John handed her into her waiting
automobile In silence. She glanced
into his face.

"Nothing!"

without a doubt" Louise continued,
''but he knows that you are not really
is entirely French-they do not speak
word of English. Au revoir! Sophy,
take care of him, and mind you behave
yourselves"
She waved her hand to them both
and threw herself back among the
cushions as the car glided off. John
walked to the corner Of the street in
gloomy silence. Then he remembered
his companion. He stopped short.
"SOphy," he begged, "dOn't hold me
to my promise. / don't want to take
you out to supper tonight. I am not il
the humor for it."
Don't be foolish!" she replied. eff
you stay alone, you will only imagine
things and be miserable. We needn't
have any supper, unless you like. Let
me come and sit in your rooms with
you"
'No" he decided, almost roughly. ST

something of my strength every day.
Louise doesn't help as she might. Don't
stay with me, please. I am beginning
to have moods, and when they come on

She drew a little closer to him.
LET me come, please" she begged,
with pathetic, almost childlike culver
at the corner Of her lips.
He looked down at her. A sudden
wave Of tenderness swept every other
thought from his mind. His mental
balance seemed suddenly restored. He
hailed passing taxi and handed Sophy
into it.
"What selfish pig I am" he ex-
claimed. anyhow, it's all over now.
Well go back to Luigf's to supper, by
all means. I am going to make you
tell me all about that young man from

face, stern and grave, showed little
sign Of approval or disapprOval, but to
Johns experimenting eyes the critical
sens was there, the verdict fore
doomed. He understood as in flash
that Stephen had come there to Judge
once more the woman whom his broth
er desired.
The curtain went up again and the
play moved on, with subtle yet ineyita-
bic dramatic power, toward the hated
and dreaded crisis.
The play came to an end presently,
amid Il storm of applause. The grim
figure in the front of the pit remained
motiOnleSs and silent. He was one of
the last TO leave, and John watched his
retreating figure with a sigh. SOphy
drew him away.

said. Louise Is always very quick get
ting ready"
They found her, as matter of fact,
in the act of leaving. She welcomed
them naturally enough, but John
fancied that her greeting showed some
signs Of embarrassment.

supper tonightT' she asked. ooh didn't

so hard to make you understand! Lou
Use is waiting for you. They are all
waiting at the supper party. You are
expected. You must go and tell her
that you think it was wonderful"
He rose slowly to his feet and caught
at her hands roughly.
"Supposing I won't go?" he whis-
pered hoarsely. "Supposing-I keep
you here instead, Sophy?"
She swayed for moment. Some
thing flashed into her face and passed
away. She was paler than ever.
Dear john" she begged, pull your
self together! Remember that Louise
Is waiting for you. It's Louise you
want-not me. Nothing that she has
done tonight should make her any the
less worthy of you and your love-"
He strobe away into the farther
room. He reappeared in a moment or
two, his hair smoothly brushed, his tie
newly arranged.
'Ill come, little girl" he promised.
II don't know what I'll say to her, but
I'll come. There can't be any harm i'll

"Of course not" she answered cheer
fully. you're the most terrible goose,
john" she added, as they walked down
the corridor. 'Do, please, lose your
tragical air. The whole world is at
Louise's feet tonight. You mustn't let
her know how ahSurdly Won have been
feeling. Tomorrow you will find that
every paper in London will be acclaim
ing her genius"
John squared his shoulders.
"All the same" he declared grimly,

play, and lock up Graillot for month,
tonight, I'd do it,"

CHAPTER XVII.

Louise glanced at her watch, sat up
in bed, and turned reproachfully
toward Aline.
"Aline, do you know 1t is only eleven
o'clock" she exclaimed.
II am very sorry, madame" the lat
ter fastened to explain, 'but there Is a
gentleman downstairs who wishes to
see you. He says he will wait until
you can receive him. I thought you
would like to know"
"A gentleman at this hour of the
morning?" Louise yawned. How ab-
surd! Anyhow, you ought to know
better than to wake me up before the
proper time"
II am very sorry, madame" Aline re-
piled. 81 hesitated for some time, but
thought you would like to know that
the gentleman was here. 1t is Mr..
Stephen Strangewey-Mr. Johns
brother"
Louise clasped her knees with her
fingers and sat thinking. She was wide
awake now.
He has been here some time al
ready, madame" Aline continued. II

thought perhaps it was better for you
to know that he was here"

He broke of in the middle Of his SEN

opened. and Sophy Gerard made a
somewhat impetuous entrance.

john" she exclaimed. "Oh, beg your
pardoni I hadn't the least idea you

She stood still In surprise, a little
apologetic smile upon her lips. John

"It's all right, Sophy," he declared.

CHAPTER XVI.

The days and weeks drifted into
months, and John remained in London.
His circle Of friends and his interests
had widened. 1t was only his rela-
lions with Louise which remained still
unchanged. Always charming to him,
giving him much Of her time, favoring
him, beyond doubt, more than any Of
her admirers, there was yet about her
something elusive, something which
seemed intended to keep him so far as
possible at arms length.
There was nothing tangible Of which
he could complain, and this probation
airy period was of his own suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever it was possible, by her side
with logged persistence. Then one eve
ming there was knock at his door,
and Stephen Strangewey walked in.
Stephen, although he seemed little
taller and gaunter than ever, though
he seemed to bring into the perhaps

took both his brothers hands in his

"It has been an effort to ne to
