AsHTORETH A6HE, sitting on deck
with her hance. the rich and famous
HOLLIS HART, receives q wireless from
MONTY ENGLISH, her boy friend from
Boston.
Ashtoreth has Just gotten herself en-
gagged to Hollis, who Is. without doubt,
the most eligible bachelor in America.
Before they met at Dominica Ia little
island IN the West IndiesD Ashtoreth
had worked for Mr.. Hart in his Boston
o Gice. Taxing dictation. and poudtng
a typewriter. A rather humble. but ex-
ceedinRly beautiful young stenographer.
She was cruising through the indies,
following a severe illness, when, quite
By accident. she met Mr.. Hart again.
From that moment, Ashtoreth made the
most Of her opportunities.
Hollis made love, and thrilled her 70

to make his1 actually propose. For
whole day. and half a night, they were
alone in a little house on the mountain,
while the storm ragged and hoWled.
They are on their way home now, and
planning TO be married in Boston
Sometimes Ashtoreth thinks OF SADIE
NORTON a friend Of her childhood,
who tried TO blackmsil Mr.. Hart, and
did, actually, succeed IN separating him
from Sii, 900. She thinks, too. Of
MAIZE, her dear commonplace mother.
And OF MONTY ENGLISH. who used 70
be her sweetheart.
But Ashtoreth can usually dismiss un-
pleasant memories. She IS planning her
honeymoon with Hollis, when cabin
boy delivers a wireless.

that Crystal Hathaway had tried

And the deduction would have
been correct. Crystal bathed hur-

She almost fell against the

Tt would be easy AL she had
to do was to close her eyes and
think of Pablo, who was lost to
her forever. But as the gas rose
from the stove and crawled toward
her through the close air, poisoning
it, she found she could not think
of Pablo.
For a sudden thought crashed
through her already stupefed brain:
where was she going? Where?
Where? In ten minutes. fifteen,

How could there be a world in
which no Crystal Hathaway existed?
Why, she was the only thing in the
universe of which she was absolutely
surel She was the world II she
left the gas on. a world would be
wiped out
Crystal never knew how she
