slaught against Mr.. Cullen, and, after
that, to gather subscribers where he
chose. He said that billiard was
wasting time, and ought to begin to
collect signatures. billiard had men
toned, in a moment of indiscretion,
the assistance which Angela had UNI
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?
1t 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 forebodings on his countenance.
And yet, almost the first words Car
oil said to him were: Something's
troubling you. Mr. billiard"
He was momentarily demOralized,
and came near showing it-tried TO
pass it off with a laugh.

His laugh was remarkably hollow,
but he persisted in it.

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 do" he said
dispiritedly. "And it would be a
queer thing for me to do deliberately,

CHAPTER TX.

From the marbled dignity of the
Trust and Deposit company where he
had bought a New York draft for fif-
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 fist
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 Hilliard to
accept it), made up a glittering total,
stupendous total; and already Hill
liard's earned commissions formed
sum to gloat about. Despised as q
salesman, he had sold to four impair
tial business men the commodity hard
est in all the world to sell. Scorned
for his behavior, he had made ms
sales on the basis of character which
hadn't been questioned since the day
of his arrival. His mind and his
muscles demanded action; to relieve
the pressure of his spirits, he set OIL
vigorously, swinging eXultant.
On impulse, he crossed the street
for the purpose of patronizingea flor
lists, where, ignoring the conventional
measure of the even dozen, he ordered
a prodigal arnful of American Beau
ties for Carol Durant. This done, and
feeling very rich and Independent, ne
rounded the righthand corner, and got
himself greeted by two citizens OF
standing and Importance who, in nail
ing him, displayed a Difference not
ordinarily granted to the average resi-
dent of billiards. age. Would Hilllard
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 fired him afresh.
Logically enough, his swirling
thoughts followed a well-wOrn trail
which led him straight to Carol; ana
for the thousandth time he tried to
set 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, Waringw said billiard
cheerfully. FLOWS crime?"
The student of law flushed at the
lively salutatiOn, which appealed to
him as reflection upon the majesty
of the bar. Also, his sense Of humor
was temporarily atrophied.

Waring coughed. Business"

all the time-isn't it?'

into the shelter of a doorway, drawing
billiard with him.
