VII. SURRENDER.

Out of that blank void grew hight
and shade in nebulous swirl of form
less patches. Only by slow degrees
did it subside. 1t seemed long before
one dared open eyes again. The first
thing recognized was the concerned
dark face of Mario :.
She was in one of the big leather
chairs. Mario knelt with an arm round
her shoulders, lifting them forward a
trif1e that she might drink with more
ease from the glass of dark red wine
which he was offering her
Drink before you try TO talk" His
tone was tenderly imperative. With
an insistence as gentle he pressed the
glass to her lips. She drank, CRATE,
fully draining the glass.
Excellent" Mario let her head
back to the cushion, rose, put the glass
aside, returned. You feel better,
stronger, eh?"
She nodded, but her smile was still
bewildered.
what happened. Mario? I felt SO
funny, all of sudden, just when the
telephone began to ring: and then
I don't seem TO remember"
Don't you know you fainted?"
"Fainted, :" She started indignant
ly. But I never in my life! Why
should l faint? I'm all right"
In proof of this assertion she sank
weakly back.

vi. RECALLED

Somewhere tiny bell began to ring.
At first no more than ghoStly echo in
the dimensionless and silent vast which
lay between intelligence and body, that
shrill small voice gained strength of
its very perseverance, became a thin
thread of importunate sound, calling,
calling without pause or pity, till it
fairly ground it's character into that
indefinitely dissociate mentality; a
telephone was ringing.
The body resting on the bed in that
darkened chamber stirred uneasily

''It is no fault of yours, dear, if l

came to me by chance"

He shook his head. She flung angrily
away, then swung back, her counte-
nance ablaze. "Do you think I'd go
away with you if you did that-marry

1essly. The somnambuliSt started up
on an elbow, made as if to rise, sank
back again with a sigh of relief when
the ringing was suddenly interrupted.
She lay with open eyes, unwinking
in a confusion of divided conscious
ness aware of the snug darkness of
that room so intimately her own, of
the rain clashing outside the window,
of the wan light streaming in from
the street, of the blank, moonlike face
of the little clock upon the dressing
table; and at the same time living in
tensely in that distant place where
two wills were contending, striving
each to impose upon the other it's
conception of what was right, fair,
just, and inevitable.
1t was as if her mind were a photo
graphic plate upon which two scenes
had been developed: one wherein her
common self of everyday was resting
securely at home, one in which that
wild other self of her dreams dis
puted hotIy with the man she loved,
in surroundings strange to both selves
till that hour.
OF the two scenes, the stranger was
the stronger; all her interest was CEN
tered therein, and all other things
were negligible beside the issue of that
struggle, since that issue must be

tude) nothing less than life or death,
life with love or death with shame.
And she was racked with the i'm
perative need of making Leonora un-
derstand that Mario was right that
no good could come of standing out
against him, that nothing but good
could come Of yielding to his insist
ence, the fruit of his great love and
greater wisdom. Percipience of her
bodily environment was waning swift
ly: with all her strength she was will

The telephone began again to glib

In bitter resentment she understood

MARIO, NOT RED.

Synopsis.-Vaguely conscious of
double personality, but without any
idea of it's meaning, the girl Leo
nora makes her accustomed way
into the Street Of Strange Faces
in the underworld of New York.
Mario joins her. Greatly in love
and seeing the fine qualities which
the girl really possesses, Mario
seeks to turn her from the path
or inevitable destruction. She prom
ises to marry him At Ristori's
cafe, gathering place of criminals,
Leonora meets her partner, Red
Carnehan, and his associates, and
IS accused of hetraying a fellow
criminal to the police. Police crash
into the room and two are killed
by Carnehan- Leonora and the rest
escape. In her studio, Priscilla
Maine, wealthy artist, awakes from
troubled sleep with a distinct feel
ing Of having her life linked with
Leonora's. Priscilla has painted a
picture OF herself in fancy dress
gipsy-which has a strange effect
on her. Unnerved, and fearful that
her mind Is affected. Priscilla calls

He is stunned to find that her
dream story Of the police fight is
confirmed by the newspapers. Pris-

of her mother, who died when she

makes him promise not to go TO

In sleep-waking. the girl reused with
measured movements that cost her In

of the bed, drew the telephone to her.

the same level accents, speaking
slowly, as if with difficulty finding
words: II am quite all right

Without waiting for his reply, she
hung up the receiver replaced the tele-
phone on the bedside stand, sighed,
and again stretched out upon the bed.
Immediately deep sleep enfolded
her senses like warm cloud of dark
ness, and her soul Jared forth once
more on its far quest.

Although kings were responsible for
the creation of tapestries. it was in
the monasteries they were preserved.
for here were often received as gifts
many valuable examples. As the
monks were interested In early arts
and crafts, it followed that many Of
the subjects chosen for the tapestries
were of a religious character. The
statement that many of these tapes
tries are worth their weight In gold
is no fable. One fifteenth century ex-
ample has a value of $4,000, but it
weighs only six and one-half pounds.
