A, ld Jarreman. "Can't you under

Bis voice rose te what was almost
a chant of triumph.
'There was one brute of n warden
who used te try te make me lese my
tamper and commit a breach of dis
cipline. Jehn Camden gave mp strength
te control myself, and the warden never
aeceeded. His taunts and insults
tlmply passed me by. I was lnsenltlve
te every emotion save the hatred of
Jehn Camden. That dominated my mind,
my imagination, my body even. That
five me life. And you tell me he is dead.
Strange that I never conceived such a
possibility I thought that the fates
would preserve him for me. Well" he
ihruggcd his shoulders "it matters lit
til. I have already taken up much of
your time. It wis foolish of me," he
added halt te himself, "net te remem
be." The werda bad but one meaning for
Theed, and that meaning thrilled him
with genuine horror.
"My friend, I cannot let you go un
til you have satisfied me en one point.
Yeu reminded yourself that Camden had
a daughter. She was a child of the
suae age as your own when it hap
pened; she is as innocent as your child
of any injury te yourself."
"I knew." said Jarreman. And It
I was as If be had added : "It will make
no difference.,'
Thced, who would have shrunk but
little from some understandable object,
felt, if for the first time In his life, a
Itnulnc moral Indignation.
, "Surely, Jarreman, even your suffcr
iags cannot have debased you te the
point that you would strlke an Innocent
woman for her father's sin. It Is un
thinkable, man. It gees beyond all vil
lainy or crookedness."
"I knew it. It is her tragedy that her
father is dead and mine. Fer new my
tout will have the stain of cruelty and
injustice"
"In that case wliy "
"I have told jeu that for twenty
years I have been sustained, dominated,
driven by something stronger than
myself," answered Jarreman. "Some
thing stronger than myself!" he re
peated. "Well?"
"I meant it," said Jarreman, and
strode from the solicitor's office.
Stranack Avows His Leve
Late afternoon! In a room In a
wing of Deuccster house, ene of the
stateliest of tbe many line houses that
face Itegcnt's Park, Nadia Quest was
typewriting with a speed' and dlligenea
that had made her an expert at her
work.
The room had been converted into
an office by Lord Deuccster in order
that his son, the Hen. Wilfred Stra
Uck, who was standing as parliamen
tary candidate for an adjacent borough,
Bight conveniently deal with the cleri
cal duties that overflowed from his
committee room. It (.eemed sometimes
te Nadla that the overflow would stand

