It was notice rile that hlle he was almost fulsome In his congratulations te Norn and 6nr.eerdial te Dartrey, life scarcely ".lanced at Tnllente and confined lilra ,,lf te n nod by way of greeting. "Couldn't believe It when you told m r the telephone." he said. "I con sulate you both heartily. What about Leeds Dartrey?" "Splendid!" "It's the end, I suppose? ntt...t..iit! That Is why I tele phoned for you. Herlock Is quite re llcned. I understand that they will .end for me. but I Uh te tell you, Miller, as I have just told .Tallente, ihat I have finally made up my mind that it would net be in the best interests of our rnrty for me te attempt te form a ministry myself. I nm therefore pass ing the task en the Tallente. Here Is h list of what we propose." Miller clenched the sheet of paper in Ida hand without glancing at it. His tone was bellicose. "De I understand that Tallente Is te be rrlme Minister?" "Certnlnly ! Xou see I haTe put you denn for the home office, Sargent ah Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sander Sander en ii "I don't want te hear any mere," Miller interrupted. "It's time we had this out. I ebjee te Tallente being iilared at the hend of the party. "And why?" Dartrey asked coldly. "Because he is a newcomer nnd has done nothing te earn such a position," Miller declared; "because he has ceme ie ub ns an opportunist; because there are ethers who have served the cause of the people for all the years of .their life, who have n better claim; and be iuse at heart, mind you, Dartrey, he Isn't a people's man." "What de you mean by saying that I am net u people's man?" Tnllcute de manded. "Just what the words indicate,' was the almost flerce reply. "You're Eten ihd Oiferd. net beard-school and ap prentice. Your biatn brings you te the cause of the people, net your henit. Yeu nrcn't one of us nnd never could be. .You're an aristocrat, and befere we l.new where we were you'd be legislat ing for aristocrats. You'd try te fnpak them into jour Cabinet. Its their atmosphere you've been brought tip in. It's with them you want te live. That's what 1 mean when I say eu're net n poeplo'a man, Tallente. and I defv nny one te say that you are." "Miller," Dnrtrev intervened earn istly, "jeu are expounding n cne from the narrow cot point of iew. Yeu say that Tnllente ns born an aristocrat. Thnt mnv or mnv net be true, but mrely it makes his espousal of the people n cause nil the mere honest ana convincing? Ter you te sny that he Is net a people's man. jeu who have heard hH speeches in the Hourc, who have read his pamphlets, "he have followed, as ou must hnvc followed, his political inreer Is sheer felly." "Then I nm content te remain n feel," Miller rejoined. "Once nnd for all, I decline te serve under Tallente, and I warn you thnt If jeu put him for ward, If jeu go se far, even, as te ghe Mm b sent in the Cabinet of the (lov (lev irnnirnt It is jour Jeb te form, jeu will ilisiinlte the pnrty nnd bring calnmlty upon us." "Hne you nny further rensen for your nttltude," Tnllente nslted ppltit edh, "except these jeu hue put for ward?" Miller met his questioner's earnest Ra?n delimit lj. "I have," he admitted. "Stnte it new, then, please." Miller re'e te his feet. He bernme a little oratorical, mere thnn usuully Mtlficinl. "1 make mv nppenl te you, Dartrey," n Raid.

" " article, 'ittlih I0' liayy demanded. "Your lV thedSVnllllen Cabinet, was per- wa mere than sound, It was sympathetic," Tallente insisted. "That Is why I worked myself into the state of Indignation which Induced me te write it. I will net defend It. It Is sufficient (e remind you both thnt when we were hard pressed, when England really had her back te the wall, when coal was the very bleed of her life, a Btrlke wns declared In Seuth Wales, and received the open sympathy of the faction with which this mnn Milter here Is associated. Miller has spoken plainly about me. Let him henr what I have te say about him. He went down te Seuth 'Wales te visit these miners, and hu enceurnged them In a course of nctlen which, if ether Industries had followed suit, wetild hnve brought this country Inte slavery nnd disgrace. And furthermore, let me remind you of this, Dartrey. It was Miller's branch of the Knber Tarty who sent him te Switzer land te confer with enemy Socialists nnd for the last eighteen months of the war he virtually lived under the es pionage of our secret service a sus pected traitor." "tt's n lie!" Miller fumed. "It Is the truth nnd easily proved," Tnllente retorted. "When pence came, however, Miller's party nltercd their tactics nnd the hatchet was te have been burled. "My article was directed against the trades unions as they were nt that time, I'.et1a?.t,,e-v. nrc ld5. and I still clnim that if public opinion had . net driven them Inte an arrangement with the Government my article would hnvu been published nnd would hnve done geed. Ie publish It new could answer no use ful purjwse. Its application is geno nnd the conditions which prompted Its tone disappeared." "I am beginning te understand." Dartrey admitted. "Tell me. hew did the