TP was the last stretch up the slanting lawns of “Her Wish” that brought her to sudden con- sciousness of her body as of @ har-driven animal that was failing her. There was a hot constriction across her chest, her throat and mouth were parched, her breast labored. Light and agile as she was by mature, the headlong, unaccus- temed run of more than a milo over umeven ground had taxed her forces to the utmost. She felt, during that jast hundred yards to the upper ter- race, as-though the clogging medium of nightmare stayed her, as though she were struggling up a hill spread with bird lime, A pang like the sharp curve of @ sickle caught her im the side. She was forced to halt a second, gasping hard; and in this second arrestment, the old dog, that although panting heavily had kept up with her, ran a yard ahead, then sliffened suddenly and growled, bis seruff bristling. She got her breath again and ran on, but the dog, whimpering uneasily, fel behind, darting now to the right, now to the left, snuffing and questing s though gecking some means of egress through a sudden barrier. “When she had mounted the. last step that led to the terrace, she saw that it was empty. Below her the setter was still whining and circling. She turned and, again running, went down the puth to the rose garden. As she reached the arbor that divided it from the lawns the dog, plunging through the box-hede, joined ther again, He was shivering violently and the hair all along his back stood on end. When he saw her begin to descend the steps he lifted his gray muzzle and howled dolorously, but didn't follow. Back and forth he darted at the head of the steps, bay- ing his terrified anguish, just as a person who cannot swim rushes shrieking back and forth along the edge of water in which some one is drowning. Dogs near and far began to answer him. Their howling went up in dismal chorus through the moonlit air, | except the will to be in time, to find Evan, to save him, drawing him as the moon draws the tide, stretched and ached under the fright- ful tension with which his were be- | ing drawn apart from them, Sudden- ly, as the dog had done, she became aware of a barrier across her way, a veil as of soft impenetrable stuff _NAMMS ECONOMY FRIDAY— Three of the Exceptional Values Sketched Furs, Lowest at Namm’s —and then, Reductions At the beginning of the season we assemble the biggest and best possible Fur stocks, take a percentage of profit lower than is customary on furs and arrive at regular prices that undersell the annual crop of Fur Sales and Winter Reduction Sales!

All seemed grey about her, vague, formless. She'could no longer tell where she was, The foliage and blos- some of roses were on every side, towering unnaturally like a @hadow forest. She plunged into tangles of thorny boughs, stumbled on the soft loam of the heaped beds. Her mind spun wildly like the mind of one fall- ing from a great height, and now for the first time she heard that desolate howling, full of helpless terror, of desperate imploring. . . . In some strange way, the homely sound brought back her sense of re- ality, She clenched all her being} against the insidious soft force that had closed about her like a gigantic cobweb, broke free from it, realized that she was in the ring of roses that guarded the grave, and ran forward erying his name, ‘The next instant she saw him. He had fallen forward on the low mound, with arms out- stretched as though embracing it... . She gathered all her strength and uttered it in one ery: “Evan!” The darkness thinned. She was sure she saw a quiver in his sealed eyelids. She called him again, Then her voice failed her. A hand seemed to shut her throat. She crouched fierce but paralyzed, while the dark- ness swelled again, billowing over her. . . And now the new life, the new will, in her flared agam, thin as a spray of fire, but rising, rising, higher than any shadow, piercing that violent darkness, severing it. And suddenly she knew, beyond doubt, that the evil power was divided by her effort against it, that it could not bend its full force on her with- out releasing somewhat its hold of Evan, With this knowledge came’ a transformation in her conception of the unseen. It was not only a dark power that she fought, but that power condensed into the form of a woman,} one who, if her inner eyes could dis- cern the intangYble, would be there before her, visible, actual to the last strand of her burning hair, who was there before her, though unseen, against whose terrible desire she wae measuring the might of her love. And even in the horror of this reatization, sho felt ea wild joy, the joy of one who has been a coward and who faces the supreme test with no faint- est thrill of' cowardice. Her only fear was that she might fail him, that her love might not prove strong enough, . . . "Love is strong as death.” . . . How often she had said it! . . . But this was more than death that she strove against. Her love must be stronger than death to conquer it. . As she thought this, that dark will surged upon her, until the inner light that was her ‘weapon concentrated to a And now her consciousness Th atom of she seemed and feel, was no longer he was contained in it as in the centre of a circle that had no circumference. And all at once both to see Nobody By Louis Joseph Vance Here is a story of breathless ex- citement, with the vast added charm of a girt heroine whom you cannot but like. Pretty and clever she was—bdut she had not learned to conquer New York. She was broke, dis- couraged. She sat on the roof of her tenement—twas caught in a thundershower. She went into the wrong trap-door—encoun- tered @ burglar—had to flee— found herself taken for some one else on a Maine island, a mystery and a New York society group on her hands, and plunged into a whirlwind of romantic adventure that ended in marriage with the man she loved. This story begins in serial form Keep him here till I come back, then dress and be ready in case anything's really the matter.” He returned shortly in rough and ready attire of trousers and coat over his pajamas, and bare feet thrust into tennis shoes, Back and forth before him, Clip ran, to make sure he was being fol- lowed, until they reached the arbor leading to the garden steps. Ho went so fast, indeed, that Steven lost sight of him for a moment along the turn- ings of the path, A little after, one loud joyous ‘bark sounded from the depths of the rose-trees, but changed the next instant into a long-drawh wail of utter dismay and grief. The moon, thougn westering, was still wonderfully brilliant. It showed teven that group of man and woman and dog, huddled against the slender grave. He thought at first that both Radford and the girl were dead. But as he knelt down beside them, Mela- ny’s eyelids lifted, and #he began to murmur words that for a time he couldn't make out, his, pulses were beating so thickly against his ears. At last he understood. She was say- ing monotonously, reiterating, as if the words were a spell that her voice must keep weaving, “He isn’t dead. - Ho isn't dead.’. . . He isn’t dead . Steven ‘eased into his friend’s face, laid his hand on his forehead, drew it back shivering. “He isn't dead. . +. He isn't dead at the front door, he haunches plaintive refrain, Roused by this incessant howling so near the house, Blanc, unable to sleep again, got up and went downstairs to drive the dog away. Clip came to a stand within a yard or two, and lifting his nose began to Before Blanc could make up his mind what to do, Steven joined stick in his hand and wrath Blane explained; howl again. him, a on his countenance, and Steven's angry look changed first into surprise, What on earth could have happened at Hilton, to send the old dog here at this time of night? » who camo eagerly fawning and utt ing looking back and halting just as he had done with Bile deucedty strange that I get into my clothes and follow him.|of Pape's Diapepsin as an antacid, she knew that this was the inmost heart of the love that is stronger than death . . .
