"That , " said Neersard angrily ,
"amounts to an Indictment of the Qrm
If you express yourself In that mannct
outside , the firm will certainly resent
it ! "
"My personal tacto will continue tc
govern my expressions , Mr. Noergard
and I bollevowill prevent any fnrthei

as wo never had any other kind of ro
latlond , I have merely to arrange the

Necrgard looked after him In si
Jence. The tiny boads'of ' sweat on his
nose united and lolled down lu n bis

his broad and brightly mottled fea
( urea deepened { o a snail when Sol-
wyu had disappeared.
For the coclal prestige which Sel-
.wyn'o name had brought the firm ho
bad patiently endured his personal dis
like and contempt for the man after
he found ho could do nothing Tilth lilm
In any way.
He had accepted Selwyn purely In
the hope of social advantage and with
the knowledge that Eelwyn. could have
flouo much for him after business
hours , if not from friendship , at least
riv.3 interest or a lively sense of bene
fits to coiao. For that reason he had
Invited him to participate In the valu-
cblo Blowithn deal , supposing a man
oa comparatively poor as Solwyn
would not only jump at the opportuni
ty , but also prove sufficiently grateful
later. And he had been amazed and
disgusted at Selwyu'a attitude. But
he had not supposed the man would
cover his connection with the firm If
ho , Noergnvd. went ahead on his own
responsibility It astonished and Irri
tated him It meant , Instead of selfish
or mobbish indifference to his own
social ambitions , nn enemy to block
his entrance Into what he desired the
society of those made notorious In the
columns of tha dally press.
Ho was fairly on the outer boundary
now , though still very far outside. But
a needy gentleman lualde was alieady
compromised and practically pledged
to support him , for his meeting with
Jack Ruthven through Gerald had
proved of greatest importance lie

In doing It had taken that gentleman's

escape any assessment himself
Nejjsrgard's progress had now reach
ed this stage. Hl3 progiamme was
simple to wallow among the wealthy
until satiated , then to marry Into that
agree'able community and found the
house of Neersard. And to that end
ho had already bought a building site
on Fifth avenue , but held it in the
name of the firm , as though It had been
acquired for purposes merely specula

where xhe newly married of the
younger set were arriving in increas
ing numbers , /prepared to pay the
penalty for 'all love matches.
It was an unexpected move to Sel
wyn ; he had not been aware of Lan

morning , returning from iila final In

tonished to find his comrade's room

went down after a solitary luncheon
and found Lansing oltting on a pile of

cracked celling.
