STORY of LOVE. MYSTERY AND HATE, WITH A THRILLING POR
TRAYAL OF LIFE BEHIND PRISON BARS.
TODAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Bettv looked at the man. whose eyes
met hers There was something in his
voice in his insouciant manner than made
, certain appeal to her. Besides, he was
innocent.
A Demand.
But I shall never give you away.
Bettv '• he said. ‘ Don't be afraid. I'll
sav nothing of what I know of your being
at Tempest street the other night only,
vou've got to help me. I must see Edith."
He did not seem to notice the effect of
hls words on the girl; his eyes were fixed
on the dismal gray vista of the park be
tween the trees. Yet he could not have
failed to see the strange change that had
fomf over her face, turning its pallor to
ar ugly grayness, nor how she caught
suddenly at the back of one of the little
green chairs set tete-a-tete under the
trees, as though she would have fallen.
When she spoke her voice seemed to
herself to sound as though it came from
some great distance.
• You must be mad—quite mad—to make
such a proposition." she said. "And not
onlv mad—as I said before, shameless.
Oh, a minute or two ago I felt sorry for
you —but now
You don't understand. ' he said, and
there was a new, an almost stern, note
In his voice. "I must see Edith. Betty,
you're not a child: you know that a man
does not endanger his very life out of
sheer wantoness. I’ve been twice to the
verv door today—then I saw you, and
waited. Betty, you must give me a safe
conduct into the house.”
In his eagerness he seized the girl’s
arm in a tierce grip.
She shook off his grasp impatiently.
I will not take you in Haven't you
wrought her evil enough?”
Levasseur looked her up and down, the
pupils of his Acs narrowed to needle
points "You refuse?" he asked with an
evil snarl
"Emphatically I refuse."
So be it.” The man shrugged his
shoulders with a foreign air that assorted
oddly with his present disguise "Then
vou simply precipitate matters, mon en
fant I will see Edith but I will see her
husband first.”
He turned away abruptly with a few
long, striding steps across the grass.
Breaking into a little run. Betty gained
on him
Wlmre are you going”” She did not
for a. moment doubt the sincerity of his
intention: it was for such daredeviltry
that Edmond Levasseur bad been noto
rious
I am going to pay my -aspects to the
husband of your ssiter." he said.
"No. no.” Her fingers crooked them
selves into the rough sleeve of his coat.
With a sudden change of manner, the
man put his hand over hers reassur
ingly.
"Can't you trust me. Betty?" he asked.
"Give me a chance, and Edith will live
to thank you; I swear that.”
In the House of the Enemy.
Mrs. Barrington was writing letters
when Betty burst in upon her.
Betty what’s the matter?" Alarmed
by her sister's strange look, she. rose
hurriedly and went forward.
"Everything.” Betty said, distractedly.
Edith, a dreadful thing has happened.
As 1 came across the park, whom do you
think accosted me? Edmond Edmond
Levasseur!"
A little sound of horror escaped Edith
Barrington's lips. Then the beast who
had been crouching in ambush during the
interminable hours of this week had
sprung! She could not speak; she stared
at Betty with so strange an expression
that the girl thought her words had failed
In their purport. "Don't you under
stand? 1 met Edmond.” She took her
sister's arm and shook it roughly, and
her voice was a thick whisper that crack
ed-on the final note of her question.
You met him?” Edith put the ques
tion stupidly.
Yes; and he’s here, Edith here.”

"That man here?" The words were
husky, almost unintelligible; the world
w&s reeling round Edith Barrington.
There was a noise of (he rushing of many
waters in her ears. She saw Betty
vaguely, yet distinctly, as nne sees ob
jects through an inverted opera glass.
"Betty, you are not playing with me?
Is this your revengp n "
Illogically enough, her sister’s agita
tion helped to calm Betty's own
"Dear, it is the awful truth." she said.
"He's here—in your boudoir—there’s no
time to lose. See him and get rid of
him —Tony may come back at any mo
ment."
Mechanically Edith moved slowly to
ward the door Betty held open for her.
"Darling, be brave." the girl whispered.
With her hand pressed against her
breast, she watched the graceful figure
in its clinging draperies pass out of the
room and through the beautiful hall
which seemed to serve as an ironic
comment on the deceit fulness of riches.
Beautiful, exquisitely clad, surrounded
by all that taste and money could pro
cure. there was no more wretched or
terrified woman in the whole of London’s
grim population than Edith Rarrington
at that moment.
I pstairs. outside her boudoir door.
Edith Rarrington paused; the shrill
groans of a piano assaulted her ear. For
a moment she paused outside the door,
sick at heart, half blind with a return
of the faintness that had assailed her in
the library Then, with the courage of
despair, opened the door and went in.
The interview.
At her entrance a man rose from the
piano, where he had been striking a se
ries of excruciating chords.
"Ah. madam, your instrument it is
beyond my poor skill." he said with a
bow.
Edith stared at him Then the voice
betrayed itself.
Madam. she demanded, hoarsely,
"what do you want?"
"Hush*" raised a deprecat
ing band. "Do you mind making fast
that door before we bpgin our conversa

Mrs. Barrington, with loathing in her
eyes, turned toward the door, but bp
was before her.
Permit me. ’ He bowed politely as h a
turned, the key and sT med it in his
pocket. X’ow, he enni ■ d. suavely,
"we are free from unnecessary interrup
tion. I have taken the liberty, you ob
serve. of ascertaining that there was no
other mode of entrance. I trust you will
forgive the intrusion Into your other
apartments."
He made a little gesture toward® the
door that led to her bed room The suite
of rooms consisted of a sitting room, a
bed room and a dressing room comuni
eating with Anthony Barrington’s room
That door was locked she had locked It
herself last night. They were free of in

and bound by the chains of a nightmare

He sat down near her and leaned for
ward. a smile on his face Maddened un
der his scrutiny, she found her voice.
A Frantic Appeal.
"How ilar* 1 you come here!" she said,
weakly.
The man shrugged his shoulders.
"You never had much regard for the
amenities of life, niy (Hr Edith’ A real
ly tactful woman would have begun wit:

