"Suppose the likeness should leak

Loder huurhnl confidently. "Tub,

the men you work with." He rose,
walked across the room and took his
I lpe from the rack. "When I ir-i In

Ills pipe tilled, he resumed Ills '

"By .love!" he said, with a tretful
mixture of disappointment and sur
prise. "I hadn't noticed that!" Ills
eyes were fixed in annoyed Interest on
Loder's extended hand.
Loiter, following his glance, smiled.
"Odd that we should both have over
looked It! It clean escaped my mind.
U'h rather an ugly scar." He lifted
his hand till the light tell more lully
on It. Above tho second Joint of the
third finger ran a Jagged furrow, the
I reminder of a wound that had once
laid bare the bone.
Ohllcote leaned forward. "How did
you come by It'?" he asked.
Tho other shrugged bis shoulders
"Oh, that's nudum history."
"The result h are present day enough.
It's very awkward, very annoying!"
I.oder, still looking at his hand, didn't
seem to hear. "There's only one thing
to be done." he said. "Each wear two
rings on the third finger of the left
hand. Two rings ought to cover it."
He made n speculative measurement
with tliu stem of his pipe.
Chllcoto looked Irritable and disturb
ed. "I detest rings. I never wear
rings."
Loder raised his eyes calmly. "Nei
ther do I," he said, "but thuru's no rea
son for bigotry."
Rut Chllcote's Irritability was start
ed. He pushed back ills chair. "I don't
like the Idea," he said.
The other eyed him amusedly. "What
n queer beggar you are!" ho said. "You
waive the danger of a man signing
your checks and shy at wearing a piece
of jewelry. I'll have u fair share of in
dlvhluallty to study."
Chilcote moved restlessly. "Every
body knows I detest Jewelry."
"Everybody knows you are capri
cious. It's got to be the rings or noth
ing, so far us I make out."
Chllcoto again altered his position,
avoiding the other's eyes. At last, aft
er a struggle with himself, he looked
up.
"I sunnnse you're right!" he said.
"Have it your own way." It was the
first small, tangible eouceaslon to tho
stronger will.
Loder took his victory quietly,
"(iood!" be said. "Then it's nil straight
Bailing?"
"Except for the matter of the the re
muneiMtlon." Chllcoto hazarded the
word uncertainly.
There was a faint pause; then Loder
laughed brusquely. "My pay?"
The other was embarrassed. "I didn't
want to put It quite like that."
T.ut that was what you thought.
Why are you never honest oven with
yourself V"
Chilcote drew his chair closer to llio
table. Ho did not attend to the other'8
remark, but bis fingers strayed to his
waistcoat pocket and fumbled-there.
Loder saw tho gesture "Look hero,"
he said, "you are overtaxing yourself.
The affair of the pay Isn't pressing.
We'll shelvo It to another night. You
look tired out."
Chllcoto lifted his eyes with a ro
Ik'M'd glance. "Thanks. I do feel a
bit fagged. If I may, I'll have that

Ills bend was bent and his hand
moved carefully as he traced line ni'.cr
line of meaningless words on a r t"t
of foolscap. Having covered the p.tge
with writing, he roe. moved to tho
center table and compared lii.i t.Hs
with an open letter that lay there. The
oo upniifton s'-emed to please him. lie
straightened his shoulders and threw
back lih he-id In an i.i:'mde of critic il
satisfaction. So absorbed was he t'vt
when a stop sounded on tho stairs out
side ho di.l not notice It, and only
raised his head when the door wos
thrown open unceremoniously. Even
then his interest was momentary.
"Ilel'.o!" he said, Ids eyes returning
to their sciutiny of ids task.
Chilcote shut the door and came has
tily across the room. lie looked 111 and
h,ira"cd. As he reached Loder he put
out his baud nervously and touched his
arm.
Lnrt-M- looked up. "What Is It?" he
asked. "Any new development?"
Chilcote tried to smile. "Yes," he
said huskily. "It's come."
Loder freed his arm. "What? The
end of the world?"
"No. The end of me." Tho words
came jerkily, the strain that had en
forced them showing in every syllable.
Still Loder was uiicomprohendh.g.
lie could not or would not understand.
Ag.iln Clutcoto caught aud jerked at
his sleeve. "Don't you see? Can't you
see?"
"No."
Chllcoto dropped tho Fleovo aud pass
ed his .handkerchief acro-s his fo-o-hoad.
"It's come," he repeated. "Don't
you understand? 1 want you." lie
drew away, then stepped back again
anxiously. "I know I'm taking you un
awares," he said. "Rut it's not my
fault. On my soul, It's not! Thu thing
seems to spring at me and grip me'
He stopped, sinking weakly Into a
chair.
For a moment Loder stood erect and
immovable. Then, almost with roluc-
tanco, his glance turned to the figure
beside him.
"You want mo to take your place to
night, without preparation?" Ills voice
was distinct and firm, but It was free
from contempt.
"Yes; yes, 1 do." Chilcote spoke with
out looking up.
"That you may spend the night In
morphia this and other nights?"
Chilcote lifted a Hushed, unsettled
face. "You have no right to preach.
You accepted the bargain."
Loder raised his head quickly. "I
never" he began. Then both his face
and voice altered. "You are quite
right," he said coldly. "You won't have
to complahragaln."
Chllcoto stirred uncomfortably. "My
dear chap," he said, "I meant no of
fense. It's merely"
"Your nerves. I know. I'.ut come to
buslnos. What am I to do?"
Chilcote rose excitedly. "Yes, busi
ness. Let's come to business. It's
rough on you, taking you short like
this. Hut you have an erratic person
to deal with. I've had a horrible day
a hor.lMc day." Ills face had paled
again, and In the green lamplight It
po-soKcd a grayish hue. Involuntari
ly Loder turned uway.
Chik'ute watched him as he passed
to the desk and bc'an mechanically
sorting papers. "A horrible day," he
repeated. "&o bad that I daren't face
the night. You have read Do Quln

of tone.
"Yes."
"Then read him again aud you'll un
