it was your last"
you have a large allowance.
Far more than most young men
ever receive"
That may be so. But look at
all you have. And-and, I'm your
only living relative"
Henry Chandler eyed his nephew
thoughtfully. THAT is right" he
| assented after moment. But. l
don't see that 1t is any reason for
me to encourage you in prodigal
habits. If you cannot manage 4
little money, how will you ever
handle a great deal?"
III make out"
"I'M AFRAID YOU WILL
HAVE TO MIDDLE THROUGH"
Perhaps. But / am afraid you
will have to nude through this
affair as best you can. However,
IL you will make up your mind to
buck into a business career and
make good, as 1 have always de-
sired, I will give, you the two
thousand dollars, and stand back
of you with all my heart"
Pembroke turned away, lest the
rage in his eyes become plain to
his uncle. Business! Early rising.
Steady hours! Slavery! Damn
foolishness! Why, Henry Chandler
was liable to die any day. And he,
Pembroke Blair, was the sole heir.
Work was unthinkable. But -
there was the gambling debt. 1T
must not get to the old man.
Driven by that thought Pembroke
Blair nodded.
"An right" he said. "I'll do as
you wish, and go into the COM
pany."
Surprise, and then qualification,
swept across the kindly face OF
Henry Chandler. That's the best
thing I've heard in years." he said
sincerely. you won't regret it,.
Pembroke. You won't. I'll arrange
hits afternoon for you to start
work in the morning. And I'll also
transfer the two thousand to your
account
"Thank you," Pembroke NUT
tered. He turned to. the door,
seething inside.
Before you CO." his uncle re-
quested, "get me a fresh glass of
water, please. want to take some
of my heart medicine presently.
I'm feeling too good over the fact
that you've seen the light" He
smiled.
Pembroke Blair managed a smile
also, and took the glass his uncle
held out and started for the tap
in the bathroom. He was in there
when his uncle called: Better
bring fresh bottle of the medi-
cine too. / haven't full dose
left. You'll find some in the medi-
cine cabinet"
The bottle was there in the cabi-
net. Colorless. Inocent looking.
But skull was on the label. An
overdose might well cause death.
AS Pembroke reached for 1t his
furious gaze rested on the skull.
His eyes suddenly darkened with
cunning and growing purpose. With
hands that were not quite steady
he pulled the cork and poured
some of the colorless liquid into
the glass. Then, as he ran water
into the glass. he dribbled enough
into the bottle to fill 1t once more.
The glass apparently held clear
water, and the bottle was full and
dry when he gave them to his
uncle a few moments later. He
managed to hold himself steady
until he got to his room and guiped
| stiff drink.
