WEDNESDAY, Gypsy kunor Fleming has gagement with Ru- pert Joris, Dirk's older brother. And Dirk has gone to meet Isabel, Elinor's cousin, and a party at a lit- tle circus in Jersey, and has come to the defense of a persecuted maiden while watting for the party, and has waited still longer with Isabel while a fortune teller gives Isabel's friend Natalie a “reading.” Now. on the way to Isabel's house, Dirk sees a ghostlice woman's fig- ure run quickly up the drive of tise Joris estate.

With a furtive glance back into the moonlight, it passed be tween tl» sleeping stone lions, mounted the steps afd rang the bell. Somewhere inside the clamor sound- ed, and the figure waited, listening. still with further glances toward the gates. Steps sounded within, the door opened, and the figure flew in like a dark bird out of the night. Old Tim- othy stood ring in the dimly lit hall. It was a girl in a long green cape, the hood of which was thrown over her hair. She was wet from the rain, and breathed quickly as if she ad been running. “Well, Miss hintself only began half-d Weath ec By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON “Ray SS Kupert made a slignt open ges- ture with his hands. “Well... what do you think of | me?” She looked down, looked away. “1 won't do?” smiled Rupert. “Oh, yes!” quickly. “Only thought . .

Here he | lit the lamp with only a little fum- j bling, and bade the girl sit down. She laid off the hooded, wet cape, and sank into the seat before the fireplace, a deep-cushioned old couch, | shaped like a half-moon. Around her ; face her hair had formed in dark, | wet rings. She wore a black dress | with a white Puritan collar. Her hands clasped and unclasped, and | she shivered, cold without the wrap. There was no fire in the fireplace. Rupert stood looking at her, see ing her through a red haze. “You're a lawyer,” she said, glane- ing up at him. that?” Rupert dropped heavily into the big carved chair beside the couch. The girl was chilled, he noted with vague interest. UPERT rose, took “Elinor’s” shawl and laid it about the girl. “If you’ve broken a law—” Hope said. suspected a telegram, or that Mister Dirk had forgotten his keys. , “Close the door!” she answered, so imperatively that he obeyed, star. ing at her still, glancing up the stair to make sure that Mister Rupert didn’t hear and come down. Mister Rupert was in no condition to deal with an emergency. Not that this was going to be that. “What can we do for you, Miss?” “1 wish to speak with Mr. Jor’ she answered “Sorry, Mis: Joris is in bed.” Not strictly true, of course. Mister Rupert was still sitting in his room, taking his brandy “neat,” as Tim- othy called it. “No matter,” said the girl. “I've got to see him It’s ~it’s on business, tell him.” And as Timoihy stil! hesi tated. she thrust her hand inside her cape and drew out a flower, a faded white rose. “Give him this,” she said. Timothy looked at the token. For his master’s own sake be would not have the lady see him now. Some thing had happened this evening at dinner, something between his mas- ter and Mis8 Fleming. Perhaps this lady was te blame, this dark-eyed young woman in the damp green cloak, who gave a faded rose as her passport. and desired to see him “on business.” said Timothy. “Mr. IMOTHY weighing the possible consequences of sending the lady away, or exposing the master to'her disiliusiowment, turned to {see Mister Rupert descending the stair. “What's the trouble?” asked Ru- pert. Except for a thickness of voice @ seemed little different from the Rupert of the early evening. His coat was off, and his shock of black, unruly hair a bit more rumpled, but that was all. Slowly, steadily, she came down the stair, along the hall. Timothy gave the lady back her flower, and withdrew. Some where down the hall a door closed \ behind him. Rupert and the girl nt at each other. “What is it?” he asked. “I wanted to see Mr. Joris,” replied. she She wrapped herself in it obedient- ly. Lt looked bright on her, bright as a fire against her black hair, her deep-lashed shining eyes. Still she shivered. “I'm just . . . nervous,” She said. “Are you a lawyer?” Rupert drew his hand across his eyes. The shaw! dézzled them. “I am,” he replied. “1 am the son and the grandson of slain As for car- rying on the name, cave that to younger, to master- minds.” “Then tell me,” she said, leaning toward him. “If you've broken a law —if you’re in danger—in terrible danger—” “In danger,” repeated Rupert, as she paused. She nodded quickly. “It happened | in another State. That's what | want to know. If you're broken a law— in another State—” Again she paused, seeming to ob- | serve that he was not listening. Ru- pert was listening, but her words beat against his ears senseless as | pebbles. “If you've broken a law...” He had broken no law, yet Elinor | had condemned him. A few hours be- fore, she had sentenced him to death. Had killed him berself—with words —with words like knives. In her bright shawl the girl seemed the core of a great fire. . Her eyes— They were not real black. It was the lashes that made them look so dark. They were like —What was that gem of so limpid al brown that it looked yellow? ... Topazes. They were like yellow to- pazes. “What is your name?” he asked. She looked away. Presently she spoke, “Hope Devine,” she said. Rupert pondered this. The sound ; had ... associations. It was a phrase, and yet it might also be a name. “Where are you from?” he asked. Still she did not look at him. “From the South,” she said. He pondered this also. America? The South Seas? “What town?” he inquired. South “El Paso. Down by the Border ... by the Rio Grande.” “Tell me about yourself,” he or- dered.
