was a phantasm which his brain reel
ed to contemplate! The lump in his
throat came near to strangling him.
It seemed to billiard that hours
must have elapsed before he had the
strength to rise, and cross the room.
His brain was buffeted by wildly giddy
passions; he was only partly aware
that Carol, trying to rise from the
bench, was wide-eyed and intuitive ap-
prehension. Volition had gone from
him; he was acting without reserve,
without generalization.
'Tell me!' he said thickly. "Have
got a chance? One in hundred?
One in a thousand? But chance?"
ooh! Mr. ,Hilliard"1 Her
plea was to his chivalry, and had to be.
'"Tell me would have (.

breast: the other was Outstretched, de-
fensive.

She was trembling within reach OF
him, but it never occurred to him to
touch her, and if it had, he would
have refrained, out Of sheer conscious
ness of his lack of right. His face,
working tragically, awed her.
EYES," she said, hardly above
whisper. "There's . one chance
in a thousand. There's that
much, anyway"
His arms went out to her-stayed-
dropped. He stepped backward, out
of the danger zone.
''Then I'll take it," he said.
She had given him chance, on an
implied condition which he could never
meet. She had given him a chance
and what in the name of heaven could
he do with it?

that makes men-well, what you might
call judgmatical. You get so you want
to look at everything from all four
sides. And I thought maybe because
of the--the attending circumstances
you'd be kind enough to explain the
whole thing to me. Would you?"
Hilliard, who didn't know whether
to be touched or amused, compromised
by nodding gravely.
"There's one thing I'll have to tell
you, though" he said; II don't advise
any one to gamble in copper mines. or
anything else, Warning, unless that
person could actually afford to lose
his whole investment, and not be hurt.

slaught against Mr.. Cullen, and, after
that, to gather subscribers where ne
chose. He said that billiard was
wasting time, and ought to begin to
collect signatures. Hilliard had men
toned, in a moment of indiscretion,
the assistance which Angela had I'M
consciously given him, and Harmon
had appraised it highly; but it angered
him, when he saw this reference writ
ten down in Harmon's letter, to have
her name brought into the instructions,
even by implication. Still had he
not invited this upon himself?
It was in dizzying Quandary, then,
that billiard kept his next appoint
ment at the Durants'. The problem
had grown So many branches, sent
forth so many tentacles Of bewilder-
ing confusion, that he hardly knew
what to say, where to turn. His one
consolation was that the miracle
which had been performed upon him
had given him a mask of impenetrable
calm. At least, he didn't have to wear
his forebedings on his countenance.
And yet, almost the first words Car
oil said to him we're: "Somethings
troubling you. Mr.. Hilliard."
He was momentarily demoralized,

"What's the matter? Anything could
help straighten out for you? Or
couldn't I listen? That helps a lot,

and the color deepened in her cheeks.

said. "Or.... that father could! You

The bitterness in his voice was
acute; and by paradox, it was caused
mainly by her sweet concern for him,
and his realization Of how little he
deserved it.
"You always seem to be pushing the
world away from you," she said, af-
ter a pause. "Why do you, Mr.. Hill
liard?"
II didn't know that d." he said
dispiritedly. "And it would be a

CHAPTER TX.

From the marbled dignity of the
Trust and Deposit company, where he
had bought a New York draft for f1fI
teen thousand dollars, and smaller
ones for ten and seven, billiard
emerged presently to South Warren
street, and stood there on the sidewalk
for a moment, numbed by the first
galvanizing consciousness Of success.
He had come back resolved to win,
in his second trial, the position he had
failed to approximate in his first; he
had set himself a commercial stand
ard, and, gagged by it, he was advanc-
ing rapidly, for today's trio of sub
scriptions, added to Mr.. Cullen's check
of yesterday (and Mr.. Cullen had
acted as though he had gained per-
sonal victory in persuading billiard TO
accept it), made up glittering total,
a stupendous total; and already Hill
liard's earned commissions formed
sum to gloat about. Despised as
salesman, he had sold to four impair
tial business men the commodity hard-
est in all the world to sell. Scorned
for his behavior, be had made MS
sales on the basis of q character which
hadn't been questioned since the day
of his arrival. Els mind and his
muscles demanded action; to relieve
the pressure Of his spirits, he set OH
vigorously, swinging exultant.
On impulse, he crossed the street
for the purpose Of patronizing a flor

measure of the even dozen, he ordered
q prodigal armful of American Beau
ties for Carol Durant. This done, and
feeling very rich and independent, ne
rounded the righthand corner, ana got
himself greeted by two citizens OF
standing and Importance who, In hall
ing him, displayed a Difference not
ordinarily granted to the average resi-
dent of billiards. age. Would billiard
condescend to speak at the next meet
ing and dinner Of the Chamber OF
Commerce on France in wartime? Hill
lizard would. And this indication OF
his new-won status fred him afresh.
Logically enough, his swirling
thoughts followed a well-worn trail
which led him straight to Carol; and
for the thousandth time he Fied to
set a future date, depending on the
outcome Of his mission here, at which
he could confess, and ask forgiveness
for his mummery, and simultaneously
ask credit for his regeneration.
At this juncture, he was aware that
some one had arrested him. 1t was
Angela's youthful sutton.
"Oh-hello, Waring" said billiard
cheerfu]ly. SLOWS crime?'
The student of law flushed at the
lively salutation, which appealed to
him as a reflection upon the majesty
Of the bar. Also, his sense of humor
was temporarily atrophied.

he responded shortly. "Say, when can

The young mans mouth opened In

to pick yawning flaws in billiards. I'M

The boy scowled.

Hilliard smiled cordially.
1T is, and it isn't. From any one I

isn't q good plan, ordinarily, to have

you-and If it isn't more than you

Waring snatched at the straw.
"Well, seeing you're who you are,
and I'm who I am, would you be will
ing to give me just as much informa-
ton as you would If I had twenty
times as much to put in?"
"Come up to the room," said Hil-
lard impulsively; and he was actual
ed solely by the obligation he felt to-
ward all of Mr.. Cullen's friends.
"You come along up to the room, and

Will that do?"
At the last words the amateur de-
tective had frightened.

on north. A quaint intuition overcame
him, and he glanced back over his
shoulder. Fifty yards away the law
student was also glancing over his
shoulder, and Waring, having less OF
