Show THE SAUNA SEN. SAUNA. UTAH past him: and now, as he began to listen. It seemed to lift him and bear him on It to another world, a world of love and passion and beauty. The girl was singing and the girls singing was unlike any he had heard before. What she was singing was a Russian folksong, whose axompanl-men- t was like swiftly flowing water. When she bad finished. David Campbell was asleep; but the plaintive voice of Mrs. I'ardee broke the momentary stillness: ODD NOISES?" SYNOPSIS. Incapacitated, mentally, by shock, as a result of experiences during the World war, Kenshaw makes a proposition to David Campbell, wealthy, elderly man of leisure, that for a year he assume responsibility for him (Uensliaw) practically buy" him. Doctor Stanley, lifelong friend of Campbell's, indorses the proposition, which Campbell, with some natural The armisgivings, accepts. rangement is that the young man becomes an inmate of the Campbell household, with the nominal duty of secretary. Kenshaw meets Verity, Campbells granddaughter, and gets the impression that she does not like him. Jenks, the butler, Kenshaw also feels, is distinctly hostile. Nevertheless, Kenshaw went down to dinner feeling quite normal, for him. CHAPTER II Continued A Another reflection followed the first, and was far less agreeable. He wondered if Campbell bad told bis granddaughter the peculiar relation in which he, Kenshaw, had entered the family. That he should give this detail a That he thought was surprising. should have the moments concern that now followed it was nothing short of amazing. He was actually hoping that the girl did not know, that old Campbell had not told her! The reflection, though vivid in its little instant of life, perished almost as soon as it was born. What difference did it make what the girl or any one else knew or thought? He turned Off the lights, opened liis door and 6trode out into the hall. Again, as in the corridor downstairs, he caught around a corner the flutter of a disappearing bit of white stuff a natural enough phenomenon In any house, lie reflected, and interesting only because of the impression of flight it conveyed. His attention to the incident was fleeting. Evidently Campbell's servants were a curious lot, and the arrival of a stranger in this isolated house was to them an event out of all proportion to its importance. He entered the living room at exactly one minute before eight, and as lie opened the door felt behind him the figure of Jenks, coining to announce dinner. Campbell and his granddaughter were already in the roopj, the latter before a grand piano, which Kenshaw, in his abstraction, had not observed (luring his first visit. The girl had been playing or singing, he assumed, though he had heard no music. Now, seated sidewise on the piano-stooshe was absently turning the sheets on the music rack and lending an ear to the monologue of an old lady who sat with Campbell before the Her resemblance to him fireplace. placed her as the old mans sister, hut she had entered the world ten or twelve years later. Like Verity, she was in full evening dress. She wore a superb diainond-and-peacollar; and half a dozen diamond, sapphire and emerald rings relentlessly called attention to the enlarged joints of her lingers. Her white hair was as elaborately waved and puffed as if she were going to a hall. As Kenshaw went toward her he heard the conclusion of her monologue, delivered on a plaintive key and without the l, rl high-pitche- slightest pause: Of course you will belittle the matter Davy as jou always do but I've told you before and I tell you again that your habit of leaving so many details to the servnnts will eventually drive us out of house and home as to the way they act some of them didn't get in till after twelve las: night though where they could have been is more than I know unless James drove them to town in the service ear which Verity has expressly forbidden him to do without permission but they never ray any attention to what one ordtrs anyway so what is the use of giving them orders " Old David Campbell raised a thin hand. One moment, Kitty, he said Let me present my new Kenshaw, secretary, Mr. Renshaw. this lady is my sister, Sirs. Pardee, and she's got more troubles than any one you ever met before. Site'll tell them all to you. too; you may be sure of that. He chuckled over his own joke, while Renshaw bowed over the wrinkled hand that lay in his own. The voice of Jenks placidly repeated the announcement of dinner, and David Campbell offered his arm to his sister. Kenshaw hesitated. Was he expected formally to escort Miss Campbell? Or would she resent such an assumption on his part? She was as proud us the devil, that girl every line of her and every glance of her eyes proved that. Also, she was really amazingly lovely. Feeling very unsure of himself, he approached her and formally offered bis arm, on which she remotely laid a perfect hand. Together "I do wish Verily that you'd learn some cheerful songs such ns other girls sing gay nnd bright you know from the musical comedies then1 must lie cheerful music in the world though we never bear any " Kenshaw rose abruptly and went to the piano. Thank you very much, lie said. "And good night.
