Surely she had pride enough to hold

She returned to her bedroom and
sat down In rhe chair in Tront of her
dressing table In the mirror she
saw herself, all in black with >her
white pearls and her white face. She
had a feeling that the reflection was
not her own. not the Joan Dudley
who had tnught school and faced
hardships, heen broken-hearted. This
was. rather, a changeling heiress,
owner of this great house, mistress
of millions, a woman whose hand

of her possessions.

She went to the door. Listened

the echo of Drew's voice: “Joan.
Jban."
With all the strength that was in
hor she fought against the insistence
of that ghostly summons. How silly
to go down and find nothing. Drew
was, undoubtedly, in bed. Everybody
was In bed. Her sense of being
railed was simply a hallucination.
Yet she found herself presently in
the hall, descending the stairs.
Lights were burning below. The
stairway was an imposing one. curv
ing from the second floor, with
statues in niches along the way. and

It was heavily carpeted with velvet
and Joan's steps were noiseless The
pearls which still hung about her
neck made a gentle clicking as they
swung against s small jet buckle
which fastened her dress. The
SECURITY

When she reached, finally, the Hrst
floor, she stood very still. then moved
on like a person In a dream to the
dim drawing room. Tjte glow ot the
Chinese lamp made a great moon on
the well behind It. Joan found her
seli walking towards that moon And
then, suddenly. 8 voice said. “My

beside th.e lamp

Her voice was cold and self-con

But he would not let her go. He
dropped a hand on her shoulder and
held her. "Do you mean that you

She tried to meet his eyes and
could not to "“ay. boldly. “It's all
over . . But she knew it was not

Far back in the hall the telephone

answering presently: “Miss Dudley?

He released her, and she went into
the hall: “I’m here. Jason."
Drew, listening, heard her say: l

ceiver as she hung It up. In a mo
ment she would Hy back to him. He
woulo not keep her long. He knew
now what he had wanted to know.
That he could ■“till play upon her
emotions, and that she cared
It was not Joan, however, who ap
peared presently between the velvet
curtains, but Jason: “Miss Joan
to|d me to say she had gone upstairs.
She will see yon in the morning."
Joan, running swiftly and silently
up rhe stairs had a wild sense of
escapes. If Giles Armiger had not
been moved in some miraculous way
to telephone her at thai moment, she
might have promised Drew —any-
thing.
And she had am wanted to proiti
ise She had been like a bird ivonM
by the fowler's pine. 'My sweet, riiy
sweet." Safe in her room, she .shut
her door and stood with her hand on
her heart. Giles Artnfaer had saved

quite simply and naturally, ne had

she believe that lie was always, her
f riend ?
There had been no more than
that. Yet as she had listened, some,
thing of her old faith in him had re
viyed—there had returned to her rhe
sense ot peace which his presence
had always brought For a moment
she bad forgotten rhe things which
had separated them in the days since
she had sought his advice in rhe dim
hooks'roj And when rhe brief con
versntion was over, she ha/1 given
Jason rhe message, and bad fled from
Drew.
When she reached her room, she
found herself trembling Where was
Drew? What was he thinking 0 Had
he come upstairs? She listened at
rhe door unril she heard the muffled
sound ot his footsteps on the thick
carpet After that she undressed,
and putting on a padded dressing
gown, eqrled up in the window seat.
She searched in her shabby old Bible
for the verse Giles had chosen for
her . for in the time of trouhle
he shall hide me . in the secret
of bis tabernacle shall he hide me
he shall set me' upon a
rock . . and as she read, it seemed

With the tittle book on her tail,
she looked out of the-window. The
snow was falling heavily She
thought ot Adelaide asleep under that
white blanket. Yet only the frail old
body lay beneath that pall, some
where Adelaide's thwarted soul waa
finding rest and fulfillment.
Adelaide hart lived and loved, and
now it was all over. Some day it
would be all over for herself and
Giles and Drew. As she crept into
bed. Joan felt very young, very help
less. very unequal to all that was
before her. Yet she fell asleep c-orh

is regarded as a part of the g e !T

employee has the authority to Whi

While it is agreed that the handling
of 500 beys ranging from eight to 15
years ox age is a difficult ¥ask, espe
cially when all of these boys are re
garded as being “bad” ana were com
mitted to the school bjj the courts
there is a feeling in many quarters
here that since the State has banned
the use of the lash in all convict
camps and has not found it necessary
in handling prisoners, that it should
not be necessary to whip these
younger boys, even if they are in a re
form school.
