Then she picked up the crisp pieces

and numbers with . pencil.

They were both In evening dress.
and but for those business-like notes
on the table 1t might have been
supposed that they were about to
go out to dinner together.
Mrs. Haig looked singularly young
and graceful in her black velvet
dress. Her eyes sparkled. and there
was a faint color In her cheeks.
Those who did not know would have
said that she had not . care In the

TO play. He had kept his temper
admirably. and had completed his
bargain as quietly as though It were

now, when the woman was not
watching him. did he let the mask
fall from his face.
For nearly FIVE minutes there was
silence in the room. only broken BY
the rustling of the notes as Mrs.
Haig turned them over one by one.
Then Treverton looked at the clock
and yawned.
