He had deposited with Cullen all he
owned, except for his private belong

there was nothing else he could re-

He didn't believe that Harmon

trusted Harmons horse sense. If Hill

pivers in Ancient History.

The earliest mention Of diving is
made by Homer, about $50 B. G., in
the "Iliad," when PatrOclus compares
the fall of Hector's chariOteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dides tells of divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object of impeding or injuring
the Grecian feet at the siege of SYRIA
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save a stone to carry them quickly to
the bottom and to cling to for the
brief period, about two minutes, they
could stay below. This is called nat
ural diving and is still in use for col
lecting sponges and pearls at CeylOn
and in the Mediterranean.

CHAPTER XIII.

In the colorless days that followed,
billiard listlessly set about the order
ing of his final plans. Fortunately,
there were few Of them; his mind
would never have been equal to intri-
cate detail.
1t was a slight consolation to him to
realize that the city had a habit Of
judging men by personal rather than
by financial standards; for all its
pride and wealth, it would censure him
more for his wrecked personality than
for whatever money losses he had
caused. He was prepared to endure
that censure; and because he under
stood the provocation behind 1t, he
was all the more eager to aid in the
salvage. There would be more saved

the memory of Dicky Morgan rest in
| peace, and to let the brunt of anger
fall on Henry Hilliard, who was no.
! body from nowhere, with lying face,
a lying tongue, and no claque to mourn
| at his exit.
But then there was Angela's start
| ling allegation She had declared
that Everybody" in town knew all
about Hilliard and Carol every
body" would have a different opinion.
He had tried to explain himself to
Carol, and he had failed; and in the
light Of Angela's revelation, it was diff
ficult to decide whether Carol herself,
in protesting that she wanted to re-
tain him as a friend, had meant that
and nothing more, or that and great
deal more But no matter what she
had intended to convey, he dared not
go to her again, he dared not see her
and speak to her. for if he lied to her
but he couldn't lie to her now,
and every word Of truth would prove
a boomerang. He was trapped; and
although his heart was breaking for
the love he had almost won second
time he remained steadfast to the
ideals he had created If Carol were
to lose him as a sutton, she should new
er know that her first and foremost
sutton had gone to the devil.
He told himself fiercely there was
one definite and permanent way out
of it. Nobody would then have
cause to gossip about Dicky Morgan;
no one-after the first natural flood Of
excitement and denunciation-would
remember very much about Henry
Hiliard. It would save such deal of
needless trouble; it would save such a
wearisome amount of shame.
But against the pitiless background
Of the war, self-destructiOn as means
of avoiding personal difficulties, self
caused, seemed curiOusly repellent-
curiOusly cheap.
No it was part of his own
grievance that Carol and the others
must grieve, too; he had dual re-
sponsibility to society. He had no
right to leave these matters clouded by
any uncertainty Of motive. Syracuse
had, right to know the facts; and if
the facts brought pain to those he
loved, why, that was something he
should have thought about in June,
and not in November.
AS he chung comfortless to the last
slipping hours Of the reputation he
had so carefully builded he knew that
it wasn't the punishment of the law
that he dreaded, it was the ostraciSm
which would accompany it. 1t wasn't
his own shame which gripped him, it
was the consciousness of the shame
which would attach to his friends.
And SO, for a day or two, all his fac
ulties were strung upon the attitude
Of the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
Of adverse demeanor, and bracing him
self for the shock which was unavOid-
ably to come. For secrets will out,
and although he had no reason to eX-
pect Warning to break his pledge, he
knew that when rumOr smOlders
