| gree.

and predict for him further and
more signal honors. Among the fea
tures of the convention, was thq
showing of the publication of the
magazine which he represents, from
the first line of type set to tne roll
ing of the finished product in to
mailing packages. ‘This,” said
Henry Mayes, ‘constituted one of
the most beneficial and eduaction
al features of the convention.”
A splendid banquet served in
Kenilworth Inn concluded the oc
casion. ,
Mr. T. G. Pellham is ill at his

“'I don't think there's a doubt,’ she said, ‘that Prince Hohenhauer
came up ‘'•re to ask her to marry him.’”
LVII (continued)
And he did not believe for a mo
ment that she had gone to Wash
ington.
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.

Austria.
Gora Dwight was a very ambi

authority that fame and success had

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.

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. If it had not
been for you I» don’t believe she
would have hesitated a moment,”
