Nikoli murmured something about the God

was speech which lacked conference. His lips
moved but his eyes might have been trying to

Japan, had been engaged at enormous cost to
make her debut in the western world at the
Theatre de Bel Art. There were pictures of
nearly nude young woman of the japanese

10 acres. The pressure of the ice on
the ship remains about the same.
Several feet of the stem below the

and dark-eyed and

years been the ac-

community. Being
the belle Of q small

an exalted position.
Isolation and re-
moteness and the
slow progress Of
modern inventions
lent enchantment
to the position.
Therefore when
Cary Conant came
up from Westhav-
en- and assumed
his duties in the

bank he became without question
Karen's conquest. The others were
willing enough to stand by in their
vistfulness, and be thankful they had
shown no interest in handsome young
Cary. To do so would have meant
humiliation when it suited Karens
fancy to enter the race.
II analyzed it would be difficult to
identify Karen's particular charm.
Her smile was provocative, her eyes
were constantly filled with merry
dancing lights. She had desire to do
the daring. Her ideas were ultra
modern. But chiefly, it was her pride.
her indifference to what other people
thought, her unexpectedness, her in
dividuality.
No one was surprised at Cary's ca
pitulation. This had been foreseen, as
the success of all Karen's conquests
was foreseen. Resignation and ac-
ceptance was the order Of the day
among the wistful maidens to whom
Cary had appeared as the errant
knight of their dreams. And, out
wardly. resignation was the role as
sumed by Brian Darwin. Brian, owner
of Darwin's Plumbing Supplies, Inc,
had been Karens most recent con-
quest. He was. she had decided. the
best all-around bet among the blades
of Bakersford. She had, forthwith,
bewitched him, and Brian had liked
being bewitched. In fact, his devo-
ton for Karen went deeper than even
she guessed.
During the summer following Cary
Conant's arrival in town Karen began
in part to know the sensations she had
caused in the breasts Of others. She
fell in love with Cary Conant. Com
pletely. Heretofore this emotion had
been foreign to her character; its ap-
pearance bewildered and frightened
her little She dared not yield to it,
and yet she knew that If Cary Conant
did not propose marriage before an
other month had passed she would
perish of agony.
THE month did pass and Cary didn't
propose and Karen did almost
perish. A terror seized her. Suppose
Cary never proposed? Suppose Cary
treated her as she had treated others?
The thought tortured her. It kept her
awake nights. It robbed her Of her
appetite.
She began to scheme. No one had
Is yet guessed her secret. She mustn't
let them. She must force Cary into
q proposal. Obviously he had been
attracted to her at the outset because
she was different from other girls.
Because she was daring, modern, pro-
vocative. She must continue to be
30. She must not lose her individual
ity. Above all, she must give Cary no
hint of her true feelings.
