He was never more convinced of his
wisdom and courage than when he lis
tened to Cayleshams conversation
They were race course and club ac
quaintances, and had lunched together
at Caylesham's fiat on the Sunday on
which John Fanshaw went TO Lady
Harriet's house in order to show her
the error Of her ways. Blake glowed
with virtue as he listened to his
friends earthly views and measured his
friends degraded standards against his
own.

ham, somewhat circumscribing the do
main Of morality, as his habit was,
lis to avoid row. Don't get the
woman into a scrape." From gossip
ing about Tom CORTLAND they had
drifted into discussing the converse
case. That really sums 1t all up, you
know" 1t was a chilly day, and he
warmed himself luxuriously before the
fire. II don't set myself up as a pat
tern to the youth. but I've never done
that anyhow"
VirtuouS Blake would have liked to

and shared. but it is not possible to
speak quite so plainly to ones friends.
yes. that's the gospel" he said sar-
castically. Avoid a row. Nothing
else matters, does it?''
Nothing else matters in the end" 1
mean," smiled Caylesham, good
naturedly conscious of the sarcasm and
rather amused at it. LAS long as
there's no row things settle down
again, you see. But if there's row.
see where you're left! Look what
you've got on youf hands. by Jovei
And the women don't want a row
either, really, you know. They may
talk as if they did-in fact, they're
rather fond of talking as If they did;
and they may think they do sometimes.
But when 1t comes to the point they
don't. And. what's more, they don't
easily forgive a man who gets them
into a row. 1t means too much to
them, too much by a deal, Blake"
And what does it mean when
there's no row."
"Oh, well, of course, in a certain
sense you have me-" Caylsham admit
ted with a candid smile. IF you like
to take the moral line you have me, Of
course. 1 was speaking of the world
as we know it, and 1 don't suppose
it's ever been particularly different.

She flung herself into her chair and
began to sob tempestuously. John
stared past her to the wall.

she moaned through her sobs-"making

Presently her sobs ceased; her face
grew hard and set again

that you want to stay? Do you still
think you can teach me the error Of
my ways? ?"
From the first moment John Fan
shaw had not doubted the truth of
what she said. Things forced out by
passion in that way were true. Her
stormy remorse was added proof-a
rcmorse which did not even attempt
retraction or evasion. And his men,
ory got TO work. He knew now why
Christine had been so reluctant to go
TO Caylesham. There were things back
III the past, too, which now became in
telligible-how that acquaintance had
grown and grown, how constant the
companionShip had been, one or two
little things which had seemed odd.
and then how there had been a sudden
end, and they had come to see very
little of Caylesham, how neither of
them had seen him for long while,
till John had sent Christine to borrow
$4,000.
For Gods sake, gol" she cried.
He rose to his feet slowly and her
fascinated eyes watched his face. His
eyes were dull, and his face seemed
to have gone gray. He asked her one
question:
How long ago."
''Oh, all over years ago." she an
swered, with an impatient groan,
drumming her fingers on the arms of
her chair.
He nodded his head in thoughtful
way.
"Good-by, Lady Harriet" he said.
"Good-by, john" Suddenly she
sprang up. "Stop, What are you go
ing to say to Christine ?'
He looked bewildered STILL

John found it difficult to correct this
mistake of hers.
I'm at the end of my patience" she
said solennly. I'm sure anybody
would be. You know what's happen
ing as well as 1 do, and I intend to put
an end to it,"
''Oh, don't say th2ti I-~e1, I'm
here just to prevent you from saying
that"
ITO prevent me? You do know what's
happening. Do you know he's stay
ing awav from home again? What do
the servants think? What must the
children begin to think? Am L to be
exposed to that?"
She looked very handsome and spirit
ed, with just the right amount Of color
in her cheeks and an animated sparkle
in her eyes.
why, I could name the womani"
she exclaimed. And so could you, I
daresay?"
Don't make too much Of it," he
urged. We're not children. He does
not really care about the woman. It's
only because he's unhappy"
And whose fault is it he's unhap-
And because of that he's being
foolish-wasting all his money, too,
I'm afraid
"Oh. I've got my settlement. I shall
be all right in case of proceedings"
Now, pray, don't think of proceed
ings, Lady Harriet"
Not think of themi I've made up
my mind to them. 1 wanted to ask
you how to set about it.
But it would ruin his career; 1t
would DESTROY his public position"
Il can't help that. He should have
thought Of that for himself"
"And then think of the girls"
he haf than o.
ing on like this-yes, better for them,
too"
John saw that he must face an ex-
planation of his embassy. He got up
and stood on the hearthrug.
I'm here as the friend Of you both,
he began.
The color and the sparkle both grew
brighter
"Oh. are you?' said Lady Harriet.
1T comes to this. Toms friends-I
and one or two more-have been speak
ing seriously TO him. We've got him
to say he's ready TO drop-to drop what
you very properly object to-and to
make another effort to find "a modus
vivendi.
I'm glad he's got so much decent
feeling. Only it comes rather late. He
wants me TO forgive him, does he?"
Il don't think we can put il quite
so simply as that" John risked a timid
smile. There must be a give-and-take,
Lady Harriet-a give -and-take, you
know"
"Well?" She was relapsing into that
dangerous stiffness Of hers. She was
very quiet. but her eyes shone very
bright. Tom Courtland would have

