the threshold of that door through
which she must pass to face her
Maker! To tess away that talent on
the use Of which there must come
the great accounting. To walk before
Him who watches all, and say. You
gave me this short life-why, do not
know. But because it was short ]
misused it. Had it been long, should
have preserved 1t carefully"
There was no reason in 1t. It was
cowardice.
To sell herself to-Brunel! She
knew she could never do 1t. Would
Marthe live on the money so earned
As La Phalene she would earn suff1-
cient and to spare for the guarantee
of Marthe's well-being.
Her thought turned to Kendrick,
peevishly, fretfully. Why had he
gone away and left her?
Quickly that mood passed. He had
neither deserted her nor purposely
raised her hopes. That had been all
her own doing. He had probably for
gotten her by this time.
Again her thoughts stopped dead
There seemed nothing else-nothing
at all.
She had not one friend to whom she
could turn. La Phalene OF the Thea
tire Joyeuse, La Phalene, whom Paris
was coming to worship, had nobody
at all-nobody. She had gained
wealth and fame, and lost friendship
and hope, and she found the exchange
against her.
She reached out her hand and
switched off the lights. Through the
window, across the roofs, the faint
primrose of the dawn was lifting
Fully dressed as she was, in all her
evening f1nery, showing tawdry now,
despite it's costliness, in the radiance
of the awakening day, she went side
ways on to the pillow and tried to
sleep.
Elise did not sleep we'll. But her
thoughts took q different turn. She
no longer pitied herself.
Brunei, Mordac, all Of their kind,
were jackals. Those men always
won. They always won-because the
girls never played the game properly.
That was an astounding thought,
and 1t brought Elise to sitting posi-
tion, very eager and quick thinking.
She had a partner of whose exis-
tence mono of the other players was
aware-death! Death was stacking
the pack for her, and the other play
ers did not know it.
She had but to fight for a little
while and then would come the great
retreat, with her forces still intact,

with the spoil Of tho battle in he
possession.

with the spoil Of tho battle in her
possession.
She was quivering now with ex-
citement. She could do 1t. She would
make La Phalene notorious. and tho
notoriety would be undeserved. She
had beaten Brunei that evening. She
could beat them all.
On the peril of the venture she did
not think. She was as yet not COM
pletely educated in the ways Of that
world she had entered. and, with a
great optimism born of her recent
encounter with Brunei. she conceived
the victory already hers.
They would load her with presents,
with jewels, with everything she de,
sired, and she would stand by and
watch them struggle for the reward
those presents were intended to buy.
1t would be justice-more than JUS
tice. She would repay hundred
wrongs, hundred persecutions-if
she were successful. That she would
be unsuccessful she did not think.
She made her decision. She would
do 1t.
Over the morning coffee she out
lined roughly her plans, and the first
thing she concentrated on was the
suite of rooms Brunei had obtained
for her behind the Champs Elysees
She pictured herself as another
Rejane, holding receptions of the
greatest, with herself as a queen. So
the suite must be furnished accord
ingly. There would be maids, two or
three Of them. And a male attendant.
She considered this, and had an

MOckery.

MOckery.
NHE had Knocked Brunel-and now
her fate Knocked her. Its mock
~ ing laughter rang in Elise's
ears as she walked up the
stairs to her apartment after leaving
Brunei in his car at the outer door.
She felt suddenly weighed down by
great WEAKNESS.
She opened the door and went in
side. going straight to her bedroom.
Her maid, who had waited up for her,
followed her, but she dismissed the
girl curtly.
She wanted to be alone. She was
no longer La Phalene, whom Brunei
and all those others desired, but just
little Elise of the Rue jacques, very
pitiful and tremulous, standing on the
edge of life with wondering eyes
looking ahead, afraid, wishing only
retirement and quiet.
This had to endure for months. For
months she had to play this game, to
keep these men at bay. 1t would be
like all eternity. She would welcome
the release which the promulgation of
DIR. Lapierre's sentence would bring.
She would welcome it!
She paused to consider this incred-
BILE fact. She would welcome death.
The world was at her feet, but she
looked over 1t, past 1t, to that death
which awaited her at the end Of the
so short road which seemed so long
In her sight.
Yet-there was a way in which the
road might be really short; way in
which she could find some specious
sort of happiness in travelling it.
Lolette - others had done those
things she fought against, and they
were not unhappy After all-what
mattered it? She was to die. There
was nobody on whom her shame
could recoil. She was to die Within
n year. So what mattered It?
She might find false Joy in living,
II only she lived fully.
1t would be easy-and 1t meant far
more money for Marthe-far more.
Her thoughts stopped as though a
giant hand had clutched them, stilling
them. silencing them, crushing them.
Money! More money for Marthe!
Money!
To sell herself-to sell herself-on

The Lizard

When you have landed and walked
a mile or so along the coast you begin
TO realize the nature of the charm of
this loyliest peninsula. 1t is color, in
a word; color which changes with the
changing sky, and is always striking,
always varied. The Lands End re-
gion is severe and somber from its
granite walls; not so the Lizard,
whose very variety persuades to de-
liberate methods. The purple, black
and orange of the rocks; the white,
pink and purple of the heather; it is
sacrilege to pass them by with hur-
ried glance. You gaze and gaze, vet
are not satisfied. An artist may steal
on his canvas an idea of the beauties
of Kynance cove; watched one doing
it; and confessed that the brush is
mightier than the pen.-Harry Chris

Value of Music
The cultivation of musical taste
in children is gradually being recog-
nized as a legitimate task of the
public school. The training given
by the Wof Point school will be
foundation for an enjoyment of GOOD
music throughout their lives. The best
way to drive out what is not worth
while is to create a liking for what
is good. A boy or girl who belongs
to a musical organization always
knows what to do with his spare
time. Most of our Honor Roll pupil:
