Chambers * | * ( Continued from list week. > On her way home Allxe smilingly re viewed the episode until doubt of Sol- wyn's approval crept in again , and her amused smile had faded whcu she reached her home. HE house of Ruthvon was n small but ultra modern limestone af fair , between Madison and Fifth , a pocket edi tion of the larger man sions of their friends , but with less excuse for the overelabo- ration since the dimensions were only twenty by a hundred. Jnto this lime stone bonbon box tripped Mrs. Ruth- vcn. mounted the miniature stairs with u whirl of her scented skirts , peeped Into the drawing room , but continued mounting until she whipped Into her own apart ments , separated from those of h o r lord and master by ; i lock ed door. That is. the door had been locked fora long , long time. But presently , to her Intense surprise and annoyance , it slowly opened and a little man appeared in slipnto tllis pored feet. l)0n box trl1 > lul n"th n- He was u little man and plump , and at ilrst glance his face appeared boyish and round and quite guiltless of hair or of any hope of It. But as lie came Into the- electric light the hardness of his features was apparent. IIi was no boy. A strange Idea that he had never been assailed some people. His face was puffy and pallid , and faint blue-shadows hinted of closest shaving , and the line from the wing of the nostrils to the nerve less corners of his thin , hard mouth had been deeply bitten by the acid of unrest. For the remainder he wore pale rose pajamas under a slllc and. silver kimo no , an obi pierced with a jeweled scnrfpln , and he was smoking n ciga rette ns thin as a straw. "Well ! " said his young wife In as tonished displeasure. "Send her out a mom nt. " he said , with a nod of his head toward the maid. Ills voice was agreeable and full a trltle precise and overcultlvat- ed perhaps. When the maid retired Allxe sat up on the lounge , drawing her skirts down over her small stockinged feet. "What on earth Is the matter' : " she demanded. "The matter is , " he said , "that Clerald has Just telephoned me from the Stuy- vesant that he Isn't coming. " "Well ! " "No. It Isn't well. This Is .some of your meddling. " "What If It is ? " she retorted , hut her breath was coming quicker. " I'll tell you. You can get up and ring him up and tell him you expect him ton.'ght. " She shook her head , eying him all the while. "I won't do it , Jack. What do you want him for ? He can't play with the people who play here. He doesn't know the rudiments of play. He's only a boy. Ills money Is &o tied up that he has to borrow if he loses very much. There's no sport In playing with a boy like that" "So you've said before , 1 believe , but I'm better qualified to judge than you are. Are' you going to call him up ? " "No , I am not" He turned paler. "Get up and go to that telephone ! " "You little whippet , " she said slow ly , "I was once ti soldier's wife the only decent thing I ever have been. This bullying ends now here , at this instant ! If you've any dirty work to do , do it yourself. I've done my share , and I've finished. " He was astonished. That was plain enough. But It was the sudden over whelming access of fury that weak ened him and made him turn , hand outstretched , blindly seeking for a chair. Rage , even real anger , were emotions he seldom bad to reckon with , for he was a very tired and bored and burned out gentleman , and vivid emo tion was not good for his arteries , tbe doctors told him. He found his cbnlr , stood n moment with his back toward his wife , then very slowly let himself down Into the chair and sat facing her. There was moisture on his soft , pallid skin , a nervous twitching of the under Up. He passed one heavily ringed bond across his closely shaved Jaw , still atarlnc at her. " 1 want to tell you something , " ho said. "You've got to stop your inter ference with my affairs , and stop It I now. " " 1 Intonated bi uita.- ' urn not yotu . . - . shr > said unsteadily , st h .unl "L v her own revolt , still under the shok of her own Ht-ntmlng to a resistance tbiu bad IMVII lorn * , long overdue 'If yon mean. " she went on , "that 1110 'ruin of this txiy Is your affair. Uicn I'll make It mine from this moment. I've told yon that he shall not play , and he shall not.

