PAGE EIGHT ap rE. -- OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1922 At the Villa Rose f, (Continued from page 4) last as those whic: Cella had jue! kicked off upstairs. An almost im- perceptible nod from Helene Vau- quier, moreover, assured her. She took up 3 length of the thin cord. . "Now, how are we to begin?' she said awkardly. * I think I will ask you. mademoiselle, to put your hands 'behind you." Celia turned her back and crossed her 'wrists. She stood in her satin frock, with 'her white arms and shoulders bare, her slender. throat supporting her small head with its heavy curls, her big hat--a picture of young grace and beauty. She would have had an easy task that night had there been men in- stead of women to put her to the test. But the women were intent upon their own ends. Mme Dauvray eager for her seance, Adele Tace and Helene Vangquier for the climax of their plot. = Celia clenched her hands to make the muscles of her wrists rigid to resist the pressure of the cord. Adelo quietly unclasped them and placed them palm to palm. And at once Celia became uneasy. It was not merely the action, significant though it was of, Adele's alertness to thwart her, which troubled Celia. But she was extroardinarly re- nrly quick to feel, from a touch, some dim sensation or the thought of the one who touched her. So now the touch of Adele's swift, strong. nervous hands caused her a queer, vague shock of discomfort. It was no more than that at the moment, but it was quite definite at that. "Keep your hands so, please, madcemoiselle," said Adele; "your fingers loose." i And the mext moment Celia winced and had to bit her lip to prevent a cry. The thin cord was wound twice about her wrists, drawn cruelly tight and then cunningly knotted. for one sccond Celia was thak- ful for her gloves; the next, more than ever she regretted that she wore them. It would have 'heen diffi- cult enough for her to free her hands now, even without them. And upon that a worse thing befell her. "1 beg mademoiselle's pardon if I hurt her," said Adele. And she tied the girl's thumbs and little fingers. To slaken the knots she must have the use of her fingers, even though her gloves made them fumble. Now she had lost the use of them altogether. She began to feel that she was in| master-hands. She was sure of it the next instant. For Adele stood up, and, passing a cord around the at the climax of his fortunes: She had travelled much amongst monot- onous, drab towns without charac- ter or amusements, She had kept her eyes open. She had seen that it was from the denizens of the dull streets in these towns that the quack religions won their recruits, Mme. Dauvray's life had been a Featureless sort of affair until these experiments had come to color it. Madame Dauvray must at any rate preserve the memory of that color. 4 "No," she said boldly; "I am not afraid," and after that she moved no more. Her elbows were drawn firmly back and tightly bound. She was sure she could not free them. She glanced in despair at Helene Vau- quier, and then some glimmer of hope sprang up. Kor Helene Vau- quier gave her a ' ok a smile of re- assurance. It vw 3 as if she said, "I will come to your help." Then, to make security still more sure, Adele turned the girl about as unceremoniously as if she had 'heen a doll, and, passing a cord at the back of her arms, drew both ends round in front and knotted them at her waist, - (To be continued) STUDY TOUR FOR BOYS About the best thing a father ran do for his boys is to encourage them to travel and see something of the world, before they become too keen- ly engrossed in commercial life. Travel is a great educator-- it en- riches the mind and fits the youth to better fill his place in life, A normal boy is observant--he assimi lees and retains knowledge. Travel gives him his opportunity----it fits hm for every phase in life. A tour of Europe is at present he- ing organized under the personal supervision of Mr. T. H. Matthews.

In addition local guides wil se secured to conduct excursions ana give lectures on the artistic, historic literary and economic significance ol the sights seen and the places visit- ed.

To bring any strength to help her in wriggling her hands free she must be able Ryeise her elbows. -~ With them trussed in the small of her 'hack she was robbed entirely of her stremgth. And all the time her strange uneasiness grew. She made a movement of revolt, and at once the cord was loosened. "Mlle. Cclie objects to my tests, gaid Adele, with a laugh, to Mme. Dauvray, Celia saw upon the old woman's foolish and excited face a look of veritable consternation. "Are you afraid, asked. There was anger, there was men- ace in the voice, but above all these there was fear--fear that her illu- sions were to tumble about her. Celia heard that note and was quell- ed by it. This folly of belief, these Celie?" she seances, were the one touch of color | in Mme. Dauvray's life. And it was just that instintive need of color which had made her co easy to delude. How strong the need is. how seductive the proposal to supply it, Celia knew well.
