 Tt Is the story of an extraordinar. likeness between two men. Do you be lieve such likeness possible? Do yor think such a thing could exhtT' He spoke with difficulty. His brain and tongue both felt numb.
 Eve let the diamond chain slip from her fingers. "Yes," she said nervously. "Yes. do believe 1t Such things have been''-
 Loder caught at the words. You're quite right" he said quickly. You're quite right. The thing is possible. I've proved 1t. I know a man 50 like me that you. even you. could not tell us apart" ,'
 Eve was silent still averting her face.
 In dire difficulty he labored on. "Eve." he began once more. ''such a likeness is a serious thing-a terrible danger. a terrible temptation. Those who have no experience of 1t cannot possibly gauge its pitfalls" Again he paused. but again the silent figure by the fireplace gave him no help.
 Eve" he exclaimed suddenly, If you only knew, if you only guessed what I'm trying to say'- The perplex- ity. the whole harassed suffering of his mind showed in the words.

to draw first one thread md then an other from. the tanals of his thoughts to forge with doubt and difficulty tho
 chain thnt was to draw him toward the future.
 It was upon this same incomplete
 and yet tenacious chain that his mind
 worked as he traverssd the familiar
 streets and Ut last gained the house he
 had 50 easily learned to call home.
 As he inserted the latchkey and fell
 1t move smoothly in the lock a momen,
 tary revolt against his own judgment
 his own censorship, swung him sharply
 toward reaction. But 1t Is only the
 blind who cap walk without . tremor
 on the edge Of an abyss, and there was
 no longer . bandage across his eyes. The reaction flared up like a strip of lighted paper; then, like a strip of lighted paper, 1t dropped back to ashes. He pushed the door open and slowly crossed the hall.
 The mounting of staircase is often the index to mans state of mind. As Loder ascended the stairs of Chilcote's house his shoulders lacked their stiff- ness, his head was no longer erect. He moved as though his feet were weight ed. He had ceased to be the man of achievement whose smallest opinion compefs consideration. In the privacy of solitude he was the mere Human flot- sam to which he had once compared himself-the hotsam that, dreaming 1t has found harbor, wakes to find itself the prey of the incoming tide.
 He paused at the head of the stairs to rally his resolutions. Then, still walk ing heavily, he passed down the corri- dor to Ewes room. It was suggestive of his character that, having made his decision, he did not daily over its per formance. Without waiting to knock, he turned the handle and walked into the room.
 It looked precisely as 1t always look ed. but to Loder the rich, subdued col bring of books and howers-the whole air of culture and repose that the place conveyed-seemed to hold a deeper than before, and 1t was on the instant that his eyes. crossing the in- animate objects. rested on their owner that the true force of his position, the enormity of the task before him, made itself plain. Realization came to him with vivid, overwhelming force, and 1t must be accounted to his credit in the summing of his qualities that then, in that moment of trial. the thought of re

Loder laughed. The newly quickened interest was enhanced by treading on dangerous ground.
 Well, they change for a lark, of course, but there's one fact they both overlooked. They're men. you know, and they forget these little things! He laughed delightedly. "They over look the fact that one of lem has got . wifew
 There was a crash of music from the orchestra. Loder sat straighter in his seat. He was conscious that the blood had rushed into his face.
 "Oh, indeed?'' he said quickly. "One of them had a wife:'
 "Exactlyv' Again Kaine chuckled. sAnd the point of the joke is that the wife is the least larky person under the sun. See?"
 A second hot wave passed over Lo- der's face. A sense of mental disgust filled him. This, then. was the wonder .ful garden seen from another stand point! He looked from Lillian, grace eul. skeptical and shallow. to the young girl beside him. so frankly modern in ner appreciation of life. This, then. was love as seen by the eyes of the world-the world that accepts, judges and condemns in a slang phrase or two! Very slowly the blood receded from his face.
 And the end of the story?" he asked in a strained voice.
 The end? Oh, usual end, of course. Chap makes mess of things and the bubble bursts"
 And the end of the wife?"
 1.-The end of the wife?" Lillian broke in, with little laugh. "Why, the end
