Brainard tried to laugh pleasantly;

Go on, Radley!" urged his aunt
again.
The others laughed uneasily. A
restraint was upon them all now.
Brainard shrugged away some of his
irritation.

But Phyllis was watching him as
some one she hardly knew. A mo-
mentary return of the old Radley
could not efface the impression of the
challenging look. An aching sense
that he was changed indeed made her
unable to respond Then anger famed
up in her again; not at the fact that
he might have stumbled upon power,
but at the use of it which had first
occurred to him. Why had it occurred
to him? What sort was a man who
did not instinctively respect the privacy
of others?-not mere physical privacy,

He had reached out and takerf hold
of the thin arm, his fingers closing
around it with an insure grasp that
instantly conveyed to Phyllis the
thought in his mind. He had suspected
that here was something that he could
see and hear-but could not touch!
Something out of control!
But his hand did grasp the arm of
the figure in the doorway, and his
voice trailed off to nothing as he felt
the contact. And abruptly the other
flung out his own hand and caught at
the young mans neck. Brainard

and bent over the man in the chair,

The old Radley again! Even In the
excitement of the moment Phyllis was
sensitive to his tones. There had
always been a special flavor for her In
Radley's kindness. He was sympathy
itself-when he was sympathy at all.
But the man in the chair was re-
covering a little. He turned his head
again, and again he looked up INTO
Phyllis eyes.

painting breath.
Hes off his head, of course" said
John, glancing up at her. But who
wouldn't be? Look at his hands"
Phyllis looked. The hand nearest her
was long and clawlike, fieshless almost;
