Anna will hold her tongue. Then you'll
forget she knows and go on posturing
before her with entire satisfaction to
yourself" He turned his eyes on him
and laughed a little. LAS long as you
can humbug yourself or anybody else.
or even get other people to let you
think you're humbugging them you're
quite happy, you know"
Blake looked at him once or twice,
but his tongue found no words. He
turned and walked toward the door.
Wait in the dining-room. said
Grantley.
Blake went out without turning or
seeming to hear. After moment or
two Annals step came down the stairs.
"Mamma'll be down directly, Mr.. I'm
ason," she called as she reached the
door. Then her eyes took in the room.
"Mr.-Mr. Blake?" she asked, with a
sudden quick rush of color to her
cheeks.
Il think you will find him in the din
.ing-room, said Grantley gravely.
She understood-and she did not lack
courage. She had enough for two-for
herself and for Blake. she met Grant
ley's look fair and square, drawing up
her trim stylish figure to stiff rigid
ity, and setting her lips in a resolute
line. Grantley admired her attitude and
her open defiance of him. He smiled
at her in a confidential mockery.
Thanks, Mr.. Imason, I'll look for
him. You'll be all right till mamma
comes?"
'Oh, yes, 1 shall e all right, thanks.
Anna"
He smiled still. Anna gave him an
other look of defiance.
Il intend TO go my own way; know
what I'm about. 1 don't care a pin
what you think" Tie glance seemed
to- Grantley as eloquent as Lord Burgh-
ley's nod. And no more than Lord
Burghley did she spoil its effect by
words. She gave it to Grantley full
and square, then turned on her heel
and swung jauntily out of the room.
Grantley's smile vanished. He
screwed up his lips as If he had tasted
something rather sour.

very much by assuming persistently
that the dictates of her heart called her
toward him, and that worldly consider
ations alone inspired her refusal.
''Oh, you're silly" she cried. Il tell
you it's nothing of the sort"
The dusk of the afternoon softened
her 'eatures; the light of the fire threw
up in clear outline the stylish we'll
g0wned figure. Poor Alec in his shah
by mustard suit, stood opposite her.
his hands in his pockets, in dogged
misery and resentment, with all the
helpless angry surprise of a first ex-
perience of this kind, fairly unable to
understand how it was that love did
not call forth love, obstinate in cling
ing to the theory # another reason as
the sole explanation. Things did not
exist in vain. For what was his love %
But-but what am 1 to do?" he
stammered
tered-Anna prayed him 10 be sensible
and friendly. He consented to hope for
her happiness, though he was obvious
ly not sanguine about it. For himself
all was Overt So he said as he flung out
of the room, knowing nothing Of what
lay before him on the path of life; dis
cerning nothing of a certain daughter
of poor old political writer-a little
round w0m-n who made her own
gowns, was at once very thrifty
and very untidy, was inclined to think
that the rulers of the earth should be
forcibly exterminated, and lavished an
unStinted affection on every being, hu-
man or brute, with which she was
ever brought into contact. And If she
did rot greatly influence the trend of
public opinion-well, anyhow she tried
to- Just now, however, Alec knew
nothing about her; he was left to
think hopelessly of the trim figure and
the lost ideals-the two things would
mix themselves up in his mind.
To his pathetic stormy presence there
succeeded Walter Blake, with all his
accomplishment in the art of smooth
love making, with his aspirations
again nicely adjusted TO the object of
his desires Che was so much cleverer
than poor Alec ever thatD with his
power to flatter not only by love but
still more by relative weakness. He,
of course, did not run at the thing
as Alec had done. That would be
neither careful of the chances nor eco
nomical of the pleasure. Many a talk
was needed before his purpose became
certain or Anna could show any sign
of understanding it.
He dealt wariIy with her; he was
trying, unconsciously, perhaps, to per-
form the task Caylesham had indi-
Gated to him-the task of learning her
PAGES and adapting his thereto. 1t was
part of his theory about her that she
must be approached with great eau
ton; and of course he knew that there
was one very delicate bit of ground.
How much had she heard about him

voice: he liked to be told that any such
confession was unnecessary, and would
have welcomed such an assurance even
from. Grantley's hostile lips.
Certainly; and equally unnecessary
that should tell Anna anything" He
paused Il moment and then went on.
In different case l might think l had
a different duty-though, being what
you might call an interested party, L
should consider carefully before i al
lowed myself to act on that view. But
as matters stand you yourself have
made any action on my part superfiu-
ous."
Il, have?"
'Oh, yesi You so far injured the
fame of the woman for whom you had
not afterward the pluck to fight that
it's not necessary for me to tell Sell
ford that you were in love with her
a few months before you made love
run away with her, but that in the end
you funked the job. / needn't tell him,
because ne knoWs-and his wife knows.
You took care Of that"
Young Blake said nothing. though he
opened his lips as if to speak.
And 1 needn't tell Anna either.
That's unnecessary for the same rea-
son. She knows just as we'll as her
father and mother know"
She knows nothing, l tell you. She
hasn't al idea"
DID you see her face when she saw
that wasn't Richards?"
Il tell you Size was embarrassed,
OF course-But-''
She kncws quite we'll, Blake. Oh,
not the datails, but the main thing.
She knows that quite we'll. And she
will have made her decision. There's
no duty incumbent on me-.
You'll say nothing them?
4 shall say nothing at all.
Grantley relapsed into silence-a most
easy sef-possessed silence. His eyes
We're on young Blake no mere. but rest
ed placidly on one of Selfords best pic
lures on the opposite wall. Blake clear
ed his throat and shifted uneasily from
one foot to the ether.
Why DO YOU stay?" asked Grantley
mildly. Wouldn't it be better to con-
tinue your interview with Anna else
where? Mrs. Selford's coming in here,
you see"
Blake broke out:
God knows, ImasOn. It's difficult for
me to say word 10 you, but
Grantley raised his hand little.
It's impossible" he said. There
can be no words between you and me
about that And what does it matter
to you what I think? 1 shall hold my
tongue. And you'll feel sure I've no
real cause of compiaint-quite sure if
only I hold my tongue. And think
