cause it was my home: and Won made
the decision apparently without any
consideration for me; without any
thought of the embarrassments and
difficulties in which it might involve
me-"
Truly, the heavens had fallen and
the solid earth was Keeling! GriswoId
lay back in the deep lounging chair
and fought manfully to retain some
little hold upon the anchorings. Could
this be his ideal; the woman whom
he had set so high above all others in
the scale of heroic faultlessness and
sublime devotion to principle? And
she was so much a slave of the con-
ventional as to be able to tell him
coldly that she had recognized him
again, and that her chief concern was
the embarrassment it was causing her !?
Before he could gather the words for
any adequate rejoinder, she was going
on pointedly:
You have done everything you
could to make the involvement com
plete. You have made friends of my
friends, and you came here as friend
of my father You have drawn Ed

it more and more impossible for me to
give information against you-and you
have succeeded. l can't do it now,
without facing scandal that would
never die in small place like this,
and without bringing trouble and ruin
upon family of our nearest friends.
And that is why sent for you today;
and why say you owe me some

Griswold was sitting up again, and
he had recovered some small measure
of self-possession.

"A long time; though tried not to

At the next corner where there was

perfumed note paper upon which. with

written the line:

CHAPTER xxvIII--continued.


After the introduction to Johnson
his hand had gone mechanically to his
coat pocket. The demon at his ear
was whispering kill! kill" and his
fingers sought and found the weapon.
While he was listening with the out.
ward ear to Bainbridge's cheerful rem.
dniscences, the little minutiae were ar.
ranging themselves; he saw where
Broffin would step, and was careful to
mark that none of the bystanders
would be in range. He would wait uu-
Gil there could be no possibility OF
missing; then he would fire-from the
pocket.
1t was Johnson who broke the spell
While cambridge was insisting that
Griswold should come in and make a
social third at the hotel dinner table,
the teller picked up his handbag and
mounted the steps. Griswold's brain
fell into halves With one of them he
was making excuses to the newspaper
man; with the other he saw Brofin
stop Johnson and draw him aside.
What the detective was saying was
only too plainly evident. johnson
wheeled short to face the sidewalk
group, and Griswold could feel in ev-
cry fiber of him the searching scrutiny
to which he was being subjected.
When he stole a glance at the pair
on the porch, Johnson was shaking
his head slowly; and he did it again
after second thoughtful stare. Girls
void, missing completely now what
cambridge was saying, overheard the
teller's low-toned rejoinder to the de-
tective's urgings: Its no use. Mr..
Broffln; I'd have to swear positively
to it, you know, and l couldn't do
that. No, l don't want to
hear your corroborative evidence: IL
might make me see a resemblance
where there is none. Wait until Mr..
Galbraith RECEIVERS; he's your man."
Griswold hardly knew how he made
shift to get away from cambridge
finally; but when it was done, and

park which filed the angle between

sweating profusely, and the departing
fear-mania was leaving him weak and
tremulous.
Passing the stone-basined fountain
In the middle of the park he stopped,
3erked the pistol from his pocket,
spilled the cartridges from it's maya
zine and stopped to grope for a loose
stone in the walk-border With the
fountain base for an anvil and the locs-
ened border stone for a hammer he
beat the weapon into shapeless inutili-
ty and flung 1t away.
God knows whom l shall be tempt
ed to kill, next" he groaned; and the
trembling fit was still unnerving him
when he went on to keep the appoint
ment made by Charlotte Farnham.

The swinging arc light suspended
above the street crossing sputtered
and died down to dull red dot OF In
candescence as Griswold returned
Margery's note to his pocket and
walked on.
There are crises in which the chief
contention looms so large as to leave
no room for the ordinary mental proc
esses. Griswold saw no significance
in the broken line Of Margerys mes
sage. The one tremendous revelation
the knowledge that the dross-creat-
ing curse had finally fallen upon the
woman whose convictions should have
saved her-was blotting out all the
subtler perceptive faculties; and for
the time the struggle with the sub
merging wave OF disappointment and
disheartenment was bitter
He was two squares beyond the
crossing of the broken circuited arc
light, and WAS still following the curve
Of the lakeside boulevard, when he
came to the surface OF the submerg-
ing wave long enough to realize that
he had entered Jasper Grierson's por-
ton of the waterfront drive. The great
house, dark as to its westward gables
save for the lighted upper windows
marking the sick room and Its ante
chamber, doomed in massive solidity
among its sheltering oaks; and the
moon, which had now topped the hills
and the crimsoning smoke haze, was
bathing land and lakescape in food
OF silver light, whitening the pale yell
low sands of the beach and etching
fantastic leaf-traceries on the gravel
- the boulevard driveway.
There was no inclosing fence on the
Mereside border of the boulevard, and
under the nearest Of the lawn oaks
there were rustic park seats, Jasper
Grierson's single concession to the
public when he had fought for and
secured his property right-of-way
through to the lakes margin. Griswold
turned aside and sal down on one OF
the benches. The disappointment was
growing less keen. He was beginning
to understand that he had made no
allowance for the eternal feminine In
the idealized Fidelia-for the feminine
and the straitly human. But the dis
heartenment remained. Should he
stay and fight It out? Or should he
take pity upon the poor prisoner Of
the conventions and seek to postpone
the day OF reckoning by flight?
He had not fitted the answer to
either of these sharp-pointed queries

Dust and Ashes.

A full moon, blood-red from the
smoke of forest fires far to the east
ward, was rising over the Wahaska
hills when Griswold Unattached the gate
of the Farnham Enclosure and passed
quickly up the walk.
Since the summoning note had
stressed the urgencies, he was not sur

denied. "You have greatly misjudged
