He gave Elise presents, many of them
costly and rare. Each morning her
table was heaped with flowers. and
bedded among them was his mono
grammed card.
He took her to dinner once, before
her show, and made love to her
across the table, driving her to the
theater in his car, and trying to kiss
her as they went.
She resisted him and prevented
him, and he made a joke of 1t. Yet
there was an ardor in his eyes which
frightened her.
But now she had acquired the habit
of playing on the feelings of men
and in Felice she saw a fit subject
for her endeavors. For Felice was
obviously not sincere except in his
passionate desire for her.
So Elise, confident in her powers
found in Felice a new toy, led him
on, pulled the strings while he
danced, and watched him with a blase
amusement. And Felice spent his
money and his time and told himself
that In the end he would win her.
Yet, had hint of what the future
held for her, and Felice and Ahmed
been told, Elise would have banished
them both from her sight, affrighted;
for into the hands of these two men
was placed the task of smashing that
wave of triumph on which she rode,
and bringing her down on her knees
to the cold, pitiless stones Of grim

NEW YORK.-There's one nice
thing about New York. No one
cares hoot about you. It's as i'm
personal as a prairie. People who

This morning an old man walked
down Madison avenue. clad in an

His eyes were too bright and blue

The Eternal Hunger.

Ahmed worried Elise. He still came
to see her. but now he was silent.
He was genuinely in love and In her
quiet moments the knowledge brought
her to her knees.
For she remembered Kendrick. who
had carried all her hopes. who still
had her love.

met those two men whose ad-

that first night when she danced
and brought Paris worshiping.
They were introduced by a wealthy
Frenchman at one of her informal
dinners. One was Felice Donatelli,
an Italian from Milan, wealthy, of
ancient lineage, dark and swarthy,
handsome. The other was from the
East-Elise never knew his real ma
tionality, except that he was appar-
entity great man in his own rbun-
try--and his name was Aim i ell
fezeed, whom everybody called All

ing sands and horsemanship.
Like the rest of these men, he loved
her. 1t was Ahmed who first de-
