When Pendragon's name was first
mentioned, you remember the Sunday
morning I got the card to the water
colour show, George was even more
concerned than Gloria, and when I
went he warned me to be careful
what I said. I believe that he is re-
sponsible for Pendragon's illness."
Comprehension had dawned in Ter-
ry's face, but with it Ruth could see
a tolerant incredulity and a wonder
that she could believe such nonsense,
"It's 'reasonable, enough that
George hates Pendragon, but even if
he does hate him and even if,he was

ed, that doesn't give a prop snake

"It isn't the snake; it's the power
of George's concentrated •thought,"
"Thoughts can't harm people," said
Terry.
"But they can -thoughts are things
and evil thoughts are as powerful as
good ones." -
She could almost see the thoughts
passing through Terry's brain, He
was looking at her, assuring himself
that she really was sane and had
been up to this night quite normal,
almost uninterestingly normal, and
even while 'she tried to make her be-
liefs clear she was conscious of a
feeling of exultation because for the
first time she was actually interest-
ing the 'man.
"I've heard of Indian fakirs who

into them without causing the slight-
est pain, but I never heard of one
who exercised such power over an-
other person, but even if that were
possible how would is "help to send

w Perhaps behind
her thoughts too there was the faint
hope that' if. Gloria went back to her
first husband, '.Terry might change
the object of his affections, but this
thought was only half defined, for at
nineteen the idea• of a - man loving
twice is very inartistic. To Ruth all
real love was of the Abelard and
Heloise, Paul and Virginia type.
Thus she thought in silence while
Terry waited for her to unlock the
doer. The door . opened to her key
and she turned to say good -night to
him, when her nostrils caught the ov-
erpowering perfume of some strange
incense, and in the hall she saw the
same blue haze that she had seen
that night ' when she found Amy on
the stairs. Terry,, too, had smelled
the incense, 'and paused,.,looking at
her for explanation. Her heart was
beating at a tremendous rate. Here
was the opportunit that she had
been seeking to secure an unbiased
Witness.'She put her • finger to her
lips in .sign of silence, as . Amy had
done that night, and drew him with
her into the hall. Then 'she closed
the door silently behind them. With-
out knowing why he imitated• her ex-
ample in silence. " Inside the hall was
heavy with the blue smoke and the
perfume that seemed to be smother-
ing them,
"Now I can show you why I want
Gloria to send George away. He's
downstairs now, I think," she was
speaking in a low whisper. -"I want
you to see for yourself. I haven't
dared to tell any one for fear they
wouldn't believe. He's down there,"
she pointed. "Don't knock or let him
know you're Coming -I want you to
-see everything. Perhaps -I know it
sounds -a terrible thing to do, but if
you could just look through the key-
hole-"•-
She stopped abruptly, seeing Ter-
ry's look of amazement at such .a re-
quest.
"Believe me --it is better to do that
- just look once and you'll under-
stand."
She moved toward the rear of the
house, tiptoeing noiselessly and beck-
oning him to follow. At the top of
the short flight of steps she stopped
again.
° "Down there,' behind that door,"
she whispe"ed.
As one preparing to dispel the fool-
ish fears of a nervous woman, Terry
advanced down the steps, yet such
was the influence of the . hour, the
strange. incense and Ruth's manner
that he walked softly: Ruth follow-
ed him, but at the bottom Terry did
nct bend down to look through the
keyhole. Before Ruth's frightened
eyes he put his hand to the handle
of the door, which swung inward at
his touch.
A deeper blue haze than. that above
filled the room into which they look-
ed. In the centre of the room George
was kneeling -about his head a white
turban was weund and he was wrap-
ped in a long, black robe on which
the signs of the zodiac were picked
out in gold thread. Before him was
placed aa altar, which rose in a ser-
ies of seven steps. At the bottom a
lamp was burning with a blue flame,
from which the clouds- of incense
were rising, almost obscuring what
lay coiled on the topmost step which
spread into a flat platform - an en-
ormous serpert coiled, with its head
lifted from the centre of the mass
and swaying from side to side, seem-
ingly in accompaniment to a low
monotonous chant that George was
singing, while he too swayed back
and forth, for some moments seem-
ing not to know that the door had'
been opened. Ruth could not under-

The thing that hurt her most was
the faerthat as yet she had seemed
to attract no particular notice from
her instructors. In Indianapolis she
had been rather important and she
could not think that the greater at-
tention shs had received there was
entirely due to there not ' being ' so
large a number of students. ' She
longed to ask one of the instructors,
but it was hard to do that. They
came through, looked impersonally at
her work and made brief comments
about drawing, proportion, composi-
tion, etc. Finally the courage came
to her very suddenly in the portrait
class one morning-' She had come
early and was in the 'front row, VAry
slowly the instructor, the most frank -
and • vitriolic of all the instructors,
according to Nets, was coming to-
ward her. Suddenly she knew that
she would speak to him that day. AS
he stopped front time to time, her
courage did not desert her. She wait-
ed quite clamly until he reached her
side. She rose to let him have her
chair, and for some seconds he look-
ed at her work without speaking.

'Perry had no opportunity to talk to,

peared with tea, looking so correct
and conventional that it was difficult
to believe that they had seen him
the night before burning incense and
kneeling to a snake.
"Any news?" Terry whispered, and
Ruth could'only shake her head.
When 'George had left the room
Terry ventured to speak of him:
"What's all this.,th'at George is tell-
ing me about going up to the Peyton -

asked.
"Oh, he's been telling!" exclaimed
Gloria: "I intended it to be a sur-
prise. He's really quite wonderful,
you know, or at least he was quite
wonderful if he hasn't forgotten."
"It can't do any harm, my know-
ing, ae I'm not to be one of them,"
said Terry.
"I'd get you an invitation, if there
was the slightest chance that you'd
accept," said Gloria.

"Consider yourself invited •.then.
