Outside the law courts he dismissed his cab and walked forward to Clif- ford's inn. AS he passed through the familiar entrance . chill fell on him. In the clear. early light 1t seemed more than ever place of dead hopes, dead enterprises, dead ambitions. In the onward march of life 1t had been for gotten. The very air had breath of unfulfllment
 He crossed the court rapidly, but his mouth set itself afresh as he passed through the doorway of bis own house and crossed the bare hall.
 As he mounted the well known stairs he received hls first indication of life in the appearance of cat from the second floor rooms. At sight of him the animal came forward, rubbed demon stratively against his legs and with af- fectionate persistence followed him up stairs.
 Outside his door he paused. On the ground stood the usual morning can of mIlk-evidcnce that Chilcote was not yet awake or that, like himself, he had no appetite for breakfast. He smiled ironically as the idea struck him, but it was smile that stintened rather than relaxed his lips. Then he drew out the duplicate key he always carried and, inserting 1t quietly, opened the door. A close, unpleasant smell greet ed him as he entered the small passage that divided the bed and sitting rooms
 "a smell of whisky mingling with the odor of stale smoke. With quick gesture he pushed open the bedroom door. Then on the threshold he paused. look of contempt and repulsion pass ing over his face.
 In his first glance he scarcely grasp ed the details of the scene. for the half drawn curtains kept the light dim. but as his eyes grew accustomed to the ob- scurity he gathered their significance.
 The room had sleepless. jaded air the room that under his own occupation had shown rigid, almost monastic se- verity. The plain dressing table was filtered with cigarette ends and marked with black and tawny patches where the tobacco had been left to burn itself out. On one corner of the table carafe of water and whisky decanter rested one against the other. as if for support, and at the other end an over turned tumbler lay in a pool of liquid. The whole effect was sickly and nause- ating. Ills glance turned involuntarily to the bed and there halted
 On the hard, narrow mattress, from which the sheets and blankets had fall en in dlsordered heap, lay Chilcote. He was fully dressed in a shabby tweed suit of Loder's; his collar was open. his lip and chin unshaven; one

 'Renwick." he said sharply. "when you've given that letter to Mir. Fraide's servant ask Mrs. ChiIcote if she can spare me five minutes"
 When Renwick had gone and closed the door behind him LOder paced the room with feverish activity. In one moment the aspect of life had been changed. Five minutes since he had teen -lorying in the risk of q barely saved situation: now that situation with it's merely social complications had become q matter of small imqoT- fance.

ND Loder dined with Lillian IA Astrupp. We live in an age
 " when society expects, even ex- S acts, much He dined, not through bravado and not through cow ardice, but because it seemed the ob- tious, the only thing to do. To him a scene of any description was distaste- ful. To Lillian it was unknown. In her world people loved pr hated. were spiteful or foolish, were even quixotic or dishonorable, but they seldom made scenes. Loder tacitly saw and tacitly accepted this.
 Possibly they ate extremely little during the course of the dinner and talked extraordinarily much on sub jects that interested neither, but the main point at least was gained. They dined. The conventionalities were ap- peased. The silent, watchful servants who waited on them were given no food for comment. The fact that Lo- der left immediately after dinner, the fact that he paused on the doorstep after the hall door had closed behind him and drew long, deep breath of relief, held only an individual signifi- canoe and therefore did not count.
 On reaching Chilcote's house he pass ed at once to the study and dismissed Greening for the night. But scarcely had he taken advantage of his solitude by settling into an armchair and light ing cigar than Renwiek, displaying an unusual amount of haste and i'm portance, entered the room, carrying a letter.
 Seeing Loder he came forward at once. "Mr. Fraide's man brought this, slr," he explained. He was most par ticular to give 1t into my hands, mak- ing sure 'twould reach you. He's wait ing for an answer. sir"

His face. pale, almost earthy in hue. might have been mask save for the slight convuisive spasms that crossed 1t from time to time and eorresponded with the faint. shivering starts that passed at intervals over his whole body. To complete his repellent appearance, a lock of hair had fallen loose and lay black and damp across his forehead.
 Loder stood for a space shocked and spellbound by the sight. Even in the ghastly disarray the likeness-the ex- traordinary. sinister likeness that had become the pivot upon which he him. self revolved-struck him like a blow. The man who lay there was himself, bound to him by some subtle. inexplic- able tie of similarity. As the idea touched him he turned aside and step ped quickly to the dressing table. There. with unnecessary energy. he flung back the curtains and threw the window wide. Then again he turned toward the bed. He had one dominant impulse, to waken Chilcote, to be free of the repulsive, inert presence that chilled him with so personal horror. Leaning over the bed. he caught the shoulder nearest to him and shook 1t. It was not the moment for nicetics. and his gesture was rough.
 At his first touch Chilcote made no response-his brain. dulled by indul- gence in his vice. hnd become a lag gard in conveying sensations-but nt last. ss the pressure on his shoulder increased. his nervous system seemed suddenly to jar into consciousness.
