CHAPTER I

■fcy WYNDHAM MARTYN
It w«» characteristic of Peter Mil
man that he should bear the shock of
the second of his life's tragedies with
no visible symptom of emotion.
The first of these blows had been
dealt him twenty-five years before
He had suffered It In this same rich
ly furnished room of his house In
Lower Fifth avenue. Sneed, the but
ler, who had Just handed him the
morning papers, had brought him—a
quarter of a century ago—the letter
In which his wife told him she had
gone away and would not return.
The second blow swept away his
comfortable fortune. At fifty, with
out near relatives and long estranged
from old friends, Peter Mllman would
. be compelled to move from the house
In which he had been bom—the honse
where be hoped to die—to mix with
the world be bad forgotten, among
people he had grown to mistrust
The three morning papers Sneed
placed before him, although they
varied somewhat In their telling of
Hasen Brewer's failure, had substan
tially the same account of It
Brewer’s liabilities were fifteen mil
lion dollars. His assets were given
as less than five thousand dollars.
Somewhere, sandwiched among these
vast debts, was Peter Mllman's modest
million.
The butler, sensing 111 news from
the hastily read captions, grew re
lieved when he saw his employer take
out his pocket-scissors and begin to
d ip such extracts from the papers as
Interested him. Later these clippings
would be arranged systematically with
the thousands of others which during
long years Mllman had gathered. In
the library, steel-lined drawers, care
fully locked, held the harvest of these
gleanings.
At three o’clock Peter Mllman came
down the stairs and selected a cane.
He was dressed as though he were
going to pay an afternoon call. He
was one of those slight, small-boned
men so often seen In the dwindling
families of races near extinction. His
smartly cut coat, his Immaculate silk
hat and distinguished cane made him
seem, from a rear view, a boyish fig
ure. It was when one saw the pale,
lined face, the tired eyes, and the
thin supercilious mouth, that one real
ized this was a man to whom the
world has long since seemed empty
vanity. On the whole, Peter Mllman
presented the appearance of one to
whom familiarity would be distasteful
and friendship the slow growth of
years.
He was on his way to see his law
yer and find out how he stood finan
cially. He felt almost certain that he
had fallen with Hazen Brewer. Not
for more than twenty years had Peter
Mllman been so much disturbed. Ruin
meant giving np his home. The Idea
was Intolerable.
He entered the private office of Her
man Loddon as one assured of his
position and certain of his welcome.
Assuredly Loddon, who owed so much
to the Mllman8, would be able to sup
ply him with the information he de
sired.
The first direct Intimation of the
difference between a millionaire and
a poor man was given him as he en
tered Loddon's room. Loddon re
mained seated. Hitherto he had risen
clumsily to his feet at sight of his
distinguished client and with awkward
gestures motioned him to the seat of
honor. And his face had been wreathed
with smiles. For the first time Peter
Mllman saw the man Herman Loddon
as he really was. Loddon bated him,
and had always hated him. There could
be no other explanation of his lack of
courtesy and the sneering smile with
which be greeted his client For a
quarter-century he had worn a dis
arming smile. Hazen Brewer's failure
had swept away the necessity for us
ing it any more. Things, then, were
desperate.
Mllman’s manner was still as loftily
courteous as ever.
“I hope you have been able to find
out the extent of Mr. Brewer’s mis
fortunes," he said.
"Misfortunes!” Loddon cried. "His
Climes, you mean.”
“I am not asking yon to prejudge
my friend,” Peter Mllman said quietly.
“I want to know If the morning papers
are correct In stating that his entire
fortune has disappeared.”
“They are,” Loddon answered with
an appearance of satisfaction, “and as
you wouldn’t take my advice about
your Investments, your money has
gone too. I tell you, Mllman, you’ve
only got what I prophesied a million
times.”
Mllman! Never before had Herman
Loddon presumed so much. Loddon's
father had been the Mllman coach
man at their country place at Hast
ings years before. When he had been
killed In a runaway accident, Peter
Mllman, the elder, had taken charge
of the son's education and bad even
tually set him up In practice and
given him bis first case.
"Then nothing Is left 7” Mllman

