Coran returned, w ith a face of vin dictive indecision. U nder his veil of au sterity th ere had sm ouldered a dan gerous tem per, w hich was close upon bursting Into flame. But, a fte r all, he bad excuse enough. H eaven alone knew w hat baulked am bition, w hat treacherous Insults be had come to associate with th is young man. The sam e passions actu a te hum anity, w hether they view th e world from one end of th e telescope or the other. “ I have decided to w aive your a r re s t for the present,” he growled. "It would certain ly create a g reat scandal In B rendon,” said Appleton, firmly. “You count on th at, do you?” cried the elder man. “You think you have a hold upon me, th a t I am afraid of you.

"Go, before I stra n g le you." As I dropped off to sleep half an hour la te r I w as still w ondering why Peace had refused a bed, rem aining for the night In the garden. Could he expect m ore visits to th e sum m er house? W hy had young Appleton come sneaking up a t so late an hour If he w ere not guilty? The problem th a t had seem ed so sim ple w as chang ed Into a m aze of stran g e complica tions. I w as too sleepy to trace them further. I w as aw akened by a touch on my shoulder. It w as Coran who stood by my bedside. “W e b reakfast in half an hour,” he said uneasily. “I will be punctual.” “Forgive my Im portunity, Mr. Phil lips; but prom ise me th a t you will be careful before Miss Rebecca. She is so very acute. I never knew a woman w ith a keener In stin ct for scandal. And, as a father, I cannot forget the fu tu re of my poor girls.

It was to be th e com pletion, th e coping- stone to his cam paign, and was cal culated to ensure his election next day. I expressed re g re t th a t I should not be privileged to b ear It.
