being faster, suited Mortimer and Fer
RAIL- but did not aid Siward toward re
coupling his bridge losses.
Two matters occupied him. Since
cup day he had never had another op-
portunity to see Sylvia Lands alone
that was the first matter. He had
touched neither wine nor spirits nor
malt since the night Ferrall had found
him prone, sprawling in a stupor on his
disordered bed-that was the second
matter, and it occupied him. at times
required all his attention. particularly
when the physical desire for it set in
steadily, mercilessly. mounting mex
orably like a tide. But, Ike the tide,
1t ebbed at last. particularly when
sleepless night had exhausted him.
He had gone back to his shooting
again after cool review of the ethics
involved. 1t even amused him to
think that q girl who had cleverness
enough to marry many millions. with
Quarter thrown in, could have so
moved him to sentimentality. He had
coded the big cup of antique silver to
Quarter, too. a matter which troubled
him little, however, as In the irrita-
ton of the reaction he had been shoot
ing with the brilliancy Of a demon, and
the gunroom books were open to any
doubling guests inspection.
Time, therefore, was never heavy on
his hands save when the tide threat
ened-when at night he stirred and
awoke. conscious of its crawling adj
vance, aware of its steady mounting
menace; moments at table when the
aroma of wine made him catch his
breath; moments in the gunroom redo
lent of spicy spirits, a maddening vola-
tile fragrance clinging to the card
room too. Yes. the long days were
filled with such moments for him.
But afleld the desire faded, and even
during the day indoors he shrugged de-
sire aside. 1t was night that he dread
ed-the long hours, lying there tense,
stark eyed, sickened with desire.
AS for Sylvia. she and Grace Ferrall
had taken to motoring, driving away
into the interior or taking long flights
north and south along the coast Some
times they took Quarter; sometimes,

teriously ushered us into his private
office and closed and locked the door.

no unbidden ear was listening he
turned to US and said:
