/ ing her temporarily happy he would
be making her eternally miserable. If
he could have the strength to hold
out against her and refuse to sanction
the marriage he knew the crew of
aristocrats would never accept her
without the cash. and that by the
terms of John Simpsons will could
never be theirs without his consent.
OF his own hopes he could see but
the faintest glimmering. He had ir-
retrievably offended the girl, and she
would hate him all her life for it, he
feared. His entrance into her new
phase of life had been unfortunate
His continuance in it was little else
than an insult, according to her way
of thinking. And Jim Cooley, whom
he had trusted to find the flaw in the
Hawcastle escutcheon that he knew
had existed, had failed him miserably.
The lawyer felt that he was a long
way from home. He sighed and turned
to where the sun was sinking in a
haze of red across the bay. Then he
heard the voice of Horace and Chin
ing with it the cultured accents of
Lord Hawcastle. Apparently they
were coming to seek him. She had
reiterated his refusal.
YEARLY he turned again to the au.
tomobile and leaned against 1t. AS he
did so he heard Horace say:
But Ethel says Mr. Pike positively
refuses"
In return he heard Hawcastle reply:
leave him to me- In ten minutes
he will be as meek as lamb"
Dumbly Pike wondered what fresh
argument the earl had to offer and
mentally steeled himself against it.
