VE paused at the threshold and
~ slowly shook his head. This
was Baring's Office. This was
the heart OF the web where the
gilded spider sat. There were unseen
hlaments from countless sections cen
tering there. They fioated in the afr
all about Talbot. He could almost feel
their presence. Slight and intangible.
they felt the thrill Of that master mind
and moved responsive 10 his touch.
Talbot's serious face relaxed. He was
verging on poetry. And then he came
back to the matter at hand He was on
his way to see Barring. II Barring would
see him. No doubt IL was a FOOLS err
rand. Why should Barring feel any in
terest in the petty things that inter
ested him? He hadn't spoken to Barring
for five and twenty years. Barring was
Just beginning TO make his way. He
remembered that he said something en-
couraging 10 him once.
Perhaps Barring would remember this
and laugh. How preposterous II seemed.
Here was Barring. one of the world
richest men, while he, Talbot, had
virtually stood still. And yet at that
time. five and twenty years ago, Barring
had seemed TO Talbot. who was a half
dozen years his senior, merely bright
and ambitious boy. And now, Talbot
smiled, but IL was not a pleasant smile.
Fortune was a queer jade.
He turned as II to enter the building.
and paused again. Baring's reputation
was not pleasant one They called him
cold. irritable, harsh. He was needlessly
unapprOachable They criticised his
gifts, and sneered at him for not giving
more. he was an ogre Of selfishness,
who spared no man who came in his
way. Talbot admitted that some of this
criticism might be calumny and prompt
ed by that natural envy that the race
feels toward the very successful. And no
doubt some Of the charges were true.
Why should ne. Talbot, expose himself
10 a rebuff, or worse? He was a sensi-
tive man. Other men might take the
chances on such an interview and laugh
# on, no matter what the result.
Well. he was asking nothing for him

meath his biggest treasure chest before
he would humiliate himself. But this
was In the interest Of another man. He
turned quickly and entered the great
hallway with it's marble facings and its
battery OF Gagged elevators.
There was "a uniformed man at the
gate that led TO the Enclosure into which

in the west, beyond the great I'M

yond the coal-pits that made Iseult Ca
rev the richest woman in the North of
England, the sun was slowly sinking in
a fiery sea.
Tomorrow we shall be in London"
Iseult Carew said aloud, pausing in her
walk across the lonely road that led
over the moor to where the fortress-like
towers of Analdale Castle were dimly
visible
She sighed as she spoke and sank
down on one of the gray Ichen-broider-
ed stones that lay on the narrow road.
She was a girl-no longer in her first
youth-whose features were only re-
deemed by her wonderful Celtic eyes.
Fortunately Aunt Lucy won't miss
me-" she soliloQuized, as she clasped
her slender ungloved hands around her
knees. ''since there is no late dinner.
She is worrying her poor maid to death
over her packing
She smiled lightly as she spoke and
took of the plain straw hat she wore.
The breeze from the German ocean
blew fresh and sweet in her face and
stirred the wavy rings of hair round her
forehead.
81 wish-I do wish could have found
her." she said, evidently continuing some
previous train of thought. This money
is a burden; but the lawyers say she
must be dead, or they would have had
some tidings Of her. Well. 1 suppose 1
must make up my mind to accept my
position"
She sighed again; yet Iseult Carew
was considered an eminently fortunate
young woman.
Seven years before she had sought and
had secured the position of secretary to
Sir Peter Morrisson's widow. The de-
ceased baronet's second wife had, during
the later years of her husbands life,
managed his business to a great extent.
so that on his death she was perfectly
capable of looking after the big col
lieries from which her income chiefly
came. Iseult Carew had qualities that
recommended her 10 the hard, practical,
worldly woman, and she was engaged at
once.
Her mother had died when Iseult was
but ten years old: her life with her care
less. improvident Irish father had been
always something of a makeshift, and
at his death she found herself penniIess
and friendless in London. Prior to her
engagement with Lady Morrison there
had been two years of bitter struggle
the memories of which were far from
pleasant, yet through it all Iseult had
kept a brave heart. Only once had she
spoken 70 her employer Of her relatives.
That lady had CHANGED to take up
book which the girl had been reading.
There was a name on the title page,
and she started.
''Denver!" she said. 81 did not suppose
you knew anyone of that name"
Nor do I now" Iseult answered;
that book belonged to my mother"
"Ah-yes-Amy Denver!" Lady Nor
risson repeated slowly. II remember
hearing that she made a runaway
match"
Iseult nodded
''Eaye you never communicated with
any of your kindred?"
mo" Iseult replied, with sudden
-Gerceness; they allowed her to die
without a word. 1 want no help from
them"
Lady Morrison smiled gTimly.
you are probably right. Do you know
that my late husbands first wife was
named Denver"
no" Iseult answered indifferently.
Yes. She was a cousin of your moth