She made a quick, fierce exclamation of
disgust, but he interrupted her with a
swift movement of his hand, smiling at
her still with that look she could not un
derstand. which yet. in pite of herself,
moved her to appeal to him.
"Edmond, if you have no mercy on

The man rose abruptly, ignoring her
appeal.
"You do well tn say it is madness

She stared at him in stupefied surprise,

He did not answer for a moment.

"What can I do?"

NO matter what people may say

of the Grifzly Bear will be the

time. People who can dance well can
accomplish this dance as gracefully and
elegantly as if they were dancing th”
old-fashioned waltz or minuet. It is

the bod? are exaggerated that the
dance becomes vulgar and suggestive.
It is easy enough to exaggerate, and
the bad actor generally knows that he
will make a hit if he overdoes some
piece of work that ought to he deli
cately done, but the real artist is rec
ognized as the one who gains the effect
without losing either grace or beauty
of gesture, and without making the
dance common.
It is a difficult thing to explain ex
actly how the Grizzly Bear is danced,
but with the help of the pictures I
think we can make it clear to you how
we dance It. though, of course, for use
in the ball room It is necessary to adapt
the dance which we lytve done on the
stage and to modify and eliminate steps
which would be too difficult for the
average dancer.
Two-Step Time.
The Grizzly Bear Is danced to a two.
step. Os course, we have our own mu
sic, but the same steps will go to any
good popular two-step of the day. A
couple of bars should be allowed for
the introduction, then the girl ap
proaches her partner, circling around
him but keeping her back to him all the
time, while, with arms outstretched,
she sways gracefully from left to right.
The steps are the regular sort "two
step" steps. During this time the man
should begin to awaken to the rhythm
of the musk', keeping time with the
knees and with a fanlike wave of the
hands and arms. Now the girl sways
to the right, having previously circled
around the left side of her partner: she
takes six steps away from the man; he
approaches her and begins circling In
the opposite direction. Hr should be
circling one way and she in the other.
After six steps they should meet in the

center of the stage or platform. The
two partners are then facing each,oth
er. She ran cross her arm* over her
chest, hold her hands on her hips or
outstretch, and he may do the same
with his arms. The man now turns to
the right, while the girl circles to the
left, both of them swaying in perfect
time to the music for eight bars. As
the circle brings them together again
there is a short pause for a pose, in
which they look into each other's eyes,
arms extended during a momentary halt
in the music.
The couple'then take the position for
the regular two-step, the man having
his arm around his partner’s waist, the
hand reaching just above the waist.
This is the first position of the dance.
The girl places her left foot between
her partner’s feet, her toe just touch
ing his, and the couple sway 4 slightly,
taking foui steps forward, that is. she
goes forward and he goes backv ard,
while they bend rhythmically to the
strains of the music.
This step is repeated six different
times, the man going backward first,
then changing, while the girl backs and
he comes forward. After that they go
to the side w ith four steps and then to
the opposite side
Now. the man holds his partner's
right hand in his left, both arms being
held very high above the bead. Now.
he turns her around with her back to
ward him
Dancing
The Hop.
Next, the girl and man each take a
long two-bar step In opposite direc
tions. poising on one foot and giving a
slight hop. They exchange hands as
they pass each other, and the change
and hop should be done as gracefully

as possible, without being abrupt or
jerk?.
Now ionics the next position, illus
trated with extended arms. The man
places his arm about the waist of the
girl, who stands with her back toward
him and in front of him: standing
slightly to the left of the girl they take
four swaying steps forward, then both
turn and take four steps back, return
ing to the same position. This part of
the dance Is repeated tb'<*e times, the
tnan putting his hands on the girl’s
waist nr holding her arms extended.
The grace of this part of the dance
depends entirely upon the absolute po
sition of the two Jteople. whoso feel
should touch the ground at the satm
moment.
Still with outstretched hands, the
couple take four steps forward, throw
ing the right foot sligbll? in the air
while they sivay forward for six meas
ure.l The kick in the air occupies tin
imperceptible moment of time. After
this the girl turns and faces her part
,nr'. placing her arms on his shoulder,
elbows, outstretched, while he holds
her with his bands very high on her
back, the elbows being outstretched
again. This is the real Grizzly Bear
position, and the couple hold it whiir
thi’? sway backward and forward fout
steps In double-quick time.
Now the girl gons backward, the
man coming forward, and the same
movement is repeated.
The two dancers now circle around
each other during a period of four bars
in reverse direction. They repeat this
in a slower stop so- two bars, the girl
then turns Iter back on the man. and
he places his right arm about her
waist. They then sway for four bars,
the man taking the girl firmly by the
hand and winding her toward him In
two bars and unwinding het In the
same space of time, turning as he does
this. The winding and unwinding is
then repeated at a much faster tempo.
After this comes the original Grizzly
Rear position again, and the swaying
movement repeated twice to four bars
each. Then taking the position side by
side they bop to the right two bops to
each bar for four bars.
Again he pivots the girl, holding her
band above his head; then with th'
hand dropped they hop to the left
Once mote he holds her hand up anil
the pivot and hop are done at the same
time to two bars of musl*
