"Ah, Sabre. eve were just saying
what very deeply unfortunte thing
it is that none of us principals are
of an age to do the right thing by

''Yes, it's a pity" Sabre said.

Sabre spoke very slowly. Most
furious anger was about to burst
when there had suddenly come to its
control the thought, "These two
aren't getting at you for any love of
England, for any patriotic reason.
Theirs is another reason" He said
very slowly, 4 never told you, per-

"Oh, yes, of course. Wonder they

Sabre paused on the threshold. He
perfectly well understood the villain
Gus implication. Vile, intolerable !
But of what service to take it up?
In August, the anniversary month
of the war, he again offered himself
for enlistment and was again re-
Jected, but this time after longer
scrutiny: the standard was not at
its first height of perfection.
He was enormously cast down by
his rejection. When he got back
that night he went straight in to her.
Il say, they've rejected me. They
won't have me-" His face was work

She slightly puckered her brows.

Sabre spoke of to Mona when, a

letter to Mona, pouring out TO- her
all his feelings about this second re-
lection. He was writing to her =
and hearing from her-regularly and
frequently now. 1t was his only
vent in the oppression of these
frightful days. She said that it was
hers, too.
In her letters she always men,
toned Tony. She wrote to Tony
every day, she told him; and there
were few of her letters but men,
toned a parcel of some kind sent to
her husband. Tony never wrote.
She once or twice said, without
any comment, "But he is writing
often to Mrs. Stanley and Lady
Grace Heddon and Sophie Basildon
and | hear bits of him from them

course [ pretend to them that their

And a few lines farther on, "And

imagine how utterly splendid he is.

Sabre showed signs of becoming

bad word"
Not very long after this incident
occurred another incident. In its OBJ
vious aspect it was also related to
the "Why aren't you in khaki?"
question; Sabre apprehended in it a
different bearing.
One morning he stepped suddenly
from his own room into Mr.. For
tunes in quest of a reference. Twyn-
ing and Mr.. Fortune were seated to-
gether in deep conversation. They
were very often thus seated, Sabre
had noticed. At his entry their con-
versation abruptly ceased; and this
also was not new.
Sabre went across to the filing
cabinet without speaking.
Mr.. Fortune cleared his throat.
