Once again I tell you to leave that seat -I ma present to care Der May ONVII!" Her worda are cool and clear -they do not speak of passion, such as a Milian girl might naturally exhibit under similar circumstances, but at the same time there is a light in her gray eyes that warns Senorita, Marina to beware. At first she assumes a d.efiazat air -she is in her own castle, and that gives COW' age. Then her inood changes -perhaps she sees Larry, who, stetson by her won- derful beauty, has assumed, an Etir of HOW FRIENDS ARE MADE. powerful tolroiration, just as a sun-wor- her blood leap like boning lava -through her veins, and Avis does not pretend to be an angel, even if Jack has many times called her one. She forgets everything save that here is a woman usurping her rights. One thing she does notice instantly, and it gives her considerable satisfaction -he makes no movement to return the caresses thus bestowed -his face, as seen in. the gas light, proclaims the fact that he is asleep, or else, God help her, dead -it's pallor bas alarmed her. Obeying the impulse that urges even She weekb to claim their rights, Avis starts forward. Larry trots at her heels like a feithfal little dog -Larry who is ready to fight or flirt at any hour of the day, such is the singulaa• conglomera- tion of qualities that make up his com- posite parts. As she enters the room perhaps the sweep of her garments reaches the ear of the dreamer who thus sits and caresses the face of the senseless doctor.. At any rate she looks up in astonishment, for never a suspicion has entered her head. that witnesses are present, Avis Evans looks upon the face of her rival, the Chilian girl who loves her hus- band, and whose strange lindens of right allow her to plot against the peace of a wife. She shivers as the looks -the won- derful beauty of that face astounds her; but never for one moment does she doubt the faithful love of her Jack -that has long ago been. tried in the lire aud found to be pure gold without alloy. "Senorita, will relieve you ,from fur- ther trouble -allow me to take charge of my husband," she says, quietly. "You!" grasps the other, her eyes dilated with surprise, and growing fury -"eospita 1 • I know you. now-tlae -wo- man he does not love,but calls his wife 1" • lost, for Larry cannot hold out against them!" she cries, accompauying every few words with 4 shake tbat makes his teeth rattleeand by this means she is slowly but surely causing the drugged dootor to throw off the incubus that has for a while paralyzed his brain -he gasps for breath, opens his eyes, 411,4 stares in a stupid Demmer about him.
