Peter found the handle and as he pulled
open the door his name fell involuntarily
from her lips. He looked around at her,
looked with detachment that was the
most terrible of all.
1t was as though her type interested
him, but only with that scientific interest
that is too foreign even for repugnance.
So had she herself, often enough, looked
at a certain type of woman in the street.
Peter" she cried again. 'Wait"'
He waited; and she knew that she had
nothing to say to him, that she clutched
at his continued presence only because he
had dealt her spirit a death-blow and it
was afraid to die alone.

It was so futile that she began to laugh
at it. The shutting of the door cut into
her laughter.
Peter had gone. For the second time,
and within a space so short that hours
could span it, he had struck her down.
OF the first blow he had been so unaware
that there could be on her part no pos
sible resentment mingled with her hurt;
hut this second blow she could never for
give him. He had struck to kill and he
had killed, and the fact that he was being
fooled by some fate outside them both
did not matter at all. No fate, no creed,
could have moved her to strike at him.

that was more comfortable than it looked,
and himself took one on the opposite side
of the hearth; with precision he crossed
one leg over the other, displaying we'll
cut knee-breeches and dark, heavy stock
ings. The reporters gaze travelled up
him again and noted the keenness of the
eyes in the ruggedly moulded face and
the careless sweep of iron-gray hair.
