Perhaps the wound had killed her. For ail these years she might have been lying dead somewhere in the snow, under the sky. Sharp periods of pain followed dull periods of stupor. Now it was night again and a recollection of Jasper's theater tlekel had dragged him to a vague purpose. He wanted to see again that woman who had so vivified his memory of Joan. It would be hateful to see her again, but he wanted the pain. He dressed and groomed himself carefully.

The people about him began to be amused by the excitement of this handsome, haggard young man, so graceful and Intense, so different with his hardness and leanness, the brilliance of his eyes, the brownness of his skin. Ills clothes jwere good enough, but they fitted him 'with an odd air of disguise. An experienced eye would inevitably have seen the appropriateness of flannel shirt, boots, spurs fcay silk and ehaparreras. Pierre was entirely unaware of being Interesting or different. At that moment, caught up in the action of the play, he was as outside of himself as a child. The palms of stage-lan- d stirred, the ferns swayed ; between their tall, vivid greenness came Joan with her tread and grace and watchful eyes of a leopardess, her loose, wild hair decked with flowers: these and her make-u- p and her thinness disguised her completely from Pierre, but again his heart came to his throat and, when she put her hands up to her mouth and called, his pulses gave a leap. He shut his eyes. He remembered a voice calling him In to supper. e He could sniff the smoke of his cabin fire. He opened his eyes. Of course she wasnt Joan, this strange, gaunt creature. Besides, his wife could never have done what this woman was doing. Why, Joan couldnt talk like this, she couldnt act to save her soul! She was ns simple s os a child, and shy, with the shyness of wild things. To was makbe sure, this actress-lad- y ing believe she was a wild thing, and she was doing it almighty well, but Joan had been the reality, and grave and still, part of his own big, grave mountain country, not a fierce, animal of the tropics. Pierre lived In the play with all but one fragment of his brain, and that remembered Joan. It hurt like a hot coal, but he deliberately Ignored the pain of it. He followed the action breathlessly, ppplauded with contagious fervor, surreptitiously rid himself of tears, and yiien. In the last scene, the angry, jealous woman sprang upon her tamer, he 'muttered, Serve you right, you coyp ote with, an oath of the that made one of his neighbors Jump pnd throttle a startled laugh.

Two iron bars, having holes at their free ends, are attached to the upper extremity of the bronze; a quudilateral piece of iron found near the position of the foot is thought to have given strength to it. There Is no trace of the foot, and the wooden core had nearly crumbled away. The skeleton had its waist surrounded by a belt of sheet bronze edged with small rivets, probably used to fasten a leather lining. Three painted vases lay at the feet of the skeleton.

She didn't know him. Was he changed so greatly? Or was the change in her so enormous that it had disassociated her completely from her old life, from him? He kept repeating to himself Ilolliwell's stern,, admonishing speech : However changed for the worse she may be when you do find her, Pierre, you must remember that It is your fault, your sin. You must not judge tier, must not dare to Judge her. Judge yourself. Condemn yourself. It is for her to forgive If she can bring herself to do It. So now Pierre fought down his suspicions and his fears. He had not recognized Prosper. The man who had come In out of the white night, four years ago, had worn his cap low over his eyes, his collar turned up about his face, and, even at that, Pierre, In his drunken stupor, had not been able to see him very clearly. Tills Prosper Gael who had stood behind the footlights, this Prosper Gael at whom Joan, for some unknown cause, had sprung like a woman maddened by Injury, was a person entirely strange to Pierre. But Pierre hated him. The man had done Joan some Insufferable mischief, which at the last had driven her beside herself. Pierre put up a hand, pressing it against his eyes. He wanted to shut out the picture of that struggling girl with her torn dress and the double scar across her shoulder. If It hadnt been for the scar he would never have known her his Joan, his gentle, silent Joan I What had they been doing to her to change her so? No, not they. He. He had changed her. He had branded her and driven her out. It was his fault. He must try to find her again, to find the old Joan if she should live. The doctor had said that she was desperately 111. O God I What was keeping him so long? thy didnt he come? The arrival of the trained nurse distracted Pierre for a few moments. She went past him In her gray cloak, very quiet and earnest, and the elevator lifted her out of sight. Were you In the theater tonight?" asked the girl at the desk, seeing that he was temporarily aware of her again. Yes, unself-c-onselou- 1 that he was aware of her scrutiny. Ills eyes looked through his surroundings to Joan. He saw her In every She was puzzled by his appearance and the fashion of his speech. He must be a gentleman, she thought, for his bearing was gentle and assured and but he wore his clothes differently and spoke differently from other gentlemen. That Yes, maam, especially disturbed her. Then she remembered a novel site had read and her mind Jumped to a conclusion. She leaned forward. Say, arent you from the West?" Ii-err- e! 1 PACKAGES EVERYWHERE to falter as though the sensitive mind of the crowd was already aware that here something must be wrong. She came very slowly, her arms hanging, her head bent, her eyes looking up from under her brows, and she stood beside Prosper Gael, whose forced smile had stiffened on his lips. He looked at her in obvious fear, as a man might look at a dangerous madwoman. There must have been madness in her eyes. She stood there for a strange, terrible moment, moving her head slightly from side to side. Then she said something in a very low tone. Because of the extraordinary carrying quality of her voice the question was heard by everyone there present : You wrote the play? You wrote the play? She said It twice. She seemed to quiver, to gather herself together, her hands bent, her arms lifted. She flew at Prosper .with all the sudden strength of her Insanity. There was an outcry, a confusion. People rushed to Gaels assistance. Men caught hold of Joan, now struggling frantically. It was a dreadful sight, mercifully a brief one. She collapsed utterly, fell forward, the strap of her gown breaking In the grasp of one of the men who held her. For an Instant everyone In the audience saw a strange double scar that ran across her shoulder to the edge of the shoulder-bladIt was like two bars. Pierre got to his feet, dropped back, and hid his face. Then he was up, and struggling past excited people down the row, out Into the aisle, along it, hurrying blindly down unknown passages till somehow he got himself Into that confused labyrinth behind the scenes. Here a pale, distracted scene-shiftInformed him that Miss West had already been taken home.
