of church reform
The committee was appointed to
consider what changes are advisable
in order to secure in the relations of
church and state a public expression
of the national recognition of relIg-
ion"
The popular criticism that the
Church of England does not represent
the mind of the English people is
frankly admitted as a fact in the re-
port The latter reflects in other
ways the manner in which the leaven-
ing influences of democracy have been
at work during the war.

the proposal is made that every meas

CHAPTER x.
Disaster.

Having fulfilled his purpose OF max
ing himself acquainted with the indi-
viduals composing the opposition,
Lanyard shut the door in their faces,
thrust his hands in his pockets, and
sauntered downstairs, chuckling, his
nose in the air, on the best of terms
with himself.
True, the fat was in the fire and
well ablaze-he had to look to himself
now and go warily in the shadow OF
their enmity. But it was something
to have faced down those four if he
wasn't seriously impressed by any one
of them.
Popinot, perhaps, was the most
dangerous, a vindictive animal, and
the creatures he controlled murder
GUS lot-drug-ridden, drink-bedeviled,
vicious little rats of Belleville, who'd
knife a man for the price of an ab'
sinthe. But Popinot wouldn't move
without leave from De Morbihan, and
unless Lanyard's calculations were Sc
riously miscast, De Morbihan would
restrain both himself and his associ-
ates until thoroughly convinced Ian
yard was impregnable against every
form of suasion.
Murder was something a bit out Of
De Morbihan's line-something which.
at least, he could be counted on to
hold in reserve. And by the time he
was ready to employ it, Lanyard
would be we'll beyond his reach. Vert
heimer, too, would deprecate violence
until all else had failed; his half-caste
type was cowardly, and towards kill
only impulsively before they've had
time to weigh the consequences. There

Darently gifted with both intelligence
and character But if so, what the
deuce was he doing in such company?

The experience was no novelty In
his history He rose, less resentful
than regretful that his i'll luck obliged
him to quit just when play was grow
ing most interesting, and resignedly
sought the cloakroom.
And there he found De Morbihan-
all garmented for
the street, mounting a huge cigar and
wearing a look Of impatient discon-
tent.
"At last!" he cried in an aggrieved
tone as Lanyard appeared You do
take your time, my friend!"
Lanyard smothered with a smile
whatever emotion was his.
81 don't suppose you really meant
to wait for me" he parried, with
double meaning, both to humor De
Morbihan and hoodwink the attendant.

adequate restrictive legislation; and

sion--a legacy from Bourke together
with the rest of his professional equip
ment.
In the esteem Of Paris Count Remy

more light-hearted plunger than M.
Lanyard.
Naturally, with this reputation, he
was always free Of the handsome sa'

risking a maximum or two on his own

A fash of animation crossed the un-

Lanyard approaching, and he greeted
the adventurer with a gay little flirt of

mind! But this is delightful"
Then you really wanted to see me

protested, producing his bill-fold. Five

De Morbihan shrugged. "Out OF my

venomously, II will do my possible,

II have every confidence in your

Lanyard assured him cheerfully. "Au

And with this, not at all Ill pleased

Settling his score, and finding him
self considerably better off than he
had imagined, he resigned his place
gracefully and suffered the count to
link arms and drag him away up the
main staircase TO the second story,
where smaller rooms were set apart
for parties who preferred to gamble
privately.

knob, and stood aside, bowling politely.

"Monsieur's car is waiting"
Indeed" Lanyard surveyed briefly

Then he smiled appreciatively. "All

the porter
But before entrusting himself to this
gratuitous conveyance he put himself
to the trouble Of inspecting the chauf-
feur, who proved to be a capable-look-

livery which, though relieved by a vast
amount of silk braiding, was, like the
car in his charge, guiltless of any sort

The chauffeur touched his cap: "But

Then take me there the quickest

Nodding acknowledgment Of the por-
ters parting salute, Lanyard sank
gratefully back upon uncommonly lux
urious upholstery. The fatigue of the
last thirty-six hours was beginning to
tell on him though his youth was still
so vital, so instinct with strength and
vigor that he could, If need be, go as
long again without sleep.
None the less he was glad of this
opportunity to snatch few moments
rest by way Of preparation against the
occult elimination of this adventure.

shorter than he would have liked, the

Bending forward, Lanyard unlatched
the door and glancing through the
window, uttered a grunt of profound
disgust

He had hoped for something a trifle
more romantic from men with wit and
imagination enough to plot the earlier
phases Of this adventure.
The car was pulling up in front VI
an institution which he knew well, far
too well, indeed, for his own good.
None the less he consented to get
out.
Sure you've come to the right ad-
dress?" he asked the chauffeur.
Two fingers touching the vizor Of his
cap: "But certainly, monsieur!"
