you can decide just what you want to
do and on what basis we're to sepa-
rate. If it would do any good to ask
your forgiveness I'd ask it. That's
all. Good night, Mark"
She held out her hand with shy
wistfulness. He was staring straight
into her tortured eyes and did not see
the gesture The hand dropped back
Imply to her side, and she moved to
rejoin Blake.
But at the first step, Mark barred
her way. She looked at him in tired
wonder His face was set and hard.
He made no move to touch her His
voice, when he spoke, grated like a
file, as he forced it between his I'M
willing lips.
Grace" he began, 1--WE told you my
love is dead. And l lied when / said
it. l planned to put you out Of my

"do you mean that you can-that you

81 mean," he cried brokenly, his self
control smashing to atoms under the
hammer blows of his heart, 81 mean
there is nothing in all this world for
me, dear love, away from you! love
you. And I can't go on without you.
You are earth and heaven and hell to

and done with-before you married

and done with-before you married
Mark!"
"Father!"
The Woman faced him in dry-eyed
horror. Every trace of weeping was
scared away by the flame of sudden
indignation. And, at the sight. Jim
Blake gave a great wordless cry and
gathered her into his arms as though
she were baby.
ooh, my little grill" he choked.
Dads own, own little girl! We've
been tearing your poor heart to pieces
and your old father was the bitterest
against you. It's all right, l tell you,
girl. It's all right. Dad'll see you
through. You shan't be bothered.
There, there! Oh, don't cry like that,
darling. Don't!"
His voice grew husky. Leaving her
abruptly, he crossed to Robertson.
Mark" he faltered, avoiding his
son-in-law's eye, you promised to pro-
tect her. This is the time to do it. 1t
was for better, for worse If that
vow is any good at all, it's good
for worse as for better Mark-be
gentle with her, boy
Slowly, with bent shoulders and
dragging step Blake made his way to
| the big rooms farthest end. There, in
the windows embrasure, out OF ear
| shot, his back to the others, he halted
Drawing aside the curtains he
glanced out into the night. The gloom
of the sleeping city was below and
around him. But, in one black mass,
tiers upon tiers of garish lights
glowed. There, in the capitol, the
Mullins bill was coming to a vote.
There, Matthew Standish. freed by a
miracle from the tolls that craftier
men had woven about him, was win
ming the victory which was u clear
for him the pathway to the very sum-
NIT of political power.
But he found his subconscious self
straying from the picture he was so
ruthlessly drawing. His mind would
not fix itself on the lighted capitol and
the wreck of his life-work; but crept
over back into the dim room behind
him Even his tongue tricked him.
For when he would have made it re-
cite further the tale of his losses, 1t
muttered brokenly:
my own little grill Dads own,
own little grill"

ing over to the capitol. Shall I tell
Mullins to let the bill come to a
vote?"
"Yes," answered Blake, without stir
ring or so much as looking up.
YES" he said again, and his voice
was dead. "Yes-Pm-Tm licked"
AS Van Dyke opened the dor, Wan
da made as though to follow him.
IF you don't need me any further,
Mr.. Blake" she said gently, "Tll go"
Blake lifted a palsied hand in mega
ton.
In there" he muttered, pointing to-
ward the door that led to the inner
rooms. Il must speak to you-after-
ward"
When the old man raised his eyes,
Mark and Grace alone we're left in the
room with him. Robertson was stand
ing moYeless unseeing. Grace's sobs
broke the tense silence, as she fought
weakly for self-control Blake crossed
over to her. She rose at his approach.
Daughter" said Blake, almost tim
10y, they've all gone None of them
will tell But there's one thing we've
got to know I'm with you. no matter
what you've done. But-but-tell me

PRAISED, WORK OF CANNIBALS
Henry M. Stanley Found Them Faith
full Followers, Intelligent and
Trustworthy.

