 Not until I get what I want" an- swered the other in an insolent tone.
 'You shall never have another far thing from me-" said the peer. 'You have run through all your own money and a considerable portion of mine, and won't stand your blackmailing any longer. Now. you can leave this room and my house as soon as you like.
 The younger man uttered fierce i'm precation.
 If you won't give me what l want" he shouted, ''I'll find way of making you.
 As you see fit to descend to vulgar threats, returned Lord Heathington quietly, II shall have to have you put out of the house"
 So saying, he advanced toward the bellrope and was about to pull it when his brother sprang forward, and being by far the more powerful of tho two knocked him down with one blow of his fist. Then, as Lord Heathington at tempted to rise, his relative dropped on to his knees and held him down by the throat.

He knew that any in reference on his part would lead to his detection and subsequent arrest, but he did not allow that thought to deter him from the course of action which he re- solved to take. He saw the uplifted weapon. He heard Lord Heathington's cry of 'Murderm and he could sec the diabolical look on the face of the other bObh HI HI a moment. The events of a few seconds take some minutes to describe. and it must be remembered that the occur- renee We are describing was of less than 0 minutes duration from first to last. It was n large room, and between the door and the struggling couple was huge four poster.
