 N + I only had a year to live I would
 map out my days in such a way
 as would best help humanity. I would make my corner of the world sweeter and brighter and make it more pleasant place to live.
 I would wake with the rising sun and work with glad smile, helping the little children to look at life in it's true light, help them to obtain knowledge not taught in schools and teaching these how to live truly. I would not cease from my labors un- til the day ended and then I would close my eyes in honest sleep and prepare for the coming day SO as to get in my proper. amount of noble work. Besides helping others in a material way would always be glad and cheerful, never gloomy, signing and melancholy but ready to greet my fellow man with a friendly nod or handshake. -~
 Thus with my work of teaching, with my good will and kindness and unselfishness to others and with clean life behind me and a true, strong heart with me I would face my last day without any fear and say with the apostle

1 of no double dealing. He was follow ing La Phalene, like Brunei. Which meant, that she was not go- ing to Monte Carlo with Brunei, after all.
 La Phalene was not yet caught. Mordac and Brunei were still hot on the trail, and now only they remained. Against Mordac, Brunei had no chance. Mordac would win-Mordac whom she loved. She felt that her life was altogether wrecked. She had cut herself off from Brunei and all that circle in which she had moved so brilliantly. Paris would know her no more. The only man for wtom she had ever cared was going away from her in the steps, of another woman. She sat. down on the edge of the bed and looked vacantly in front of her, while down her painted cheeks tears rolled. It was later that she remembered Mordac had mentioned the name of Kendrick. The memory reused her brain to action.
 Kendrick loved La Phalene and if La Phalene gave herself to any man down there in the south, it would be to the Riviera. He would follow her at Monte Carlo, then both Brunei and Mordac would find themselves faced by a rival against whom they would have no chance.
 She decided to see Kendrick. A word, she thought, would send him to theRiviera. He would follow her south. Lolette was confident of it.
 And she herself? She might add yet another stone to hte monument of her fame by going to London.
 It had seemed golden prospect in the heat of her rage against Brunei. It had been chance to show Brunei that he was not the only producer who recognized merit when he saw it. But now it held no allure for her. The last time she had seen London had been on January morning, as the Continental express dashed south to Folkestone. There had been the great panorama of dirty roof-tops and smoke ing chimneys, and above them clouds lowered, heavy with dampness, which drove in sheets before the wind.
 She shivered.
 Then suddenly she made the decision
 
 She would go to Monte Carlo. She would not stand by and watch Mordac slip out of her life.
 She would go. and at Once-but first she would see Kendrick. CHAPTER 53-THE LAST EVE.
 , MING -- ,s
 The apartment was clear. Elise was spending her last evening in Paris alone with the white-ciothed ghosts of her furniture.
 She went on the night train to Monte Carlo. Her affairs had been put in notes which she was carrying with in order, and, except for a large sum her, everything she possessed had been made over to Marthe, although Marthe did not yet know it.
 At her bank, to be opened at her death, was an envelope in which she had written the whole story of La pierre's sentence, and of her career as a dancer, of its temptations and its triumphs, it's .fleeting palpitant joys and it's abject misery and despair. Therewas no mention of Kendrick in the document.
 She had written him letter, to be posted at her death, telling him that shehad never forgotten him, and telling him why sent sent him away, after Ahmed was killed.
 Baba came into the room, handed her a card. On it was inscribed: "Mr. Thomas Kendrick." And under meath was written: Ritz Hotel, Paris"

 Life is short" but it would take some grave physicians ultima tum to stir my routine-stifled soul into ralization of it's truths. Al ways craving experience replete with thrills. yet having mighty few in my busy life, I can not imagine any thing more thrilling than to be told that in one year--12 months of fleet ing weeks and days-I must be ready for the Great Adventure. First, the deep-rooted instinct of the housekeep- CT would prevail. would feverish- ly attempt to finish all the tasks had planned over a stretch of time. With spiritual broom and dust cloth would try to set the habita- tion of my soul in spotless order. Then I would set myself to calm enjoyment of each remaining day. Travel? What need of guessing far off isles. when my eyes would soon behold the wide horizons of infinity? Study? An, but the wisdom of that other, vaster world would be mine to know. Pleasure? Why taste again it's passing sweetness and delights? Repent of my sins and frantically try to atone? No. I would leave my follies and mistakes where they have been all this time-at the feet of Him in whose sight we are all as little children, and whom He pitieth as such. Meeting once more the scattered members of my family? Why seek an earthly reunion when. in time, all of us will again be to- gether in the land of no shadows and no pain? Yes, it would be nap py-that final year of all. No GOV citing of things I could not have. No disappeintments. No regrets, except in. leaving, for a while, the few who mean so much to me.
