CHAPTER III.

As father and daughter approached VIM
bleton a mutual silence came over them
Perhaps this was because they had talked so
much in the office. When they passed the
station gates Sartwel said:
well have cab Edna and blow the
expense"
81 don't mind walking in the least; there
is no fog here"
We're so late, so we'll have cab" Once
inside, he added. rehectively: 81 wonder
why it is that cab seems extravaganza in
Wimbledon and economy in London"
This apparently was problem neither of
them could solve, so nothing more was said
until the vehicle drew up at the door of a
walled garden in a quiet street near the
breezy common. Sartwell put his key in the
door, held it open, and let his daughter
pass in before him. A square house stood
about 100 yards back from the street, sur
rounded by hlubbery and flower beds. The
two walked somewhat gingerly up the
crunching gravel path, opened the front
door, and entered a dimly-lighted hall
Sartwell placed his hat on the rack. pushed
open the dining room door and went in
this time preceding his daughter. There
were many comfortable chairs in the room
and one that was not comfortable. On that
chair sat woman, tall and somewhat angu-
lar. past the prime of life. She sat ex-
ceedingly upright not allowing her shoul-
ders to rest against the chair back On her
face was a patient expression of mitigated
martyrdom, the expression OF one who was
badly used by calous world, but who is
resolved not to allow its ill-treatment to
interfere with her innate justice in dealing
with her fellows
81 thought | heard a cab drive up and
stop" she said. mildly, In the tone OF one
who may be wrong and is willing to be
corrected.
"You did" said sartwell. throwing him
self down in an arm chair. Being late, /
took a cab from the station"
"Ohv
Much may be expressed by an apparently
meaningless interjectlon. This one signl-
fled that Mrs. Sartwell, while shocked at
such an admission, bowed to the inevitable
recognizing that she was mated with man
not amenable to reason, and that, while she
might say much on the influence OF unnec-
essary lavshness. she repressed herself, al
though she knew she would have no credit
for her magnanimity.
After few moments OF silence during
which Mrs. Sartwell critically examined the
sewing on which she was engaged, she
looked across at her husband and said:
II may ask, 1 suppose, If 1t was business
kept you so late?"
important business"
She sighed
"It always is. / should know that by this
time without asking. Some men make busi-
ness their god although II Will prove a god
OF clay to call upon when the end comes.
There is such thing as duty as well as
business, and a man should have some
little thought for his wife and his home"
This statement seemed so incontroyertible
that Sartwell made no effort to combat II.
He sat there with his head thrown back,
his eyes closed, and his hands clasped sup
porting his knee. This attitude Mrs. Sart-
well always regarded as the last refuge OF
the scoffer-an attitude he would be called
