II an answer had come, no matter how

growing unoearable. He began TO think
again OF the European trip he had con-
templated earlier In the summer. But he
knew that he would never carry this
into efect-at least not until he had
learned somcthig definite.
At last Friday night came and he
could stand it no longer. The next day
he was 20 start for the Profile House TO
fulfill his appointment with the Beck
mans. He must have his mind set at
rest before he left town. He resolved
10 go down 20 Blocker Street that even

allied that this was a last resort. hut
then he had arrived at that state Of
mind In which desperate expedlents
seem to be perfectly iustihable. He had
not been 10 Greenwich this week. His
father had ceased 70 ask him whether he
was coming. so II was natural that he
should remain in town. He felt now
that he cid not want 10 see his mother
until this affair with Louise PrebIe was
settled one way or the other.
He started for Blocker Street imme-
diately after his dinner. walking so
that he might smoke his cigar. He sup
posed the store would be closed by
