"Well, he Isn't, not yet Don't yon try and teach me my business, miss." It seemed to him, In his sour an. ger, that he would do anything, take any chance that remained to hlu, to build up again the fortune that had been snatched from his eager grasp. "I'm ready, daddy." Be followed the child down the stairs and out of the bouse. Mrs. Cane began to cry as the door of the house closed upon them. She remembered her pride at having Mra.

Lodely endured Mrs. Quen tln ae the wife of her husband's senior partner, as an unsociable neighbor and as a bookish, reserved woman whom in years the would never learn to know. Mrs. Quentln endured Mra. Lodely simply aa a noise; a maddening noise that per. aisled somewhere beyond the circle of her dedicated thoughts. "Do change places with me," otged Mra. Lodely for the third time. "You ought to be relazln' comfortably after not sleepln" at all for two nights." "Thank you, but I would rather not move," refused Mrs. Quentln. also for the third time. "I can see Lionel's window from here and as soon aa the nurse draws up the blind It will mean he la awake and wanting me and 1 must run In. If you will excuse n.e." Mrs. Lodely muttered sympathet ically and lit another cigarette.

"Haven't you you don't mind my askin' haven't yon anything at all of your ownT" "Nothing. Less, even, than Lio nel thinks." "How d'you mean?" "I mean that 1 lied to him the other day," explained Mra. Quentln, her dark bead still njotlonless against the back of the seat. "Yon see, I once had a young cousin, a reckless, lovable boy. A few yeara before bis death he noeded a loan and be Insisted on giving me as part security some shares be held In a South African enterprise. Oh. I think I saw nurse beckonlngl No, It's only the shadow of the apple tree." "Was It a gold-mine?" Mra. Lode ly gave the short, high laugh with which she usually covered embar rassment and Interest. , Lodely endured each other. "I'm afraid not Mr. Cane la very kindly having enquiries made In Johannesburg, but he confessed that at first glance the shares ap peared to him practically worthless. Nevertheless, I have told Lionel that I managed to dispose of them for Ave hundred. It has eased his mind a great deal." "But how long does he think that will last you, with a child to keep? Or shall yon send Barbara back to your sister in France?" "No, he wUlies me to keep her with me, after he is gone. And the money, he thinks, will give me time to clear things up and look 'round a little. You must remember that hla mind la clouded, now, so near the end." Mra. Lodely, who never thought anything worth discussion, agreed absently, she smoked, starod al her hostess and presently buret again Into protest i "My trouble Is, I don't really understand what'a happened. 'Tlsn't as if either your husband ot mine had ever had a orooked thought in their lives, bless 'eml They did what they thought right It waa that beast Black let them down" "It seems they trusted htm toe blindly. They placed most of tht Armltage fortune, tor instance. In hla hands, against securities that were afterwards discovered to b forgeries. Naturally, they feel ao countable. They are accountable." Mrs. Lodely enorted. "Well, you may think eo and the law may say so but I don't care, I don't agree. Payln' back all that Armltage money out of our private pockets is lunacy, t say. It'll be years before that kid what was hla name? FarrellT before young Far. rell Armltage comei of age." Mrs. Quentln did not pursue the financial argument "The vicar misses Farrell terri bly, 1 believe." she said. "He had him in his charge for a whole year, wasn't !t? Oh hello!"
