OF DARKNESS AT DAWN"
THE SECOND LIFE OF NJ.
THE DEVIL" ETC.
No. ONE.

Brian Fortesque, wealthy, cynical.
twenty-eight. fled n night through
n blustery storm to his little hermi-
tage in the California Mountcins
which he had built of the city. Hith-
er he never brought friends; this was
a haven OF peace. OF reverslon 20
himself. 81 communion with the
books he loved.
Above the door Of the long, rude
house h hal put tins bold words
IF orte ~rutum.' He knew enough
about himself, this man man. to put
those words-'A Strong Shield'-
above his doorway and to live up to
their boastful pride.
The heavy door swung open at
his touch. He stepped over the
threshold and flung aside his heavy
cost. It was always his custom
when leaving the hermitage for
the city. to lay n fire which should
be ready for the touch of a match
and should set the whole Interior
cleaning in the rudy cheer.
But now-he could find no match.
He ransacked his pockets. frantlcally
searched out with his fingers every
nook about the mantle where box
or a stray match could be found.
Name OF the DEVIL Damnationr'
Before the echo OF his sonorous i'm
precautions had died. Fortesque start
ed violently. He stood strained and
staring into the darkness; listening
10 catch a repetition OF a sound that
had startled him.
Now It came again-a soft, nut.
trring breath, like tho sigh OF a
sleeper wakened from dreamy re-
pose. And upon the heels OF the
sigh came a gently questioning voice.
II hope you have a match? I
could find none"
4 woman-in this place. Fortes-
cue, suddenly remembered his over
coat and once more his exploring fin
gers searched-this time finding a
match he lit a candle and started
the fire. Then he turned and took
in the amazing sight which greeted
him.
Almost at his feet, upon the bear
robe outspread before his hearth was
seated a woman who gazed up at
him with eyes calm and serene. He
was amazed by tho perfect self pos
session Of that regard-more amaz-
ed by it, even. than by the beauty
or attire of this intruder. Yet both
her beauty and her attire were dis
tinctly out OF the ordinary.
Fortesque met her gaze in silence,
his eyes studying her in detail. And
she returned the look with one which
equally assured. equally calm In
its appraisal. Fortesque was some.
what staggered inwardly by this re
turn Of his own cool arrogance.
