him little the boy turned sullen, and
Selwyn let the matter drop very quick
ly.
But neither tact nor caution seemed
to serve now. Gerald, more and more
engrossed in occult social affairs of
which he made no mention to Selwyn,
was still amiable and friendly, even at
times cordial and lovable, but he was
no longer frank or even communica-
tive, and Selwyn, fearing to arouse
him again to sullenness or perhaps
even to suspicious defiance, forbore to
press him beyond the most tentative
advances toward the regaining of his
confidence.
Gerald and Neergard left the Office
together frequently now. They often
lunched uptown. Whether they were
in each others company evenings Sell
wyn did not know, for Gerald no
longer volunteered information as to
his whereabouts or doings. And all
this hurt Selwyn and alarmed him,
too, for he was slowly coming to the
conclusion that he did not like Neer-
gard, that he would never sign arti-
cles Of partnership with him and that
even his formal associateship with the
company was too close a relation for
his own peace of mind. But on Ger
AIDS account he stayed on. He did
not like to leave the boy alone for his
sisters sake as well as for his own.
Matters drifted that way through
early spring. He actually grew to dis
like both Neergard and the business OF
Neergard & Co., for no particular rea-
son perhaps, but in general, though he
did not yet care to ask himself to be
more precise In his unuttered criti-
cisms. But Neergard broke his word
to him.

Gerald's decreasing attention to busi-
ness and increasing intimacy with the
Fame -Ruthven coterie began to make
Selwyn very uncomfortable. The boys
close relations with Neergard worried
him most of all and, though Neergard
finally agreed to drop the Siowitha
matter as fixed policy in which Sell
twyn had been expected to participate
at some indefinite date, the arrange
ment seemed only to cement the mans
confidential companionship with Ger
aid.
This added to Selwyn's restlessness,
and one day in early spring he had a
long conference with Gerald-a most
unsatisfactory one. Gerald for the
first time remained reticent, and when
Selwyn, presuming on the cordial un-
derstanding between them, pressed
