him half a crown, and closed the door.

his place at the table. He looked at

In his chair, with the newspaper by

smoking stolidly. Opposite to him. al
most as grim, equally silent, sat John.
"Things were quiet at Market Ket-

at last.
"There was nothing doing" was the
brief reply.
That, for the space Of Il quarter Of
an hour or so, was the sole attempt at
conversation between the two broth
ers. Then Jennings appeared with a
decanter Of wine and two glasses,
which he reverehtly filled. Stephen.
held his up to the light and looked at
it critically. Johns remained by his
side, unnoticed.

moved. Jennings drained his glass,
placed the d%ecanter by his masters

"And will be SO long as I live" John
confessed gloomily. For all that. I'll

Stephen made no protest. For a

enough, Us they sat together, some Of
the grim f~ierceness seemed to have
passed .s-om his expression and settled
upon John. More than once. NJ he
