'"Well,” she said with a comfortable
sigh, as she drifted onto the divan.
“Thank goodness, we’re alone at last!”
"Illona, you must go at once!” he said,
In his cold, precise tones.
“Go!” she echoed, looking up at him
in surprise
“Yes.”
“Oh." she cried, flinging herself off the
divan and picking up her hat off a chair
with a vicious slap, “your everlasting
work! Well. I'll come back later —about
midnight ”
"Illona. you must not come back.”
“Not come back!" she repeated. Sjlowly
and woaderlngly, as she stared with
great round eyes at his cold, impassive
face. There was a little silence and then
she broke out bitterly: “I know! It's
that man!" she pointed to the door
through which Joshakawa had so recent
ly vanished. “You're always this way
after he has been here. As if you didn't
have enough to worry you with that old
kill-joy hanging over you like an under
taker! Well, I'll come back later, any
way!"
“Illona. you must never return!”
The woman gave a quick gasp and
took one swift stride toward him.
“What!” she exclaimed in a low voice.
Then: ”I—l don’t think I understand
" you!”
He looked into her eyes with eyes that
told nothing
“You must leave at once and never re
turn!” he repeated as dispassionately as
if he were dismissing a servant.
“Why—why! Why—what’s the mat
ter?” she stammered, in a low voice, her
bosom beginning to heave.
“It would be better not to go into that.”
he said, coldly. "It is enough—you must
leave at once and never return!"
The woman crept nearer to him and half
held out her hands, tearfully, nleadingly.
“Tokoramo!” she exclaimed, in a voice
barely above a whisper. "You are jok
ing!"
A Woman’s Rage.
He looked at her in away that left no
doubt on that point. “You must go. Il
lona !"
Her eyes began to flash.
"Why?" she demanded, her little white
teeth clinched and her face as white as
her teeth. ■
“I do not wish to quarrel with you I
would be kind to the end—this is the
end! I ask you to go at once."
“But —why. why?”
“I ’do not care to say. Go!"
“But.” she cried, with proud anger.
“you can not look at me like that and
say such things—and not tfell me why!”
"It is better so,” he said again, with
no change in his eold, impersonal tone.
“I would be kind to the end. Go, Il
lona!"
A touch of hectic color appeared in
stantly in the woman's cheeks. Her eyes
biased.
“Do you think I will be cast off like this
—like a worn-out coat? Ah, no. no!” she
exclaimed, with a sudden softening, creep
ing toward him. “You don’t want to make
me angry. Tell me what has happened
—What is wrong? Am I not your Illona?
Have J not waited all through the even
ing for you with my heart in my throat—
-1 in there'” She pointed to the divan.
“Did I not lie there, throbbing with love
and sympathy, while you sat here a.nd
-- worked ’" Her voice broke for an in
stant. “Have I not been your quiet, com
p'scant slave, helping you in every way
you would let me? And now you say I
must go—without a w’ord, without a rea
gon—well!” Her anger blazed up again.
“I will not go' Do you hear?” She threw
herself into a chair. "I have a right to a
little • more consideration -than that! I
have had a little corner in your heart—ft
has not been much, but I have had it!
Arid I will hold it!” He stood looking
at her without a ripple on his face, until
she sprang up with a cry that was al
most a snarl.
“Eer goodness sake, say something'
Don't stand there and look at me like
that!"
Tokoramo turned quietly to a drawer in
his desk and drew it open There was a
clink of coin
“I would be kind to the end. Illona." he
said “You shall have as much money
as you desire.”
The words struck the last drop of blood
from the woman's face.
“Money.” she gasped, in a horrified
whisper.
■ “Yes." he said, and stood expectantly
at the open drawer. Illona bowed her
head and pressed both hands tightly to
her face. “Oh!" she moaned. “You never
loved me—you never loved me! Is that
what you think of me? Is that what you
think of me?" ■
He opened his Ups to speak, but she
went on without heeding.
“You never loved me! You never loved
me! But tonight!" She stretched out her
arm to him appealingly. “Tonight—a lit
tle ago—you said you did, when we were
alone--and I believed you! 1 thought that
underneath the ice you had one little
drop of warmth —one little drop of love—
that you had a heart. 1 have given you
my all' Y'ou have stripped me of my
thoughts, my dreams —my all! And now
you say I can have money—and go!"
A swift shadow of pain passed across
the man's face. His eyes burned a little
brighter as he strode swiftly up to her
f and stared into her face.
“Why do you lie?" he demanded in a
low, passionate voice.
“Lie!” exclaimed the woman, falling
back a step before him.
“Yes. Illona —you lie! Y'ou have deceiv
* ed me—and you know it!"

"Yes. Illona —you lie! You haVe deceived me and you know it.”
“No. no!" she cried.
“You have lied! Y’ou deceived me about
Lindener! Why do you lie?”
The Confession.
“Oh, my love! Please"—
“Did you not deceive me?" he demand
ed. harshly. His eyes held hers and they
stared in silence while second after sec
ond slipped away. At last she suddenly
covered her face with her hands and turn
ed away.
“Yes," she whispered.
She did not see him wince and his voice
gave no clue to the pain tn his heart.
"It is enough! Go!" And he pointed
to the door But the woman faced him
in desperation. She was fighting for
something she had wanted all her life and
had found—only to lose it in the hour,
of discovery.

"Yes—if you will have it—l did!" she
cried And then, in a kind of desper
ate. hopeless compassion: “Oh. you blind
one! Can't you feel the triith—or are
you a man without blood—without a
soul? Are you not even alive? Can't you
see how I have felt—how I have suffered?
How I loved you! whether you wanted
me to op not? I did play with Lindener!
What bad I to expect from you"—her
•vdice broke -with a sob—"but .that soon
er or later you would gfo home and leave
me here to eat out my heart with grief
'--to die of longing for you! You stood
first in my life —and I have not even stood
second in yours! And Lindener wants to
marry me!"
. "All this does no good. Illona." he said,
coldly , when she . paused for breath. "I
would be kind and Just—whatever you
are."

"Whatever I am!" he cried bitterly.
“Whatever I have been my love for you
has been the true.thing in my life! Can't
you see that?"

Many of the questions received from contestants
are of the same sort and a few general explanations may

solutions is. A set embraces solutions of all the puz
zle pictures in the contest from one to seventy-five, in
clusive. Each contestant is permitted to send in at the
close of the contest one, two or three complete sets; but
there must be only one answer to each puzzle in any
one set. That is, you cannot have two or three guesses at
a picture unless you send in two or three complete sets.
No sets are to be sent in until
after the close of the contest, that
is, until the last of the 75 puzzle
pictures ha\e been pubtished.
Then each set must be arranged in
numerical order and forwarded to
the Contest Department. No. 20
East Alabama street.
The sets will be considered sep
arately. That is, if you send in
more than one set. your chances
of success rest entirely upon your
best set. Correct answers will not
be transferred to another in order
to make a correct set.
It is not necessary to send the
pictures with the solutions, but the
pictures may be used in arranging
the sets of answers if contestants
choose.
If more than one proverb in the
Proverb Book has exactly the
same meaning, though not quite
the same wording, either Yvill be
considered a correct solution.
The names of the winnei-s and
the answers to all the puzzles will
be published at the close of the
contest.
Anvone is eligible to enter the
contest at any time. There is no
age limit. It is a contest for all
