mako start; it would only he neccs-

he remembered that it was Il splendid
story and that he had found. his previ-

He read and read again what he had
written. Yes it was good. but he could
not for the life of him remember how
he had meant to finish it, nor could he
think Of any end that was at all salts
factory. His thought had stopped like a
| thread cut short. The story began well,
but it was like story that had been
| written by another man. 1t seemed to
him to lead to nothing.
At 8 O'Clock he wrote note Of ex-
cuse. His work had never been late be-
fore, but he said that he was i'll. Then
he tried to occupy his mind differently.
He had bought quantity Of Japanese
prints, and he turned them over. Then
be put them away, turning out a big
drawer in an old cabinet for the pur-
pose There was lot of rubbish in the
drawer-relios Of holidays abroad, an
old silver oruciix, a little branch of
coral, handful Of foreign coins and
the little red bulb that the mad Ameri-
can had given him, together with a
somewhat fantastic story.
The day waned and the next day
came. The waste paper basket was
piled high, and Blackthorn rising from
his seat looked out at the dawn. He
was quite sure now that he would never
write again, and he hated his uncle as
he had never hated any man. "He has
taken away my nerve he said, land |
that is all that one wants-nerve, the |
belief that one can do it.. s" His cheeks |
we're pale and his hands shook He |
really was i'll now, and he had not |
been to bed. He went into his bedroom
and locked himself in. Then in the
early morning he dressed for the even
ing and sat on his bed waiting until the
evening came, admitting no one, send
ing his servant away, turning over in
his hands the little red bulb He would
hold it over the claret glass between his
thumb and the second finger and break

that.
