league understood to be straightforward;
there was crisis in the church and a
bishopric vacant. Lady Evenswood was
of opinion that the least attempt to hurry
Robert would be fatal. There were, after
all. limits to the importance of Harry
Tr1stram's case, and Robert was likely, IL
worried, to state the fact with his own
merciless v1gor and, with that, TO say
goodby to the whole affair. The only per-
son seriously angry at the prime min
ister's "dawdling" was Nina Zabriska. and
she had enjoyed no chance of telling him
so. To make such an opportunity for her
was too hazardous an experiment; it might
have turned out well-one could never tell
with Robert-but on the whole, 1t was to
be risked.
What Lady Evenswood would not ven
ture, fortune dared. Nina had been seeing
sights-it was August now, a suitable
month for the task-and one evening about
$3.50 she landed her weary bones on seat
in st. James Park for few moments rest
before she faced the Underground. The
place was very empty, the few people there
lay for the most part asleep-workmen with
the days labor done. Presently she saw
two men walking slowly toward her from
the direction Of Westminster. One was tall
and slight, handsome and distinguished in
appearance; In the other she recognized the
rugged, awkward man whom she had met
at Lady Evenswoods. He was talking hard.

II must go back to the house." she heard
the handsome man say.
"Well, think it over. Try to see 1t in that
light" said Disney, holding out his hand.
The other took it and then turned away.
The episode would have been worth good
paragraph and dozen conjcctures to
reporter. The handsome man was the self
opinionated colleague, and the words Nina
had heard were they not clear proof of dis
SenSions in the cabinet?
Disney stood stock-still on the path, not
looking after his recalcitrant coll aague but
down on the ground; his thoughts made
him unconscious Of things external. Nina
glowed with excitement.
An artisan swung by, his tools over his
back. Nina saw the suddenly awakened
attention with which his head turned to
Disney. He slackened pace moment, and
then, after an apparent hesitation, lifted
his cap. There was no sign that Disney
saw him, save that he touched his nat in
almost unconscious acknowledgment

Nina did not know what she would do; the
fear and the attraction struggled. Then
she jumped up and walked toward him.
Her manner tried to assert thut she had
not noticed him. She was almost by him.
She gave cough. He looked up. Would
