 CHAPTER xLvI
 Pablito wrote Estelle, telling her biuntiy that he was engaged to Iottie Hines, who had long been associated with him and Beau in their work. He would not add . word beyond the truth which stood out harshiy on the page. After he had finished to letter he dropped Co head for q little time to feel the cool paper against his hot ohook. Then, quito steadily, ha sealed and addressed tho envelope, As he sent it or he felt that part of hls life was finished. "Life, m export. mont" ho remembered reading somewhere, ito which We are, by birth, committed"
 He found things little easier after he had mailed the letter. The door was shut and no longer swing. ing enticingiy to tempt him to turn traitor.
 He watched the progress of his now home with atolid disintereet. Ho and Moves often went for long motor trips into the country. He sold Bomo property at a profit and ought more, changed some bonds and lost a good sum thereby. Eat ing ,aleeplnR, walking, driving, he was always striving with feverish oagernesB to keep his waking hours filled 10 overhowing. This was the experiment to which ho was com. nitted this was the experiment called life.

 Deau's wifo disappeared soon after her husband. Shc went away with q pallid northorner who had bGsn employed ns a clerk in n cheap hotei. "J'm through with Beau" she said harshly, standing in the doorway with her travelling bad at her feet. "if you ever sec him again." she went on, Co Lot. tie, "tsli him 90 and that I wish he was in hell"

 Lottis went Into the big room where No es and Pablito woro iounging and pretending to read tho days newspapers. "Lou's gone" she announced. And, my God, she gimme a dirty !ook!"
 Then Hho repeated the conversn- ton, detailing what she had said and what Lou had said. Moves made no comment. Ho folded his newspaper carefully and laid it on . nearby table, avoiding looking either at Lottie or Pablito. Moves was embarrassed, .Lottie saw, Pnb. Ito was not embarrassed by her account of tho combat because he did not feel anything lately. "He don't even soem to know what nc cats half of the time" Lottie de- cided with wonder.
 She perched on the arm Of Pab. iito's ehair and asked with an as. stunned air of Jauntiness. That wasn't so lady-iike, was it?"
 There was no answer. Pnblito was reading and had not heard what she snid.
 ,"Damn it!" Lottie flung out, "f can be just as much lady as any. body else if want t0!" Discs of color were burning on her cheeks. Moves looked at hor then, apprais- ingly, but with pity in his glance and her anger died. leaving her wiited and trembling.
 She went to her own room and there wept bitterly. Even an -