And every time you try vour dirty bucket shop meth ods on U > is like that I'll do the same" He swore nt her quite calmly. She smiled , shrugged and. Imprisoning her knees in her clasped hands , leaned back and looked at him. "What a ninny I have been. " hc said , "to be afraid of you so long ! " A gleam crossed his faded eyes , but he lee her remark pass for the mo ment. Then , when he was quite sure that violent emotion had been exhaust- U ' Ul V'A ' , . - He swore at her. ed within him. "Do you want your Mils paid ? " he asked. "Because if ymi do Fane. Harmon & Co. are not going to pay them. " "We are living beyond our menus ? " she Inquired disdainfully. "Not If you will be good enough to mind your business , my friend I've managed this establishment on our winnings for two years. It's a detail , i but you might as well know It My i association with Fane , Harmon & Co. runs the Newport end of It and noth ing more. " ' " "What did you marry me for ? " slie asked curiously. A slight color came Into his face. "Because Rosamund Fane lied about you. " "Oh ! You knew that In Manila ? You'd beard about It , hadn't yoii-the western timber lands ? Rosamund dlrtn't moan to lie. Only the titles were all wrong , you know. And .so you made n bad break. Jack.1 Is that it ? " "Yes. that Is it. " "And It cost you n fortune and me a ' husband. Is that It. my friend ? " "I can afford you If yon will stop your meddling. " be said coolly "Yon have made n point of excluding Ger ald ? " "Yes. " "Very well. I'll telephone Draymore. And" he looked back from the door of his own apartments "I got Julius Neergard on the wire this afternoon , and he'll dine with us. " lie gathered up his shimmering ki mono , hesitated , halted and again looked back. ] "When you're dressed , " he drawled , "I've a word to say to you about the game tonight nnd another about Ger ald. " "I shall not play , " she retorted scornfully , "nor will Gerald. " "Oh , yes , you will , and piny your best too. And I'll expect him next time. " "I shall not play ! " He paid deliberately : "You will not only play , but play cleverly , and in the Interim , while dressing , you will reflect how much more agreeable It Is to play i ' cards here than the fool nt 10 o'clock nt night in the bacholn apartments of your late lamented. " | And he entered his ro 'S , and his wife , getting blindly to her feet , every ' atom of color gene from lip and cheek. , stood rigid , both small bands clutch ing the footboard of the glided bed 1 IFFERENCES of opinion between himself nnd Neergarcl concerning the ethics of good tnsto In volved lu forcing the Slowltha club matter , Gerald's decreasing attention to busi ness and Increasing Intimacy with the Faua-Ruthven coterie began to make Selwyn very uncomfortable. The boy'o close relations with Neergard worried 1 him most of all and , though Noorgartl Dually agreed to drop the Slowltha matter as a Used policy In which Sel- wyn had been expected to participate at some indefinite date , the arrange * ment seemed only to cement the man'p confidential companionship with Ger ald. ald.This This added to Selwyu's restlessness , and one day In. early spring he had a long con'fcrenco with Gerald a most I I unsatisfactory one. Gerald for the 1 first time remained reticent , and when ! Behvyn , presuming ou the cordial un- 1 < derstuudibg between thorn , pressed Hoots Lansing. him a little the boy turned sullen , and Sclwyn lot the matter drop very quick ly. But neither tact nor caution seemed to serve now. Gerald , more and moro engrossed in occult social affairs of which he made no mention to Selwyn , was still amiable and friendly , oven at times cordial and lovable , but he was no longer frank or even communica tive , and Selwyn , fearing to arouse him again to sullem. s or perhaps even to suspicious dellance , forbore to press him beyond the nuwt tentative advances toward the regaining of his confidence. Gerald and Neergard left the olllco together frequently now. They often lunched uptown. Whether they were in each other's company evenings Sel wyn did not know , for Gerald no longer volunteered Information as to his whereabouts or doings. And all this hurt Sehvyn and alarmed him , too , for he was slowly coming to the conclusion that he did not like Neer gard , that ho would never sign arti cles of partnership with him and that even his formal assoclateshlp with the company was too close a relation for his own peace of mind. But on Ger ald's account ho stayed on. He did not like to leave the. boy alone for bin sister's sake as well as for his own. Matters drifted that way through early spring , lie actually grew to dis like both Neergard and the business of Neergard & Co. , for no particular rea- bon perhaps , but In general , though ho did not yet care to auk himself to bo more precise In his unuttered criti cisms. Hut Neergard broke his word to him. * And one morning before he left his rooms at ) Mrs. G reeve's lodgings to go downtown 1'ercy Draymoro called him up on the telephone , and , as that over fed young man's usual rising hour was notoriously nearer noon than S o'clock , ' It surprised Selwyn to ( je asked to remain - main in his rooms lor a little while un til Draymore and one or two friends could call on him personally concern ing a matter of Importance. First there was 1'crcy Draymore , overgroomcd for a gentleman , fat , good humored and fashionable one of the famous Draymore family noted solely for their money and their tight grip on it ; then came Sanxon Orchil , the fa mous banker and promoter , small , ur bane , dark , with that rich , almost ori ental , coloring which he may have Inherited - j herited from his Cordova ancestors , who found it necessary to dulunuaniKC their names \ \ hen Rome offered them , the choice , with immediate eternity aa alternative. Then came a fox faced young man , Phoenix Mottly , elegant arbiter of all pertaining to polo and the hunt slim legged , hatchet faced and moro pro * .seiitable In the saddle than out of it. He was followed by Bradley Harmon , with his washed out coloring of a con sumptive Swede and his corn colored beard , and. looming In the rear like an amiable brontosaurus , George Fane , whoso swaying nock carried his head as a camel carries his , nodding an he . "We heard last night , " said Dray more , "how that fellow how Nccr fcard had been tampering with 0111 farmers what underhand trick's he bas been plnylng us , and I frankly ad , mit to you that wo're a worried lot oj' ' near sports. That's what this dlsma matinee signifies , and we've eorne tf ask you what it all really means. " "Why did you not call on Mr. Necr- 1 gard ? " asked Selwyn coolly. Yet hi was taken completely by surprise , foi lie did not know that Neergard ban gone ahead and secured options on hl > own icsponslbllity , which praetlrall ; amounted to a violation of the truct between them. "I know nothing ahoul It. T did not know that Mr. Neergard hud acquired control of the property. I don't know what ho means to do with it. And , gentlemen , may I ask why you feel ot liberty to come to mo instead of going to Mr. Neergard ? " "A desho to deal with one of our own kind , I suppose , " returned Dray- more bluntly. "And , for that matter , " he said , turning to the others , "wo might have known that Captain Sel- wyn could have had no hand in and no knowledge of such an underbred and dlrty"- Harmon plucked him by the sleeve , but Draymore shook him off , his little piggish eyes sparkling. "What do I care ? " he sneered , losing his temper.Ire're in the clutches of n vulgar , skinflint Dutchman , and he'll wring us dry whether or not we curse him out. Didn't I tell you that Philip Selwyn had nothing to do with it ? If he had , and I was wrong , our journey here might as well have been made to Neergard's oflice , for any man who will do such a filthy thing" "One moment , Draymore , " cut in Sel- wyn , and his voice rang unpleasantly. / / HEADQUARTERS KOR JUST GROCERIES WK HAVK A NICB NKW UNlt OF Dal s , Kmport d Figs , Honey , Celery , Granbrrls , 5 v et Potatoes , Dill Fields.

"Do you think , Draj'moro. that It Is very good taste In you ( o come Into a man's place and be'Tln slanging and cursing a member of his linn for crooked work ? " "Resides , " added Mottly , "it'H not crooked ; It's only contemptible. " And to Selwyn , who had been restlessly fac ing Ilrst one , then another : "We came It w.as the idea of several among us to put the matter up to you , which was rather foolish , because you couldn't have engineered the thing and remain ed what wo know you to be. So" "Walt ! " said Sclwyn brusquely. "I do not admit for one moment that there is anything dishonorable In this deal , I nor do I accept your right to question It from that standpoint , because I personally have not chosen to engage In matters of this ah description , lane no reason for condemning the deal or its method. " "Every reason ! " said Orchil , laughing cordially. "Every reason , Captain Sel wyn. Thank you ; wo know now exactly where we stand. It was very good of you to let 113 come , and I'm sorry some of us had the bad ( astu to show any temper. " "lie means mo. " added Drayinore , offering his hand ; "goodby , tfaptaln Selwyn. 1 date say wo arc up against it hard , " "Because we've got to buy In that property or close up the Slowltha , " added Motlly , coming over to make his adieus. "By the way , Selwyn , you ought to be one of'us In the Slowltha. " "Thank you , bu.t Isn't this rather nn awkward time to suggest it ? " said Sel wyn good humorcdly. Fane burst Into a sonorous laugh and wagged his neck , saying : "Not at all ! Not at all ! Your reward for having the decency to stay out of the dual Is an invitation from us to come in and bo squeezed Into a Jelly by Mr. Neer gard. Haw ! Haw ! " And so , ono by 'one , with formal or Informal but evidently friendly leave- taking , they went away. And Selwyn followed them presently , walking until he took the subway at Forty-second street for his ofllco. Ho wont Into his own ofllce , pocketed his mull and still wearing hat and gloves came out again just as Gerald was leaving Ncurgard's olllce. Ho walked leisurely Into Neergard'K olllco and seated himself. "So you have committed the firm to the Slowltha deal ? " ho Inquired coolly. Neergard looked up and then past him : "No , not the firm. You did not seem to be interested fii the scheme , so I wont on without you. I'm swinging It for my personal account. " "Is Mr. Kiroll In It ? " "I said that it was a private matter , " replied Neergavd , but his manner was affable. "I thought to ; It appears to me like a matter quite persouul to yon and pharacterlstir * of you.
