If you do not credit what I sav, come with me and lie present at the little talk I hope to have with that curmudgeon.” “You forget,” aald Master Godol phln, “that I, too, have interests in the neighborhood of Smlthick, and that vou are hurting those." "Soho!” crowed Sir Oliver. "Now at last the sun of truth peeps forth from all this cloud of righteous in dignation at my bad Tressilian blood and pirate's ways! You, too. are but a trafficker. Now see what a fool am I to have believed you sincere, and to have stood here in talk with you as with an honest man. " His voice swelled and his lip curled In a contempt that struck the other like a blow. "I swear I had not wasted breath with you had I known you for so mean and pitiful a fellow." "These words. . .” began Master Godolphln. drawing himself up very stiffly. "Are a dealleaa than your deeerts,” cut In the other, and he raised his voice to call—"Nick.” "You shall answer to them,” snap ped hla visitor. "I am answering now.” wu the stern answer. '“To come here and prate to me of my dead father’s dis soluteness and of an ancient quarrel between him and yours, to bleat of my trumped-up course of piracy and my own ways of life as a just cause why I may not wed your sister, whilst the real consideration in your mind, the real spur to your hostility Is no more than the matter of some few paltry potitids a year that I hinder you from pocketing. A God's name# get you rone." Nick entered at that moment. "You shall hear from me again. Sir Oliver," said the other, white with anger "You shall account to me for these words " "I do not fight with. . .with hucksters.'' flashed Sir Oliver. "D' ye dare call me that?” "Indeed, 't la to discredit an hon orable class. I confess it. Nick, the door for Master Godolphln." ^ CHAPTER II. Rosamund. Anon, after his visitor had departed, Sir Oliver grew calm again. Then be ing able In hla calm to consider hia position, he became angry anew at the very thought of the rage In which he had been, a rags which had so mastered him that he erected addi tional obstacles to the already con siderable ones that stood between Rosamund’and himself. In full blast, his anger awung round and took Sir John Kllllgrew for its objective. He would settle with him at once. He would so, by Haven't light! He bellowed for Hick and hla boots. "Where is Master Lionel?’ ' he asked when the boots had been fetched. "He be Just ridden In. Sir Oliver. "Bid him hither." Promptly. In answer to that sum mons. came Sir Oliver's half brother —a slender lad favoring his mother, the dissolute Jlalph Tressilian s second wife He was as unllka Sir Oliver In body as in soul. Ha was comely In ay very gentle, almost womanish way; hla complexion was fair and delicate, hla hair golden, and hia eves of a deep blue. Ha had a very charming stripling grace—for he was but In his 21st year—and he dressed with all the cars of a court gallant. "Has that whelp Godolphln been to visit vou?” he asked as he entered. "Aye," growled Sir Oliver. “He came to tell me some things and to hear some other in return." "Ha. I passed him Just beyond the gates, and he was deaf to my greetings. 'T is a most cursed In sufferable pup." “Art a Judge of men. I4U. Sir Oliver stood up booted. "I am for Arwenack to exchange a compliment or two with Sir John." His tight pressed lip* and resolute sir supplemented his words so well that Lionel clutched his srm. "You're not . . . you're not . . . ?" "I am." And affectionately, as If to soothe the lad's obvious alarm, he patted hla brother's shoulder. "Sir John," he explained, “talks too much. 'T Is a fault that wants correcting. 1 go to teach him the virtue of si ience."

I.e sought to put so detestable a refle tion from his mind: but It returned insistently. It would not be denied. It forced him to a consideration of his own circumstance*. a All that he had he owed to h i brother's bounty. That dissolute fat er of theirs had died as such men commonly die, leaving behind him heavily encumbered estates and man debta; the very bouae of Penarrov. w-a* mortgaged, and the money* raised on it had been drunk, or gambled, o spent on one or another of Ralph Tressilian’s many lights o' love. Then Oliver had Bold *om# little proper near Heleton. Inherited from hie mothaj er; he had *unk the money into a ven^touj ture upon the Spanleh Main. He had fitted out and manned a chip, and had sailed with Hawklne upon one of those ventures, which Sir John Killigrew wae perfectly entitled to account pirate raids. He had returned with enough plunder in specie and gem to disencumber the Tressilian patn mony. He had sailed again and re turned still wealthier. And mean while. - Lionel had remained at homo taking hla ease.

A woman in a glittering black dress was dancing when the light* were dimmed. Suddenly her curly black hair seemed to glow with a phosphoric iridescence. It was a sort of greenish, silvery halo—weird and rather breath taking. She proved to be the proprietress of a celebrated beauty parlor who is trv-.^,i’ ing to Introduce a new fashion. The effect was brought about by a lotion containing some luminous property. Light pea green cloth la the pre vailing shade of suiting for men th:*» spring. Green hat*, too. are to be the tab* meow.
