For several days he had been con-

it would be desirable if he could only
control himself in TankerIane's pres

done him more harm than good He
did not trouble himself about Tanker

what had happened to Laura. She
might have left him tor good and all ::
or she might even be dead.
No harm could come from such al
interview so long as he could control
himself. But it was the uncertainty of
this that mac impelled him 70 rise
from his chair to recall his secretary.
Then he had conquered his weakness
and resolved to see the thing through.

Tankerlane jumped from the rail
