They had turned again and were
walking to the north. Clouds OBJ
scured the moon. The dusk was faint
ly luminous. Far up the distant road
a pair of crimson eyes glowed through
it, from an approaching vehicle.
With one accord they turned to
watch the lake. A summer storm
was gathering. Lightning played here
and there, in open flashes, on the dark
water. Deep mutters of thunder fol-
lowed it challengingly. The wind had
lulled. A silence held the air, flutter-
ing with light. Upon it, in the dis
lance, sounded the faint purr Of the
crimson-eyed vehicle. 1t resolved it.
self into the putting approach of an
automobile. For a moment the noon
strove to reassert itself. A silver
simmer came in the darkness. The
striking of the clock doomed through
it. They counted the strokes.
"Ten o'clock" said Derring. They
will be waiting for us"
Just a minute" pleaded the poet.
The hush of darkness gathered it
self. Through it sounded swift, whir-
ring puffs of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and nearer-with hurrying, changing
bell.
Derring glanced over his shoulder.
They were racing with the storm.
Then he saw. The thing was past con
t~rol-rushing upon them madly. 1t
had left the roadway. 1t whirred
swiftly. The face of the chauffeur
glared, fixed and white. With a swift
turn of his arm Derring seized the
poet. He thrust him-straight across
the path of the thing-out of danger.
He lay, face down, his arms still out
spread TO save his friend.
The rain fell in torrents when they
lifted him. It fell on his upturned
face and relaxed hands. The face,
beneath the rain, was strangely
sweet, as if a hand of love had
touched it.

paced up and down, watching the
path of light across the water.

light to the table he drew a big chair
beside 1t. He searched among the
books on the table and took up a vol.
ume Of poems.
The poems were Conway's. He had
seen most of them before--in manu-
script. But he wanted to read them
again. He had not decided what to
say to his visitor. The room was
very still. Something buried at the
screen, tapping it with light touches
a June bug, perhaps. Derring paid no
heed. He was absorbed in the page
before him. The light futtered a lit
tie and he looked up impatiently. He
turned 1t down, glancing towards the
open window. He took up the book
again. But the poems had lost their
hold. His eye was on the page, but
about him, around him, something
stirred. He raised his eyes slowly,
looking towards the window. Against
the screen, faint against the moon
light, he saw it-her face-smiling to
him, the yes shining mistily. He
half rose, stretching put his hands to
her. He sank back. The face was
gone. But her voice, softly, was
speaking to him through the distance:
You are coming-coming-coming-"
With a quick exclamation he turned.
The light at his side had gone out.
The room lay in darkness. He stared
before him. She was not there. No
one was there. 1t was the common
prosaic darkness of a June night.

CHAPTER xIX-continued

For the dilettante phiIanthropists

taking up the work in earnest seek
his advice. While he had not gone

mentality of over-enthusiasm.
The young men were waiting to
consult him as to the best way of
dealing with a pair of philanthropic
cranks who persisted in thrusting
themselves into the work and who. by
their o~btuseness, were undoing the
best results of the past year While
waiting for Derring and discussing
the situation, they had drifted into
talking of his fitness for the work and
of the strange delicacy that kept him
from it.
"He stands ready enough to help
any of us fellows that come to him.
But l suppose that's just it-these
pSOplS Jun I get III MS way duu we
do. Lucky for me, | did"
A laugh rippled the ~unuercurrent of
the speakers words. He was seated
IN an office-chair, his hat thrust back,
a shock Of reddish-brown hair rising
straight above the broad white fore
head. He looked as If he might be
the driver of an express cart or of
any vehicle that rumbled and ratified.
In reality, he was an artist of much
promise. His sketches had in them
depth of sentiment that gave even
greater promise than their technique.
Three years ago no one had believed
that he would yer be anything more
than a dabbler in art. He had had
plenty of money and was leading a
free, devil-may-care life, sowing to the
wind and complacently looking for
ward to the whirlwind. Now his sue

giving way to his, retreating, gliding
past, with noiseless being. Always
for a minute they jostled him. as If
unable to escape. Then, in a breath,
his presence filled the room-to the
furthest living corner. There was no
one there.
He found the droplight and reached
for a match. The breeze stirred again
the match to the droplight. He shaded
1t with his other hand, and the light
flared up into his tired face. His eyes
smiled absently. He was thinking of
the poet and his troubles.
Derring had more than half guessed
them. He had been revolving in his
mind all day what he should say to
him. The m was a strange crea-
ture. Derring had studied her face
the night before at the play. 1t was
heavy, with deep lines, but there was
something fine in the eyes. He re-
called them now-wistful and mag
netic.
He pushed back the papers on his
desk with a little sigh. Why should
they come to him with their troubles?
He was strangely tired. But with 1t
all, underneath, beat a sense of COM
ing release. Cropping for 1t, as he
seated himself at the desk, he took
up his pen and threw off the depres-
sion with an effort. He was only
tired. He would go away next week
for a rest. Meantime Reaching for
a sheet of paper he began to write.
He wrote rapidly, referring now and
then to the letters he had pushed
aside, sealing each note as 1t was
finished and laying 1t on the pile at
hand. When the last one was done,
he ran yer the scattered letters be-
fore him. filing nm for reference,
tearing others across and throwing
them into the w~aste-basket.
He looked at his watch-nine
o~'clock-half an hour yet. Rising he
stretched himself and looked about
the room. He moved to the window.

ly. A picture of the wood-road
flashed before him and Seth Olney's
bent figure, short and stolid. That
was what had happened to Seth. He
had shut his heart. He ceased to
live.
In a few words Derring sketched the
story of Seth's life. That's what ]
mean," he said. He let love go His
life shriveled."

This preacher, in the course Of a

had befallen him in the course of his
