splendidly feigned amusement, "Dut
unfortunately the courts demand proof
before conyicting a man, and there Is
no proof whatever off,
"Are you surep queried Bennett.
Turning to Phelan, he added:
"Please ask Mr.. Thompson to come
In"
The alderman, with an expansive
grin, flung open the door Of the farther
room.
AT sound Of his secretary's name
Wainwright had sprung to his feet and,
dumfounded, was leaning heavily on
the table, staring across the threshold
of the suddenly opened door.
There, framed in the dark doorway,
his face deathly pale, his eyes glowing
with a strange light as Of murder,
stood Cynthia's brother.
His presence in the city hall was no
mere chance, but the climax OF series
Of conferences between Bennett, Pie
Ian and himself, dating from the night
Of the administration ball, when, de-
spite his own resolve, the secretary's
hand had been forced by the inquisi-
tive alderman and his identity re-
vealed
Bennett had been let into the secret
next day, and the trio had had a three
hour talk from which Phelan nad
emerged with the gleeful air Of one
who had Unexpectedly found $1,000
bill Thompson, too, had left that con-
ference with a look Of calm, intense
satisfaction that TRANSPORTED him.
Other conversations had followed,
one of them In the presence Of notary,
stenographer and lawyers. The trap
at last was ready to be sprung.
The f1nancier for the first time in his
nine year close association with the
secretary met the younger mans gaze
without seeing the latter droop In def
erential submission Now he received
back look for look from his former alb
teet slave. and 1t was his own glance
that wayered before that concentrated
glare Of hate.
''Thompson?' he cried, and his voice
bore world Of incredulous reproacs.
Before him stood the one man on
earth in whom Wainwright had ever
placed implicit trust; to whom he had
confded his grayest business secrets;
the man whom he had so shrewdly
tested in countless ways and who had
proved stanchly incorruptible and 10y

CHAPTER XXXV.
The Man and the Woman.

The Man and the Woman.
Across the bare, dimly-lighted stage
their eyes suddenly met, and, with a
little start and a changing face, the
woman paused abruptly in the middle
of the Zines" she was declaiming be-
fore the row of unlit footlights
She had not known that Stephen
Ruthen was in the theatre, and the
sight of the man standing there by
the side of Anthony Strangways, half
hidden in the shadow of a stack of
scenery at the farther edge of the
stage, with the rush of recollections
it brought, seemed for a moment to
discomfort her. The pause was al
most imperceptible; then Olive Van
stone pulled herself together and went
on with her lines in the scene that
was being rehearsed.
"No, l had not told Miss Vanstone
that l was bringing you to the theatre
this morning" said Anthony Strang-
ways. He had seen the startled look
that had come into the woman's face
at the sight of his companion. Il
thought it better not to tell her, since
she seems to wish to avoid the meet
ing that you say is imperative-you
know what women are. AS soon as
this act is over I'll arrange for you to
see her in the managers room. She
has nothing to do in the next act.
Stephen did not answer. He stood
staring across the stage at the woman
who had once promised to be his wife.
There were at least a dozen other
people standing about in corners OF
the stage, men and women, who would
break off in the middle of an animal
ed conversation to come forward at
their cues to run over the lines, with
an emphasis the staginess of which
was the more pronounced by reason
of their everyday attire and the alb
sence of the lights and scenery that
created illusion, and would return
when their lines were spoken to re
sumo their conversation or to con
tinue an interrupted meal of sand
witches in paper bags; but Stephen was
hardly conscious Of their existence
He had only eyes for this woman who
had twice crossed his life for brief
space, leaving him with only legacy

Burdened with wealth, they return
