 Eve was standing by the mantel, piece. She wore a beautiful gown, a long string of diamonds was twisted about her neck, and her soft, black hair was coiled high after foreign fashion and held in place by large diamond comb. Ar he entered she turn ed hastily, almost nervously, and look. ed at him with the rapid, searching glance he had learned to expect from her. Then almost directly her expres- sion changed to one of quick concern. With faint exclamation of alarm she stepped forward.
 What has happened?" she said. You look like ghost"
 Loder made no answer. Moving into the room, he paused by the oak table that stood between the fireplace and the door.
 They made an unconscious tableau as they stood there-he with his hard set face, she with her heightened col or, her inexplicably bright eyes. They stood completely silent for a space space that for Loder held no sugges- ton of time. Then, finding the tension unbearable, Eve spoke again.
 Has anything happened?" she ask ed. "Is anything wrong?"
 Had he been less engrossed the in tensity of her concern might have struck him, but in a mind 50 harnssed as his there was only room for one consideration - the consideration of himself. The sense of her question reached him, but its significance left him untouched.
 'Ts anything wrongr she reiterated for the second time.
 By an effort he raised his eyes. No man, he thought, since the beginning of the world was over set a task so cruel as his. Painfully and slowly his lips parted.
 Everything in the world is wrong." he said in slow, hard voice.
 Eve said nothing, but her color sud denly deepened.
 Again Loder was unobservant but with the dogged resolution that mark ed him he forced himself to his task.
 You despise lies," he said at last "Tell me what you would think of a man whose whole life was one elab- orated lie." The words were slightly exaggerated, but their utterance. their painfully brusque sincerity, precluded all suggestion of effect. Resolutely

FEW minutes before the cur. TAI tain fell on the second act of
 H "Other Mems Shoes" Loder
 rose from his seat and made his apologies to Lillian.
 At any other moment he might have pondered over her manner of accept ing them-the easy indifference with which she let him go. But vastly keener issues were claiming his atten- ton, issues whose results were wide and black.
 He left the theater and, refusing the overtures of cabmen, set himself to walk to Chilcote's house. His face was hard and emotionless as he hur- ried forward, but the chaos In his mind found expression in the unevenness of his pace. To a strong man the con- fronting of difficulties is never alarm ing and fS often fraught with inspira- ton, but this applies essentially to the difficulties evolved through the weak ness, the folly or the force of another; when they arise from within the mat ter is of another character. It Is In presence of his own soul, and in that presence alone, that a man may truly measure himself.
 As Loder walked onward. treading the whole familiar length of traffic filled street, he realized for the first time that he was standing before that solemn tribunal-that the hour had come when he must answer to himself for himself. The longer and deeper an oblivion the more painful the awaken ing. For months the song of self had beaten about his ears. deadening all other sounds; now abruptly that song had ceased. not considerately. not lin- geringly, but with a suddenness that made the succeeding silence very ter rible.
 He walked onward. keeping his d. rection unseelngly. He was passing through the fire as surely as though actual flames rose about his feet. and whatever the result. whatever the fiber of the man who emerged from the or deal. the John Loder who had hewn his way through the past weeks would exist no more. The triumphant egotist. the strong man who by his own strength had kept his eyes upon one point. refusing to see in other dlrec- tions. had ceased to be.
 Keen though 1t was. his realization of this crisis in his life had come with characteristic sIowness. When Lillian Astrupp had given her dictum. when the music of the orchestra had ceased and the curtain risen on the second act of the play. nothing but a sense of stupefacfion had filed his mind. Tn that moment the great song vas si- Ienced. not by any portentous episode. not by any incident that could have lent dignity to its end. but. with the full measure of Hfe's irony. by trivial social commonplace. In the first sen sation of blank loss his faculties hsd been numbed- Tn the quarter of an hocr that followed the rise of the cur tain he hsd sat staring at the stage seeing nothing. hearing nothing. filled with the snornity of the void that sud denly surrounded him Then from habit from constitutional tendency. ke had bezgn slowly and pszzeIerinsly

For the first time it occurred 10 him that loye-the dangerous. mysterious garden whose paths had so suddenly stretched out before his own feet-was a pleasure ground that possessed many doors and an infinite number of keys. He was stirred by the desire to peer through another entrance than his own. to see the secret. alluring byways from an- other standpoint. He waited with in- terest for the answer to his question.
