Continued from last weekly


end of the World war, with the rank
pr major, Peter DeWolfe, young Amer
lean of wealth and family, Is urged by
Benham, to visit the Benham home and
meet the E~nglishman's mother and sis-
ter, and, incidentally, Brena Seleoss,
young woman about whom there Is an
air of mystery.
CHAPTER II. - Muriel Benham,
with Peter, but he is interested only
in the mysterious Brena S~elcoss, of
whom he has had only a glimpse.
Muriel rye him to forget her, warn
ing him that if she (Brena) should like
him he is in danger of vanishing
like the others"
CHAPTER III.-At his London hotel
Peter gets a message from Brena, ask:
Ing him to meet her. He does so, ana
the meeting results in the formation
Of a strong bond of friendship.
CHAPTER. IY.-After a few days
eompanionship the feeling between Pc
ter apd Brena ripens into love. He
asks her to marry him, and she CON
fesses that she is married and that her
husband has vanished"
CHAPTER V:-Brena's life story. is
out Of the ordinary. Daughter OF o
childhood and youth had been a strange
one. Her father, learned but imprac-
teal, had been forced to leave his ma
tive land because of revolutionary af-
fliations, and his death, following
quickly upon that of his wife, leaves
Brena practically penniless, at Dallas,
Texas. She secures work, and at her
boarding place meets Jim Hennepin.
He falls In love with her, and in her
loneliness she becomes in a manner
attached to him. Jim tells her he has
had a cali and is going away. He
urges her to meet him in st. Louis.
Brena goes to that city.
CHAPTER vL-Brena returns to
Dallas alone. Compton Parmalee, Hen
nepin's employer, middle-aged and
tells Brena Hennepin's intentions to-
ward her were dishonorable, which she
had suspected.
CHAPTER VII.=Some months later
Parmalee makes Brena an offer of mar
riage, admitting that he seeks only her
companionship, and promising her free
dom. After reflection, she accepts the
offer. They are married. At the rail-
road station, Immediately following the
ceremony, Parmalee is seized with ap-
parently uncomfortable fear. In ex-
PLANTATION he accuses Brena of being in
some way the cause of his feeling.
CHAPTER VIII.-On their wedding
journey Brena shows her husband a
scrap of paper Hennepin had given her.
On 1t is a figure witch Parmalee tells
her is the "Kuk-ul-ran," symbol of the J
Mayas. He appears perturbed. i
CHAPTER IX.-The Parmalees settle
down in New York. His nervousness
and fits Of fear increase, but he refuses
to tell Brena the cause of his uneasi-
ness. One night, in the darkness, he
fires q shot at his reflection in q pic
ture, telling Brena he thought it was a
burglar. She realizes he is the victim
of some secret, overwhelming fear.
CHAPTER X.-Unable to purchase a
painting Of Brena, by a famous artist,
Parmalee shows irritation amounting
almost to madness. She is convinced
now that he fears recognition either Of
her or himself, but can learn nothing
from him. He begins to drink heavily.
After q visit to his lawyer, Lanfrew,
Parmalee disappears. leaving no word
of explanation. That was three years
before Peter and Brena meet.

Peter Tried the Drawers of the Desk.
damp, but non were locked they were
filed with catalogues, pamphlets and
with clippings in envelopes arranged
in alphabetical order. A deep drawer
at the bottom contained several ac-
count books, many packages of can
celed bank checks bound with elastic
bands now dried and crumbling under
the touch. On the whole Peter, who
had Brena's permission to examine
anything he found, saw at first no in
terest in these private papers, unless
when time elapsed so that Parmalee
after another three years could be de-
clared legally dead, an executor might
find value in them as a record Of the
financial affairs of the vanished man.
No doubt his lawyer had seen many
of them already.
For the correspondence, however,
Peter had a greater interest. He
drew it toward him, united the string,
and having stopped to survey the room
again from the chair that once had
known for so many restless hours Of
panic and suffering, the warmth Of
Parmalee's living body, began to go
hastily over the letters there.
They were not Illuminating. There
were a few letters from stock brokers
as to investment changes, and a few
bills.
One Of these bills was the only piece
of matter that gave Peter the slightest
interest. 1t was from the famous old
John Henry Wycoff of Baltimore Of
whose death Peter had read by
chance, a man remembered only
among those who are book collectors,
a dealer whose black coat was al
ways covered with dandruff and who
left a third of a million dollars. This
bill was for two thousand eight hun
dred of these dollars-an account that
had probably been settled by Parm-
lees attorney, Lanfrew. 1t was
something of a bill for one book-a
book described as Kolb's privately re-
printed version of the Jesuit MSS. en-
titled Explorations of Father Carlos
in Mescalero Desert" shipped via
registered post on 18th inst. Below
this statement of account were the
words, "Please see letter" There
were two pin holes at the corner of
the paper as if Wycoff had attached
his letter to the bill.
Peter thought it would be interest
ing to see a book, so obscure, that was
worth nearly three thousand dollars.
He even wondered what plausible ex-
PLANTATION the old dealer had given.
His letter, however, was now missing.
Peter spoke aloud; he said: "Parm-
alec wanted that book badly" He
looked at the date of the bill. Il won
der if this was the zeal Of a collector
who has a passion for perfect COPIES"
The words defined a thought for
Peter. 1t would be interesting to see
whether 1.-THE Explorations of Father
Carlos in Mescalero Desert had dis
appeared with Parmalee when he had
answered his strange impulse to go to
some unnamed destination. Peter
turned toward the library shelves and
then with the thought that a search
among these volumes would be saved
If he found a catalogue he went again
to the desk. The copy Of the book was
two or three other books
handsomely bound volume Of large
pages whose thick paper rather than
he length of the text gave it bulk.

When she had finished writing at
the little antique desk, she threw the
red feather of the quill pen onto the
table.
Peter had been thinking.
"Once more" he said.
He took her into his arms, holding
her head close to his shoulder; he
turned her chin up with the palm of
his hand and pressed again his lips
upon hers. He could hear the watch
in his own pocket ticking away the
seconds. He could hear her heart beat
ing a slower rhythm.
"A long draught," he said at last. ~
could not go so thirsty-away."
you mustn't go"
"Brena, dear one" he said. There
is only one thing to do now and that
