this life of wealth and gaiety the words
OF Brand now came home to him with
poignant sting. He was, indeed, on the
outside looking in. He saw his wife,
through his apostasy, mount higher to
the goal of her ambition while he sank
lower and lower. The metamorphosis
OF soul began to take ON physical ex-
preston. The candor of his express
sion changed to cunning and craftiness
and an inherent frankness Of manner
gave way to constraint. At the club
the change became noticeable. His
evenings there were not of the con-
vivial sort as before. He sought only
one form OF amusement-gamblin He
played heavily and lost oftener than
he won. His speculations in the street
also went awry. Within year from
the date Of his ill-gotten prosperity,
Reynolds had begun paying the price.
He paid heavily and alone.
His thoughts often turned to Dick
and the happy hours they had spent
in the little bungalow. And Jane had
seemed happy, too. for the reporters

endeared him to both. Reynolds for

coming-the thought of it made the
blood surge through his veins-he
cursed the day that he had ever made
the millionaire's acquaintance and the
day 1t had been renewed; and he
cursed Brand himself What had Brand
ever done or intended to do for him ?
He had used him as a pawn in the
game Of spoil! A cat's-paw to drag a

That was about the last word he
had had from Dick They had ridden
up to the city together, but they had
conversed but little and at the Battery
the reporter shook his friends hand
and hurried away.
Dick was a dreamer: yes. But on
the basic principles of life Dick was
right, and he had proved a good
prophet
The sting of conscience and remorse
began to take such hold on Bob that
he ceased to share his wife's pleasures
and he found himself aggrieved and
annoyed at her extraVagances. The
sight Of her costly gowns actually irri-
tated him, for he continued to lose
heavily and his entire fortune now was
less than the forty thousand dollars
with which Brand had rewarded his
duplicity. 1t was not his losses, how
ever, that unnerved him. It was the
thought that he now had nothing of his
own making and that for every luxury
his wife enjoyed. he and she were
bounden to Brand. Jane was oblivious
to 1t. but that only aggravated the i'll.
He avoided her. Night after night he
remained away, urging press Of bust
ness while he was engaged in nothing
more urgent than some game Of chance
which for him had lost even the ele-
ment OF sociability His sleeping hours
were as troubled as his wakeful ones
and pleading extreme nervousness to
Jane, he advised that they occupy sep
arate rooms.
He dreamed constantly OF Dick and
the bungalow and of his earlier days
with Jane. And once he dreamed of
something else. He awoke clutchlng
at the clothes, with beads of cold sweat
starting from his brow and the picture
OF a horrible nightmare still before
his eyes. He had dreamed that the
dam had collapsed and that hundreds
Of persons were dead. martyrs to his
crime. And while he dreamed these
dreams Brand slept peacefully. One
was a conscience-prodded transgressor
and the other a self-satisfied progress

At last Bob decided on an escape.

had, house and all. in a final coup. II

Jane went or not. He could give her
enough to be comfortable on II he were

Ichthyol.

The importation of ichthyol, a pc.
culiar asphaltic material found in Aus
tria, which finds application after ap.
propriate chemical treatment as very
important medicament, has been, along
with many other products, cut off by
the war. The raw material comes from
a fossiliferous deposit near Seefeld, in
the Austrian Tyrol. 1t is carefully Sc
lected and subjected to dry distillation
The distillate thus obtained is then
sulphonated and subsequently neutral
lied with ammonia. The use Of this
material has greatly increased in the
last few years, and it has proved very
beneficial. Almost Immediately follow
ing the beginning of the war its price
doubled, going to over so cents an
ounce. Already, however, firm in St.
Louis has a material ON the market,
which has been favorably recommend
ed as an efficient substitute, closely re-
sembling ichthyol itself.-United

such little gain as was his he had suf-
fered an Incompatible loss. He was
burned and scared forever. In the bit
terness OF these moments Reynolds
very soul was racked and torn and In
his heart, at times, there was murder.
He wondered what Dick knew of
his actual deal with Brand. He longed
sometimes to look up the reporter and
bare the whole story. But confession
to another would do no good now; 1t
would not repay the municipality he
had robbed and It would not renew the
bond OF friendship with the man he
had cast aside.

only way he could decently clothe his
wife and give her the place she was
entitled to. that was the way he would

the reporter laid hand over his mouth
and stopped him.
