lie looked up. "At her wish, I de
si roved it."
'You did!" I exclaimed, all the
journalist in vine on edge. "Well,. if
!V:;i really w - as a reproduction of Delor
;■;. niel's I can only say it is a great jrity.";
" w Me tossed off another glass:- 0 "Xo, '.»
"axton had never seen Delormel's °
••. book." - •;:'" " \ '."•>" ." •'
.'"••, "Then it was a translation of the
esoteric manuscripts on which Delor
mel's book was founded?" 0
"No, Caxton had never seen them
either."
"Hut," I "protested, "if Caxton's
book was not derived from Delormel's
it must at least have come from the
same source."
"So it did."
•"Well, then!"
"But that source is the fourth di
. mension.." . '
"Nonsense,"" [ was sufficiently un
civil to exclaim. "The fourth dimen
sion is merely a mathematical hy
pothesis,"
He blinked at me. "To the mathe
matician, certainly. But not to the
mystic. To the latter it is an actual
plane in which any one may function,
only to do so presupposes a develop
ment of the inner senses which en
ables the percipient to respond to
other vibrations and, in so doing, to
cognize matters to which the rest of
us are blind. That is what Sweden- _
borg did, what Delormel did; Caxton '
as well. Caxton saw the past and the
future. But it was too much for him."
It was too much for me. Steadily
Mores had been drinking, quite as
though the bottle were his own, and,
though I did not in the least object to
that, I wondered . could the liquor
have gone to his head.
"Yes," he resumed, "narcosis re
sulted and death ensued."
"You did not advance that at the
trial," I got in at him.
"m -..
- r, XCITEDLY, with a gesture, he par
*-* ried the thrust. "It would have
been very foolish of me if I had. What
jury would accept such a story?
Even otherwise I did not know of it.
At the time I did not know what had
caused Caxton's death. Afterward I
believed that Sherwood was right. I
believed that it was venom that killed
him. In any event I know now that it
was that which killed her, or rather I
know that I was the viper. Yes, for
my eternal perdition, that is the
truth. A woman gentler than Judith
never lived. At first to be but near
her was rapture to me. But, as you
will realize, the trial had put its mark
on her. Vibrant and supersensitive as
she was, what else could one expect ?
The strain of the proceedings, the hor
ror of them all, were such that when
she put her hand in mine, it was as
though she were a child, beaten and
abused, who turned to any one, even
to a stranger, for protection. But I!
I misunderstood. I thought it was
not only her hand but her heart she
was giving me. Yet what heart could
'she have had save one too battered
and broken to respond to any throbs
. of mine? I did not appreciate that.
What I began to appreciate was Sher
wood's arraignment in which he pic
tured her as insatiable of pleasure
and, in pursuit of it, hesitating at.
nothing, even at crime. It seemed to
me that if she did not care for me, she
might treat me as perhaps she had
treated Caxton. In my cups I said as
much and it was that that killed her.
There are men who in their cups be
come rascals, rascals do you hear me?
" And in my cups, my conduct was such

• It trailed away. Mores, his mouth
half open, was staring, not at me, but
over and beyond, and in pitying him
the tortures of his unavailing re- ,
■ morse, I pitied too the fair and
wretched creature who had been har
ried, and doubly harried, to her death.
"The motor has come," some one
suddenly and sharply called. "Why
are n't you ready?"
I turned. In the doorway behind
me was the woman whom I had seen
earlier that day. She was tall, stout,
veiled as before,
• i As she spoke, she strode toward us,
. I stood ii|i. Mores did also. _' !-:"..'•• :' ; ;.y-\

told her. \>\ •>•}' v .I s ;)• .;''."
liut the woman mail 'have noticed,
the bottle, for at once she angrily ad
dressed me. "You have been enter
taining my husband and I had or
dered, I had given strict instruc
tions —" *
"Your husband!" 1 exclaimed. I
looked about. Mores had sidled away.
"I thought — he told me—"
She cut me short. "He has been
romancing as usual I suppose. That
is your fault. Since the panic he has
not been what he was and, ii he
drinks, he don't know what he says
and doesn't care. For (hat reason I
had arranged that he was not to have
anything."
"I am sorry," I said. "I did not
know. I have not teen him for a long
lime, not since a trial in which —"
I got no further. She had raised
her veil and at sight of her face I
gasped. " It was the face of a woman
vulgar and obese, a face that time had
coarsened and temper had marred, yet
one which none the less instantly I
recognized and it was then that I
gasped.
There, metamorphosed, I judged, by
Mores; deteriorated, I could but as
sume, by his atmosphere; transformed
by association with him from phan
tom into ogress; there, with his own
bulldog look in her eye, before me
Judith ('axton stood.
A moment only. Abruptly the veil
fell. With a toss of the head, she
turned, while I, astoundedly, beneath
my breath, exclaimed:
"0 temporal 0 lores!"
1 found but that. Yet later on, dur
ing the evening, when I had had a
glass or three of Sham Shoo, slowly
but surely I began to appreciate what
visions may come, not merely from
Benares and the fourth dimension, but
also and particularly from the wines
of Cathay.

A NEW kind of animal story is just
/* about the rarest and most coveted
thing that a magazine can obtain, and
who but Charles G. L). Roberts could
have made an enraged bull elk and an
equally irate panther so tremendously
funny as are the two dueling forest
lords in Hoof and Claw — a thrilling
serio-humorous feature of the next
Semi-Monthly Magazine? The author
of The Watchers of the Trails and
other animal story classics has fairly
eclipsed himself with this stirring
tale of the Great North Woods.
MOT so funny, but just as interest-
ing and full of life, is a big-busi
ness article, Landing the Big Job, in
which Cromwell Childe tells how
$: , .0,000 to $50,000 jobs go begging
sometimes and how some of them are
landed.
MO matter whether you read the
>\ first adventure of Clare Kendall,
Woman Detective, entitled .4 Skir
mish With the Occult, published in
the ;'.; Semi-Monthly.-,- Magazine two
weeks ago, you will simply revel in
her second adventure, The Pearl Doc
tor, which Arthur B. Reeve contrib
utes to the next number. That is, if
you are fond of reading a real, live,
rousing detective yarn, and who is
not?

miniature love story to be appreciated
by any man or woman who has ever
fallen in love. A Semi-Monthly Mag
azine cover is something original
and distinctive — designed to tell a
story after your own heart. And His
