CHAPTER XXX.

ONLY Craig's lips twitched, and
~ little cord in his neck. Sybil
thought of sketch she had seen
of foreign dictator, with a leonine
head. People called him the Tragic
Man of Destiny.
Now Craig looked like that-a
composite of tragedy. She saw the
agony in his eyes, and could have
cried aloud.
Her own were full of fear-wild,
hunted fear. And so they sat
reading one another's misery, in
dreadful silence.
She reached and touched his
hand. 1t lay on the tablecloth, mo-
tionless. And when she fondled it,
it felt like ice.
He opened his mouth to speak
'FWhy. ."
Words came hard. He seemed
to wrench them out, with effort.
''Why didn't you tell NE

81 couldn't" she told him.

A dull red suffused the grayness
of Craig's face, and an obsequious
aaiter, lowering near, stared in
Artled surprise.
"Oh, please" Sybil interrupted
herself nervous1y. Send that man
away. He's listening to every word

Their Craig shifted his dreadful,
penetrating gaze from her pale face
and motioned abstractedly.
Bring Miss Thorne breast of

She demonstrated feebly, shaking
her head. Tears were in her eyes
nd a little hysterical laugh on her
lips.

IT didn't know him in JULY hadn't

Valerie shrugged her shoulders
eloquently.
"Ill drive you downtown, Mother"
she offered. "And you can take a
taxi to Mr.. Crandon's."
TIME afternoon sun was Slanting
Il across the crimson rug in Mr..
Crandon's consultation room. In
the alcove beyond a maid was busy
ing herself with tea cups and a
delft cracker jar.
There were spicy carnations in a
blue vase and a cracking fire, and
kettle htmming on the crane.
Mr.. Crandon had learned that a
confidential atmosphere is a de-
cided aid to psyche. He drew a
Bosto rocker a little nearer the
blaze, and helped Mrs. Thorne off
with her moleskin wrap.
''I must have your help" Mrs.
Thorne said, settling turkey red

Sybil. She's going to have baby"
Nothing ever surprised Mr.. Gran
don. He pressed his finger tips to-
gether, and shifted his mild blue
gaze to near-sighted contemplation
of hangnail.
IT want you to tell me what line
to take with her." continued Mrs.
Thorne.
And then from the beginning,
she told the story as best she
could. She told about John Law
renee, and what difficult girl Sybil
was at 18.
She reviewed a few earlier affairs,
and told what she knew of some
later ones. She led tactfully up to
Craig Newhall. =
It think" she hazarded, that
there was a sort of understanding
between Craig and Sybil, but of
course I can't be sure. You see,
Sybil never tells her mother any
thing"
Mrs. Throne pressed a black
bordered handkerchief to her eyes.
Nov when was girl"
Eyes, yes" soothed Mr.. Crandon
gently, and, patting her hand, led
her tactfully back to the subject in

Crandon, has passion always been

Crandon without waiting for heI
to go on, that your daughters in
hibitory and repressive powers-you
see, my dear Mrs. Thorne-it is like
this. . . 1t would be better, per-
hapS, to consider her case from the
beginning. Let us, for a moment
consider her infancy. Do you, by
any chance, remember SYPHILIS first
lawless action?"
Mrs. Thorne pondered vaguely.
"She always was a defiant child,
she admitted. 81 remember how she
used to kick her little puff off at
night. And the way she threw her
bottle out of her crib. But. tell me,
Mr.. Crandon, you don't think in
hibitions-"S
"I certainly dol" acclaimed Mr.
Crandon.

OLD BELL RINGS AGAIN
Peals From Terre Haute Church At
ter Twenty Years Silence.

Peals From Terre Haute Church At
ter Twenty Years Silence.
BU United Press
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 81
After being silent twenty years the
old bell in Calvary Methodist Church
here once more is ringing out its call
to all who care to come and worship.
Back in the days of the California
gold rush in l849, a little frame
church was built on the corner of
Fifth and Elm SITS. Fol- thirty three
years the small wooden building and
its lone bell answered the needs of
the congregation.
About twenty years ago the
church officials decided the bell
should be quoted 1t was a discor-
dant note in the busy whirl of
downtown life. And from that time
until this week the bell had been
silent.
