He had net pressed that point; It might be taking un unfair advantage of nn already I ever-generqus hospitality, but he was! net at all anxious te speed his depar ture from well, from where he was nt I that precise moment. And new as he looked at Claire Venlza, his thoughts went back te the night ne haa stepped, at 01a tiawuins invitation, into the traveling pawn shop. That was net ae very long age two weeks et grave illness, and then It seemed te span a great and almost ' limitless stretch of time, and te mark I a new and entirely different era In his life; an era that, perplexed and troubled ' and intrigued him with conditions and I surrounding and disturbing element ' Iheufhi perhaps be would have (old ou.

Of his own love he was sure. He had loved her from the moment he had first teen her, and in his heart he knew he held fate kind te have given liiin the wound that In its turn had brought lhc week of con valescence just past! And yet and yet Here dismay came, and his brain seemed te stumble. Sometimes he dared te hope; Minictiines he was plunged into the depths of misery aud despair.

Why should she hae driven te it gambling hell late at night, and quite as though It were the nual thing, te transact business alone in thnt car with Ged ! His hands clenched fiercely. He re membered that night, and hew the same thought had come then, mocking him, jeering him. making sport of him. He was a cad. n pitiful, vile-minded cad! Thank Ged that he was nt least still man enough te be ashamed of his own .thoughts, een if they came in spite of him ! Perhaps It was the stiaDge. unusual character that surrounded her. that came and went in this curious place here, that festered such theughts: pcr hnps he was net strong enough et te grapple with all these confusing things. He smiled a little grimly. The robbery of the safe, for instance and that tep tile whom lie new knew te be his own attending physician. Dr. Crang!
