A Swiss engineer announces a new

The company is growing in popu-

the audiences have been large at any
time when the weather has been at
all favorable. The electric fans have
been turned on. ice water is dis
tr;buted free and freely. and the man.
agement will be only too pleased to
receive any suggestions for the enter

his eyebrows cleared away.


With a feeling of satisfaction he re-
pressing suggestion that he should dine
with him at Cadogan gardens and dis
cuss the political outlook.
Lakeley must have written during
his absence, and Chilcote. having mark
ed the engagement, felt no further re-
sponsibility. The invitation could
scarcely have been verbal, as Chilcote,
he knew. had lain very low in the FIVE
days Of his return home.
So he argued as he stood with the
book still open In his hands, the blue
cross staring imperatively from the
white paper. And from the argument
rose thoughts and suggestions that
seethed in his mind long after the lights
had been switched off, long after the
fire had died down, and he had been
left wrapped in darkness in the great
canopied bed.
And so it came about that he took
his second false step. Once during the
press of the next mornings work ii
crossed his mind to verify his convic-
tons by a glance at the directory, but
for once the strong wish that evolves
a thought conquered his caution. His
work was absorbing; the need of veri-
fication seemed very small. He let the
suggestion pass.
At Z o'clock he dressed carefully. His
mind was full Of Lakeley and Of the
possibilities the night might hold; for
more than onc before the weight of
the st. Georges Gazette. with Lakeley
at its back, had turned the political
scales. To be marked by him as a
coming man was at any time a favora-
able portent; to be singled out by him
at the present juncture was mOmen-
tous. A thrill of expectancy, almost
excitement, passed through him as he
surveyed his appearance preparatory
to leaving the house.
Passing downstairs, he moved at
once to the hall door; but almost 80
his hand touched it he halted, attracted
by a movement on the landing above
him. Turning, he saw Eve.
She was standing quite still, looking
down upon him as she had looked once
before. AS their eyes met she changed
her position hastily.
you are going out?' she asked. And
1t struck Loder quickly that there was
a suggestion, a shadow Of disappoint-
ment In the tone Of her voice. Moved
by the impression, he responded with
unusual promptness.

In the five days of Punishment just
lived through the need for Il readjust-
ment of his position with regard to

memory Of the night when weakness
and he had been at perilouSly close
quarters had returned to him persist
emily and uncomfortably. spelling the
remembrance Of his triumph. 1t had
been well enough to smother the
thought of that night i'm days of work.
But had the ignoring of it blotted out
the weakness? Had ii not rather
thrown IL into boldcr relief? A man
strong in his own strength does not
turn his back upon temptation. He

hours spent in tramping the city

that had REQUIRED again and again, this
the problem To which, after much con
sidCratiOn, he had found Il solution, sat
iSfactory ut least TO himself. When
next Chllcotc called him 1t was nota-
bic that he had used the word "whcn"
and not "if.' When neXt Chilcote called
him lie would make a new departure. lie
would no longer avoid Eve. He would
successfully prove to himself that II

career. So does man satisfactorily con-

this intention fully in mind as he came
forward now.
We'll" he said slowly, has il been
very hard to have faith these last five
days?" 1t was not precisely the tone
he had meant to adopt, but one must
begin.
Eve turned at his words. Her eyes
were Drumming with life, her cheeks
still touched to n deep, soft color by
the %keenness Of the wintry air.
NO" she answered, with Il shy. re-
sponSive touch of confidence. Il seem.
ed to keep on believing. You know

laughed with slight embarrassment
and glanced up at him. Someti.ng In
the blue of her eyes reminded him I'LL.

and promise.
He moved abruptly and crossed the
Dol toward the window. Eve" he
said. without looking around, Il want

He heard the faint rustling Of her
dress as she turned toward him, and
he knew that he had struck the right
chord. All true women respond to IN
appeal for aid as steel answers to the
magnet. He could feel her expectancy
In the silence.

yes" he said. I'm dining out
dining with Lakcley."
She watched him intently while he
spoke: then, as the meaning of his
words reached her her whole face
frightened.
'With Mr.. LakeleyT' she said. "Oh,
I'm ~glad-very glad. 1t is quite quite
another step" she smiled with n warm,
impulsive touch of sympathy.
Loder, looking up ut her. felt his
senses stir. At sound Of her words his
secret craving for success ~quickened TO
stronger life. The man whose sole in
centive lies within may go forward
coldly and successfully; but the man
who grasps a double inspiration, who.
even unco~nsciously, Is impelled by m
other force, has Il stronger impetus for
attack, a surer. more vital hewing
power. Still watching her, he answer
ed instinctlvcly:
YES" he said slowly, "a long step"
And, with n smile of farewell, he turn
cd. opened the door and passed into the
road.
The thrill OF that one moment was
still warm as he reached Cadogan gar
dens and mounted the steps OF No. So
so vitality warm that he paused for an
instant before pressing the electric
bell. Then at last, dominated by antici-
patton, he turned and raised his hand.
The action was abrupt, and II was
only as his fingers pressed the bell that
a certain unexpectedness, a certain
want Of suitability In the aspect of the
house, struck him. The door was white;
the handle and knocker were Of mass
i've silver. The first seemed a disap-
pointing index of Lakeley's private
taste, the second Il ridiculous tempta-
ton to needy humanity. He looked
again at the number of the house, but
1t stared back ut him ~convincingly.
Then the door opened.
so keen was his sense of unftness
that, still trying to fuse his impression
of Lakeley with the idea of silver door
fittings, he stepped into the hall with
out the usual preliminary question.
Suddenly realizing the necessity, he
turned to the servant, but the man fore
stalled him:
will you come into the white room,
sir? And may l take your coat?"
The smooth certainty Of the mans
manner surprised him. 1t held another
SAVIOR of disappointment, seeming as
little in keeping with the keen, busl-
nesslike Lakeley as did the house. Still