1 was child! l may be anything you
like, but I've never been what your
wife was, John Fanshaw."
He turned on her quickly.
What do you mean by that?"
That's my affair"
mo, it isn't You've dared to hint"
"Oh, hint nothing don't know"
You shall give me an explanation of
those words. 1 insist upon that"
You'd better not" she laughed ma
liciously.
John was moved beyond self-control.
He caught her by the wrist. She rose
and stood facing him, her breath COM
ing quick. She was in fury that
robbed her of all Judgment and all
mercy; but she had no fear of him.
You shall withdraw those words or
explain them"
ASK Christine to explain them" she
sneered. What fool you arei Here's
a man to give lectures on the man
agement of wives, when his own
wife" She broke off laughing again.
You shall tell me what you mean.
Dear me, you can't guess? You've
turned very dull, John. Never mind!
Don't make too much of 1t! Perhaps
you were quick-tempered? Perhaps you
didn't make her home pleasant? And IL

Perspiration was on John Fanshaw's
brow He pressed her wrist hard.

"Oh, ask Christine! And If she won't

rs that true?"
Yes, it is Don't break my wrist"
"Caylesham,"
He held her wrist a moment longer,
then dropped it, and looked aimlessly
round the room.
She rubbed her wrist and glared at
him with sullen eyes, her fury dying
down into a malicious rancor.
There, that's what you get from
your meddling and your preaching!"
she said Il never meant to give
Christine away, never wanted TO. It's
your doing: you made me angry, and
hit out at you where 1 could. 1 wish

Yes. let's make her 60" Sophy
chimed in gleefully.
You may do anything you like" de-
clared Vera, but you can't make me

The two elder girls giggled merrily
at her panic.
Poor Suzette was rather in despair
about these children-nOt because they
were unhappy Their mothers hu-
mors, If alarming. were also the cause
OF much excitement. Their fathers
plight, If sorroWful, was by no means
wanting in the comic aspect. The sus-
pense in which they waited TO see how
long Lady Harriet would stand II had
a distinct spice of pleasure in it. But

not less than her fidelity to Lady Har-
riet, inclined her 70 lay far the heavier
blame on Tom COurtland. But she did
have a notion that Lady Harriet must
be very trying-and the more she list
ened TO the children the more that idea
grew And between them, the mother
and the father were responsible for
such a childhood as this. The children
were not bad girls, she thought. but
they were in danger Of being coarsened
and demoralized; they were learning

very much shocked at this.

was very CHEEKY to-day: he joked with
the children and paid Suzette Bligh a
compliment Then Vera wanted to
know why he had called:

claimed Lucy.
Chances were exchanged between the
three-humOrOus excited glances; ad-
miring amused eyes turned TO John
Fanshaw. Here was the man who
was going TO enter the lions denl
Shall we start, dears? p" suggested
Suzette Bligh apprehensively.
No notice was taken. Sophy gave
John a direct and friendly warning.
You'd better look out, you know"
she said; mammals just furious be-

But it's not my fault, missile" said
John. She can't put me in the corner

Well. if you happen to be there"

We must really start, Lucy, dear"
urged Suzette.
What have you come to see mamma
about?" asked Vera, shrilly.

to such a point the only honest thing
is to see it through, to face it, to undo
the mistake, to put things where they
ought to have been from the begin
ming"
Capital! And how are you going
to do it?"
There's only one way of doing it."
Caylesham's smile broadened; he
pulled his long mustache delicately as
he said:
"BoIt?"
Blake nodded sharply.
"Oh, my dear boy!"
He laughed in a gentle. comfortable
way and drew his coat right up into
the small of his back.
"Oh, my dear boy!" he murmured
again.
Nothing could have made Walter
Blake feel more virtuous and more
courageous.
THE only honest and honorable
thing" he insisted-"the only self-re-
specting thing for both"
You convert the world to that and
I'll think about it."
What do 1 care about the world?
It's enough for me to know what
think and feel about 1t. And I've no

