explain. reticence, reluctance to in
trude upon this one precinct, caused
his fingers to relax With slightly
embarrassed gesture he drew back
slowly and retraced his steps.
Once In Chilcote's bedroom, he walk
ed to the nearest bell and pressed 1t.
Renwick responded, and at sight Of
him Loder's feelings warmed with the
same sense Of fitness and familiarity
that the great bed and somber furni-
ture Of the room had inspired.
But the man did not come forward
as he had expected. He remained close
to the door with hesitation that was
unusual In trained servant. II struck
Loder that possibly his stolfdity had
exasperated Chileote and that possibly
Chilcote had been at no pains to con-
ceal the evaporation. The idea caused
him to smile Involuntary.
Come into the room, Renwick," he
said. "It's uncomfortable to see you
standing there want to know IL Mrs.
Chilcote has sent me any message
about tonight"
Renwick studied him furtively as he
came forward. Yes. sir" he said.
"Mrs. Chilcote's maid said that the car
rage was ordered for 1918, and she
hoped that would suit you" He spoke
reluctantly, as IL expecting rebuke.
At the opening sentence LOder had
turned aside, but now, as the man I'm
ished, he wheeled round again and
looked at him closely with his keen,
observnnt eyes.

Gently at any rate. You'll have to learn

thrill Of risk and Of rulership passed
through him as he spoke. Look at me
now! Do l look as looked this morn
ing-or yesterday"
The man eyed him half stupidity, half
timidly.
.'Well?" Loder insisted,
"Well, SIR" Renwick responded, with
some slowness, you look the same and
you look different-a healthier color,
perhaps, sir, and the eye clearer" He
grew more confident under Loder's
half humorous. half insistent gaze.
Nov that I look closer. sir
Loder laughed. That's it," he said.
'.Now that you look closer. You'll have
to grow observant. Observation is an
excellent quality In a servant. When
you come into room in future, look
first Of all to me and take you cue

Nothing further. shan't want

moved toward the door he wheeled
back again. ooh, one thing more.

Ing since early afternoon.
A few minutes after 10 Loder left
Chilcote's room, resolutely descended
the stairs and took up his position in
the hall. Resolution Is q strong word
to apply to such proceeding, but
something In his bearing, in the atti
tude Of his shoulders and head, IN
stinctively suggested 1t.
Five or six minutes passed. but he
waited without Impotence. Then at
last the sound Of carriage stopping
before the house caused him to lift his
head, and at the same instant Eve ap
peared at the head OF the staircase.
She stood there for second, looking
down on him, her maid pace or two
behind holding her cloak. The picture
she made struck upon his mind with
something Of revelation.
On his first sight of her she had ap
pealed to him as a strange blending Of
youth and self possession--a girl with q
woman's clearer perception OF life.
Later he had been drawn to study her
In other respects-as a possible comrade
and friend. Now for the first time he
saw her as q power in her own world
q woman to whom no man could deny
consideration. She looked taller for
the distance between them, and the
distinction Of her carriage added to the
effect Her black gown was exquisite
" sofas soft as her black hair.
Above her forehead was q cluster Of
splendid diamonds shaped like coro-
net, and band Of the same stones en-
circled her neck. Itoder realized in a
glance that only the most distinguished
Of women could wear such ornaments
and not have her beauty eclipsed. With
touch Of the old awkwardness that
had before assalled him in her pres
ence. he came slowly forward as she
descended the stairs.
Can help you with your cloak 2, he
asked, and US he asked It something
like surprise at his own timidity Cross
ed his mind.
For second Ewes glance rested on
his face. Her expression was quite i'm
passive, but as she lowered her lashes
a faint CLEAN fickered across her eyes.
Nevertheless, her answer, when 1t
came, was studiously courteous.
Thank you" she said, "but Marie
will do all want"
Loder looked at her for a moment,
then turned aside. He was not hurt by
his rebuff. Rather. by an interesting
sequence Of Impressions he was stirred
by it. The pride that had refused Chill
cote's help, and the self control that
had refused 1t gracIously, moved him
to admiration. He understood and APP
preciated both by the light Of personal
experience.

@0HE best moments or mans life
are the moments when, strong
In himself he feels that the
world lies before him. Gratified
ambition may be the summer, but an
ticipation is the ardent sprlngtime Of
a mans career.
As Loder drove that night from Fleet
street to Grosvenor square he realized
this, though scarcely with any degree
of consciousness, for he was no accom-
plished self analyst But in wave Of
feeling too vigorous to be denied he
recognized his regalned foothold-the
step that lifted him at once from the
pit to the pinnacle.
In that moment of realization he look
ed neither backward nor forward. The
present was NIL sufficing. Difficulties
might loom ahead, but difficulties had
but one object-the testing and sharp
ening Of mans strength. In the first
deep surge Of egotistical feeling he al
most rejoiced In Chilcote's weakness.
The more Chilcote tangled the threads
Of his life the stronger must be the
fingers that unraveled them. He was
possessed by great impatience. The
Joy Of action was stirring In his blood.
Leaving the cab, he walked confident
ly to the door Of Chtlcote's house and
inserted the latchkey. Even in this
small act there was q grain Of indl-
vidual satisfaction. Then very quietly
he opened the door and crossed the hall.
AS he entered. footman was ar
ranging the fire that burned in the big
crate. Seeing the man, he halted.
Where is your mistress?" he asked
In unconscious repetition Of his first
question in the same house.
The man looked up. "She has just
finished dinner, sir. She dined alone in
her own room" He glanced at Loder
In the quick, uncertain way that was
noticeable in all the servants Of the
household when they addressed their
master. Loder saw the look and won
dered what depth Of curiosity 1t be-
trayed, how much Of insight into the
domestic life that he must always be
content to skim. For an instant the old
resentment against Chilcote tinged his
exaltation, but he swept It angrily
aside. Without further remark he be-
gan to mount the stairs.
Gaining the landing, he did not turn,
as usual, to the door that shut or Chill
cote's rooms. but moved onward down
the corridor toward Ewes private sit
ting room. He moved slowly till the
door was reached. Then he paused and
lifted his hand. There was moments

FORGOT He Had a Family.

Chicago-Eugene Bayer Mertens was
reunited yesterday with six brothers
and sisters whom he had not seen IN
fifteen years and Of whose existence ne
had forgotten. 1t is a remarkable story
this story of a man who partly by
accident meets a whole family Of rela-
tives after forgetting that he had any
at all.
Mr.. Mertens is the assistant pur-
chasing agent for the Federal Com
pany, dealer in sanitary specialties, and
the reunion was brought about at the
home of his sister Mrs. Mary Meters,
69S South California avenue.
Fifteen years ago a family of nine
orphans was suddenly bereft of the
widowed mother and cast upon the
world without a home. Eugene and hts
youngest sister were placed in the
Guardian Angel asylum, 101 Devon av-
enue. where they were kept until sep
arate foster parents adopted them.
Eugene was taught to believe that
his adopted parent, Mrs. William f.
Mertens, was his real mother and 1t
was only by chance that he learned diff
ferently last week. Vague memories
were instantly aroused in his mind and
he persuaded the woman to divulge
the entire truth to him. Then adver-
tisements were inserted in the daily pa
pers and all his kindred located. Six
of the brothers and sisters live in Chi
cago.
