From that moment I bad to b very firm with Zoe. She guessed something was up, but said nothing. Fortunately she had to go out of town for a few weeks. I bade her good-bye. She was fearfully cut up and Ewore eternal faith and all that" "And what next?" "Nothing till this afternoon this very afternoon. Brooke." Crawley shivered and swept his long white band across his eyes. "It was a hideous business. I shall never get over it. She came here. It was about 4 o'clock. She was fearfully excited and overwrought, and altogether hysterical. She knew that I was going to Paris tomorrow for a few days, and she begged me to take her with me. She said that she could not live without me, and all that sort of thing, and that she would be anything, be my slave, do anything if I would take her away. I reminded her of her husband. It was weak, I know, because I never believed and don't believe now that there ever was a husband." To Be Continued.

FUMES OF SULPHUR OVERCOME WOMAN FIGHTING OFF GRIP

CRETE, Ind., Jan. 29. Mrs. Nicholas Heniza of Arba died last night. She and Mrs. Heniza both were suffering from grip. On retiring Sunday night they put some sulphur on the stove as a disinfectant. Late in the night Mr. Heniza was awakened by the fumes and was so overcome he could hardly get to the door to call for help. A physician's aid rallied Mrs. Heniza, but she did not recover sufficiently to withstand the shock. She lingered in a weakened condition until last night.

SYNOPSIS. Noel Crawley, a successful painter, in London, has painted the portrait of a beautiful woman whom he knows enly as Zoe. She appears after his engagement is announced and tries io hill htT63lf in Mb studio. Finally she leaves Bwearing she will commit suicide the day he marries. After she goes Crawley has a visit from Godfrey Brooke, traveler, financier and empire builder, just back from Africa. Brooke and he had been good friends when both were poor in Paris. Brooke had married Diana Melhuish, and after two years' abrence was now on the way to his

country house to see the bride he had

left. Crawley tells Brooke all about Zoe, and Brooke persuades him to come to the country with him. They drink to the health of Brooke's wife.

(By CORALIE STANTON and HEATH HOSKEN.) "Without a doubt." "Married?" "I don't know or care. She says she is. She never mentions him. I don't suppose he exists. She was only Zoe to me. You understand?" Perfectly," said Brooke, with a bland smile. "Go on; the story is most interesting." Crawley frowned. "I wish to Heaven I'd never met the woman," he exclaimed savagely. "It looks to me very much as if she's going to make a mess of. my life for me." "So far," said Brooke, "it looks to me very much as if you're making a very great fuss about nothing That sort of woman isn't worth a thought. But continuez. mnn ami. She came, she saw, she conquered eh? And you painted her portrait?" "Painted her portrait! Heavens, I've been doing little else but paint and draw her ever since." "The deuce you have!" Brooke smiled again. "And may I ask what Miss Warren says to this?" Crawley frowned, "I wish." he said irritably, "you would leave Miss Warren's name out of this conversation. As a matter of fact, Eva Warren had not come into my life at all at the time about, which I am speaking; and you may believe me or not, but I never knew what love was until I met Eva. As for the rest ugh! I wish I could wipe it clean out." "A lot of us wish that, my son," said Brooke. "But, go on and tell me how the affair of Zoe. the superbly beautiful, progressed." "It's an awkward thing to say," Crawley continued, "and it sounds c mceited and a bit mean; but the fact remains,, she literally flung herself at me, though I still affirm that to me personally she was a perfect model. Nothing more. To me she was and always will be. a beautiful picture, a rare work of Nature, the highest expression of female loveliness. Do you understand?" Brooke nodded. What he thought, or understood he kept to himself. At First He Thought She Was Ordinary. "At first I thought she was an ordinary woman. She gave me two or three sittings in the ordinary way; but 1 very soon discovered that she didn't care a rap about the picture. We became friends, and she used to come in here at any time of the day or night and just do what she liked." "Was she extravagant?" asked Brooke, foY, so far, he had not found a satisfactory solution to Crawley's acute depression of spirit. So far the story was most ordinary. He knew of half a dozen other affairs of precisely the same nature where Crawley was concerned..

"I've never given her a penny," said J

Crawley. "That's one of the strange things about her. She- would never take a present of any sort." "Extraordinary woman!" said Brooke. "Obviously she was very well off," said Crawley. "Where did she live?" "Don't even know," replied the artist. "She used to like playing at the game of mystery. She was just Zoe to me Zoe and nothing more. Mark you, Brooke she was a most brilliant woman. She had traveled and read and she could talk well. She spoke two or three languages. She played and sang divinely. Many -a time she has sat over there at my piano and sung little Fier.ch and German songs to me by the hour together. And yet well, she sat to me for my 'Circe.' " "Haven't seen it," said Brooke. "Where is it?" "I sold it last week to Leverdge. Got a thousand down for it. That picture is going to make me. It will be exhibited at the Leveredge Gallery in Bond street next week. Admission one shilling. So you'll be able to look in and see it. Yes, she's my 'Circe.' Well, things went on more or less in the same way. She went away sometimes for a week or two and I never heard from her; but never for long. "Of course I liked her in a way, you know in a certain way. She was so beautiful, and I love all beautiful things; and then she was such a charming companion; and altogether there was an air of danger and romance about it all which appealed to me strongly. Personally, though, I should have been quite content to regard her as a model, as a beautiful picture or anything you like; but no man can hold out long if a woman makes a dead set at him as Zoe did. She was a regular furnace of passion. And so humble. I tell you, Brooke, she would have laid down at my feet and let me kick her if I wanted to. She used to tell me that all she wanted

was to sit in that studio and watch

me work.

"Of course I made love to her after a fashion. I should have been more than human had I not. I said all sorts

of foolish things some incredibly fool

ish things, some of them I dare say

meant at the time who knows? I'm

a fearful fool. She used to swear to me that I was the only man in her life, and that she belonged to me body

and soul, and all that."

"Pcor woman!" said Broone gently

"It seems to me. Crawley, that you

weren't doing quite the right thing.'

"Don't mince matters," said Craw

ley bitterly. "I was a cad."

"Yes; I think you were. But what

happened ?"

era v i ey : Drugged his thin shoulders

"Oh, Heaven knows. I used to tell her I loved her, I suppose. In fact, I was too serious; but then she was such a

woman! Then well, then I met Eva.'

She Was Merely a Beautiful Mode. "So you dropped 'Circe,' I suppose?

"Not altogether," answered Craw

ley. "I couldn't. Besides she wouldn'

be dropped. And then, you know

there was the picture. I had to finish

that. So, as far as I was concerned

she merely occupied her original place

in my mind a beautiful model. "Did you tell her so?" "Not in so many words."

"Or tell her anything about Miss

Warren?

"No. Why should I? She lived in a

different world. I never discussed my

private affairs with her. She never dis

cussed hers. We made a sort of

world of our own." "I know those exclusive worlds,

said Brooke, cynically. "They are of

ten very difficult to get out of. How

ever"

"A few days ago," Crawley went on
