The Judicious ll.-ws permitted a full
day to Intervene before following up
th«- news with a call In Mscdougal

Now. If ever, be thought, the
girl might b» ready to llat«>n to rea
won; ho counted not a little upon
Eunice's womanly pique' and pride,
which might tempt her to show the
recalcitrant Wilfrid that two could
play the same guru», and that she was
not the one to wear the willow for an
other wonmna fiance
Women and
men likewise have been known to

ll was Roger's cue, as usual, to pre
lend to lie wholly Ignorant of the III
tie tragedy going on behind the
arenes
Eunice was totally unaware
of the fact that h<- was In th«- employ
of her old lover and she thought she
had sufficiently masked her o» n feel-
Ings
When Hews came In that evening
Eunice wns alone, and Intuitively felt
that a crisis was Impending
For
millennial ages women have been pit
ting subtle wit ag.,liiai brut«- strength
developing a sixth sens«- which de
tects Immediately and indubitably the
benign or the malign deslgna of the
opposite sex
Tonight, however, she detected a
t«-n»en< • » of latent purp«ise In Roger
llewa which doubtless he flattered
hln »elf was wholly hidden, and which
certainly his first words did not re
*<-al tor hie talk wns all about tbe
great t illr- id »trike then raging
As the evening wore on. and John
Trevscca failed to make hla usual
nine o'clock app«aiance, llvwe
luimd:
“Where la your father tonight?"
"I think he has g<>n«- upstairs." said
Eunice, who had been hoping thia
question would not tie asked
"In
ttawt." she went on hurriedly. "1 am
-quite worried atxiut him. he has taken
n heavy cold, and hla asthma Is al
ways worse at such times."
"I do not wish to alarm you.
Xews with a well simulated note of
sympathy tn hla voice; "but I have
noticed that he Is aging rapidly; he
is not the man he was a year ago"
"Oh. do you really think that?" ex-
claimed Eunice regretfully, and quick
to take alarm "He la perhaps not ns
vigorous ss he used to be. but I hope
b« will be s| are«! to me for many,
many years! lie la my only rotative
In the world. If I should lose him"—
nnd th« ready tears came Into her
••yes for the sole parent she had ever
known
"It la nothing serious, I guess," said
Itoger with offhand, soothing convic­
tion; “but your fathrr ought to be en
Joying a leisurely old age; at hla time
«if Ilf«- he should not have to work "
Eunice nodded her bead In quick
assent.
"So I have told him. .Mr Hews.
■»gain and again
Hut be persista In
■ eying that he must toll on at the
shops In order that tie may keep add

dead and gone."
"That la a noble object," said Hews
with real sincerity, "but you have It
In your power to render all that labor
unnecessary, and to make your father
coinfortabl«- for the rest of hla life.“
“I don't see—“ began Eunice, when,
with a wtive of color fl«»-ling face and
forehead, she suddenly did awe. How
■Illy and blind to give him such a
g.aid opening, ah«1 thought
Koger llewe was quick to seise hla
clian«>- In fact, he bad cleverly led
up to this very point
"At tbe rtak ot offending you. Miss
Bun Ice." he struck In, "I must recur
to the pro(>«issl I made you once
fore Marry me. and your father t
not worry about his future or j
own
They will bulb be my <
then."
"You promised
»nl<l the «fri re
proachfully. but he took tbe words out
uf her mouth In bls surcharge of feel­
ing
"I promised—I know It—never to
recur to the theme so near to my
heart wit hunt your permission 1 have
broken the promise because I ran
keep silence no longer Eunice. I love
you, dearly madly, devotedly, with all
the strength of a xiitn who has never
loved before
I cannot live without
you. and I will not. lie n>y wife,
Eunice, be my wife!"
Illa agitation was almost pitiable to
see.
The self-contained and calcu
■ sting natur« of the man seemed sud
denly thaw«d and melted as the
steel Ingot Is llqtiefied by the hot
breath of the retort In the Intensity
of his passion bls voice trembled, his
eyes blazi-d. hie pal«- face assumed a
brlcklsh red tinge; he left hla seal
and came to b«r side, putting one
hand on her shoulder, and striving to
take her unwilling fingers with the
other
Ail a quiver and unstrung he waited
for her answer
With beat head and
averted gate Runico almost turned
her back on him A wav« of repulsion
and disgust swept over b«-r, for the
vehement force ot which she was un
able to account
Not to save h«r fa­
ther from a hundred deaths could she

With an effort, evading hie grasp.
Eunice rose and stood facing him. tbe
chair between them.
"I am sorry." she said. In tones full

an now?"
The girl winced at the cruel slab,
at which evidence of tbe truth of bls
pitiful accusation Hews txcam" even
more frantic
Ills mask of qul«-t re
epeelability was ruthlessly cast aside
"He values you and your love about
as much as one of bla old shoes!" be
sputtered coarsely. "He threw you
over once before, and now he's done It
sgaln! He's nothing but a dirty Im
postor. anyway, and I'll show him up!"
Speech failed him. and be stood be
fore her panting, choking. Impotent
Eunice Treveres moved towards the
door, and from the vantage of Its
opening iooki-d him up and duwn In
contemptuous scorn.
"I thank you. Mr Hews." she said
with rutting emphasis; "I have had a
narrow escape. It eoms!' and with
these words she left the room.
CHAPTER IX.
Tbe preparations for the Stennis-
Passavant wedding went on apace
Theirs was to be only a »U weeks' en
gagement. for Is nt had Just come tn

which In a measure set the crown of
success upon the maneuvers of Mie
tress Clara
l*ld she love Wilfrid? In the light
of events It seems extremely d<mbt
ful; that she liked and admired him
we have seen; In her eyes marriage
was more a matter of creature com
fort than of love pure and undefijed—
but little better than a social com
pact. In fact; so much beauty, so
much refinement, ao much good birth
and position In ex< hang« for ao many

pr< sentable sort of a fellow, why. all
the better
In common with nearly
ev«-ry other woman. Clara Passavant
shone at her best during these g Is mor
ous weeks, and Wilfrid was happy—
or told blmsclf that be ought to be.
But In reality what be r«gaid«d as
happiness was only a dreamy sort of
nepenthe—he guessed he had done
the right thing th» thing that was
expected of him by Clara and all her
friends
The rest didn't matter. In
fact, he told himself, nothing mat
tered very much now that Eunice had
taken herself out of bls career.

Patient as a ferret, he blded his time;
he had scored one failure; In thia sec­

According to custom, he waited upon
Stennis Immediately after breakfast
to open the mall and receive bls In

The usual routine was gone through,
and Wilfrid was about to start for his
morning gallop with his fiancee In the
park when the secretary spoke:

"Anything Important?" quoth Wil­
