denly-'but I feel beastly-have felt beastly for weeks"
 The other looked at him more close ly. Anything wrongy he asked. IL was a novel experience to be conflded in by Chilcote.
 "Oh, it's the grind-the internal grind" As he said 1t it seemed to him suddenly that his strength gave way. He forgot his companion, his position, everything except the urgent instinct that filled mind and body. Scarcely knowing what he did he rose and leaned forward to whisper in Fraide's ear.
 Fraide was seen to turn, his thin face interested and concerned, then he was seen to nod once or twice in ac- quiescence, and moment later Chil- cote stepped dr1etly out of his place
 One or two men spoke to him as he hurried from the house, but he shook them off almost unclvilly. and, making for the nearest exit, hailed a cab.
 The drive to Grosvenor square was a misery. Time after time he changed from one corner of the cab to the other. his acute internal pains prolonged by every delay and increased by every motion. At last, weak in all his limbs, he stepped from the vehicle at his own door.
 Entering the house, he instantly mounteis the stairs and passed to his own rooms. Opening the bedroom door. he peered in cautiously. then pushed the door wide. The light had been switched on, but the room was empty. With a nervous excitement scarcely to be kept in check. he enter cd, shut and locked the door. then mov- cd to the wardrobe and. opening 1t. drew the tube of tabloIds from the shelf.
 His hand shook violently as inc car ried the tube to the table. The strain of the day. the anxiety of the past hours. with their final failure. had found sudden expression. Mixing a larger dose than any he had before al- lowed himself. he swallowed 1t hastily and. walking across the room. threw himself, fully dressed. upon the bed.

neither their friends nor their servants see any differences! Such thing couldn't be. could it7".
 Chilcote looked down at the fire. "No," he said doubtfully. "No. I sup pose not" f rt
 "Of course not. There are Iikenesses, but not freak likenesses like that"
 Chilcote's head was bent as he spoke. but at the last words he lifted 1t.
 By love! I don't know about thatr' he said Not so very long ago I saw two men so much alike that IF He stopped.
 Lillian smiled.
 He colored quickly. "You doubt mey' he asked.
 My dear Jack" Her voice was del icately reproachful.
 "Then you think that my-my i'm agination has been playing me tricksT'
 My dear hoy. Nothing of the kind. Come back to your place and tell me the whole taley' She smiled again, and patted the couch invitingly.
 But Chilcote's balance had been up- set. For the first time he saw Lillian as one of the watchful, suspecting crowd before which he was constantly on guard. Acting on the sensation. he moved suddenly toward the door.
 Fl have an appointment at the house." he said quickly. '1'll look In another dag when-when I'm better company. I know I'm a bear today My nerves. you know" He came back to the couch and fnok her hand. Then he touched her cheeK for an instant with his fingers.
 ''Goodby." be said. "Take care of yourself-and the kitten" he added with forced gayety. as he crossed the room.
 That afternoon Chilcote's nervous condition reached It's height All day he had avoided the climax, but no evasion can be eternal. and this he realized as be sat in his place on the opposition benches during the half hour of wintry twilight that precedes the turning on of the lights. He real ized 1t In that half hour. but the applI cation of the knowledge followed later. when the time came for him to ques- ton the government on some point re- iating to the proposed additional dry dock at Talkley. the naval base. Then for the first time he knew that the suf- Serings of the past months could have a visible as well as hidden side-could disorganize his daily routine as they had already demoralized his will and character.
 The. thing came upon him with ex- traordinary lack of preparation. He sat through the twilight with tolerable calm. his nervousness showing only in the occasional lifting of his hand to his collar and the frequent changing of his position. buf when the lights were turned on and he leaned back in his seat with closed eyes he became conscious of a curious impression-a disturbing iiea that through his closed lids be couii see the faces on the op- pOsite side of the house. see the rows | of eyes. sleepy. interested or yizilant- l Never before had the sensation pre- l sented itself. but once set up 1t ran | through all his suscepfIbiltiesl By an absurd freak of fancT those varying | eyes seenel to pierce through his Ids. almost through his eyebaIlA he cold

perspiratlon that was his daily horror broke out on his forehead, and at the same moment Fraide, his leader, turn |. ed. leaned over the back of his seat and touched his knee.
 Chilcote started and opened his eyes. T-I believe I was dozing," he said confusedly.
 Fraide smiled his dry, kindly smile. "A fatal admission for a member of the opposition" he said. But I was looking for you earlier in the day, Chilcote. There is something behind this Persian affair. believe 1t to be a mere first move on Russia's part You big trading people will find is worth watching"
 Chilcote shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, l don't know" he said. q scarcely believe In 1t. Lakely put match tc the powder in the St. Georges. but twill only be a noise and a puff of smoke"
 But Fraide did not smile. What is the feeling down at wark?" he asked Has it awakened any interestT'
 At Wark? Oh. I-I don't quite know. I have been a little out of touch with Wark In the last few weeks. X man has so many private affairs to look to- He was uneasy under his chiefs scrutiny.
 Fraide's lips parted as if to make re- ply. but with a certain dignified reti- cence he closed them again and turnet. away.
 Chilcote leaned back in his place and furtrely passed his hand over his fore head. His mind was possessed by one consideration - the consideration of himself. He glanced down the crowd cd. lighted house to the big glass doors; he glanced about him at his col leagues. indifferent or interested: then surreptitiously his fingers strayed te his waistcoat pocket
 Usually he carried his morphia tab lolds with him. but today by a lapse of memory he had left them at home. He knew this. nevertheless he contin- ued to search. while the need of the drug rushed through him with a sense of physical sickness. He lost hold on the business of the house: unconscious ly he half rose from his seat.
 The man next him looked up. Hold your ground. Chilcote.- he said Ray forth is drying up."
 With a wave of relief Chilcote drop ped back into his place. Whatever the confusion in his mind it was evident ly not obvious in his face.
 Rayforth resumed his seat. there was the usual slight stir and pause; then Salett. the member for Salchester. rose.
 With SaIett's first words Chilcote's hand again sought his pocket. and again his eyes strayed toward the doors. but FraIde's erect head and stiff back just in front of him held him quiet With an effort he pulled out his notes and smoothei them nervous ly: but. though his gaze was fixed on the pages.

