boot owl is no pet for either child
or adult, Alex Tysko, of Richn1on-
dale. treasurer Of Fell township,

BLACK OXEN:-:By Gertrude Anterior

J brary, SIR" said the footman.
Z Madame will be down in q mo-
ment."
7 A tete-a-tete by the fire! Worse
and worse. He had been fortified
by the thought of the butler and
footnaan. An hour under their su.
percilious eyes would mean the
most iinpersonal kind Of small talk.
I But they'd hardly stand round thu
4 library.
However, the small table before
the blazing logs looked very cozy
and the imposing room was full
of mellow light. Two Gothic
chairs had been drawn to the table.
They, at least, looked uncomforS-
able enough to avert sentiment.
Not that he felt sentimental. He
was holding down something a
great deal stronger than senti-
Inent, but he flattered himself that
he looked as .saturnine as satan
himself as he warmed his back at
the fire. He hoped she had cold
in her head.
But she had not. As she entered,
dressed in white tea gown OF chif-
fon and lace, she looked like q
moonbeam, and as IL no mortal IN
disposition had ever brushed her
in passing. Instead OF her pearls
she wore a long thin. necklace Of
diamonds that seemed to front her
gown. She was smiling and grac-
ious and infinitely remote. The
effect was as cold and steadying
as his mornings icy shower.
He shook her hand firmly.

CHAPTER xvIn.

He awoke at noon. His first
impression was that a large black
bat was sitting on his brain. The
darkened. room seemed to con-
tain a visible presence Of disaster. j
He sprang out Of, bed and took
hot and cold shower; hobgoblina
fled, although he felt no ii1clina.

his breakfast and opened his halt

ton, to be- from Madame Eat
tiany.
He threw back the curtains,
settled himself in an armchair,
read HIS other letters deliberately.
and glanced at the headlines Of
the papers. before he carefully
slit the envelope that had seemed
to press his eyeballs. The time
had come for self-discipline, con.
sistently exercised. Moreover, he
was afraid Of It. What--why had
she written to him? Why hadn't
she telephoned? Was this a tardy
dismissal? His breath was short

place.
'4Dear Mr.. Clavering:
"I have been in Atlantic City
for few days getting rid of
cold. I hope you have not called.
VIII you dine with me tomorrow
night at half past eight? I shall
not ask any one else.
Sincerely.
MARIE ZATTIANY."
So her name was Marie. It
had struck him once or twice Js
humorous that he didn't know
thu first name Of the woman who
was demanding his every waking
thought. And she had been out
of town. and unaware that he had
deliberately avoided her. Had
taken for granted that he had
been polite enough to call-and
had left his cards at home.
Should he go? He'd have his
breakfast first and do his think
ing afterward.
He did ample justice to the break
fast, which was also lunch, read
his newspapers, cursed the print
tiers Of his own for two typographi-
cal errors he found in his column,
then called up her house. Feeling
as normal and unromautic as
man generally does when digesting
q meal and the news, he concluded
that to refuse her invitation, to at.
tempt to avoid her, in short. would
not only be futile, as he was bound
to respond to that magnet sooner
or later, but would be a further
confession OF cowardice. What.
ever his fate, he'd see it through.
He gave his acceptance to the
butler, went out and took a brisk
walk, returned and wrote his col
umn for the next day, then visic-
ed his club and talked with con.
genial souls until it was time to
dress for dinner. No more think
ing at present.
Nevertheless, he assembled her
steps at exactly half-past with
the blood pounding in his ears and
his heart acting like a schoolboy's
in his first attack Of calf love.
But he managed to compose him
self before the footnlan leisure,y
answered his ring. If there was
one point upon which he was prl-
marily determined 1t was to keep
his head. II he gave her a hint
that she had reduced him to a
state Of imbecility before his mo-
ment came-if 1t ever did!-his
chances would be done for--dished.
He looked more saturnine than
ever as he strobe into the hall.
