He looked at Ruthven, scarcely see
ing him. Finally he gathered his thick
legs under to support him as he rose,
stupldly, IOORlng ABOUT Tor MS nat.
Ruthven rang for servant. When
he came, Neergard followed him with.
out a word, small eyes vacant, the
moisture visible on the ridge of his
nose. his red. blunt hands dangling as
he walked. Behind him lackey
laughed.
In due time Neergard, who still
spent his penny on morning paper,
read about the Orchil ball. There were
three columns and several pictures.
He read every item, every name, to
the last imbecile period.
Then he rose wearily and started
downtown TO see what his lawyers
could do toward relnstating him in a
club that had expelled him-to find out
n there remained the slightest trace Of
a chance in the matter. But even as
he went he knew there could be none.
There was a new pressure which he
was beginning to feel vaguely hostile
TO him In his business enterprises
bitches In the negotiations Of loans
delays, perhaps accidental, but annoy
Ing; changes Of policy in certain firms
who no longer cared TO consider acre
age as investment, aud curiously
,veiled antagonism TO him in a certain
railroad, the reorganization OF which
he had dared once to aspire to.
And one day, sitting alone in his Of
nee, clerk brought him n morning pa
per with one column marked In a big
blue penciled oval.
y II was only about Gerald Enroll and
Gladys Orchil, who had run away and
married because they happened 10 be
IN love, although their relatives had
prepared other plans for their sep
nrate disposal. THO column was n full
one, the heading In big type-a good
deal of pother about a boy and a girl,
after all, particularly as II appeared
that their respective families had de-
termined to make the best OF II.
=, il took Neergard all day to read that
column. Then be went home with
a mental lassitude that depressed him
and left him drowsy in his great arm
chair before the grate-too drowsy and
apathetic TO examine the letters and
documents laid out for him by his Sec
retary, although one Of them seemed
20 be important-something about
alienation Of affections, something
about a yacht and Mrs Ruthven, and
a heavy suit 10 be brought unless 9th
or settlement was suggested as balm
TO Mr.. Ruthven,
To dress for dinner was an effort
a purely mechanical operation which
was only partly successful, although
his man aided him. But he was too
tired TO continue the effort and at
last II was his man alone who disem-
barrassed him Of his heavy clothing
and who laid him among the bed
clothes, where he sank back, relaxed,
breathing loudly in the dreadful de-
pressed stupor of utter physical and
neurotic prOstration.

~ and financial affairs were
N in a villainous mess. Rid
OF Neergard, he had
meant to deal him a crashing blow at
the breakaway which would settle him
forever and incidentally bring TO cri-
sis his own status in regard TO his
wife.
Whether or not his wife was men
tally competent he did not know. He
did not know anything about her. But
be meant 10.
That she had been and probably now
was under Selwyn's protection he be-
iieved. What she and Selwyn intended
70 do he did not know, But he wanted
to know. He dared not ask Selwyn-
dared not because he was horribly
afraid OF Selwyn-dared not yet make
legal issue Of their relations, Of her
Sequestration or Of her probable con
tinued inf1rmity because Of his phys
tcal fear OF the man.
But there was, or he thought that
there had been, one way to begin the
matter, because the matter must soon
er OF later be begun, and that was to
pretend TO assume Neergard responsi-
ble and on the strength of his wife's
summer sojourn aboard the Niobrara
turn on Neergard and demand a reck-
Oning which be believed Selwyn
would never hear of.
Ruthven was too deadly afraid OF
selwyn TO begin suit at that stage OF
the proceedings. All he could do was
to start, through his attorneys, a
search for his wife and meanwhile try
10 formulate some sort Of definite plan
In regard TO Gladys Orchn.
This, In brief, was Ruthven's general
scheme Of campaign, and the entire
affair had taken some sort Of shape
and was slowly beginning to move
when Neergard's illness came as al
absolute check, just as the first pa
pers were about TO be served on him
There was nothing to do but wal
nntil Neergard got well, because hi
attorneys simply scoffed at any sug
gestion of settlement out of court, an,
Ruthven didn't want a suit involving
his wifes name while he and Beiwyi
twere IN the same hemisDhere.

laying his own plans to marry some
day in the future, and at first the news
staggered him, leaving him apparently
no immediate incentive for securing
his freedom.
But Ruthven instantly began to real
ize that what he had lost he might
not have lost had he been free TO
shoulder aside the young fellow who
had forestalled him. The chance had
passed-that' particular chance. But
he'd never again allow himself TO be
caught In q position where such
chance could pass him by because he
was not legally free to at least make
the effort to seize 1t.
Fear In his soul had kept him from
blazoning his wife's infirmity TO the
world as cause for an action against
her, but he remembered Neergards 5
impudent cruise with her on the Mo
brara, and he had temporarily settled
on that as a means to extort revenue
not Intending such an action should
learned that Neergard had gone to
pieces. That was the second check
Ruthven needed money. He needed
II because he meant to put the ocean
between himself and Selwyn before
commencing any suit, whatever ground
he might choose for entering such Il
suit. He required capital on which to
live abroad during the proceedings II
that could be legally arranged. And
meanwhile, preliminary to any plan of
campaign, he desired 10 know where
his wife was and what might be her
actual physical and mental condition,
