Some day, perhaps, when you have
won your place in the world, we shall
talk it over again.
And so it was that 1 found myself
that foggy November evening pursu-
ing the Camberwell tram with my
heart glowing within me and with the
eager determination that not another
day should clapse before I should find
some deed which was worthy of my
lady. But who-who in all this wide
world could ever have imagined the in
credible shape which that deed was TO
take or the strange steps by which l
was led to the doing of it?
1 always liked McArdle, the Grabbed,
old, round backed, red headed news
editor, and 1 rather hoped that he
liked me. OF course, Beaumont was
the real boss, but he lived in the rare
fed atmosphere of some Olympian
height, from which he could distfn-
guish nothing smaller than an inter
national crisis or split in the cabi-
net. Sometimes we saw him passing
IN lonely majesty to his inner sanctum,
with his eyes staring vaguely and his
mind lowering over the Balkans or the
Persian gulf. He was above and be-
yond us But McArdIe was his first
lieutenant and it was he that we
knew. The Old man nodded as I en-
tered the room, and he pushed his
spectacles far up on his bald fore
head.

won't if you'll only sit down.
She looked at me with a wondering
distrust, which was much more to my
mind than her whole hearted conf
dence. How primitive and bestial it
looks when you put it down in black
and white. And perhaps. after all, it
is only a feeling peculiar TO myself.
Anyhow she sat down.