 But the momentary pleasure of her touch was gone. ChilcOte drew away his hand and picked up the book that ] Iay between them.

had been soiled by time and the letters for the most part reduced to shadows, SO that, taken in conjunction with the gaunt staircase and bare walls, the place had cheerless look.
 Inside, however. the effect was some. what mitigated. The room on the right hand as one entered the small passage that served as hall was of fair size, though low ceiled. The paint of the wall paneling, like the name above the outer door. had long ago been worn to a dirty and nondescript hue, and the floor was innocent of carpet. Yet in the middle of the room stood fine old Cromwell table, and on the plain deal bookshelves and along the mantel- piece were some valuable books-polit- ical and historical. There were no cur tains on the windows and a common reading lamp with green shade stood on desk. It was the room of man with few hobbies and no pleasures. who existed because he was alive and worked because he must.
 Three nights after the great fog John Loder sat by his desk in the light of the green shaded lamp. The remains of very frugal supper stood on the center table, and in the grate small and economical looking fire was burn ing.
 Having written for close on two hours, he pushed back his chair and stretched his cramped fingers Then he yawned, rose and slowly walked across the room. Reaching the mantel- piece he took pipe from the pipe rack and some tobacco from the jar that stood behind the books. Ills face looked tired and a little worn, as Is common with men who have worked long at an uucongenial task. Shredding the tobacco between his hands he slowly filled the pipe. then lighted 1t from the fire with spill of twisted paper.
 Almost at the moment that he ap- piled the light the sound of steps mounting the uncarpeted stairs outside caught hls attention and he raised his head to listen.
 Presently the steps halted and he heard a match struck. The stranger was evidently uncertain of his where abouts. Then the steps moved forward again and paused.
 An expression of surprise crossed Loder's face and he laid down his pipe As the visitor knocked he walked quietly across the room and opened the door.
 The passage outside was dark and the newcomer drew back before the light from the room.
 "Mr. LoderT' he beean interroga- lively. Then all at once be laughed ir embarrassed apology. Forgive me- he said The light rather dazzied me. I didn't realize who it was-
 Loder recognized the voice as belong ing to his acquaintance of the fog
 -Oh. it's your he said Wont you come inT His voice was . little cold This sudden resurrection Left him sur, prised. and not quite pleasantly sur prfsed- He waIked back to the fire place. followed by his guest.
 The guest seemed nervous and agf tnted T must apologize for the bou of ny visit.- De said -Ny-my tine s not quite ny own- -Ied9 vayed hie hand -wbess tims

is his ownT he said Chilcote, encouraged by the remark 1 drew nearer to the fire. Until this mo ment he had refrained from looking al rectly at his host Now, however. h. raised his eyes. and. despite his prepa ration. he recoiled unavoidably befor, the extraordinary resemblance. Seer here. in the casual surroundings of , badly furnished and crudcly lighted room, 1t was even more astounding than 1t had been in the mystery of tht fog.
 Forgive me-" he said again. Tt i' physical. purely physical. am bowiet over against my will"
 Loder smiled. The slight contempt that Chilcote had first inspired rost a9aln. md with 1t a second feeling lesl easily defined. The man seemed so, un- stable. so incapable, yet so grotesquely suggestive to himself.
 "The likeness is rather overwhelm- ing" he said, but not heavy enough to sink under. Come nearer the fire. What brought you here? Curiosity" There was q wooden armchair by the fire place. He indicated 1t with a wave of the hand, then turned and took up his smoldering pipe.
 Chilcote, watching him furtively. obeyed the gesture and sat down.
 Tt is extraordinary" he said, as if unable to dismiss the subject. "It-it is quite extraordinary"
 The other glanced round. Let's drop it." he said. Its so confoundedly ob- vious." Then his tone changed. Wont you smoke?r be asked.
 Thanks" Chilcote began to tumble for his cigarettes.
 But bis host forestalled him. Taking a box from the mantelpiecs he held 1t out
 My one extravaganceg' he said iron- ically. My resources bind me to one: and 1 think I have made wise selec- tion. It Is about the only vice we haven't to pay for six times over" He glanced sharply at the face 90 absurdly like his owr. then. lighting . fresh spill. offered his guest light.
 Chilcote moIstened his cigarette and leaned forward In the flare of the paper his face looked set and anxioua but Loder saw that the lips did not twitch as they had done on the pre- vious occasion that be had given him a light. and a look of comprehension crossed his eyes.
 What will you have. or. rather. will you have c whiskyf Ikeep noth- ing else. Hospitality is one of the de- barred luxuries.-
 Chilcofe shook his head T seldom drink But don't let that deter you
 Loder smiled T have one drink h the twenty four hours-eeneraily at 2 o'ciock. when my nights work Is done. A solitary man has to look where be is eoing-