Henry M. Stanley was among the
first to negative the prevailing, idea
that cannibalism was the mark of a
special allotment of original sin
among aborigines. In fact he pre-
ferred cannibals because of their
greater intelligence and greater fidel-
ity. Now we have the opinion of Mr..
to-day, who has just returned from
the neighborhood of Lake Tehad in
equatorial Africa. He says that he
was virtually unarmed, and unescort-
ed except by one friend and twenty
Bimbalaland porters who were all can
nibals. He says they were "the most
devoted and reliable companions
could ever wish to have in a tight cor
ner." The practice of cannibalism
was originally confined to the bodies
of relatives and was intended as a
mark of respect Enemies were eaten
in order to absorb their valor. Prob
ably the most degraded form of can
uibalism Is to be found in Thibet.

step toward Van Dyke. The latter

you to foul your lips by denying it.
I'll attend to him later But give me
the right to do that by telling the
Woman's name at once"
"Grace!" croaked Blake, his throat
sanded with a horror that he would
not confess, don't you hear what
they're saying, girl?"
In his harsh eagerness, Mark forci-
lily lifted his wife's bent head and
forced her eyes to meet his.
What's the matter?" he demanded
sharply. why don't you speak? Tell
Van Dyke he lies. Tells him he lies, l
say! Obi"
His fierce appeal broke off in a cry
of pain. He had at last raised her
face and had read It, For the briefest
moment he stood stupehed, expression
less.

in pitiful bravado. You're crazy!

She caught his shaking hand and
murmured broken incoherent sylla-

sobs.

Blake's legs gave way and he
sprawled inert into a chair, his head
on his breast. He had all at once
grown old-very, very old. Meantime,
Robertson had forced his own dazed
brain back into semblance of it's
former strong control.

CHAPTER XXI.
Jim Blake, Loser.

And so for an instant they stood. It
was an odd tableau: Grace, helpless,
shaking, dumb; Wanda, her arms
clasped protectingly about the unheed-
ing Woman. who did not so much as
realize their presence nor feel the
warm sympathy of their embrace;
Mark, his triumph tinged with impa-
tfence at his wife's hesitation; Blake,
still gripping the telephone and glow
ering in angry surprise at the lawyer;
Van Dyke grim, alert, master of the
moment, his lean face set In lines of
unwonted sadness.
And it was Van Dyke who broke the
brief silence. His precise dry voice
was tinged by a note of something al
most solemn as he addressed Robert
son
Mark" he said, Miss Kelly has
told us that she promised the-the
Woman not to tell. When did she
make that promise?"
What does that matter now?" snap
ped Mark. We
She never heard of the affair until
early this evening. So it must be
since then that she talked with the
Woman about it. Miss Kelly has been
on duty downstairs ever since six
o'clock. She has not left this hotel
How could she have communicated
with the Woman?"
BY telephone. If"
4 think not" denied Van Dyke, the
cold sorrow in his voice now apparent
to every one. The Woman is here
in this house"
so much the better!" declared
Blake, again picking up the telephone.
Van Dyke, in gloomy wonder, turn
ed on his chief.
You have often boosted, JIM" said
he. that you owe your success to the
fact you see things just a second soon
er than other people. Don't you I'M
derstand-even YETI"
NO." growled Blake, Il don't. Out
with it, man! What are you trying to
get at? Don't beat about the bush.
You're wasting time that we haven't
got"
Van Dyke faced Robertson; his lean
face working.
Mark he said, tapping the dupli-
cate telephone list, ';your house in
New York is charged here with two
calls. We thought it was a mistake
-
A wordless gurgle from Jim Blake
interrupted him. The telephone was
set down by hand that shook as
though from palsy. For a single in
slant the heaVs tidded eyes were Who'll
ly, starkly unveiled in a glare of I'M
believing 1orror Then they turned
stupidly upon Grace who bowed her
head IN a spasm of hysterical uncheck-
ed weeping before the panic query in
their gaze.
Wanda Kelly wound her arms tight
er about the heavy body. But Grace
neither felt the contact nor heard the
whisper of eager futile comforting.
Blake stared open-mouthed, his face
greenish and fiabby, the stern jaw
loose, the keen eyes bullying. Mark
Robinson was still frowning perplexed-
" at Van Dyke.
Don't you understand" pleaded the
latter.

Suppose the second call were not
a mistake" hesitated Van Dyke.
