He took cigarette from the box
at his elbow and lit it from the

was conveniently within his reach.
The box was never empty, the

as he looked down at the face of
Yo-San.
She was not Chinese; in sober
fact, she was Irish, but he had
called her Yo-San because her
eyes were a wonderful velvet
brown and slanted a little when
she smiled.
The sheer, magnificent passion
of the girl had all but swept him
off his feet. The affair had been
tnmultuous, great rising flood of
emotion. She belonged to the age
old type of women for whom men

women in whose hands men are

Sir, I would rather have risked my life than miss one gesture of those white hands or the least utterance of She was not such one that man would ask of her many times day: Do you love me more? Will you ever love me less? No, it was sufficient to be in her presence and rejoice without question.
 "You see how I had blinded myself? But one thing I could not hide from my knowl- edge, which was that Marie was restless, uneasy as a migratory bird when the time approaches for the long flight south.
 During our first summer we had house in the mountains of Vermont-a sufficient distance from New Orleans, you will say, but not enough for Marie. It was not that she wished to go in any one direction. It was only that she loved travel for its own sake. So it ended with our taking passage for Europe, and we landed at Havre in the early autumn.
 "After that surrendered myself to the fances of Marie, and it was she who chose our route. We went to Paris first, of course, and I would gladly have spent the rest of my life in that delightful place, but Marie would not finger long. So we started again, and this time went west and south toward Bordeaux. One day, as we drove in carriage through the outskirts of vil- lage, we passed tavern of extreme age.

 s'The days went slowly, slowly. They dragged as your feet do in a nightmare when you flee from some nameless terror. So 1t was with me, and even on the morn ing of the wedding I was cold with dread of something to come. Yet all went smoothly. Half New Orleans was there, and been gayer wedding.
 "Yes, it was very gay; but as for the happiness-well, that was different. Even when she stood beside me at the alter and spoke her vows-even then, sir, her glance went past me. When I turned with her from the priest I half expected to look into those unbearably bright eyes of James Baron.
 "He was not there and that evening we started north on our honeymoon.
