HORACE turned on Pike. His
voice trembled with suppress
ed rage,

tie sold wltherlngly. 'Ton came here
to protect her from something you
thought was rotten. Now we ail know
it's rotten you hand her over!"
The lad paused, and then he laughed
bitterly.
"By Jove," he exclaimed of a sud
den, "I shouldn't be surprised if you
consent to the settlement too!"
The lawyer looked at him gravely.
"My. son, I shouldn't be surprised If
I did."
"By the Lord, but you play a queer
game, Mr. Pike."
"Oh, I'm just crossing the Rubicon,
lour father used to say: If you're
going to cross the Rubicon, cross It
Don't wade out to the middle and
stand there. You only get h 11 from
both banks!' "
"I beg your pardon," said a voice
behind them, and they turned to find
Lady Creech. She went on, addressing
Horace:
"Mr. Granger-Simpson, have you
seen my nephew?'
"No. I've rather avoided that, If
yoTr tlon't mind my saying so," Horace
replied. " v .
"I'm, sorry, Lady Creech," he went
on, "but I've bad a most awful shak
ing up, and I'm thinking of going back,
home with Mr. Pike. I. think he's
about right In his ideas. You know
we abused him, not only for himself,
but for his vulgar friend, yet bis vul
gar friend turned out to be a grand
duke, and look at what pur friends
Turned out to be',"
He stepped quickly to the entrance
jnd disappeared into the hotel. Al
jnerlfi's voice was beard as Lady
Creech lurried to go, and Pike smiled.
."Here lie comes now, bending under
the blow," he said,
"rAlmcric appeared with a white bull
pup, which he handed over to Mariano
with the remark:
. "Wash him a bit, old chap; tepid
water, you know, and a drop of milk
afterward nothing but milk, you
know. Be deuced careful. I say!"
As Mariano disappeared with the
. dog at arm's length Lady Creech said
solemnly:
"Almerlc. really there are more im
portant things, you know."
' "Rot!" replied the young man. "I
almost missed him. But I think I'm
to be congratulated, you know. Eh?"
"I think you are. my son." said Pike
quietly. "I have given my consent"
vuippln !" declared Almeric. Ana
Lady Creech started forward.
"And the settlement?" she asked.
Pike nodded.
"The settlement also everything!"
Ethel came from the side of the ter
race, followed by Horace, who seemed
to be arguing with her.
"Of course I never worried, you
know," said Almerlc. "But I fancy It
will be a weight oft the poor govern--ors
mind. . I'll wire him at Naples, for
he'll be glad to know about that bally
convict chap the arrangement . you
made with him, you know." '
"Almeric. I think it's noble to be
brave .in, trouble, but" Ethel began,
and Pike smiled behind his hand. Al
meric looked at her in astonishment
. "I say, you know, ..you've really' got
me!" ,
"I mean that I admire you for your
pluck, for your seeming unconcern
tinder disgrace, but"
"Disgraced! Why, who's disgraced?
Not even the governor, as I see it!
Yon got that chap called off, didn't
you?"
"Whom do you mean?" she asked,
Wonderment in her voice.
"Why, that convict chap. Didn't
; you send him away? You bought him
off so he wouldn't talk, didn't you
gave him money not to bother us?"
She whirled on blm like a storm.
"Why, heaven pity you! Do you
think that?" she cried.
Almerlc was taken aback.
"Oh what! He wouldn't ngree?
Oh, I say, that will be a pill for the
governor he'll be worried, you know!"
Ethel went close to him.
"Don't you see that you've got to
worry n little about yourself; that
you've pot to begin to do something
.worthy that will obliterate this
slinme? To work to work!"
"What possible need will there be
for thnt? Why, there's the settle
ment" "Settlement!" cried Ethel, aghast
"You talk of settlement now?" .
"Don't you sec? The only objection
was the settlement, and Mr. Pike's
given his consent to thnt"
"He's couscnted to thnt?" she asked.
"With bis own lips. Didn't you?" Al
merlc asked Pike.
"I did," said the lawyer quietly.
She recoiled from the group.
"Yesterday, when 1 wanted some
thing I thought of value, ho refused to
let me buy it. Today, when I kuow
that naiuo is loss than nothing, ho bids
me give my fortune for it What man
ner of man is this?" -
Almeric slnpped his leg.
"I don't see that the situation Is
changed. I don't stick out for the pre
cise amount the governor said. If it
ought to bo less because of last night
why, 1 we won't baggie over a few
thousands."
With a cry of rage and despair
Ethel turned on him.
"This is the final word of my humil
iation! I felt that you were in shame,
and because of thnt I was ready to
keep my word to stand by you aud

the opportunities for those applicants
with educational advantages uro con

making continually increasing de
mands upon those engaged in their

supervisory capacities nro in demand.

Together they went into the hotel,
and Pike watched them with somber
eyes. Horace quietly slipped off
through the arbor. Ethel tnrned to
Pike violently.
"What have you to say to me?" she
demanded. "What explanations have
you to make?"
"Xone," he answered.
. "Because yon don't care what I think
of you. You were willing to glye me
up to these people, to let me romanti
cize about honor and duty, about my
efforts to make that creature a man,
and you knew all the time it was only
the money they were after!"
"I shouldn't wonder," ho replied.
"Didn't you know that' would hor
rify me? Didn't you see that your
consenting, leaving me free to give it
to them, would release me?"
"I shouldn't be surprised."
"You mean you've been saving me
again from myself? You let me make
a fool of myself and then show It to
me, and after that you'll deny it! It's
like yon. Do you think any girl could
love a man like that? Go back to
your dream girl, your lady of the pic
ture!" . .. . :
"She won't be there," said Daniel
disconsolately. .
, '.'She might be," Ethel ranswered in
a different tone. .
: "There ain't any chance of that. The
bouxe will be empty still," he said..
"You might be -nvrong for once,"
she replied, and there were tears la
her voice "just for once!"
With a quick look at blm she ran
from the terrace and into the hotel. A
moment later, while he was staring
moodily nt the pavement, a piano be
gan to tinkle, and a moment 'later
Ethel's voice came to blm. His face
lit up, and ' he stepped closer, to the
window. Then his arms'wetit out.
She was playing "Sweet Genevieve!"
