He laughed and waved to her as she went down the corridor to her &ambers. She was undressing slow- ly when there sounded three quick suc- cessive pistol shots, Her first thought was that Par- melee had killed himself. Perhaps if has mind had Leen less active she would have screamed, but she remem- bered that three shots were more than the number usually fired by one who seeks destruction. So she concluded that Aateeter the menace ler husband lead feat:ed, it now had proved its reality. . For tha moment, she at least be- lieved, and even in her startled breathing she formed the words, "It is some fault of mine." She opened the doer cautiously and Mt moon's rays on the carpet beneath her feet went forward amiss the car- pet in the corridor like sliding fingers. "Stand back, Beene!"

I'm going to turn on the lights?" • A sudden flood of light filled the corridor, "You fool!" crier: Brena. "You have shot the glass out of this picture." She pointed to the large photographic print. "I thought it was him," said Par- melee "Him?" asked Brenn. "Who?" "Why -a burglar," he said quiver - She came close and put her hands upon his shoulders. "The city is bad for you, Cciinpton," she said. "You are quiver:eg yourself to pieces over some absurd apprehen- sion. We must go outside somewhere -a house, a garden -quiet." He ahnest blubbered. "We meat go whe_e I can escape, if there is a chance to escape" he said. "And Brena- If anything does happen to ine-" "Yee." "-you're not to blame -not in the sense that it's your own will. Do you understand?" She looked at him !ti disgust; for the first time she felt a pang of hate. Within thirty days he had pur- chased a great gloomy house ep the Hudson. Tie had a coping of concrete, filled with broken glass, built all around the top of the wall. He had ordered iron bars for the lower windows, and an elaborate electric burglar -alum sys- tem. But the retreat into the walled Rut as she put out her hand toward Ithe telephone instrument it knocked !over an empty glass. Slle raised the s glass to her nose. t The supports of her heart suddenly crumbled, for then she knew that her husband was not mad, but was only et the end of a long night trying to drink himself into the freedom of in- sensibility. To Brena the cause of his terror, - 515 suspicions, his isolation, the horrid �exiled days he led, the sleepless' nights he spent, now appeared of less im portat:ce than the fact that no man was' sit feeing more than he. But she was unable to help him; his defences were now impregnable. "I do not know what you mean," he said. "We live a clean, wholesome kind of existence, don't we? You never hear complaints from me. I do not go lout much, it is trite. But I am work- ing. I do not- sleep well. Neither do many men. I drank too much once, that is true., But that was thirty or forty days ago. You have not seen me make the lnist..ke again." "It eel=me. My nerves are not good-theres no denying. But why should you complain, Brena? You can have anything you want for the ask- ing. Why complain?" "I'm not complaining," she 'said. "I am enquiring." "Inquiring?" he said with sudden heat, "Well, by heaven, if you ask once too often -you shall know! I'll tell you something about yourself you'll not want to hear." "You cannot," she answered quietly. "Are you laughing at vie?' be ex- claimed angrily. "I was smiling." e "Smile on!" he snapped. "Maybe you can tell where Jim Hennepin is, :Maybe in the end you won't smile, Maybe you will learn what it is that has clang to you -unseen and mi - kr own!" "I demand to knew !" "No -by heaven -you shan't,- Not until. I know ell -myself. Not until I krow how I shalt pay!" He paused. "And let that come quickly," he added throwing his open hands toward the ceiling as if beseeching heathen gods. "Sudden, swift and sure!" He rushed out of the room. Night after .night she heard him pacing his Study floor beneath her room. Once she awakened and heard no sound. She crepe down the stairs and peered into his study. IIS was crouch- ing down below the window sill, only his eyes above, watching the running shadows made by trees, shrubs, wind and moon upon the lawn. II "Whjumut pearde you around doinand g, thCoenmptonlaugh- ?" S ed. "I was thinking," he replied, "Thinking? Thinking of whet?" "Of life." "And what about it?" "How I love its" he had exclaimed. A few days later he rode in with Brena to New York. A new spirit had come into l ire. His eyes were filled with anew light; his voice had grown more firm. On his Countenance was a new'hxpression, in his motions something of the former dynamic activity and decisiveness.• Life -like good golf -is made tip of. many little things each one of which helps the score.

She wished often enough after the end came that she had at Least kept her ,lyes open, but there were incidents which drew her attention by the very force of their being extraordinary or bizarre: Within a year Parmelee bad de- veloped an insatiable appetite for his studies of the history of the South- west, :tis collecting of books and manu;eripts upon the ancient civiliza- tion and tribes of Central America, Mexico and the tangent region of the United States,wherc the painted' des- erts, and his compilation of data that bore in any ay upon the comparison of the Inca, the Aztec and the Yuca- tan eivi"ization with those of Egypt, Greece and Persia. The third winter of their marriage her husband began a ,practice of find- ing relief from that terror which had crept in upon Lin at first but now had begun to drive his nerves into a gallop. He who had conserved so careful': his precious health, now undertook a new burden. One morning Parnialee did not an- swer Brena's call. He was not at the breakfast table. The servants could not find him in his rooms. He was discovered finally by his voice which came in faintly with the sound of the wind. Brena, without protection from the driving rain, ran out the great front door, down the path to the massive iron gate. Parmelee was there with his little white hands grasping the upright bans -swaying backward and forward like a caged animal, staring out with wild red eyes at the :sigh shores of the dis- tant river bank seen through the haze, his bare head wet and disheveled. "Conic on And get me -damn your eyes!" he screamed. "You've been waiting long enough. Conte and get me. I'm not nfraid of you alit" Brena looked up and down the road beyond the gate. No living creature was int sight,. "You better come into the house, Compton," she said with a tone of authority. She believed he had lost his mind. He looked at her stupidly, his lower jaw limp and hanging, but he follow- ed her meekly into the house. IIe•stopped with his hands on rho When Brena came home that even- ing he had not returned.
