CHAPTER vlI.-continued.

Il don't believe you intend to carry
out your threat. | should have known
from the first that your object was to
brighten me. The pistol display was
highly theatrical, but 1t was only a
bluff. You've no more idea of taking
your life than l have of taking mine.
I was foolish to come here. l might
have spared myself the humiliation of
this clandestine interview. Good
night"
She went toward the door. Under
wood made no attempt to follow her.
In a hard, strange voice. which he
scarcely recognized as his own, he
merely said:

at the door. Let it be thoroughly un
derstood that your presence at my
house is not desired. If you force
yourself upon me in any way, you
must take the consequences"
Underwood bowed, and was silent
She did not see the deathly pallor of
his face. Opening the door OF the
apartment which led to the hall. she
again turned.
Tell me, before l go-you didn't
mean what you said in your letter, did
your"
"Iu tell you nothing" replied Un-
derwood doggedly.
She tossed her head scornfully.
Il don't believe that a man who is
coward enough to write a letter like
this has the courage to carry out his
threat" Stufing the letter back into
her bag, she added: Il should have
thrown it in the waste-paper basket.
but on second thoughts. l think III
keep 1t. Goodnight"
Goodnight" echoed Underwood
mechanically.
He watched her go down the long
hallway and disappear in the elevator.
Then, shutting the door, he came
slowly back into the room and sat
down at his desk. For ten minutes he
sat there motionless, his head bent
forward, every limb relaxed. There
was deep silence, broken only by How
ards regular breathing and the loud
ticking OF the clock.
TITS all up" he muttered to himself.

CHAPTER VIII.
Helloi What's that ?"

"Helloi What's that?"
Startled out of his GarRantuan
slumber by the revolver's loud report.
Howard sat up with a jump and
rubbed his eyes. On the other side
Of the screen. concealed from his OBJ
servation. there was heavy crash of
a body falling with a chair-then all
was quiet
Scared, not knowing where he was.
Howard jumped to his feet For a
moment he stood still, trying to col
lect his senses. 1t was too dark TO
discern anything plainly, but he could
dimly make out outlines of aesthetic
furniture and bibelots. All. he re-
membered nowi He was In Under
woods apartment
Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recall
how he came there, and slowly his be
fuddled brain began to work He re-
membered that he needed $4,000. and
that he had called on Robert Under
wood to try and borrow the money.
Yes. he recalled that perfectly well.
Then he and Underwood got drinking
and talking. and he had fallen asleep.
