and sharp:
"Sit down.
And, as Ruthven glared at him out OF

I think" said Selwyn softly.
Rutbven turned. took two unsteady

Ruthven stared at him as though hyp-
notified.

trife wearlly. II am not compelling
you TO decency for the purpose OF pun
ishing you. Men never trouble them

exterminate them or they retreat and
avoid them. / merely mean that you
shall never again bring publicity and
shame upon your wife, even though
now, mercifully enough, she has not
the faintest idea that you are what a
complacent law calls her husband"
A slow blaze lighted up his eyes, and
he got up from his chair.

slowly. "Do you suppose that the

He turned on his heel, paced the lit
tie room once or twice, then swung
round again:

from women and boys over card tables.

He gave him one level and deadly
stare; then his pallid features relaxed.
He slowly walked past Ruthven, grave,
preoccupled, unlocked the door and
passed out.

There were two reasons why did not.
The first was because ! did not wish

second reason, subordinate to the first,
is obvious-decent men In these days
have tacitly agreed to suspend a yio-

concession to civilization. This second
reason, however, depends entirely upon
the first, as you see.

the heavy and increasing drain on his
resources permitted nothing better
now, and, what with settling Geralds
complications and providing two nurses
and private suit at Clifton for Alike
Ruthyen, he had been obliged to sell
a number Of securities. which reduced
his income TO a figure too absurd to

However, the government had at last
