moment. With 1t came fresh valor,
and not only the power to sin further,
but a mysterious weakening of the
moral tissues which made 1t possible
for him to sin coolly and remorse-
lessly. He turned on the light and
with cool composure faced his sister.
He met her gray eyes without a
CULVER They asked a question which
could not be evaded.
Il hate to tell you. Dorcas," there
was tone of reluctance in Went
worth's voice. but Merry is down
again. down in the gutter"
The girl jumped to her feet. "I
don't believe it," she cried. Besides.
II he were. what has that to do with
his play?"
Enoch did not answer. Instead he
asked question. "Dorcas. do you
care for-do you love-Andrew Mer-
ry?"
A flush blazed into the girls face.
In spite OF the telltale color her
brother believed her.
Yes, care for Andrew Merry
very much. do not love him."
Enoch gazed at her wistfully He
knew, as she did not, how easy 1t is
to cross the bridge from mere friend
ship to love.
why did you ask me that?"
II wanted to find out how much 1t
would hurt If l told you the truth.
Merry is not worth your love, he is
not even worth your friendship"
1T is not true!" There was indig.
nant protest in the woman's voice. 81

does not explain about his play, for
1t is his play"
You remember he left Juniper
Point suddenly7"
Yes" She raised her head with
an eager gesture. He went away to
write this play" She pointed to the
manuscript which lay on the table.
YES" said Enoch slowly. He be-
gan bravely enough. Then-he went
under. as he had done SO many times
in his life"
What was itf" cried the girl.
Drink or gambling?"
Enoch lay back In his chair. He
began to marvel at how easily he
could lie, because a lie had never come
readily to him before.
Drink and gambling-and every
thing" Her brother shrugged his
shoulders as II In disgust "Of course
he stopped writing. A man could not
write In his condition. He sent for
me. stayed by him night and day
and-wrote. You see-I wrote it."
He lifted a written sheet from the
loose pile of manuscript
"Perhaps-but 1t Is not your play
Dorcas shook her head with obstinate
incredulity.
Il told him so. l suggested we
make 1t collaborated play"
1T Is not even a collaborated play,
Enoch. Why. every situation. the plot,
even the very words. are his"
HE wants me to father it"
"He must have changed since he
said good-by to me- He was on fire
then with hope and ambition"
HE has changed" acceded Enoch
gravely. 1t was relief to make one

Enoch's voice was calm. Give It a
big production. advertise It as q play

up your fame as an emotional actor"
What, will you not play the coz

III OF course not. There Is only
ono actor in America who can play
John Esterbrook-'
Andrew rushed across the room in a
blind fury. He stretched out his hand
and dealt Wentworth singing blow
across the mouth. THAT actor won't
play It. Do you understand
Wentworth lifted his arm fiercely,
then 1t dropped nervelessly by his
side. The veins rose In his neck and
forehead like taut cords. He stood
staring at Merry. who strode about the
room in a demoniac fury.
Cod You're not mani You're
damned. low-down, scurrilous black

there, looking me In the faceLGodl" /"
Merry raised his hand again as II to
strike, then he dropped 1t by his side.
shuddered, and dashed across the
room. He picked up his hat and turned
to the door.
where are you going?" asked
Enoch sternly.
I'm going straight to-hell."
He lifted his gloves from the table.
Beside them lay the manuscript of his
play. He stretched out his hand and
turned his eyes on the other man.
watching him as a thief might, who
fears being caught In an act OF rob
berry.
Take It," cried Enoch., "I have a
copy of 1t. copy in my own hand

Merry stood lingering the pages.

your-swagT

longs to me. Money does not count
with me In this transaction. You may
take all the royalties. want nothing
but the authorship of the play"
Nothing but the authorship"
Merry's glance was malediction.
He dropped the pages and tossed his
hat upon his head. wentworth watched
him curiously. The outer shell of the
man had changed. His clothes. i'm
maculate an hour ago, looked dishev-
eled. A lock of fair hair strayed down
over his forehead, his linen had bat
tered appearance. the white hyacinths
dropped from his buttonhole like bios
SONS which had been touched by frost
He stood for moment with the door
knob In his hand staring at Went
worth. who returned his gaze with q
cold. ruthless scrutiny. Merry's eyes
fell before them. 1t was the first pal
pable concession to Enoch's stronger
will.
"Good-by." he said with an unsteady
laugh. He closed the door behind him.
Wentworth turned to the table. lifted
the manuscript and stood glancing
through the closely scrawled pages.
Then he crossed the room. dropped 1t
upon the red Goals, leaned his head
upon the mantel. and watched until

room In a -ague. needless. half-blsnded
fashion. A thought seemed to strike
him abruptly. He wheeled around sud

should you do this7 Have ever done
you one cruel. disloyal act In all my
life?"
Wentworth did not answer. He re-
turned the terror in Merry's eyes with
. cool, stubborn glance.
Did you have this hellish plunder
scheme in mind when you drew up
that bondf" he asked unsteadily,
what did you have In mind when
you made me your slave?"
Il don't know-exactly." Wentworth
turned such a straightforward gaze
upon Merry that he realized the man
was speaking the truth. "As l told
you that night. and am telling the
truth. It was nothing but fancy OF
mine. When you came to me with
this" Enoch's hand dropped on the
manuscript which lay upon the table.
you came with great temptation; It
was too much for me-"
Evidently" cried Merry. His tone
was withering in its scorn. He seated
himself and his eyes turned fercely
upon wentworth. The muscles OF his
cheek twitched rs regularly as pulse.
THE play is mine" Enoch seemed
to have grown strangely cool and Inn
pervious to contempt or anger. THE
play is mine," he repeated; "it IL the
due and forfeit OF my bond"

The girl spoke in an unsteady voice.
II don't believe. Enoch. that Andrew
Merry told you of long talk we had
at Juniper Point. You remember you
left me alone with him when you were
called to Boston. We sat on the rocks
one afternoon and he told me his plot

many's formal notification that all
United States consuls in Belgium must
be acceptable to the German military
authorities now occupying that coun-
try. South American nations were
notified several days ago that Germany
considered Belgium as annexed ter
ritory,' and that representatives ac-
credited to that country would be re-
quired to present their credentials to
German military authorities.
The United States now has consuls
at Brussels, Liege, Antwerp and
Client, and these American represent
atives are mostly engaged in relief
work Since the departure nf Belgian
officials, American consuls, following
the usual precedent, are dealing with
the de facto government at their re-
spective stations, but have not present
ed credentials for approval by Ger
man authorities.
The German communication de-
clares the action taken is one OF mil.
itary necessity only, and not intended
as a personal reflection upon any Of
the American representatives.
