hcer whose natural and affected gruff-
ness was aggravated by the unpleas-
ant nature of his tasks. He had only
one eye.
He made Bayard describe who and
what he was and what he wanted
Only Bayard's desperation gave him
strength to ask this old Cyclops for
an advance on new contracts.
Bayard went away in a stupor. He
had intelligence enough to feel that he
could less safely attack Wetherell
now than before. He would seem to
be implicated in the fellows malfeas-
ance. He would only advertise to his
creditors that his Wanted contracts
were worthless. Business men will en-
dure much to escape such publication
of their wrongs.
Bagard kept his head high till he
reached his own office. Then he fell
into his chair and propped his elbows
ON his desk and gripped his hot brows
in his hands as If he were holding his
skull together. 1t is the business mans
attitude of prayer.
1t was thus that Daphne found him

and closed it behind her as softly as
Ia Tosca. She was beaming with af-
lection and Importance, and when at
her mischievous "Ahem!" Bayard
looked up she was so pretty that he
forgot himself long enough to smile
and rush forward to embrace her.
She was wondering how to state her
errand when the telephone rang. 1t
startled Bayard strangely: He caught
1t to his lips as a topper lifts a glass.
He pressed the receiver to his ear and
evidently recognized the voice that
said Hello" from somewhere.
He answered in monosyllables of
the least Importance, but Daphne
heard gloom in them. ~
Bayard hung up the receiver, pushed
the telephone away as a bitter cup,
and laughed sheepishly.
"Great convenience, the telephone

Daphne could think Of nothing more
helpful to say than a casual. "How's
