why tho two senior partners of

bankrupt, and Jamee Cant pros

MARK AT HIS WORST
POOLE beamed at Mark.
"Won't jroa come to the flrer
Mark took no notice of blm but
waited until Arroltaga repeated the
Invitation; then he came forward
and leaned against a chair back.
Poole did not trouble to mpproei a
chuckle. Showing the hired man
hie place In front of bis employer,
h? Neat atunt, that. Armltage,
obllrloua of the by-play, waa hand
ling a couple of lettera,
"It you have a few mlnutea to
pare, Lodely"
"My dear Armltage, we're agreed,
nrely, that my time la youra?"
"I wrote to Mlaa Quentln, as you
suggested, about the studio, but
he Is unable to come. I wrote
again, a day or two ago, but she Is
till unwilling to undertake tbe
commission."
Poole stared at the Are. Arm
Itage'a voice had given him away.
It was a woman.
Lodoly waa murmuring, through
his smile
"It really doesn't matter. Pre
looked at Malaria's handiwork and
It will do beautifully tor everything
icept work. And, for work, I
can carry on where I am."
"In Armltage's room?" enquired
Poole, atlll beaming.
"In Armltage'a room," assented
Lodely, still showing, eror so
lightly, his teotb.
"Then, Pre also boon In com
munication with Sir Robort Pull
hay," went on Armltage. "He was
a friend of my father's."
"Yesf Another millionaire, I
presume?"
"No. Sir Robert Isn't a million
aire and I don't expect be ever
will be; hla Interests don't lie In
money-making. He Is, or was,
very famous bone-setter."
"Oh, a quack I" said Mark In
differently. "Sir Robert Pbllhay la recog
nised by the medical profession,"
Armltage said patiently. "I don't
think he's called a quack nowa
days. At any rate, he has brought
off some marvelous cures. I wanted
him to come and see you."
A flash passed over Mark's face.
It was gone In an Instant, but It
softened Poole ' Into sympathy
again. Poor devil, he had known
hope gnd longing, under that bit
terness I
"He Is rather ocoontrlo. Ho"
Armltage hesitated. "He says he
hasn't coma up to Town for many
years and be'd rather we went to
see hint. He montlons next Tues
day. He offers to put us up."
Poole made a quick. Involuntary
movement. He knew exactly what
eras going to happon.
"As It happens, next Tuesday Is
Impossible. That's the ntght'ot my
party," eroded Mark.
"But, good Oodl your party?
You can have a party any nlghtl"
don't think so. I'm booked for
very other evening and I've made
good deal of splash about my
Tuesday night studio parties. This,
u the Drat of them, Is the most
Important."
"More Important than the chance
of being made a sound man In
tead of"
Armltage caught back the word.
Poole, his eyes on his shoes, tried
to focus Armltage's mind with his
own. Dammit all, telepathy was
possible, why shouldn't It work be
tween them now? Armltage
Armltage stick to your wheel
don't let the little whelp spoil your
Berve. . . .
"We'll leave It for the time be
ing, Lodely, shall we?"
Much better. Poole nodded
solemnly at hla shoes. That was
much more the way to handle htm.
Eound Idea, telepathyl
"My dear Armltage, don't put
jroursolf to sucb trouble In the mat
ter. Poor though I am, I have
been examined by several men of
genuine repute; and they are
agreed that w" case Is beyond
them."
"Wonderful how sweet-tompered
you always koopl" put in Poole.
"Example to the rest of us, abso
lutely!" "Besides I must ask mysolf, Arm
ltage, whether I can conscientious
ly accept this further charity at
your hands. You are Interested In
my welfare solely because of say
talent I may possess. Arent you?"
'Don't go too far," warned Arm
ltage.
His voice was so very much as
usual that Poole reined and took
leisure to study Lodely.
"Along what road?" he taunted.
Armltage straightened slowly
and slowly moved away from his
chair. He spoke over his shoulder.
Don't go too far. Amuse your
self with ridiculing me and my
friends. If you choose; but remem
ber that It wouldn't really ault yon
to be packed back to the prov
inces." Tbe artist's furious eyes followed
him.
"That threat comes too late to
be effective," be said. "If you throw
me out of here, there are a half
dozen bouses open to me. You've
let me get my feet too firmly In."
"I doubt that. Not many men
would give you the rope you de
mand." "I don't bother about the men.
My strong suit Is always the wo
men." i
"Tbe women!" Armltage's dis
gust thickened the words to a snarl.
He went to the door, dragging bis
pipe from his pocket. Poole re
joiced at the action the strain was
over. Lodely lot him got to tbe
door. Thon
"I could give you a lot more ad
vice about wonnn," be murmured.
Armltage mado no sign ot having
heard. Ho was feeling for bis tobacco-pouch.
It be stopped at tbe
door. It was perhaps only because
he wanted to fill his pipe.
You should not only never pur
sue them (I've already told you
that) but you should never let them
succeed II pursuing you. If they try
to, by all means encourage the
idea; but nevor lot them run you
to eartb."
"Whistle when you want them,"
concluded the mockery from the
big chair, "but by the time they
come panting up, be elsowliere."
Poole was surprised that Arml
tage should make response.
"There may be such women.
Evidently there are, hncause men
of your calibre generally talk that
kind of poison. But there are wo
men who In spite of tholr pity for
you and tholr kindness, are not
to be whistled to your side when
tbey have once docidod that tbey
will not come."
"I wonder!"
Armltngo opened the door. Poole.
watching both men, ' knew thst
Armltage would not yet be allowed
to go.
"By the way, Armltage, I should
be much obltgod I' you would write
to Barbara agalu. On socond
thought I can't occupy your bod
room for tho whole year of my
stay. If Barbara can Ox me up a
workroom somewhere, and honest?
ly, sho's the only porson who knows
what I need, I can get down to
hard work."
"I've wrltton to Miss Quontln
twice. Sho's quite firm In her ro
fusal. It woiild.be usoIobs for me
to"
"Perhaps It would. Porhaps It
would be useless for you." The
emphaBls was dolicate but un
mistakable. "I must do what I
ought to have done at once. Would
you mind sending the wire for me?"
"The wire? To Miss Quentln?"
"Of course. Just wire 'Come' end
sign It 'Mark'."
"You wish me to send Miss
Quontln a telegram saying no more
than 'Come. Mark'?"
"What more need I say? You
don't think It enough?"
There was no answer. Armltage,
pipe drawing very satisfactorily,
hands quite stoady again, walked
out of the room.
Poole left the Are for the win
dow and stared out at the In
evitable London pardon; ahrubs,
gravel, statuary green with damp.
"I shall have to trouble you for
a little brandy," came from the
cbalr.
Poole wandered back without
haste and regarded the guest close
ly. Not until he had obsorved the
bluenoss round the Hps and the
sharp lines drawn from nose to
chin, did he ring and order the
stimulant.
"For Ood's sake, hurry up!" Im
plored the artist foobly. "I I got
those fainting attacks "
Poole was quite unalarmed.
"You ought to take life more
quietly," he advlsod, "So long as
you go about trying to got yourself
murdorod, your heart Is bound to
do overtime."
He was gratified to catch a
glimpse of undisguised hatred be
fore the fair head tell back upon
the cushions and the long hands
slipped and hung loosely to the
floor.
