Loder colored with annoyance and
apprehension. Every look, every tone,

microscope could have revealed her
more fully 10 him than did his own
eyesight But il was not the moment
for personal antipathies; there were
other interests than his own Mt stake.
With new resolution he returned her

strength and capacity had responded
TO the appeal
His step was firm and his bearing as

house.
The habit Of self deceit Is as lnsidl-
Gus and tenacious as any vice. For one

FOl 1T Loder did not leave London,
Xxi and the hour OF on the day
tk following his dismissal OF

sitting room.
He sat at the center table surrounded
by a cloud OF smoke; a pipe was be-
tween his lips and the mornings
newspapers lay In a heap beside his
elbow. To the student OF humanity
his attitude was intensely interesting.
Ii was the attitude OF a man tram
meled by the knowledge or his
strength. Before him as he sat smok-
ing stretched a future OF absolute
nothingness, and toward this blank fu-
ture one portion OF his consciousness
a struggling and as yet scarcely sen
fient portlon-pushed him inevitably:
