there was always the refuge OF flight
but In Flanders. men learn not to de
sert their posts. and HIlliard had
learned that lesson among the first.
Loyalty to the cause of lighting had
grown automatic; flight WAS simply in
conceivable to him.
Yes. he could gather his resources
and place them. together with himself.
in the hands of his subscribers. and
their vengeance would be twofold /;
once foi their loss out of pocket, once
for the loss out Of faith. He had de
served no leniency. and lie expected
none. But as for those who. without
the financial ENHANCEMENT. had re-
spected him. and honored him. as for
Carol Durant and Angela -.
Well. as for Carol, he was at least
relieved of the terrific mental convul-
sion which would surely have fallen
upon him II he had had reason to be-
lieve that she loved him. AS 1t was.
her shock at his disaster would be
tempered by Armstrong; sane philoso-
ply; at most, she would lose in Hill
lard a friend of only few months-a
man she had wanted to retain as a
friend but-by her own admisslon-as
that. and no more. This was a conso-
lation trifiIng and fragile. to
be sure. but something saved out of
the wreck.
As to Observation-Disclosures, marvel
ing somewhat at his own tolerance,
wished him joy. Armstrong was fine
and clean and manly: he had well
merited his victory. AS to Mr.. Cullen
-Hilliard was torn with regret, but
after ALL Cullen's gullibility was what
had made the campaign so childishly
simple. AS to Angela who had
really loved him -.
"Oh. the poor little kidl" said Hill
lard softly. 'The poor little kid.
And perhaps he had never loved
Carol Durant so much as when. at ten
O'Clock that sunny morning, he went
up the steps of Angela's house to de-
stroy little girls regard for him be-
fore 1t could be destroyed by others.
On the doorstep. he found strength
in the memory of poor Pierre Dutout.

was giving up his life as Dutout had
given his -. with a smile for the
fate. and blessing for the future. Be-
cause he was afraid. unnervedly afraid,
that Angela, after all. was in love with
him-and when he put stop to that,
1t was the beginning of the end.

CHAPTER XII.

AS he crossed the threshold of the
long, overdecorated drawing-room. he
knew intuitively that he had blum
dered upon climax. This he sensed
from the attitude of the three who
turned toward him as he entered
sensed 1t before he saw what was in
their eyes. The atmosphere
was vibrant as though from sound
waves which had passed beyond. and
yet left traces of the swell behind
them. The room was silent: but OF
silence more confounding than deaf
ening turmoil.
Hilliard, standing on the threshold.
was himself the center of this atmos-
phere; he felt It partly because his
mood was so flexible and partly be-
cause the three who faced him had
simultaneously thrown their fixed at
tention on him, thrown 1t directly and
challengingly. including him in the
finale of the climax. while they stood
motionless as statues. He looked at
Waring. whose expression was defen-
sively acute; he looked at Angela,
flushed. palpitant. and excited; he
looked at Mr.. Cullen, tight-lipped and
frowning; and Hilliard caught his
breath, as swimmer who launches
himself to a high dive. and walked
composedly into the drawing-room.

board to handle all labor contro-
NerSes.
Each side was understood to BE- pre-
pared to lay definite program be-
fore the conference with respect to
the wage demands which the unions
last August laid before President
Wilson. The initial session was not
expected to include actual discussions
of the wage question as prelm-

considered by the joint board are the

the railroad executives and the sug
sestions made by President Wilson.
President's Suggestion.

will be to deal with the demand for
a wage increase by rail workers,
which has been before President Will

negotiations between labor repre-
sentativeS and Director General Hines

termination of federal control. The
board will have basis for this
discussion the suggestion of the Pres
ident that consideration should be
given the advances in the cost of
living and the relationship of rail
road labor pay to that in other lines
of industry.
Mr.. Hines saw the President yes

showing him what already has been
done, it was said Railroad officials
said that while they would enter

be predicated on the revenue they
can gain through increased rates.

formed and both labor and its en-
