There was not much sleep for Brian tat
night. He left Madge almost Immediately,
and went L. me, but did not go to bed. He
felt too anxious and Ill at ease to sleep, and
passed the greater part Of the night walking
up and down his room, occupied with his own
sad thoughts. He was wondering in his own
mind as to what could be the meaning of
Roger Moreland's visit to Mark Frettlby,
All the evidence that he had given at the
trial was that he had met Whyte, and had
been drinking with him during the evening.
Whyte then went out, and that was the last
Moreland had seen of him. Now, the ques-
tion was, "What did he go to see Mark
Frettlby forf' He had no acquaintance with
him, and yet he called by appointment 1t
is true he might have been in poverty, and
tho millionaire being well known as an ex-
tremely generous man, Moreland might have
called OH him to get money. But then the
cry which Frettlby had given after the in
terview had lasted short time proved that
he had been startled. Madge had gone up
stairs and found the door locked, her father
refusing her admission Now. why was he
SO anxious Moreland shonld not he seen by

revelation was certain. and Fitzgerald felt

with conjecture about the matter, and TO-

was, on the bed and slept heavily till l2
o'clock the next day When he arose and
looked at himself in the glass he was startled
at the haggard and worn appearance of his
face The moment he was awake his mind
