WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

| Farrow love him, intending to throw hei
over i'll revenge for the suicide OF ms
brother Rodney, whom Julie had cast Off
He succeeds, but finds that he has fallen
desperately in love with her himself. Then
| he discovers that it was not this lulie Far
row.. but her cousin of the same name, who
had driven his brother to death. But Giles
is married, to an American girl named
Sadie Barrow, with whom he has not lived
| for a long time. Sadie unexpectedly turns
up in London, at a party at Giles mother S
house, but both keep silent about their mar
:age.
Julie, dsillusioned enters into the wild
night life Of London to try to drown her
anguish Lawrence Schofield wants to marry
her. Lombard, who had first introduced her
to Chittenham, demands money from Giles
! with the threat that if he is not paid he
will tell Schotieid that Chittenham and Julie
spent the night together on the St. Bernard
Pass. Later Julie confesses to Chittenhan
that she loves him.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
The two men made no attempt at a
greeting. Chittenham merely said !:
You're in rather hurry, aren't you ?
However, you've saved me the trouble
Of sending it to you. You can have
your two hundred"
Lombard smi1ed-an unpleasant
smile.
Il want five hundred"
"You agreed for two"
"The price has gone up since last
night"
There was an eloquent silence, and
Lombard said calmly:
Five hundred is not high price to
pay, surely-I cannot imagine that
Schoheld would crap at it in return
for the favour you received last night"
He shrugged his shoulders as he saw
the passionate rage in Chittenham'S
face.
1T was you outside Miss Farrow's
fiat last night?"
81 waited three hours-very pa
tiently, you will admit"
With an effort Chittenham con-
trolled himself.
Il give you just five seconds to get
out of here" he said.
very we'll. You know what I in
tend to do. I shall tell Schoheld what
happened in Switzerland and again last
night"
Tell him, and I'll break every bone
in your body"
Lombard went on evenly, not heed
ing the violent outburst.
"And I shall tell Miss Farrow that
the woman she has been making her
friend is your wife"
Chittenham was white to the lips,
but he laughed.
"You can spare yourself the Trouble.
/ have already told her myself"
For moment the two men gl1red
at one another, and it took all Chit
tenham's will-power to maintain his
self-control, then Lombard said
hoarsely:
I'LL make you sorry for this before
I've donel"
Get out, OF I'll make you sorry
for it now."
The door closed between them, -
For some moments after Lombard
had gone, Chittenham stood staring at
the closed door.
He would see Julie at once and tell
her the whole truth. But Fate was
against him. He went to jules fiat
only to find that she had gone out to
lunch. He went to several restaurants
where he thought she might be but
could not find her. There was nothing
for it but to wait till the afternoon
when they would meet at his mothers
house.
He purpose1y arrived rather late.
Mrs. Ardron, who was near the door,
crept to him and whispered that he
must be very quiet.
Its 50 wonderful" she breathed
she squeezed his hand excitedly.
Giles stood beside her, angry and
silent.
Now he was more accustomed to the
darkness ne could see that there were
about dozen people III the room sit
ting i'll ring, and apparently holding
hands. There was a queer aromatic
scent in the air, and a curious feeling
OF nervous tension.
He saw now that the light from the
shaded lamp was falling on the face
md figure of man whom he supposed
must be the great Chryer. A strange
looking man with pale ascetic face
and long dark hair, who lay back in
the chair, his eyes closed and his hands
clasped against his breast.
Presently he began to speak in a
Sing~song dreamy sort Of voice.
1.-TWO women and one man-one
man and two women they stand
before me IN the darkness not know
ing of the tragedy that divides and
will still divide their lives. - He
drew a quick breath and there fol-
lowed little silence, broken again
almost at once by the same sing-song
Two women and one marin
tire darkness ali Of them, and Two of |
them VIII come out into the light, out
the third will never see The sunshine
again. Observation-Disclosures! The
blindness Of the eyes .. here, close
