The hour was late. An hour and more had passed since the young may or and his mother had returned from the administration ball. The house was silent, and even the usually busy streets outside were wrapped in the hush that never falls until after mid night and is dispersed by the gray of dawn.

I wish your friend”— She checked herself suddenly, with a little gasp. Benuett, glancing up to Cynthia Oarriton. her, saw that her eyes were riveted on a bit of pasteboard lying on the corner of tils desk directly beueath the read lug lamp. * It was Ilorrigan’s card. Slowly the mother's gaze shifted from the card to her son. From her face the color bad been crushed by some swift emotion that left It very old. pale and sunken.

"He said.” muttered Reunett, almost Incoherently, "he suld my father made his fortune—by—graft!" "And you thrashed him and threw him out of the house?” she cried, her old eyes ablaze. "No." "Alwyn!” "Hv-be proved what he said!" "It Is a lie! A wicked, abominable lie!” Would I "It Is the truth, mother have told you such a tiling—would Horrlgan have left this room alive—if It were not true?”* A silence—dreadful in Its intensity— fell over -the room. Alwyn dared not look at bls mother. At last she s[>oke: "I must know more. I refuse to be lieve one wont. Yoi! spoke of proofs. What are they?“ Without a won!. Bennett handed her the report left by Horrlgan. For a time silence brooded over tile study, broken only by the occasional turning of a page of the report, Then. after what seemed to Alwyn an eternity of waiting. the document slid to the floor, Bennett glanced nt his mother.
