climb, Brenas always remembered this
moment as that which marked the best
in him, as that which justified the bar
gain she had made to salvage that bet
ter part.
The contest between that better part
and the other-the well-known Comp
ton Parmalee with his ruthless daring
instinct for hazards and his almost
frantic interest In self-preservation--
was losing fight for Brena. She knew
as he knew, that her power lay in no
words but only In the threads of un-

life. Moments had come when she had
even believed that If she had won she
might have loved him. The things
worth saving in him were so rare She
would have thrown herself into a new
labor-the reclamation of his youth.
1t was not to be. Perhaps he him
self knew this as he felt slipping from
him the power to resist the habits of
mind of years of fierce avarice and the
passionate love of his own welfare
and his own life. He spoke no word
of this realization to Brena. After all,
the two were far apart, and the girl
only sensed, as one who hears low
murmur of a coming tempest, the men
ace which hung over them.
"There are times when you look at
me as if l were the bearer of some

"It is absurd" he told her, but his

SYNOPSIS

Out of uniform, at the end of
the World war, with the rank
of major, Peter DeWolfe, young
American of wealth and family,
is urged by an English comrade
in arms, Eversby Benham, to visit
the Benham home and meet the
Englishman's mother and sister,
and, incidentally, Brena Selcoss,
young woman about whom there
Is an air of mystery. Muriel Ben
ham, Eversbys sister, becomes
infatuated with Peter but he Is
interested only in the mysterious
Brena Selcoss, of whom he has
had only a glimpse. Muriel urges
him to forget her, warning him
that If she (Brena) should IKE
him he is in danger of vanish
ing--like the Others" Peter meets
Brena in a tea room. After rev
days companionship the feeling
between Peter and Brena ripens
into love. Brena confesses that
she is married and that her hus-
band has vanished. Brena's
life story is out of the ordinary.
Her father had been forced to
leave Greece because of revolu-
tionary Affiliations, and his death,
following quickly upon that OF
his wife, leaves Brena pennfless,
at Dallas, Texas. She secures
work, and meets Jim Hennepin.
He falls in love with her. He
urges her to meet him in st.
Louis Brena returns to Dallas
alone. Compton Parmalee, Hem
nepin's employer, middle-aged
and walthy, visits her, seeking
news of Jim, who has disap-
peared. Parmalee tells Brena
Hennepin's intentions toward her
were dishonorable, which she had
suspected Some months later
Parmalee makes Brena an offer
of marriage, admitting that he
seeks only her companionship,
and promising her freedom.

CHAPTER VII-Continued

Parmalee must have uttered an ex-
clamation of triumph; he alone knew
that she was wrong.
81 want to make my life of greater
service than it can be here. | am i'm
patient for a richer soil in which to
grow. l am willing to help you, too, If
can. 1t seems a little vague to me
how l can do this and yet, though l
am very young, l can live in you'll
can feel all that you feel and l can
see the better part of you"
He probably thrust glance at the
letter and looked up with that satanic
chin and upslanting eyes turned to-
ward the ceiling, He read on.
Therefore l assent to your plan as
you stated it. Always yours, Brena
Selcoss."
Parmalee, no doubt, said to himself
that this was no ordinary letter from
the hand of girl not older than
eighteen, the brevity and the calm of
1t were symbolized somewhat by the
direct and graceful handwriting which,
with breadth of line and easy flow,
none the less stood INTELLECTUALLY up
on the page.
They were married one evening at
eight o'clock in the same room in
which he had first seen her. Mrs.
Wilkie was glad to have her ''home"
as she called it the center of an I'M
scheduled social event which would
81 xxyhn in
the News the next morning. This was
the nearest she could come to the adj
venture of a duchess and she was
willing to have the furry in her life.
1t would be she who would give out
the interviews and explain grandly
over the telephone. They-the two
would be on their way to that fairy
world of money and travel and airs
and graces which had opened its arms
to this fated young beauty. The girl
would leave all her old life and it's
worn dresses and cheap shoes behind
all but one thing perhaps, and that
would be the picture of the Acropolis
in it's battered frame. The fortune
that had befallen Brena had been the
very reality of all of Mrs. Wilkes
lifelong dreams, but she considered
that for herself, there would be GER
tain crumbs fallen from the table. She
caught her breath she had almost lost
It when she learned from Parmalee
that he was giving the bride check
for one hundred thousand dollars.
Not fifteen minutes had elapsed after
the marriage before there came into
the lives of the two new element.
They had been whirled to the station
and were strolling up and down as
casually as if he were debating to a
young secretary the last memoranda of
a deal in cotton.
Little by little his conversation fell
away; he muttered few last absent
minded words and it was gone alto
gether. He walked on; she kept pace
with him. He walked on in silence.
Not until she heard a strange Whit
fling noise as sudden sucking in Of
breath of one who has tainted did she
turn.
You are as white as linen," she
said, trembling.
He wet his lips and looked at her
almost snarling.
What is this fate that follows
your" he asked
Eater"

why, what do you feel?" she
asked In frightened whisper.
Il feel fear" he said, his upper lip
fiuttering, "a horrible, unaccountable
terror"
