Audrey sat down in one of X the chairs and tried net te feel pleased that he had asked the question. git had come te qnarrel with him. Harkness looked round apologetically. Te afraid this room's a bit of a den," U laid. "As a matter of fact, except for cleaning, I mr allow It te be touched; net tidied, you'll understand. The ether room is being cleaned out, or something, se I had te ask you in here May I offer you coffee?" .Ve, thank you." Audrey hardly knew hew te begin. The matter was net se easy as it had appeared at Knockholt. She resented the feeling of ...fcfAtfinn wuil'll iienuirnct iiiuja teemed te ferce en her when she was Harkness reached his hand te the mantelshelf and took down n box of cigarettes. Audrey noticed that the picket was the original wrapper in Irblcn they had been sold and was tern untidily. Vet en the sideboard reposed silver cigarette box "De you mind if I smoke?" "I should prefer It." Audrey fal tered, then said: "I have conie te talk seriously te you." Harkness looked at her ever the lifhtcd match he was holding te hit cijirette. "Yes?" He was still finding, but new he sat down in the ether big chair, se that he faced Tier. "Before I go any further" Audrey found herself warming slightly te her task "I want te nssure you that that In spite of what has occurred be tween us, I de net bear malice." "I remember what you said the last time we spoke together," said Hark ness quietly. "I suppose the world would ray that yen treated me very badly." Audrey's roles was very low, but' her utterance perfectly steady. Her strength had never been mere In evidence than it ffti at that moment. Harkness sat ierr still, his eyes net wavering a frac tien from hen. the cigarette burning stray unheeded between bis fingers. The only mnrk of agitation which showed in him was the hard line of his jaw, set and rigid. "I have forgiven you for that," con tinued. Audrey. "At leant, you found the courage te tell me before it was tee late. I appreciated your notion afterward. Although even that did net compensate for tbe wrong you had done." Harkness nodded slowly. He dared net attempt te speak. Audrey leaned forward. "I have said all this because I think Lell Denbigh loves you. I have watched her. Are you aware of that? Are you going te treat her as you did me?" Harkness did net renlr at once te Mndrey's question. Instead he sat and )ked at her steadily. She felt the W creeping up from her threat te h. (checks under his scrutiny. She i Mjm te wonder what he must be think nc of her. Had she behaved in a brazenly rude way? What business was It of hers? "Yeu think I am playing with Leis," said Harkness at last. Audrey's faee set. "One can only judge by experience. "I knew Leis cares for me," said Harkness simply. "Dees she think you care for her?" Harkness t.irncd toward Audrey. Illis ejes were very hard. "That Is my husln"s." The brutality of the rebuff staggered Audrey for the moment, but she quickly recovered. A thrill of anger quickened her pulse. "I am going te tnlk plainly te jeu," thesn!d, "becjuse I believe tlmt nobody 81 in tier ilone se before." The hardness slipped from II Itnes eye. Almest it seemed that un Irenic laughter showed there. "Yeu don't cure," she said swiftly. "Yeu lust se en nnd en and think only of yourself. Yeu are selfish te the core and brutal. I mean it! I am telling you exactly hew you must nlwas up pear te ether people decent people. I mean. There was that horse" she flung her hand In the direction of the photograph of The Centurion. "He should hae wen, nnd jeu knew it. Yeu knew that thousands of pounds lind been staked en him, but just because you wauled te carry out some scheme r ether jeu arranged for him te lese, it is a tjpical Instance of your con duct." "Yeu are, of course, an expert In Bittern connected with the turf." There was the old suue harcabiu in Harkness' voice." "I knew nothing about It, and just be. uw of tlmt the matter is merr Mr 8. What was apparent te my irne, -cc must lme been obvious te the cj. of eerjbedy who can claim te lmc ine knowledge, of the busi neiB. It V" Audrey wns righteously Indignant. t was cheating!" Harkness g,it te his feet. Ter n moment his gaze rested en the photo graph of the big heisc, and then he looked down at Audrey. She could net '"ad lils ejes, ei!cnt te knew that nil lie mockery had gene from them. Then said: "In there nnj thing else?" ies." Audrey steed up. She was tonsclem of his towerlntt height nnd r own physical insignificance. She "ated him for net having remained Mated, because she felt that he had deliberately tried te show her hew big nas. it was n curiously fcmlnlue conception. "Ven nre a waster." Audrey spoke '"J deliberately. "Yeu waste jour i our money, your decency. Can rai eer turn and say. 