Once cufsid "no enclosure I started the motor, and taking my place, as- sisted her to her seat, standing erect for a. moment thereafter as I allowed my eyes to wander over the outpour- ing stream. Through the midst of it I saw a big man with a coarse face and flowing moustaches plowing his way, his small evily-set eyes rivetted upon me with ominous fixity. It was Rich- ard Mackay; and the malevolent jea- lousy of his expression filled me with an unholy joy of triumph. I laughed point blank in his face as I seated my- self beside my fiancee and tucked the robe close about her with lingering and ostentaious familiarity before throwing forward the iever. A Side- long glance s’olou at her told me that she had not Ilflllt”:«‘;"l him in the press, and wit}: 1:!) 1"f‘.<.-"~I.":l('."\-3 to his having been {iron-zit. .7 son: the (*ar hutnming ; where 7. sat. placing herself before the ipiano in the attitv 1de of one about to play. Her face ‘3 as unnaturall 3 blood- 21855. and a thin, hair-like line about 'gthe corners of her mouth seemed to ibe constricting her lips. Altogether § the change in her appearance was not :to my liking, and the quick stealth of 3 her movements caused a most uncom- lfortable sensation to run through me; i a mingled feeling of guilt and do bged- ness, as though I had been surpiiscd gin a forbidden bower by its rightful lord. A. totally different type from the soft and perfectly poised creaturt that I might be able to be more often at her side thrilled me with joy When- ever it recurred to me. Had she not really loved me her desires in this re- spect must have been just the reverse. The buzzing of the door bell aroused us from our close communion with a mutual start. It was an unusual sum- mons, one sharp pressure upon the button closely followed by two more of some seconds duration each. At the first alarm her hands involuntarily tightened in mine, and as the longer notes bummed their insistence I saw the color ruzh from her cheeks in a scurrying tide. Her form straight- ene and grew tense, and arising she glided with. swift noiselessness across the room and touched the button that Sli‘t‘illallé'd her maid. As though she lad been waiting in the doorway, Janet slipped into the room. Her mis- it‘tâ€"SS antit‘tssed her swiftly. of the moment before was revealed to me in those fleeting seconds of quick action and swift sentences, and my breath came faster before the con- trast. In the few steps that had been required to take her across the room and back, her face had become that of an older, harder woman. The sen- sitive beauty of her mouth had been lost in its compression; her cheeks were like polished marble; the soft lustre of her eyes had turned into the f linting brilliancy of gems. Whether t was fear or anger or a blending of the two that had wrought this magic transformation I could not determine. “‘0.” “a. ‘ \i Almost breathlessly I watched the maid as she swung the door slightly and Stood blocking the Opening with her lithe form. From Without rum- bled the heavy tones of a man un- steady and thick from drink. “Good evening, Janet.

Then the notes of the man arose again, a sullen growl sounding through them. “Did she order you to tell me this nonsense or are you acting upon your on responsibility?" The voice of the yellow girl, theretofore respectful, took on a cold insolence. “That is a matter for you to form your own Opinion about. At lgagf I am willing to accept any responsibility for what 1 may tell you.

Then I will be able to tell you.” . “And those ringsâ€"they sbunded al- most like a signalâ€"one short and two long ones." “It is one of his peculiarities. I think he so announces himself every- where.” She came close beside me, dropping her hand upon my shoulder. “You told me once that you would never mistrust me again. You are do- ing so now. I cannot wholly control the actions of others, and- there are reasons why I do not Wish to quarrel with Mr. Mackay unless I am driven to it. Your jealousy may ruin our prospects and make us had friends after all. I do not feel flattered by it.” I gOt upon my feet and slipped my am about her. “You must forgive me once more, dearest. While I ad- mit that my love is a jealous one, yet Where my heart is my faith also re- poses. I trust you implicitly and will ask you nething further. I was very much surprised, that is all.” She smiled upon me with a. sweet- nesg that was incomparable, and for an instant her palms held my cheeks. “You had better go now, Tom. It really is late and I am just plain, physically tired. You may kiss me good-night if you Wishâ€"just once.” lips paid reverential tribute to it. She accompanied me to the door, her hands locked__above my elbow, blew me a farewell from finger tips that toucher her lips, and disappeared be- hind the oaken panel. Sobered of spirit by the occurrence of a few minutes before, and despite myself somewhat depressed by thoughts which, notwithstanding the fact that I would not permit them to croud themselves into my brain, nev erthe less hovered upon the horizon of it, I started homeward on a brisk mall: after having ordered the car now hers, to one of the garages within the building. A vacant lot with a path cutting diagonally across it spread it- self before me, and in accordance with my usual custom. I took this short cut as a saver of steps. The remains of a natural grove were scat- tered throughout it. and upon its cen- tre the nightshades lay heavily. As 1 :U path I was conscious of a slight rus- tling movement at my back, and ducked my head with an involuntary quia‘iz' 98 that is the gift of a natural h‘x'.v_.- Than ‘ n°‘:°~i_w}.-"I ufitfi- mo, 20-03 aid I an oak tha 1: mess could he possi- :i‘er with you about at :" night that coul dnot .mer the telephone?"

In a flash I became a fight-‘ ing machine; my fists knotted and my muscles hardened as, with my guard raised, I edged towards him, on the alert for either attack or de- fence. At the same instant he re- gained his balance and came towards me. “You puppy,” growled the heavy voice of Mackay. Cold as ice, externally, but never- theless with the fires of satisfaction burning fiercely within, I stepp:d backward and to one side, my left hand darting towards him in rapid feints. Knou’ing the man’s reputation as I did, 1 was not in the least sur- prised at his attempted thuggery, and I now determined to give him the worst beating I was capable of with- out using more than my fists or en- dangering his life. His reputation was an own book. When sober he used his brains for the destruction of his enemies. but when drunk the beast within him arose raging, and many was the man who, crossing him in his cups, had been felled unconscious by his great fist. Instinctively disliking him to the very core of my being, and raging inwardly at the cowardliness of hisattack, I stopped his approach “Owl wvvâ€"«r-â€" -v_':‘v by a straight, left-hand blow that cracked like the report of a pistol and sent his head rocking. He was proba- bly as powerful a man as myself, but much slower. much older and in much poorer condition physically and men- tally. His bear-like rushes and swings I evaded without difficulty, sending his head backward with short, quick blows until his wine-filled mind whirled, and he staggered as he tried to reach me. My time had come, and deliberately i took full advantage of it. For the first time I used my right hand, sendiiva‘ it over his guard with the viciousr:--ss with which E would have struck at the head of a serpent.
