CHAPTER xIx-continued

For the dilettante philanthropists
who posed amid the picturesque
squalor of the slums he had only the
keenest shaft of ridicule 1t was his
insight that made those who were
taking up the work in earnest seek
his advice. While he had not gone
into it in person, he was cognizant of
every step taken, and often, by his
shrewd counsel, balanced the senti-
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 obtuseness, 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

books on the table and took up 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

heed. He was absorbed in the page
before him. The light fluttered a lit
tie and he looked up impatiently. He
turned it 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

He found the droplight and reached
for a match. The breeze stirred again
and blew against the hand that held
the match to the droplight. He shaded
it 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 woman was a strange crea-

Derring had found Conway waiting
for him at the breakwater. They
paced up and down, watching the
path of light across the water.
The poet broke the silence You

Derring smiled a little. Tell me-"
The poet waited. He threw out his
hand with a quick gesture. "She is

"She makes me see things-not

"Or do them?" suggested Derring.
The poet gave a short laugh "She