was Hazen Brewer who had arranged
the mortgage on the Mllman home. It
was Brewer alone who had profited by
the affair. And this mortgage was
shortly to fall due, and there was no
money to pay IL
Peter Mllman could have sold the
bouse and lot and retired to some oth
er place In relative comfort until the
end of his life had he been less ob
stinately desirous of remaining wheie
he had been bora.
"You can’t stay there. If that’s what
you are trying to figure out,” Loddon
said brutally. “The taxes are heavy
und you have some outstanding debts.
My account, for Instance. Sell It and
live In Italy Is my advice.” He yawned
rudely.
Peter Mllman's question turned his
red face a deeper hue.
"Have you always hated me, Lod
don?”
The lawyer did not answer Imme
diately. This hate of his was a com
plex tiling, less the result of a deep
Injury than of a thousand envies. He
"Have You Always Hated Me, Lod
don 7"
had always resented Mllman’s dis
criminations when social functions
were still a part of his life. It Is true
that he had dined many times In the
Mllman house, but his wife had never
been asked there. He came to under
stand In the end that he was asked be
cause Peter Mllman found It a less
tedious business than going to Lod-
don’s office.
It was this fancied slight to his wife
which most angered the lawyer. She
was a social climber, and the magic of
the Mllman name was a tradition In
New York. Her husband, ashamed of
his obscure origin, had claimed to have
been at school with Peter Mllman, and
Mrs. Loddon felt that, were he to In
sist, she could be a guest In the en
vied home.
Loddon bated Mllman because, de
spite his unwise boasting, he knew he
had never convinced Mllman of his
Importance.
"Always,” he said slowly, with a
rash of relief at being at last able to
voice his emotions. “Yes, I hated you
when my father drove you to school
and I couldn't get either Inside with
you or on the box with him.
I’ve
bated you for your friends and the
tyay you've expected me to come when
you felt like calling.” Loddon laughed
sneering,y. "But that’s all done with.
Pm on top and only pity you now.”
“I think I prefer the former emo
tion,” Mllman murmured.
“In future,” Loddon said majestical
ly, “1 shall have too many big things
to attend to to have time for you. I’ll
turn your affairs over to my managing
clerk.”
“Thank you,” Mllman said, rising.
"I shall not come again. Send In your
bill at once. You have been loyal to
our Interests, and that is why we em
ployed you.” Peter Mllman passed
over the Loddon outburst of hate as
though It had not interested him.
Herman Loddon watched him depart
with the feeling that his triumph had
not been as assured as he could have
wished. He had won no look of fear

Some persons assert that John How

at a time when he was penniless and

however, leaves behind him the state

or apprehension from the man he
hated. Perhaps, after all, there was
something . about men like Mllman
different from him. Then the thought
of his two millions reassured him and
he lumbered to the window and
watched his former client cross the
road. The great limousine opposite
would presently take Herman Loddon
to his lavishly appointed apartment,
where he would dine largely. He pic
tured Mllman’s solitary and dismal
meal. There would not be many more
for him In the family home on Lower
Fifth avenue. The Patrician age was
gone.
Peter Mllman reached his home
without encountering anyone who
knew him. Fashionable New York
with her residences and clubs had
long passed on her northward way.
Those few houses which, like his own.
were still owned by their builders’
families, were mostly unoccupied save
for a few weeks In the year. With
these people Mllman had now nothing
in common. He had rejected their
overtures. They spoke of him with
pity, almost with contempt. A legend
of eccentricity grew up about him and
presently gave way to rumors of men
tai deterioration.
Sneed, who concerned himself great
ly with the sudden change In his em
ployer’s habits, saw him return with
obvious relief. Sneed had read the
papers and realized the extent ol
Hazen Brewer’s troubles. He wished
he dared ask Mr. Mllman If he, too
were badly hit. Peter Mllman’s face
told him nothing. Nor was his cus
tomary manner changed.
“I am going over the upper room»
after luncheon,” said Mllman. "Pleasi
see that they are In order.”
The upper rooms. It was In thesi
spacious chambers that the old fur
nlture was stored about which expert.-
raved. The six rooms were arrange»
as a museum. Mllman moved fron
piece to piece.

There was one room devoted to th.

Mllmans from a marriage with a Vai
Sluyter heiress. Peter Mllman ben-
down to look at a Dutch church stoo
which a Van Sluyter servant had car
