TDANSOM had quite determined to
kill himself, and he was not act
ing under the pressure of Impulse. He
wns simply tired of living. Quite
calmly and deliberately he made his
arrangements.
The only thing he had had to hold
him to life for years past had been
his infatuation for Claire Richmond,
the beautiful actress. Claire was as
cold as she wns prudent. She posed
as one whose mission it was to ele
vate the tone of the stage. No breath
of scandul hud ever tarnished her
name.
She certainly had treated Ransom
badly. For two years he had wooed
her, and she had hung fire, deliber
ating. Ransom had plenty of money;
but In the end she decided that he
would not do. When Claire mnrrled
she meant to get a man who could
give her professional and social ad
vancement. The cold, deliberate way in which
sh finally discarded him filled him
with a bitter hatred against the beau
tiful actress. True, Hhe still repre
sented the unattainable In ills eyes.
Without her he still felt life to be
valueless. Rut his great longing was
mingled with a great hate, and a re
solve to drag her down with him. to
be avenged in death.
Ho knew (hat lie could strike her
oniy iiirough her reputation, that she
had so carefully built up as a busi
ness asset her reputation fur moral
Integrity. Once that was gone, Claire
Richmond was linished. And that was
what he meant to destroy.
He planned to commit suicide In
her apartment.
He had not: been there, had not
seen her for months, hut he had once
had a key made secretly, with the
feeling that It gave lilni a more Inti
mate relationship with her. Of course
Claire had not known when lie pur
loined her key for a few hours. It
had been a foolish act, but be still
had the key. He could turn It to good
account. Easy to slip in one evening
when Claire was at the theater. He
would telephone night after night
that would arouse no suspicion, for
people were always ringing up Claire
night after night until the maid
failed to answer. Then lie would
know that the apartment was empty.
Claire would come back nnd find him
dead. Ransom chuckled over the scan
dal that would follow.
He telephoned only twice before the
night arrived on which h? obtained
no answer. Mo went up to the apart
ment house, avoided (he negro boy In
the hallway, and walked up tho stairs.
Claire's apartment was on the sev
enth tloor. lie opened the door.
How strange it was to find himself
alone In her apartment! Cor a few
moments the old, desperate longing
for her overcame him again. There
was Hie old sense of personal In
timacy In 1 he sight of her belongings,
her hooks, I lie III He articles of adorn
meat, the photographs of celebrities,
lie sat down In the large, roomy chair
In the living room, lie remained ab
sorbed in thought for a long time, hut
he never repenled of bis decision. lie
chuckled 11s he thought of Claire's
approaching downfall.
Rut the sound of a key In the lock
nt nn early hour startled him. Tt wns
the imild returning. Hastily he con
cealed himself In a large closet.
Through the crack of this he saw the
girl enter the room, look about her,
touch 11 few things, and go out again.
She had gone to bed. (iood ! Ran
som drew the Utile phial from his
pocket. That meant death In three
minutes. Hut he must swallow It as
Claire cimie along lu passage there
must just he time to let her know
what he hud done, lie must have the
gratification of seeing bis revenge
before he died.
And mentally he pictured Claire's
astonishment, her terror; then he saw
himself Ijlng dead on the tloor, the
police called in. And he pictured nil
tlie scandul of the next day, the large
newspaper headlines, the public, snig
gering over the downfall of their
Idol. . . .
She was coming. Hastily lie un
corked the phial, raised It to his lips,
and swallowed the contents. The
slightly bitter taste was not unpleas
ant, lie rose to his feet.
The pels, in wns very strong, for al
ready a niNt was (inhuming before his
e,es. Now she was In the room, lie
-.r.v her im-d, adily ; and In a few hit
ter words he blurted out the tale of
Ids revenge.
The mists cleared for a moment
Tills was not CI. lire. Who was she?
I "holy there tillered Into his mind the
knowledge that lie had been cheated
somehow. What was she saying? lie
heard and understood as he collapsed
In death.
"Miss Richmond rented thl
nient to me for the summer."

NOT MUCH CHANGE IN WORLD
Recent Flnda In England Show That
Aneienta Had Knowledge of
Thingi We Call Modern.
When the Romans were in Britain
they drove one of their firm, well
paved, lasting roads diagonally right
across England from the Kentish coast
to the Dee, taking in London on Us
way.
That sea-to-sea thoroughfare was a
busy scene 1,800 years ago. Civiliza
tion gathered along It. Now the road
is being excavated and widened or re
made as one of the great motor roads,
and the digging that Is going on,
as nearly 2,000 men labor to give the
old route a new life, reveals some curi
ous proofs of how little change has
taken place in some of the habits of
the people.
In that far-off time, for Instance,
near Southfleet In Kent, a little Roman
or British girl became the proud pos
sessor of a cup on which her name
was scratched, AMADA. How It came
to be burled whole nobody can say,
but burled It was, for it has been un
earthed by the workers who are widen
ing old Watling street,
Many other relics are being brought
to light. Fragments of pottery, whole
vessels like Amada's cup, some with
the potter's name impressed on them,
querns, or hand mills, for grinding
corn, terra-cot ta lamps, bronze ping,
and coin?.
At Dartford a bronze brooch has been
found In such a perfect slate of pres
ervation that after 1,800 years It could
be used today for its original purpose.
The point of the pin falls Into a socket,
as with a modern safety-pin, and
shows that our ways and those of our
forefathers are very near.
