Mil Cressy' Hubert asked. II thought
4 would Be- good Il ] were to 50 to ny
fathers lawyers"
-Ay.. Ben agreed, shat would be very
good.
II am going to send you to Antonio.
tso- myself, I don't remember exactly
where these lawyers are to bs found"
.Glve me your note,s Ben said. with q
smile. I'll be the postman. We viii
meet here In couple OF hours time"
they parted with hand.clasp. and
Hubert stood and watched Ben's great,
big form pass down the street out OF
sight.
.what heart of sold~ he said to
himself.
A smile fingered on his lips; then he
sighed and turned to his business of the
day. CHANGING through the directory, ne
found 1t difficult to fix on the locality IN
worked for his father.
He knew that they had Offices in
somewhat fashionable part, not in .he
usual legal neighborhood and 50 he deter
I1lned to walk and find these Offices By
inquiries.
1t was while he was making these IN
euiries In small but evidently old-es-
tablished tobacconist's that name was
spoken that sent the blood coursing like
Gre through his veins. One OF the as
sistants in the shop was giving an order
10 a messenger.
These cigars are to be taken 10 Sir
Gera,d Tenby's rooms at once"
Can You tell me where can find
nir Gerald Tenby?r asked Hubert. and
a. he uttered the name Of the man who
had ruined him his heart beat wildly.
The assistant gave him the address at
once. With a word of thanks, Hubert
turned and left the shop. All at once a
sudden resolution seized him. He would
70 to Gerald, he would throw in this
mans teeth the accusation OF treachery.
BE was no longer the foolish boy ne had
been two years before. It would be
case Of man to man; and. as Gerald had
not spared him, he would show no merc5.
He came TO a pause only when he stood
nj the door Of the luxurious sure OF
rooms that was Gerald Tenby's London
home. The valet who opened the door
looked at him curiohsly.
.Sir Gerald is engaged" he said. But
IIebers swept him on one side.
.IIe will rec me" he answered CURLY:
and the valet understood at once that this
man belonged 70 the world Of those whom
he served. He opened the door, making
the apology that has been already scr
down, ard Hubert followed him INTO tie
room.
The three men within that room stood
In silence till the servant had withdrawn.
II was Gerald who found his voice first.
what are you doing he-eT he said
hoarse.y. by what right do you come
into my loom like this?"
Stanton had quickly recovered himself
.My dear Gerald" he said hurried;y,
.don't forget that this Is your cousin"
He turned as he spoke, and stretched
out his hand to Hubert.
.you must forgive us If we looked star
tied. You have been supposed to be dead
for more than year"
hubert ignored the outstretched hand.
.would you kindly leave us?' he said
to stanton. II have things to say to Ger
aid Tenby that prefer to speak alone
stanton passed out Of tho room with .
good assumption Of unconcern; but when
he was alone In the passage be stood and
leaned against the wall.
Fate was hurrying on the crisis What
did Hubert Tenby mean by coming at such
a moment? This robbed him Of his strong
est weapon. With the threat Of Hubert's
coming to hold over Gerald be would have
gcr all he wanted Now George
Stanton looked about him nervousiy. Was
Il ruinf
He pulled himself together suddenly. A
door at the end Of the passage was open.
"a, and the valet came toward him.