'I urn going re or 'I am doing this'? Yeu rise JIWne Innrnfiw ..t.,1 ,, ...n..,lA ....iw U night time. And ieur life is like "' nir dais. A dishonored heard his breath come sharp, and hur ried en. "Hew much mere would Leis think of you If she knew you were trying te be useful 1 And your father I Don't you think he might find pride in hi son? I am sure he would. If I ever had a son I should think mere of him than I would of any money." "Yeu don't knew my father." It wan the first time Harkness had ertn attempted te defend himself. "Perhaps you don't knew him your self." countered Audrey swiftly. Harkness groped for the mantelshelf. He took another cigarette from the execrable packet and lighted it. Then he threw it away. Audrey put out her hand as though te touch his arm. but drew hark In time. She was treading en mera dan gereus ground than she knew. m "Will you try?" she murmured. "Will you tell Leis everything?" "I repeat that it is none of your business." Harkness' voice was low but very steady. Audrey flamed. "I shall make It my business. I shall see Leis myself. Yeu have no right" She fumbled with her words and her face became crimson. "I knew you will sneer, and sny busy body, and and all kinds of things, as pnly you can say them hard things, hurtful. But I shall go te her Just the same." The anger died from her voice. "Don't make me de this. After ail perhaps It is interfering. But I could net bear te think that you that she should be unhappy like I am. It would be cruel te allow it, knowing what I de." A knock sounded en tha deer nnd Harkness reused himself. "Excuse me." he said, nnd called, "Come in 1" His man entered. "A telegram, sir." Harkness ripped open the envelope. "Ne answer," he snapped. His face was paler than usual. lie crumpled the telegram and pushed it into his pocket. "Is it bad news?" Audrey's anxiety was patent in her face. Harkness stared at her. and for an atom of time he faltered, then said lacenically: "Nothing Important." Harkness, with the coming of the telegram, seemed te have completely recovered himself. His manner was very easy. "Miss Denbigh is usually te be found at the Arcadian about this time, If you care te go round there. Shall I have a taxi called?" Audrey winced. "Ten are sending me away!" she said in a low voice. "I am sorry," answered Harkness gravely. Audrey went. She wondered a little that her last and most definite emotion was sorrow rather than anger. She did net offer te shake hands with him, nnd j ct she knew it was net because she did net wish te de se, but because Bhe was afraid. Out In St. James' she hailed a taxt nnd told the man te drive her te the Arcadian. Harkness steed very still for some minutes after Audrey had gene. Her accusations and reproaches, the pitiless criticism of his life, had been like se many blows in the face. Her appeal te him had been torture almost unbearable. He cursed himself nnd cursed the pride which had scnt her away unanswered, which would net humble Itself and admit that the greater part of her argument wns correct. He wns unworthy. Mere thancver he realized It. Mere than ever the fu tility of his existence came home te him. Te be a geed fellow he had thought the greatest thing in life. Te have the men with whom he consorted speak of him as n decent chap what mere could a man strive for? But new he understood the emptiness of it. A man could earn the rcRpect of his fellows by n different method from mere wild spending and reckless cencresity. He could make him self a man indeed. That must always win respect. "Unntable ns water!" The phrase flashed through his mind. He was un stable. He, who had boasted of his strength, was shifty and changeful ns n peel when the wind blows across Its surface. Yet did it matter? Why should he take up n lead of core and work and worry ? He thought of the telearem then and took it from his pocket, spreading It cniefulb once mere before his gaze. It had been handed in at Sheffield, nnd was very short. "Father dangerously ill. Come at ence. HILARY." Hilary was his father's private secre. tarv. He took up nn ARC and turned te the train for Sheffield. SHWW Gum, werh evrr wvtvi itt& tevtG, TOtOV MMfcA. OT mc& VIA AH tW HMt.T JMtN TO TH.

She attended te some rose trees for n while, and Aunt Ella came te her. "Where Is Audrey?" she asked. "Gene te town te see Harkness," answered Constance. Aunt Ella looked nt her. "What deeH that mean?" Coustnnce shrugged her shoulders. "I don't knew. She did net tell me. Of one thing I am sure, she hasn't gene te plead with him. De you knew, Ella. Audrey Is rnther beyond me." Aunt 1311a nodded sagely. "The Conningtens always were beyond jeu, Constance. Yeu are wise In jour worldly way. but they are wise In the spirit. Theirs Is nn inherited wise-nes-s, if the phrase be permitted. And Audrey is n Connlngten. although she hns all your beauty of fuce." Constance bent ever tne roses. "This mutter Is net easv," she said at length. "What matter?" "This matter of Audrey. I had planned and planned, nnd it Is all going nf-trnj. The visit of Audrey te Harkness tj pities eer, thing.
