"This ' titne they've got a fight on their hands."' „ ,s. * A. thin film of dust covered every- thing in the Parmalee home. To Peter, the whole house except that part which Brena had occupied, seemed to be filled with unpleasant ghosts of the personalities that had lived in it. , He opened no door without the feeling that one of these invisible beings had just stepped out of the chamber from another eixt. The stairs up which he climbed complained gently, as if feet were following his. - Peter had found nothing in his sur- vey of the house that could contribute to his purpose; he had looked without more reason for looping than a desire to...see where Brena had lived and to confirm his• belief that, except in the library 'used by Parmalee, ' nothing could be found of any significance. He was about to return to the lower floor when he saw in front of him upon the bare dusty varnished boards a distinct print of a human foot. It 'l 11 t was of a small, well -formed foot— and the next beyond and the next— until they stopped where the stair carpet began. There sprang into his mind the ref- erence of Parmalee to footprints. He found himself listening now, the vic- tim for the moment of fear, ns if sud- denly the contagion had reached him. Then it eccnrred to him that the prints probably were made by the caretaker's young barefoot boy.

The well around which thepueblo had been built—the very life of the people -had been dried up in one night by a• miracle. • "Many and curious are the carvings upon the walls of this Lost Pueblo," said Father. Carlos. "Especially _ I noted a figure of great size, a serpent with feathers, like a bird, a figure such as is seen never but in the lands to the south and beyond the Great River." • The •next page began:"Then ac- counts of treasure are but the poor speculations of the ignorant.

Ire blew the dust off the once gilded top of its pages and as he did so he 1.oticed that at one place the pages did not quite press close together. The volume fell open there=at page thirty-seven.

"That is not a very pretty story." The gray .rght of .early summer dawn filtered through the chintz cur- tains of Brena's apartment. "No, Peter," she replied. "It is not a petty story." She shivered as one who, having no sleep, feels the dawn as, a yzet:shroud. "You can' see now,'Peter, why the time when your' arms were . about Hie, and your lips were . on mine is the end," she said: "If I leaew I was free, Peter, I could not see more of you. I' could not bear the thought that you to "Would vanish?" he finished and. laughed. She did not answer. "But you can't believe—" he began. "Damn it -the thing is absurd!" . "You forget thatIha have -lived li ed close to this thing! You might believe,• too, if you had, heard not my words but the words of life itself!" • "You've toid ane all?" Brena, sensing the presence of a doubt, said, wearily, "Yes, Peter—all" He walked up and down the rug, touching the repetitions of the pattern with the toes of his shoes. - "What about this Auk-ul-can? You never found that :crap of paper again?" "Yes," she said. "I had kept the purse. It belonged to my mother. I kept it. In the lining last year—I found the scrap of paper." "It's nere?" asked Peter eagerly. "Yes." She rose, opened a box on the bookshelves and gave the torn bit to Peter. H. T.

At the bottom of this flight above the hall stand vas an old Carved Chi- nese hinese frame holding a dusty mirror. Peter glanced at this mirror, saw him- self, stopped. The expression on his own face alarmed hint. He imagined that upon it was the first faint ex- pression of terror written, not as it is written upon the face of a man who is a coward, but the dins suggestion of fear of unknown clangers and of subtle influences. ]Peter had an unpleasant idea: it was thee his subconscious self as en- deavoring to transmit to his conscious self some message warning. e114 . Without Back; Holes`: fair Collar,Buttens Fore and Aft. London.=Although :Britons pretend to be the nest coneervative of the eorlcL..s inhabitants, London, as: "the-' man's town," must, perforce; be,as fickle in the matter of zhasculiiie fa=' anions as Paris is with those of women. When Prince of Wales, the late King . Edward gave Saville -ow a shudder by creasing his trousers along the side. King George has continued this sartorial oddity. ' The King also fastens his four-in-hand tie with a gold ring insteaal of la knot. The inno- vations of the Prince of Wales 'Are echoed all over the. world. Paris, however, `always has laid claim 'to being the correct ..place for men to buy their.shirte.. After improv ing waistcoats. to wear with evening clothes by removing the'back, Landon tailors thought they load done enough The hirt- • t ofchange.s inthe interests makers here' thought differently.' Cartoonists no longer will be able to lampoon the ubiquitous dress, shirt. stud It *will' not fall outany more, once it, is 'in unless it is bitten off. The shirtinakers have invented a dress shirt whiell buttons down the side, in- stead of fastening at the front. The buttons begin at the neeleband and travel along' the shoulder and down tbe side. • A. dummy front opening with' stud holes is providsf to conform. to con- vention, and the idea is to insert• the stud once and for all before ;cllntbing into the' shirt. The neckband also opens at the side, although the holes for the collar buttons are in the usual positions. .Although Englishmen continually "grouse" about the tyranny and dis- comfort' of stiff-frorit dress shirts, they have not shown any great desire, to get away from this starchy form of armor. Even the American coat - shirt, with its peculiar advantages, is still a long way from being generally worn in this country, which all goes to prove that the majority of Hien do not take their own grumbling very seriously.
