Gormly had faced many difficult sit
uations In his life. Even his success
full business career had confronted
him with crises Of moment. But he
had never contemplated anything
which imposed 30 hard q task upon
his judgment and his feelings as the
approaching interview. What means
young Haldane would take to induce
his sister to come with him, how
much Of what had transpired he would
tell her. Gormly had no means of
knowing Of course; but he felt con-
f1dent that by hook or crook the young
woman would be produced. and that a
few minutes would find him face to
face with her.
He did not In the least know how
to begin or what to say, and the more
he thought Of 1t the more difficult
became the situation. It was we'll
that the time for reflection was short.
II is better for a man who has to do
great things to do them before the
mental and spiritual enemy has time
to instil doubts into the mind. And
It was with a feeling of relief in his
growing apprehension and misery,
therefore. that he heard the front
Goor open. He heard voices that he
knew In the hall. and In another mo-
lnent the library door was opened and
Miss Haldane entered the room alone

stood confronting her. She was svi
