Ills 1aded imagination.
Attainment OF the partnership had
indeed proved to be the climax of his
career with the Quinby company. Fol-
lowed quickly the long imminent col
lapse. There was no specific ailment,
save heavy stubborn cough and the
constant ache In his injured hip, which
were really symptoms. 1t was rather
general failure OF his powers. He
was no longer able to whip tagging
energies to the days tasks. The cool,

you'd asked me something harder.
Come along to the bank"
The bank was a few blocks away.
Mark improved the time by asking the
details OF Romans circumstances.
Piotr, gullenness not lifted by the
prospect Of money, answered shortly.
1t was pitiable story of descent-of
the gradual dissipation of the savings
Of Romans active years and the swift
failure. through idleness and too much
alcohol, of his mental powers, leaving
him and Hanka dependent upon Piotr' s
scanty and uncertain earnings.

A few minutes later they were in
the street again, Piotr the richer by
the sum he had asked.
They stood facing each other-the
strong man who had conquered and
the inefficient, one of LIES guerrillas,
who had just taken of the strong
mans largess. But the inefficient was
not grateful; a hundred dollars corld

Piotr chuckled-a chuckle OF tri-

was for u.s." The ehuckle grew into
q laugh, as though he pondered some
mammoth jest. "You-you-have just
paid for the next Issue of the 0utcryi"
He wheeled and went haltingly
away Mark watched him until he
turned a corner.
Poor devil!" Mark shook his head
pityingly. He's mad"
1t was not Marks habit to waste
precious hours wandering the crowded
city streets In retrospective medita-
ton. He now went to the appoint
ment with his lawyer to keep which
he had left Henley.
1t was a long and tedious consulta-

his customary shrewdness. He dis

She was standing between two bal
ustFade lamps. In their bright glow
he saw her cool impersonal regard
change, become questioning. And the
dark shadow again-as though she
had seen and known to the full the
cruelties whereof he spoke. Her lips
parted. But no words fell. With an
odd little gesture of repression she
turned and slowly mounted the stairs.
At the top she paused for an instant.

He dined alone at his club that
night The events of the day had left
him depressed and strangely restless
and with strong distasts for COM
