On her way upstairs she usedher pocket handkerchief. Her brotherKarcl whs nleek and pink nnd calm. liedyed his mustache. Noticing her tun-brel-

he n.kel her to put It outside In

the pnxsafie. "It s so wet," he said. Sheput It outside. Not that the members ofthe Van lowo family went particularlyamiable nr disposed to be nice to oneanother. On the contrary, It was theirhabit to be at odds. They felt antipa-thies nmnnc themselves. They werewatchful, cautious, not affectionate."Dorlne, please, would you mind leavingthe paperweight alone?" Dorlne was ofn nervous habit. She had been fiddlingwith the p.ipcrwelsht. It Is not indi-

cated that Mu was obstinate or per-

verse. She seems to have refrainedfrom her thoughtless llnnermi; of thepaperweight at her brother's request.Knrel askvd her to slay to dinner. Heput it In this way when the gongBounded: "I supiKxe you won't stay,Dorlne? I don't think there's much.Cat rati and 1 always dine so pimjily."Dorlno did not stay. She went back toher boarding house.

They had no chil-dren.

Vcs, a good dinner. If tho readerwishes for proof here is a brief passage.With the conscientious rcahm thatmarks all the story it is related: "Theyboth feasted dally. And at their mealsthey would exchange a glance of Intel-ligence, us , though relishing somevoluptuous moment of mutual gratifica-tion because everything was good.Koftly smacking their lips they drank agood glass of good red wine.

Then they wentInto the sitting room nnd sat down ntthe round table with their hands foldedin their laps to d.gest in mlence. Karel,for appearance's ale, would undo theparcel from the circulating library. Nowand again they looked at each other.reflecting coniiilifcentlv that Anna had i
