The Dream Face. UDDENLY Richenda’s pink g cheeks whitened, a little startled look came into her wide, dark eyes, a little gasp of fear came through her parted lips. “Girls,” she said slowly, a note of strange amazement in her voice, “girls, [ it's he—the—the—man who comes in y dreams. Jean—Kathie—what does | it mean? Oh, look. They fell upon her, tore the paper from her shaking fingers, voices raised in_questioning exclamation. Richenda couldn’t gpeak now. She " was trembling violently, white to the She could only point weakly at the pictured face whick gazed out from the printed page. A lean, hatchet face i was, clean | ‘shaven, with finely cut' features, a wide, firm mouth above a thin jaw line, a pair of keen, humorous eyes, never even see Biett Fairways, but yet I know. that n some strange manner he is going to influence my lite.

N Richenda;Peterson .Jeaned her slim elbows ‘over the taffrail of the S. 8 Tibetan and watched the drab Ly buildings .of the murky town on its colorless river slip back westward. How the days before had scurried by! The endless buying, sorting, packing. She hadn’t taken more than she could help, true egough. In her cabin below there was but one portly trunk and a big suit case. But stowed away in that trunk, was one part of a bank’'s world letter of credit, and fooking out from under heavy bmw1|t_h' uplicate part of:this was sewn’ € SHE COULD SEE THE SMOKE PALLS OF LONDON im.ms AWAY, A strange, unusual face, that few oould pass by with a cursory glance. A strong face—indomitablé will show- ed in every line of it. A whimsical sadness lurked in the compelling eyes. Good intellect spoke from the broad, high brow. Courage showed in the chin. Not a handsome face, but one which by its fascinating force could make those who saw it look—and look again. Apd so Jean and Kathleen looked [ “What do you mean, Richenda?” they demanded. H Richenda was more composed now, her breath came a shade more quietly. “That is the face:which comes in my dreams,” she said. ‘““Now you know * why I couldn’t marry John Charteris.” “It s incredible,” cried Jean, “im- ble! You've never seen the man! ick, you are mad—dreaming!” “No,” said Richenda, a rather won- d@lerful soft light shining in her eyes, BT ting th typeseript leen was ng the mloud, punctuating her words "with Staccato shrieks of excitement. “Oh, Oh!” she cried, ‘“he’'s Brett " Fairways, the famous explorer. T've read about him before. He did that won- | derful Central Australian journey— you know—they got captured by the b gines and nearly eaten alive. " Look,” she pointed a pink nail at the heading above the photograph: “Brett Fairways Starts for Africa Today.” Jean chimed in. *A six-month tour in East Africa. The famous ex- orer goes on holiday. Oh, Richenda, low perfectly wonderful.” “Are you sure—quite sure—it's the same man?” persisted Kathleen, “Quite sure.” Richenda’s tone was steady now. “I know that face too well to make any mistake.” Kathleen's eyes glowed fire. “Dickle, * o you think he is the right man?”| she breathed. “That's just what I've got to go and find out,” answered Miss Peterson calmly. “Oh, Dickle! You'd never . . . You surely don’t mean to go to—-" “I shan’t need that pin, girls,” she said then. “The question has an- swered itself. I'm—going—to—-" She paused suddenly. A united yell broke from the other two pairs of lips. “Oh, Dick, go on . . . s . ._you're going to—-" “To East Africa,” ended Richenda. « The silence of utter amazement closed upon her words. Then: 3 “Oh, Dick, you can’t do a dreadful thing like that!” Even Kathleen was scandalized. g0 on in a little secret money belt which Richenda in great' discretion wore hidden from sight round her faist. That letter of credit is going to do great things for Richenda Peterson, she reflected, and smiled mischiev- ously. How drab the river looked, how rtt;;'md unwashed, the grimy tug- She could see the smoke pall of London miles away. London, with its hurry and bustle, with its soul-rack- ing labor, its disappointment, its cruelties. P London—a good place to leave behind when one is going to the ‘warm lands—the strange, new, color- tul lands which spell adventure! London! Would she ever have to come back to it? If so, how would she come back? “Broke” and dis- appointed, as Jean had grimly sur- mised, or with something of the tri- umph Kathleen had predicted?. . . ‘Well, only time to come would tell her that. She cupped her chinin her hands with a sigh. For a moment she felt a little scared. Somehow ' this wild adven- ture had its terrifying side.