His face flushed a little and he
spoke rather heatedly.
victions for the world and, as I'm
bachelor, 1 don't mind them" He was
looking at Blake rather keenly now,
wondering what made the young man
take the subject so much to heart.
But if I were you I'd keep them in
the theoretical stage, think
He laughed again and turned to
light a cigar. Blake was smoking,
too, one cigarette after another,
quickly and nervously. Caylesham
looked down on him with a good hu-
mored smile. He liked young Blake
in a half contemptuous fashion and
would have been sorry to see him
make a fool of himself out and out.
I'm not going to ask you any ques-
TONS" he said, though 1 may have
an idea about you in my head. But
I'm pretty near twenty years older

The San Francisco call., 1904-11-27

Everybody's afraid Of you You make
the house impossible to live in. You're
even violent sometimes, I'm afraid,
Lady Harriet"
If breaking a paper-knife in two be
violence. she was violent then. She
threw the pieces down on the table
angrily.
How dare you, come to me and talk
like this? I've done nothing; I've moth
ing to blame myself for What I've
had to put up with would have spoiled
anybody's temper! Express regret?
shall do nothing of the kind. If that's
what you cbome to ask, you can take
your answer and CO."
She was working herself up to the
full tide of her rage. Johns undertak-
ing was quite hopeless now, but he
would not recognize 1T yet; he deter
mined to '1et her have it" a little more
still.
''Lcok at that!" he said, pointing to
the broken paper-knife. Just try to
think what that-that sort of thing
means. What man can be expected to
stand that? The state of things which
has arisen is your fault. You've made
no effort to govern your temper. You're
reaping the fruit of what you've sown.
If poor Tom had shown more firmness
it might have been better"
sYou'd have shown more firmness, I
suppose?"
yes, I .shouldl and I believe it
would have done some good: You may
suppose it gives me great pain to speak
like this. but really it's the only way.
Unless you realize how greatly you've
been to blame, unless you determine to
conquer this deplorable feeling, there's
no hope of doing any good"
She sat quiet for a moment or two
longer with shining eyes. While John,
now confident and very masculine,
developed the subject of the real truth
about her. Then she broke out:
You fool" she said. You silly fooli
You come to me with this nonsense,

We've got him to say what I've told
you; but there must be something from
your side.''
What am to do, John?" she asked
with deceptive meekness.
We'll, 1 think you might-well-er-
express some regret that-that things
haven't been more harmonious at
home. You might hold out an olive
branch, you know"
Express regret?'
Don't stand on point Of pride now
Haven't you sometimes been-well a
little exacting-a little quick-tem-
pered?"
"Oh, you're in that old story, are
you? Quick-tempered! Suppose I am!
Haven't / enough to make me quick
tempered?"
Yes. now you have. But what about
the beginning?"
do you mean it was my fault in the
beginning?"
Don't you think so yourself? Partly.
at all events?"
Lady Harriet took up tortoise she'll
paper knife and played with it. Her
eyes were set hard on John, who did
not like the expression in them. He
became less glad that he had under
taken the embassy.
May a man desert and deceive his
pered?"
mo. no, Of course not; that's alb
surd."
ITS what you're saying. isn't it?"
I'VE must look at il as men and
women Of the world"
II look at it as a wife and a mother.
Do you mean to say 1t was my fault
in the beginning?"
John was losing patience; he saw
that some plain speaking would be nee
essary. but his want Of patience made
it hard for him to do the plain speak
ing wisely.
We'll. yes, do" he said. "In the
beginning, you know. Toms a good
natured fellow, and he was very fond
OF you. But you-well, you didn't
make his home pleasant to him; and
il a mans home isn't pleasant, you
know what's likely to happen"
And you're the friend L meant to
send forl"
Il am your friend-that's why 1 ven
ture TO speak TO you freely. There's no
hope unless you both realize where
you've been wrong. Tom acknowl-
edges his fault and is ready to change
his ways. But you must acknowledge
yours and change. too"
What is my fault?'
John took a turn up and down the
room.
Il must let her have it," he decided,
as he came back TO the hearthrug.
"You make everybody afraid of you
with your lamentable fits of temper"
he told her. Toms afraid of you, and
afraid of what you might drive him
into. The children are afraid cf you.
