Almeric was taken aback.
"Oh-what! He wouldn't agree?

"Your father and motherhood

He sighed heavily, and she hung her
head. Hawcastle looked toward the
open door of the room and touched his
son upon the shoulder. When they had
reached the door the earl looked back
and shook his fist at Pike.
You haven't heard the last of this,

quickly. Lady Creech, who had been
in semi-swooning condition, came
suddenly out Of her trance and gazed
sharply about her.

Horace came suddenly to life and
closed his dropping jaw. He stepped
forward and faced the old lady.
"My sister will remain for time,
Lady Creech," he said. 81 will look
after her-in the future"
Lady Creech put up her lorgnette
and stared at him and with a naughty
sniff left the room with the air of a
conqueror. Pike gazed after her whim-
sically.
"There goes the last of the en-
presses" he said and looked down at
his feet.
Twice Ethel essayed to speak. and
twice she. put out her hand in his d.
rection, and both times she failed
Then, with choking little sob, she
picked up her dress and fairly ran
from the room. Horace followed her
quickly and still Pike stood there in
an attitude Of incomprehension.
The point he had striven for had
failed. He had shown this girl the
true rottenness of the people she had
tried so hard to ally herself with, and
the knowledge had failed to move her
His brilliant plan had recoiled upon
his own head and had resulted in more
firmly implanting a sense. Of duty In
her heart. he saw no way out now.
At first it had been a desire-now It
had become a duty, and he wondered
II he had the right to withhold from
her her patrimony.
1t was not until he saw a dark
figure with a bag In its hand walk
quickly down the steps and out through
the entrance garden, not until he had
heard the creak Of carriage springs
and the muttered directions and then
the crunch of the wheels, that he
awoke. He called a passing servant
