sighed gently, with a touch of senti-
mental remembrance. And I thought
it so strong of you not to wear rings.
1t must be such temptation" She
looked down at her own fingers, gilt
tering with jewels. e
But the momentary pleasure of her
touch was gone. Chilcote drew. away
his hand and picked UP the book that
"'Other Mems Shoes" he read. "a
novel, of course?"
She smiled "Of course. Such a fan
tastic story-two men changing identi-

Chilcote rose and walked back to the
mantelpiece.
Changing identities" he said, with
a touch of interest.
Yes. One man is an artist, the 9TH
err a millionaire. One wants to know
what fame is like. the other wants to
know how it feels to be really sinfuily
rich. So they exchange experiences
for month" She laughed.
Chilcote laughed as we'll. But how:"
he asked.
-ssOh, I told you the idea was absurd.
Fancy two people so much alike that
neither their friends nor their servants
see any difference! Such thing
couldn't be, could it?'
Chilcote looked down at the fire.
NO" he said doubtfully. NO. I sup
pose not"
''Of course not. There are lkenesses,
but not freak likenesses like that"
Chilcote's head was bent as he spoke,
but at the last words he lifted it.

IL walked forward quickly and
aimlessly. With the sting of
the outer air the recollection of
last nights adventure came back upon
him. Since the hour of his waking it
had hung about with vague per-
sistence. but now in the clear light of
day it seemed to stand out with full
er popularity.
The thing was preposterous, never
theless 1t was genuine. He was wear
ing the overcoat he had worn the night
before. and acting on impulse. he thrust
bis hand into the pocket and drew out
the strangers card.
mfr. John Lodert" He read the name
over as he walked along. and it me-
chanically repeated itself in his brain,
falling into measure with his steps,
Who was John Loder? What was he?
The questions tantalized him till his
pace unconsciously increased. The
thought that two men so absurdly
alike could inhabit the same city and
remain unknown to each other faced
him as problem. 1t tangled with his
personal worries and aggravated them.
There seemed to be almost danger in
such an extraordinary likeness. He be-
gan to regret his inpetuosity in thrust
ing his card upon the man. Then,
again, how he had let himself go on
the subject of Lexington, How mar
rowly he had escaped compromise,
He turned hot and cold at the recollec-
ton of what he had said and what he
might have said. Then for the first
time he paused in his walk and looked
about him.

the Marble arch was reached. There,
still oblivious to his surroundings, he
had crossed the roadway to the Edg-
ware road, passing along it to the
labyrinth of shabby streets that lie be-
hind Paddington. Now, as he glanced
about him, he saw with some surprise
how far he had come.
The damp remnants OF the fog still
hung about the housetops in a filmy
veil. There We're no glimpses of green

The st. Georges came out rather
strong last night"
ChiIcote had moved back to the ia
BILE. His face was pale from his out
burst. and his fingers toyed restlessly
with the open newspaper.
Il haven't seen the st. Georges" he
said hastily. .Lakely is always ready
to shake the red rag where Russia is
concerned. Whether we are to enter
the arena is another matter. But what
about Craig -Burnage? / think you

'.Oh, don't worry about that, sir"
Blessington had caught the twitching
at the corners of Chilcote's mouth, the
nervous sharpness of his voice. II can
put Craig Burnage off. If they have
an answer by Thursday it will be time
enough" He began to collect his pa
pers, but Chilcote stopped him.
''Wait," he said, veering suddenly.
sWait. I'll see to it now. I'll feel
more myself when I've done some
thing Ill come with you to the
study
He walked hastily across the room;
then, with. his hand on the door, he
paused.
You go first, Blessington," he said.
'I'Il-I'Il follow you in ten minutes.
1 must glance through the newspapers
first"
Blessington looked uncertain. "You
won't forget, sir?"
Forget? OF course not"
Still doubtful, Blessington left the
room and closed the door.
Once alone Chilcote walked slowly
back to the table, drew up his chair
and sat down with his eyes ON the
white cloth, the paper lying UNDECIDED
beside him.
Time passed. A servant came into
the room to remove the breakfast.
Chilcote moved slightly when neces-
sary, but otherwise retained his atti-
tude. The servant, having finished his
task, replenished the fire and left the
room. Chilcote still sat on.
At last, feeling numbed, he rose and
crossed to the fireplace. The clock on
the mantelpiece stared him in the face.
He looked at 1t, started slightly, then
drew out his watch. Watch and clock

up innocently. "Shall 1 show you?"
Chilcote moved a small table nearer
to the couch aud spread his hands upon
it, palms downward. Like this, eh?"
he said Then righteousness seized
him, and he moved away. 'Some other
day." he said quickly. You can show
me some other day. I'm not very fit

If Lillian felt any disappointment she
showed none. Poor old thing." she
said softly. ''Try to sit here by me

She made place for him beside her.
and as he dropped into it she took his
hand and patted it sympathetically.
The touch was soothing. and he bore
it patiently enough. After a moment
she lifted the hand with little ex-
clamation of reproof.

ceased to manicure. What has become
