"What does it mean?' l asked in
credulously. ''Why is she going 50 sud-
denly? How does she know anything
about Constantine What has ended"
Karl turned aside and pretended to
look out of the window. The soft-heart
ed fellow was ashamed to let us see the
tears in his eyes.
l examined the telegram more closely.
1t had been a long time on the way, near
" an hour. 1t was despatched before

And what was the significance of Karls

l glanced at him again, but his head
was bowed, his face hidden by his hands.
Silence was best, just then.
l had no knowledge of the torture Karl
had undergone until he turned toward
me again, and | found a gravity in
his face which had not been there
before. Since that morning two little
lines had developed between his eyebrows
at the junction of nose and forehead.
That is Natures way of minting her crude
gold-iust touch of the finger of ex-
perience, no matter if the agony be of
soul or body, and there is no machine can
stamp its token more indelibly.
''Maggie's message is her last word to
me-" he said. She means that she will
endeavor never to see or hear from me
again
Even his father was troubled by the
marked restraint in his voice; but l felt
that the mere effort of discussion would
be helpful.

cried You two will find each other,
whether you like it or not. You did so
before, and you will do it again. The
settlement is not in your hands, unless

You do not understand" said Karl.
Perhaps you may meet her sometime.
Please tell her what l have said. Let
it rest at that"

would have been ended long since. Good

fellow Constantine to us that we should

you, Karl, that the only thing which
troubles me is the fear that this latter-day
witchcraft of yours may be interior
ing with your work if not actually
undermining your health"
But KarIs obvious wishes should be
respected. l pretended to agree with
his father. | used the customary plati-
tudes anent his career and the necessity
there was to endeavor in future to re-

''Nor l, hardly ever" l managed to
say, for the ardent spirit Refrigerated
me. And let me interpo1ate here, as a
breathing space in a thrilling moment,
that it is a fine thing never to drink
brandy when in good health; thus it
becomes an invaluable tonic in physical
suffering or mental depression.
Well, | FASTENED to the hotel, and
as | expected, Karl was in a highly
distressed state, and | was called on to
deride in him the foolish conceit which
had shaken my soul at the docks. His
fathers British phlegm was superb on
this trying occasion. To him, COnstan-
tine was an admitted scoundrel, and a
black one at that.

his untimely dccease was dlspensation
of Providence!'
You cannot argue with a man who de
scribes such a tragedy as Constantine's
as an "untimely decease." The phrase
lent to our discussion a grim humor of
which my excellent friend was sublimely
unconscious.
And indeed, looking back in calmness
to the tumultuous thoughts of that day,
| have ever been thankful that his stolid
god sense came to our aid. 1t must not
be forgotten that Grier the elder had small
experience of Karl's sixth sense. He was
piling up money; and for what? To enable
Karl to enter Parliament, marry well, and
earn a peerage. | suspected that he was
profoundly annoyed with me for seeming
to encourage the exercise of the teieg-
nornic sense, and it was a proud moment
for me when, not long ago, he confessed
his error and recanted his opinions.
However, he was rock to which we
chung for salvation during that storm
tossed afternoon in a Liverpool hotel,
for we had barely resolved to take the
next train to Oxford and London re-

He opened and read the message with
a strange listlessness. Il was expecting
something of the kind, " he said, handing
