He feared that something irrevocable
had come between him and the girl he
loved, and her pallor only Intensified
his longing to be done with the whole
thing. to be alone with her, and to have
the explanation which he desired SO
keenly and yet dreaded so acutely
For what Lord Malvin had said to him
had stabbed him with deadly fear, as
each solemn, significant word rang
through the room.
Could 1t be-" he asked himself
could it possibly be that these people
suspected or knew anything?"
His quick brain answered the ques-
tion In Its own swift and logical fash

words were coincidence, and that
was all. No. he did not fear, and pos
sibly, he thought, the long strain OF
work and worry had had its influence
upon his nerves, and he had become
morbid and unstrung.
That fear passed, but, there was still
in his heart the fear and, strangely
enough, an even greater fear-that
he would never now make Marjorie his
own.
HIS outwards face and demeanor
showed nothing Of the storm and riot
within. He was calm, self-possessed

his discoveries, to be adequate, conf
dent and serene.
