He rose and paced the room with
short, nervous steps, scowling darkly nj
his bittorest foe himself
Mr.. C~allhorpo gave him time; II WA
one OF his theories that anger, especially
with ones self, IL always shortlived
and, ns he expected, the outward signs N
Maurico's cbullition presently SUI sided.

this matter further tonight this morn.
Ing, | ought 81 say now. There will b.
10 chance OF u coming to amy sensi,

We had better wat
Maurice drew aside the heavy n
tains. undld the strong ~fastenings. and
threw open the shutters. The cold
light OF the dawn fell full upon his face,
which was colder still. There had beer
rain. and under n light breeze th.
leaves outside seemed TO be shlvering
and dropping heavy tears. 1t was on,
OF those damp. gloomy mornings, thu
first glimpse OF which sends u chill
through wen those whose nerves AFRO IN

morning which suited tho mans mood
TO him there vas n kind OF selfish salts,
faction In seeing Nature itself look mis-
cradle. II Is as painful TO have the sun
laughing In ones eyes when the heart
Is dying rs TO have n clown In motley
capering on the coffin Of our Iowa.
Yes. II Is morning. am not going
to bed. Are you tired, sirP OF course
you must be. What ! mean TO say Is,
will IL fatigue you over.much TO finish
our conversation nowP"
"Woll, you know that | am not very
sleepy-headod. and | have done without
a nights sleep ON q less important occa-
sion than the present; and so. II you
feel that you are calm enough TO pro,

there will be tho more likelihood Of

There was an u%ndcrcurrcnt OF klndl.
ness in the father manner. although h.
spoke with that air Of quiet indifference,
ms 10 whether the interview should con
tinuc or close which a clcar.headcd ma
assumes in the presence OF one who's
passion has got the upper hand OF him
lie was, however. not nj all unwilling
20 proceed. for he saw hat Maurice ha,
some fixed purpose in his mind. and h
knew how impossible II wac TO now
him when that was the case. lie saw
the brilliant castle In the mir, which
little while ago had appeared TO him a
sold rs one OF granite built upon n rock
dissolving rapidly In the clouds, and b,
was conscious OF someth ng In himscl
that more nearly approached the scnss
ton Of despair than he had ever know,
before. So he wished 10 hear the worst
You are very kind. sir. Thank VOC
i can only offer YOU the consolation
that you shall not be bothered In IN,
way again, You see that | am soma

"Wcll. | think. Maurice, Il does No

cool him. lie turned 20 his father.

that there Is any possibility Of Min