manuscript ever leave your posses sion, Tnllente?" "I will tell you." Tallente replied, pointing ever at Miller. "Becnue that man paid Palllser, my secretary, five thousand pounds out of his sccrct-serv-ice money te obtain possession of it." Miller was plnlnly discomfited. "Who told you thnt He?" he faltered. "It's no He It's the truth," Tnllente rejoined. "Yeu used five thousand pounds of becret-service .money te gratify a prlvnte spite." "That's false, anyhow," Miller re torted. "I have no personal spite against you, Tnllente. I leek upon jeu as a dangerous man In our party, nnd it I have sought for means te remove you from It, it has been net from per sonal feeling, but for the geed of the cause." "There stands your lender," Tallente continued. "Did you consult him be fore jeu bribed my secretary and hawked about that article, first te Hor Her lock nnd new te henven knows whom?" "It is the first I have heard of if," Dartrey said sternly. "Just se. It gees te prove what I have declared before that Miller's at tack upon 'me Is n personal one." "And I deny It!" Miller exclaimed fiercely. "I don't like you, Tallente; I hate your class and I distrust your pres ence in the ranks of the Democratic Pnrty. Against your leadership I shall fight teeth and nail. Dnrtrev," he went en, "you cannot glve Tallente supreme control ever us. Yeu will only court disaster, because thnt article will surely appear nnd the whole position will be made ridiculous. I ,am strong enough that Is te say, these who are behind me will take ray word en trust te wreck the position en Thursday. I can keep ninety Laber men out of the lobby and the Government will carry their vote of confidence. In that case our coming into power mar be deluyed for vrnr. AVe shnll less the erent op pertunity of this century. Tallente is jour friend, Dartrey. but the causa comes first. I shall leave the decision with veu." Miller took his departure with a smile of evil triumph upon his thin lips. He had hi9 moment of discomfiture, hew ever, when Dartrey coldly ignored his extended linnrf. xne two men lett dc hind heard the deer slam. "This Is the devil of a business. Tnllente!" Dartrey said grimly. CHAPTER XV Nera returned te the room as Miller left. "I don't knew whether you wanted me te go," she .said te Dartrey, "but 1 cannot sit nnd listen te thnt mnn tulle. I try te keep mjself free from prejudices, but there are exceptions. Miller is my pet one. Tell me exactly what he came about? Something dls ugreeable. I am sure?" They told her, but she declined te take the matter seriously. "A position like this is nccessnilly disagreeable," she argued, "but 1 have confidence in .Mr. inllente. Kemem her, this article was written nine years age, Stephen, and theueh for twenty four hours it may make things uu liIeiiHiint, I feel sure thnt it won't de nearly the harm jeu Imagine. And think what a confcHslen te make! That mnn, who alms nt being a Cabinet Min ister, hits here In this room nnd ml ,mlts thnt he bribed 5Ir. Tallcnte's tec 'letnrj with TKIOO pounds te steal the manuscript out of his safe. Hew de nu think that will go down with the public?" "A certain portion of the public, I am afraid," Tnllente said gravely, "will say that I discovered the theft and killed PalllHcr." 'Killed Palllser!" Nera repented ln ln credueusly. "I never heard such rub bish!" "Palllser certainly disappeared en the evenlug of the day when he purtcd with the manuscript te Miller," Tal Tal leneo went en, "nnd has never been seen or heard of since." "Hut there must be some explanation of that," Dartrey observed. There was u short silence, signifi cant of a curious change In the ntmos ntmes phcrc. Tnllente's silence grew te pos pes stsh a queer tdgiiltlciiuce. The gheht of rumors te which neither Irad ever lis tened suddenly forced its way back Inte the minds of the ether two. Dartrey was the Hi bt te collect himself. 'Tnllente," he said, "as a private poison 1 have no desiie te ask jeu n blngle question concerned with jour private life, but we have come te some thing of a crisis. It Is necessary that I should knew the worst. Is there, any thing else Miller could bring up against you?" "Te the best of my belief, nothing," Tnllente replied calmly. "That is net sufficient," Dartrey persisted. "Have you any knowlcdge, Tallente, which the world does net share, of the disappearance of this man Palllser? It Is Inevitable that If jeu discovered his treachery there should have been hard words. Did jeu lme nnj scene with him? De jeu knew mere of his disaipcnrance than Mm world knows?" "I de," Tiillenle leplled. "Yeu shall shnie that knowledge with me n n certain extent. 1 hud another uiiim'i for qu.iriel with Pnlllser te which I de nut t'hueM' te refci. but en u nr- i rival home that nlisht I summoned hint fiem the house nnd led him te nn eptn Hinice. 1 ndmlt that 1 chose u primitive method of liilllctlng punishment upon a traitor. I Intended te thrash Pnl llser, u ceurse of nctlen in which I ask you, Dartrey. te believe, ns u man of honor. I was justified. 1 struck tee hard and PnllUer went ever the cllu'."
