She had gone home to think — think. And if he followed Dinwiddle’s ad vice and remained here she might think too long. And if he followed and insisted upon seeing her, the result might be more fatal still. He knew nothing of those person alities she may have concealed from him. For all he knew she might have depths in her nature as black as the bottomless pit. And God only knew what the man had said to her. . . . Should he let her fight it out by herself? What in heaven's name should he do? Whatever happened, this di vine interval, like some exquisite ly adjusted musical instrument, had been hopelessly jarred out of tune, He almost hoped she would not return. Let it remain a per fect memory. . . . They could marry in New York and return here, when she was his wife. . . . If he had not already lost her. . . . • What in God's name was the thing for him to do? He’d go mad if he stayed here, and if he went he might regret it for the rest of hjs days. Why could not light be vouchsafed him? Gora, Fortunately he knew her room for he had carried up her luggage. He ran lightly up the stairs and tapped on her door. A startled sleepy voice answered. He opened the door and put in his head. ‘‘Come downstairs at once, Gora,” he said peremptorily. ‘‘l must talk to you.” She came down in a moment, clad in a scarlet kimono, her hair hanging in thick braids. With her large round forehead exposed she looked not unlike a gnome, but curiously young. "What on earth is the matter. Clavey?” she asked as she pushed her chair as close to the fire as possible. ‘‘lt has something to do with this sudden trip of Mary’s, I suppose. ■’ Mr. Dinwiddle said' she had been called to New York on important business, and the others accepted the explanation as a mat ter of course, but I’ll confess I wondered.” Clavering, still too nervous to sit down, jerked out the whole story, omitting only the old love affair with theiman who had exercised so strong an Influence on Mary Zat tiany’s early life. • “You see," he concluded, “there are two things: Austria had taken the pl.-ce in her affections that women of her rge generally con centrate on human beings—it be came almost a ’•acrament And then —for nearly twenty years she had hated everything in men but their minds. Sex was not only dead but a detestable memory. After that rejuvenescence she had never cast a thought to loving any man again. That mental habit, at least, was fixed. When I net her she was a walking intellect. . . . I thought I had changed all ‘hat . . . .up here I had not a doubt left . , . but now ... I don't know. . . . Put that cold-blood ed mind of yours on it and tell me what to do.” "Let me think a minute, Clavey.” As he resumed his restless march, Gora sent her mind travel ing out of the mountains and far to the south, and tried to penetrate the brain of Mary Zattiany. She could not visualize her in the bed of a casual hotel or sitting in'the chair of a parlor car, so she skip ped the Interval and saw her next day sitting in that intimate room of hers upstairs; the room, as suredly, • where she would think out her problem. Gora had studied Madame Zat tiany with all the avidity of the artist for a rare human theme, and she believed that she knew her as well as Clavering did. If not better. She had also not failed to observe most painful. He was given surgi cal attention and will be able th resume his accustomed activities within a few days. L. S MATTHEWS IN SLKIUUS CONDI HON L. 8. Midthews, who was stricken with pneumonia at his home on t'glethorpe avenue last Wednesday Prince Hohenhauer’s picture, and had read the accompanying text with considerable interest, an in terest augmented, not unnaturally, by his exceeding good looks. That same day she had met a Viennese at dinner who had talked of him with enthusiasm and stated defi nitely that he was the one hope of Austria. Gora Dwight was a very ambi tious woman and revelled in the authority that fame and success had brought her. She was also as dis illusioned in regard to men as any unmarried woman could be; al though quite aware that if she had lacked a gift to entice her emotions to her brain, she no doubt would even now be looking about for some man to fall In love with. But her pride was spared a succes sion »jf humiliating anti-climaxes, and she had learned, younger than most;, women, or even men,» that power, after sex has ceased from troubling, is the dominant passion in human nation And Madams Zattiany was twen ty years older than herself, and had drained the jeweled chalice to the dregs. And for many years more she had enjoyed power, rev elled fn it, looked forward. Gora made no doubt, to a greater and greater exercise of it. Power had become the master passion of her life. Like men in the same case, she had indulged herself, during a period of enforced inaction, with an exciting love That she had fallen in love, romantically in Jove, with this young man, whom CHEAP MONEY TO LEND .■ . 1 We always have money to lend on farm lands at lowest rates and best terms, and you wtli always save money by seeing us.

Up here Mary”, had ceased to be a woman of the world, she had 'ooked like a girl of twenty: and that she was in love and recklessly happy in the fact, was for all to see. That had been one. of her most interesting divagations to the novelist, Gora Dwight—but a phase. Gora was not deluded. And this man Hohenhauer had brought her to senses; no doubt of that either to a mind ooth warm ly imaginative and coldly analyti cal. And what had he come up here for except to ask her *c marry him —to share his power? She dis missed the Washington inference with th° contempt it deserved. Mr. D'nwiddie was a very experienced and astute old gentleman, but he always settled on the obvious like a hen on a porcelain egg. . . . What a manifest destiny! " What an ideal match. . . . She sighed, almost envying her. But it would be almost as interesting to write about as to experience. After all, a novelist had things all her own way, and that was more than even the Zattianys could hope for. Then she remembered poor Clav ering and looked up at him with eyes that were wholly sympathetic. “J don’t think there’s a doubt,” she said, “that Prince Hohenhauer came up here to ask her to marry him. You can see for ■ yourself what such a would mean for him, for aside from that indis putable genius of hers—trained in later years by himself —she has great wealth and few scruples; and where he tailed to win men to his purpose, she, with her su perlative charm, and every femi nine intuition sharpened by an un common “rperience of men and public life, world succeed. She may hate him, a« Mr. Dinwiddle says—to*- the moment. But even If she ■‘•ontinued to hate him that would not prevent her from mar rying him if she believed he could help her to power.
