she could see, would be a strug-
gle. A war of conflicting emo
tons and ambitions. Once es-
tabished in the suite Madame
Hubert had offered her Juliet
would be in the position of a gen.
eral who camps on the battle
field.
O'Hara'S insulting manner had
not been directed exclusively at
Juliet. Even now with burning
eyes he glared at Won Guerdon
who stood before his desk.
Get out of here" he said
murderously, land stay out!"
Won Guerdon's imperturable
expression did not change.
Hubert was right-you've got
another attack coming on" he
said, his eyes keen upon the
others flushed countenance.
These recurrent sequels are the
worst of these damnable oriental
fevers. Hits you about every six
months, doesn't it?"
I'll be all right tomorrow or
next day." OHara said thickly,
Leave me alone"
At Home
"Oh, I'm going to leave you
alone albright. There's little or
nothing anyone can do for you.
Thank heaven, those things
aren't contagious in their after
effects. There is no known
serum effective"
Brandy and quinine is the
only thing that Slugs it," said
O'Hara.
And absolute rest" decreed
Won Guerdon. You can't burn
up any of your resistance by go
ing home tonight-We1l put you
to bed here right away. I'll
send around to your apartment
for some things and get that
brandy up here"
O'Hara lifted his brickish face.
"Stop talking-and get me that
brandy" he cried in a Sultry
voice. These attacks always
gave O'Hara an inward sense Of
degradation, and it CALLED him
to have Won Guerdon witness
his weakness. And leave me
alone, please"
Returning from the Ambas-
sador with her bags piled around
her in the cab, Juliet got a
glimpse, in the distance, of the
institute. Its tower, rising out
of the darkness, was cunningly
Illuminated with hidden light,
giving the effect of an exotic
cathedral spire. There it stood,
a queer sort of cathedral for
her hopes.
She truly felt at last her
worries were over.
There had been a pleasurable
excitement in knocking from
pillar to post, but adventure
had grown rusty. What she
wanted, and needed. was an
established peace, a security in
the world around. This the
institute seemed to offer.
Nothing so pious as a prayer
formed in her being, but she
was swept by a tide of nameless
gratitude.
It was remarkable how
quickly the institute had be-
come homelike. Friendly old
Fritz. the janitor, responded to
the night bell and opened the
iron grille doors for her. The
whole place was dimly lit with
soft bulb here and there.
Thank you so much" Jul
liet said, when he had deposited
her bags inside the parlor of
the recovery suite. She gave
him dollar and he left beam
ing with gratitude.
There were two Silk7shaded
lamps in the small parlor and
these Juliet lit one after an
other. The room glowed with
soft mellowness. A pleasant ia.
tigue of mind and body was
upon her. Tonight she would
sleep deeply luxurious and un-
troubled in the Superlative
bed with it's silken coverletS in
the next room.
Already a pleasant drowsineSS
was stealing over her, and with
leisurely movements she began
diSrobing.
There we're great double win
doWs, but Juliet did not trouble
to draw the curtains. In this
tall and remote fastneSs there
could be no spying eyes. She
opened a bag and got into
mules and a china7Silk negli-
gee.