committee room were te see a little

The girl's slender white fingers flew

Her mouth drooped at the idea and

see me,'
said Stranack In a voice that would

have told an observant eavaedrepper
a great deal.
"Yeu caught me Idling, " she said,
trying bard te apeak in the tone of
voice a typist ought te use te her em
ployer. She retreated toward her type
writer r.s she added: "I thought you
wcre'at a meeting.'.'
"It was a washout, I am thank
ful te say. Just think of It: I have
nearly two hours for myself befere I
recelve n deputation of something or
ether. Twe whole hours 1"
"Are you going te dictate some let
ters?" asked Nadla demuMly. ,
"Ne, I'm jiggered if I am. I've come
for n smoke and a chat. May I light
up?"
"Of course," she answered. He was
treating her with tee much diffidence,
she realized with a little bitter, slgb.
They were for the gossamer women,
these pleasant nothings, and should be
kept for them J net squandered en a
typist.
Absorbed in Her Secret
He rambled en, chatting lightly of
the tasks and social pitfalls that con
fronted 'n young candldate for parlia
mentary honors. Nadla scarcely heeded
him. Her thoughts were busy with her
own secret problem. Presently she
caught the gist of what he was say
ing. "Well, at any rate, there are only
ten days mere of it, thank goodness!
Jlnrples, my agent, says I'm certain
Je be in. Then I shall be a member.
There's a lob of ret round it, but I
suppesu one will have the chance of
doing a man's work. I shall wind up
here and have a room in St. Stephen's,
and then you'll go en being my secre
tary, won't you??
"Ne." It sounded mere abrupt and
mere uncompromising than she had in
tended. "Yeu won't!" he exclaimed, taken
utterly aback. "Why net? I say,
I'm sorry. Of course, I've no right
te ask, but somehow I had had
counted en your going en working for
me.'
"I am sorry," Nadla said very low,
but I can t."
There was a little silence. Nadla's
eyes were en the shining keys of her
machine. Stranack's were en the fairy
shadows thrown by the tendrils of her
hair en te the enchanting curve of her
averted face.
"Ha'e they been se bcastlr these Inst
two weeks?" he asked gently. "Have
I made you hate me?"
Nadla drew an unsteady breath. He
mustn't speak te her like that or that
strange something, waking and whls whls
perlng in bcr might net be stilled
again.
"I think you want a mere experi
enced secretary," Mm answered with
an attempt at matter-ef-fnetness. "I
I haven't been working long, you
see."
"Yeu shouldn't be working nt all,"
Strannck returned abruptly. "Yeu in
a typist's agency 1 It's ridiculous. It's
like keeping a hothouse flower in a
piece of sacking."
Nadla held up a protesting hand.
"Please eh, please," she stammered.
She mustn't let him talk like this!
Stranack caught the band and pressed
its palm against his coat!, covering it
closely with his own.
"I're been every kind of a feel,"
he Mild brcntlikwly. "Pretending te
myself thnt n career niprns such a let
when it Isn't worth a thought if you
aren't going te be there all the time te
tell me hew splendidly I'm doing and
hew proud you are of me pretending
I wanted 'you te work for mc when
it's I who nm going te work all my
life for you '
"Mr. Stranack, you don't realize
let me go, de let me go."
"Never. Never really, though per
haps presently jeu shall have your
bend back just for n moment te pin
up that adorable curl that's slipping
down against your neck."
In a truly feminine, panic Nadla tore
her hand uway and battled with the
refractory tress. The next instant
Stranack's arms were round her, hold
ing her fiercely against his heart.
."Yeu can't get away," he was tell
ig her, his lips against her balr. "Yeu
shnu't move an inch till you've said you
love me, and then you shan't go either
"NeWilfred, no "
"Till I've kissed you, Nsdia." The
laughter bad gene from his voice; she
could feel him trembling. "Nadla. I
can't put it into words all I feel
but you must knew you must guess."
"PleaBe, hush. I mustn't listen "
Bhe freed 'a hand and laid It against
hia mouth. He kissed it passionately.
"De you think that'll step me, you
darling? Loek at me and say you love
me. Just leek at me then ' as she
shook her bead "and I shall knew It
without words. Shan't I see It in your
Oycs. my sweet? Shan't I?"
Lord Deuccster Intrudes -
In the dream she lifted her eyes te
her lever's and then, his lips en hers,
she knew a dream ecstasy that freed the
hidden self in her that had been nlone
se long.
There wus n sound nt the deer that
drove them apart In a flash. Nadla
faced Lord Deuccster. Even In thati
moment of confusion, she noticed his
pose of pained astonishment.
"Father," sold Stranack, reproach
fully. Lord Deuccster closed the deer be
hind him. He advanced Inte the room,
tmtlurried, dignified. lie turned from
his son te Nadla.
"I beg your pardon, Miss Quest," he
snid gravely. "Wilfred, 1 ask you te
accept my apology."
Wilfred Stranack bowed. He would
have given anything te relieve Nadla of
the embarrassment he knew she taust
feel in u far greater degree thun hlm
nclf; but until he knew what nttitude
his father was about te tuke he was
at a disadvantage.
Lord Dene-ester btoed for n moment
or two regarding them Impatiently.
Nadla wits struck afresh by the finely
chiseled features, the inscrutable gaze,
the perfect poise of this old aristocrat,
whom half u continent nppluuded for
his supreme skill in matters of dlplo dlple
uiucj. A keener observer might have
noticed a weukness round the mouth, a
hint of Indecision in the chin. Nudla
saw only the courteous gesture tbut In
vited her te be scuted. She felt utterly
wretched,
"Let's face this position frankly."
T.erd Deuccster began, with a kindli
ness in his voice that went far te seethe
his seu. "At the present moment each
of the three of us is feeling horribly
cmlmrrashcd, when there H no earthly
need that we hheuld de se. By the
merest uccldent I hnve witnessed one
of the commonest tilings in the world,
and ene of the heuiidcbt if the clrcum
btaucea are satisfactory."
Wilfred snatched at the last phrase.
He knew well the thought behind these
words, and the sooner he faced It
wjunrcly the better.
"The clriMinistuiices are wholly satis
factory, father," he cut In. "I have
asked Miss Queht t nmrry me, and falie
bus In effect consented."
"That 1k net uulte uccurute, Lord
DouceHler," raid Nadlu.
"Dear, I bald in effect."
