He Is a quack-dropped from the hospital staff for addiction to drugs and expelled from his club for cheat ing at cards"
 Hes down and out" said Hugh sullenly. and any cur can bite him He never cheated me. and 1 find him better company than your sanctimo niOus. psalm singing sort I'm not go ing to give him the cold shoulder be cause everybody else does. never went back on friend yet I'm not that sort"
 You never had a friend. Hugh" said Harry steadily. "Yon never real ly loved anybody or anything but yourself. You are utterly selfish You are deliberately lying every hour you live to those who love you. You are playing a part for your own ends! You were only Il good imitation of n good fellow at college You are a poor imitation of a man or honor now"
 Hugh rose to his feet as he answer ed hotly: And what are you. I'd like to know? Just because take my pleasure as 1 please. while yon choose to make stained glass cherub of yourself. Is no reason why I'm not just as good as you! l knew you well enough before yon set up for such q pattern You didn't go in much then for theological diet rshawr' he went on snappins his fingers toward the we'll stocked bo9kshelves -l wou- der how much of all that you real. ly believe. 1 imagine your friends don't call you 'Satan' now?"
 No" returned Harry quietly. ''they don't call me Satan now"

 Just then from the dusty street came the sound of carriage wheels and the click of the gate latch.
 Its Bishop Ludlow" he said, glanc- ing through the window. Hes con- ing in. think I'll slip out the side way. Thanks for the loan, and-I'l think over what you've said"
 Avoiding the bishop, Hugh stepped toward the gate. The money was in his pocket. Well. one of these days he would not have to grovel for pal try $50. He would be his own mas. ter and could afford to let Harry San- derson and everybody else think what they liked.
