CHAPTER '.
| Debt Incurred.


4 LITTLE stream of people
"A came suddenly out from the
= dark. forbidding-looking build
ing into the sunlit street. The tragedy
was over, and one by one they took
their several ways. and were swallowed
up in the restless life Of the great city.
Yet there was not one OF them. who
did not carry in his face some trace
of those hours of gloomy excitement,
some reminiscent shadow Of the trag-
edy which had spread itself out into
passionate life before their eyes. The
most callous was conscious of q few
minutes unusual gravity. Some of the
more impressionable carried with them
the memory Of that hot, crowded room,
the air of tense excitement, the slowly
spoken, solemn words, throughout that
day and many days to come.
And may the Lord have mercy
upon your soulP
There was one man who issued from
the building and made his way into the
street. who seemed altogether dazed.
His lips swere drawn tightly together,
his eyes were set in an unseeing stare

yards or so that he seemed even to
realize twhere he was. Then he came
to a sudden standstilI, and retraced his
steps. Standing outside the building
which he had just quilted was small
electric brougham, in front of which
he stopped. He glanced at his watch.
1t was a few minutes past O'Clock.
All around was the great stream of
city men and clerks, hurrying to their
midday meal. Once more, as he stood
with the handle in his hand, he looked
back down the dark passage, guarded
by a single policeman, through which
he had come a moment or two before.
The scene in the little court house
spread itself out with almost hideous
precision before his reluctant eyes. He
saw once more what is certainly the
greatest tragedy which the mechanical
side of our everyday life can offer to
the seeker after sensations. He saw
a man stand up and listen to the words
pronounced which are to deprive him
Of life-"And may the Lord have
mercy upon your soul
Deane turned to his chauffeur. The
CarltonP he said, and stepped inside.
The brougham' glided away, swung
in and out of the traffic. and ran
smoothly along the Enbankment, west

dows, took off his hat and placed il on
the seat opposite him Then he drew
