SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER Vaguely conscious of
double personality, but without any
idea OF its meaning, the girl, Leonora,
makes her accustomed way into the
Street of Strange Faces. Thoroughly
at home in the underworld of New
York, Leonora takes her course to her
appointed rendezvous. Greatly in love
and seeing the fine qualities which the
girl really possesses, Mario seeks to
turn her from the path Of inevitable
destruction, hut only in half mea-
sure accomplishes his purpose. At
Rjstori's cafe, gathering place of
criminals, Leonora meets her partner,
Red" Carnehan, and his associates,
and is accused of betraying fellow
criminal to the police. She savageiy
defends herself, and the ensuing ar
gument is interrupted by the appear
ance of Leo. Bielinsky, fleeing from the
police, one of whom he has killed.
Officers in pursuit crash into the room
and two are killed by Carnehan. Le-
onora and the rest escape.
CHAPTER n.-ln her studio Priscilla
Maine. wealthy artist, awakes from
troubled sleep with distinct feeling of
having her life linked with Leonora's.
Priscilla has painted a picture OF herself
In fancy dress-a gipsy-which seems to
have hypnotic effect on her. Unnerved.
and fearful that her mind Is affected.
Priscilla calls to her aid an old friend.
DR.. Philip Fosdick. Explaining, as far as
she can understand, her idea of her
double personality, Priscilla goes over the
situation with Fosdick. A student of the
higher emotions of the human mind Fos-
dick is deeply interested. and very much
in love with the girl, offers his aid in
solving the problem He is stunned when
she tells him the story in her mind, con-
firmed by the newspapers. Deeply
exhaustive study of Priscilla's case.
CHAPTER III.-Fosdick hears of a
dark chapter In the life of Priscilla's
father, and that mystery surrounded her
mother. He discovers that the portrait
Priscilla has painted has a strange effect
upon her. Auto-hypnosis. he calls it.
Priscilla is unable to take her thoughts
from Mario, whom she truly loves. al
though in the character of Leonora.
CHAPTER Iv.-Nothing that can in
any way clear up the strange situation
develops: the scene changes from Pris-
elias studio to a sordid room in mar
row street, where the girl Is awakened
by message from Red Carnehan, in
hiding demanding that she come to him

fear the danger which threatens Leonora

night-dress.

She tried to smile reassuringly for
Philips sake, but the attempt was not
altogether a success. Her memories
were too vivid, too moving, the pain
in her heart too new and keen. Her
lips quivered, her wide dazed eyes
once more brimmed with tears.

With low cry he crushed her to him.
The hard stubble OF his beard, I'M

sensitive skin. The reek of his breath
was sickening as he sought the fra

contented him. For II her flesh

nestled more closely into his embrace,
breathing broken terms of endear-

words. The movement brought her
nearer the table and the pistol, al

did not seem to notice. She debated
the next move, trying to scheme some
way to free a hand without exciting

And sobbing as though her heart

back to herself In the ordered and
luxurious security Of that quiet home
on Park avenue.
But II was some time before her be-
mussed wits were able to grasp The
singular circumstances that attended
this return, or this awakening--which-
ever II was. She had been recalled
too suddenly, too harshly. from that
weird realm of her life in dreams to
