CATASTROPHE.
BY ZOE BEcKLEY.

Connie! Connie." Fred's cry re. sounded through the little fiat, though he knew at once it was deserted. Hol- low silence mocked him. made him sick with despair. Then he sprang for the telephone. but the girls cas- ual Mrs. Dale left in a taxi ten min utes ago--didn't leave no message" left him more desperate than before.
 Unreasoningly, Fred turned and rushed out to hunt. Which woy to turn? The railroad back 10 Homer vile seemed the likeliest ciew. Fred reached the huge terminal, scanning every face in the crowd for full three quarters of an hour, until the Over- land Limited, the one train direct to Comics old home, had left. No sign of her.
 Perhaps a hotel! Which? He pelt- ed to the one at which he and Con- nie in happy times weeks before had stayed. She was not there. He tried dozen others No Connie. The po- lice? Useless on so slight a clew- a girl with a bag. He would have to wait until she attempted something that would bring her to the notice of the police--Oh. God, see that she do herself no harm
 Fred dragged himself home, a physical. nervous, emotional wreck. Fully dressed, he flung himself on his bed and slept in utter exhaustion. In the morning the absence of Con- nie rushed in on him with a sense of world catastrophe. Connie had been away from him all night-where-I where?

 Connie, Oh my girl-"
 But Connie stood there, without her bag, quite cold unrepenting, even disapproving, regarding him steadily. Fred fell back, the reaction of his joy sending him into sort of chok- ing rage How could Connie stand | there unmoved before the haggard | man she had dragged through night | of hell-a man whose only thought | was to make a home and future for
