ford
runabout driven by a representative
of the Fairbanks Company, who had
on the rear of the machine about 1900
pounds of equipment demonstrating
their Universal Lighting Plant.
Resulting from the impact both Ford
rear wheels were snapped off at the
hub. One fender was smashed and
other parts of the car were damaged.
The driver escaped injury. When the
trolley car was quite a distance away
it is said the driver of the Ford ma
chine stalled his engine while turning,
when crosswise of the trolley track.
Before he could right his machine the
Fairbanks agent declared the trolley
ran him down without reason, had the
motorman had the trolley car under
control. Instead the chauffeur alleged
the trolley did not slacken speed, but
hit him with force while the motor
man screamed: Look Out" The ope-
rator OF the motor car said he believ-
ed either the trolley motorman was
green" or his brakes refused to work.
On the other hand the trolley crew
claims the accident was due to the
fault of Mcintyre, driver of the Ford,
in not giving himself time to turn in
front of the trolley. The Ford car, an
insured machine, We towed to Mason's
