mans deep, hoarse voice, that

Giles were convulsed.
The black mask of the Master

Count, twisted half over upon his
back, lay his length on the church

cutlery of a dozen persons aghast
as sinners drawn from their graves
to face the general judgment.
For the first time since he had
struck the death blow Gervais
looked down. There were several
moments of silence in which every
thing seemed arrested.

This is trickery! l struck bias
phemer, minister of Satan. Sa-

His head was up. His voice
went out with a violence that was
like that of furious anger.

Staying of his own father"

across the black-clad body beneath
which a puddle, dark in the can

His strange, lightish eyes, of the
same shade of violet-gray as his
sons, stared upward, as the soul
looks from the pits of its betrayals

over them. His lower jaw slack

she could not utter sound. Fear
and the fascination of it, backed
by an absolute and dreadful faith,
had hypnotized her. She saw the
homage rendered by the kneelers
as one by one they approached the
Master, still upon their knees. 1t
was the traditional feudal worship
paid TO Satan by his neophytes-
nameless, devoid of the last shred
of shame. She continued to look,
though she craved to cover her
eyes with her hands. But it was
beyond her power to lift them.
The Master seemed to assume
unhuman proportions. Antlers
crowned him; his black 'rb was
metallic; his hands resembled long
eagle-talons; his cloak was the
darkness of half-opened bat
pinions. The confused, composite
Satanic conceptions of the wor-
shippers appeared as actual forms
to the fixed, half-clairvOyant gaze
of the witch's daughter. And she
was aware of a swarm of other
presences-in fact. the Pickering
vault of the crypt was over-crowd-
ed. All had paid homage save she
alone-she, the only one who stood
erect. And now the central figure
was turned squarely toward her
and stretched out his arm. She
must obey. He was the Master.
Her soul was in his hands, like
little bird. She moved, going
toward him like a sleep-walker, on
bare, quiet feet. There was no help
for her. either from Heaven or
from earth. Duly she was con-
scious of being clipped in the un-
broken circle of complete and
shaCowless despair.
Faces were lifted to her as she
moved-strange faces, with some
unhuman, avid stamp upon them.
Haggish women, neurotic youths
with the pulpy mouths of girls.
epileptic, distorted men-discards
from the human rubbish heaps of
the fostering little forest city.
As a person under torture sees
countenance through a quivering
mist. she recognized Violaine, the
goldsmith's girl. She was within
hand-reach of the Master now. She
heard her name, though she did
not know whether he had spoken
it aloud or not. Wildly she desired
to plead, to repudiate, to scream
with what strength she had. But
she was impotent. The Masters
long, nervous hands came upon her
with a peculiar suggestion of en-
ergy. In flash the splendid cloak
of blue and silver was ripped from
her, leaving her in her shift. Then
the linen, strongly clutched and
wrenched asunder, slid instantly
downward from the narrow Shout
ders. Like a sallow statue Sidonia
was half revealed. Her arms hung
straight at her sides. Her face was
like a young, haggard, death-mask,
with great, dreadful, fascinated
eyes. When the Master lifted her,
catching her beneath the knees and
shoulders, her head fell back as
though she had tainted, and the
long black hair of her swept nearly
to the pavement.
Ups1 the flat top of the altar
tomb the girl was laid at full
length. She resembled corpse,
though her eyes were open. The
mineral GOODNESS was like a bed of
smooth fire beneath her; her spirit
WINGED violently, but not her flesh.
Lying so, unable to turn hef head
as she was unable to lift her hand,
she could see nothing save the
painted wooden goat-mask that
out-thrust itself above her. played
over by the broken freight.
