"What do you care. . . while there is . . . me. . . ." she whispered, straining her pale, peaky little face up to his. For a moment he stood there, passively with Jocelyn clinging round his neck, too dumfounded to do anything, or to think clearly. When he did recover from his astonishment to think anything at all, his first thought was that Jocelyn must suddenly have gone completely mad. He tried unceremoniously to loosen her clinging hands, but she only clung the tighter. "lou do love me, don't you, Jim? And, Jim, I've always loved you . . . always !

But Oliver must now know that her anxiety to help Gresham's was just a disguise for her passionate desire to save Jim. She dressed presently, and was ready when Ames called for her. He took her to the best restaurant in Newchester and" when dinner was well under way, said: "Now then, Lucy, what was it you so urgently wanted to see me about?" "About Gresham's," she answered, "and Linforths." He looked at her a little surprised. "Since ... ther. For "Don't be silly, Jocelyn. mercy's sake, pull yourself together," he said. face.

But again he realized the brutal bluntness of his words, and added : "Of course I know you don't mean it. . . . It's just. . . ." But he His attempt at got no further. It soothing her was flicked her vanity almost more stingingly than his brutal outspokenness had. She sprang up from the couch, her thin little body quivering from head to foot; her pale face white as a sheet; her eyes feverishly bright. "I don't mean It? And you're sorry if I'm hurt? And I'm to pull myself together. . . . Y'ou're sorry. . . ." she cried out, flinging the words back at him with passionate Thanks. . . . contempt "Sorry And I don't mean all I say? Don't I.

"There's no question of it. . . he put in, trying to stem the tor. rent of her words. "I know your marriage with Lucy Is a fiasco. She told me so, herself . . ." she went on. "She confided the whole thing to me. She told me that she was tired of your coldness toward her; that she was going to get free of you for a bit . . ." She was inventing wildly now.

He spoke a little diffidently, as a man will when he speaks of something that means a lot to him. "Then If you're glad of that Oliver, you'll promise me to use my money, if It should be necessary. Or before It's necessary, Jf it should ever be useful. I've got a heap, as you know. And it's, every penny of it, Gresham's." "What does Jim say to this?" he asked, and the question came so suddenly that she started, say- ing: "Whatl" . And, recovering quickly, managed a very good imitation of a laugh and went on quickly: "Oh, Jim isn't interested in what I do with my money. He has such a lot that mine doesn't count," she went on, conscious that she was speaking very fast, "and since he . . . does . i . precisely as be likes with his own . . . he'd be the very first to admit the justice of my doing as I like with miue. . . ." She could not prevail upon Oliver to give the definite promise she wanted, but he did say that he'd remember it when lie had need. And with that Lucy had to he content, and after that, they talked in a more general way. Next day, he took her over the yards and offices of Gresham's, showing her everything; and explaining things to her, lucidly and well. She was tremendously interested in everything and something tremendously more than interested, too. Bor, though to Ames this was merely the familiar place where the work of Gresham's went on, to her it was the place where .lira bad done his bit of that work. The place where he had put his big energy Into his job; his hope and am The place where disbition, too. grace had fallen upon him, and the doors of the future had suddenly closed against him. She spoke of the Warrington case. Asking questions about it as unconcernedly as she could, while her heart threatened to suffocate her with its violent beating. "You've got that wretched man on your conscience, Lucy," Ames "Your father said you told her. had been talking about him only a little while ago." "His ,case," she answered, flushing, "is part of the history of I want to know it all; Gresham's. In every detail." "Then you shall," he said easily, and steered the talk along happier channels. As they were passing the entrance to the offices, a man came running briskly downstairs and out through the wide doorway. Ames stopped hira. "Oh, Macklin," he said, "will yon take Mrs. Lee to have a look at the works? She Is here to Inspect" The man turned quickly, a smile on his lips. "I will Indeed, sir," he answered, with an air of very respectful pleasure. "Go with Mr. Macklin, Lucy," said seen Ames, "and when you've everything you want to see, tell him to bring you up to my office." Lucy went off with her new guide. He was very attentive, very respectful. But Lucy disliked him. She could not have told just why. Perhaps it was the touch, ever so slight but still a touch of cringing in his deference. He was just a shade too respectful. Lucy found herself jarred and irritated by it and she was glad when she had seen all she wanted to and could ask him to show her to Oliver's office. He rose as Macklin showed Lucy in, and pushed up a chair for her. "Since you are so Interested in that affair, Lucy," he said, "I've looked out the various papers and notes about it, so that you can see them. Mrs. Lee is anxious to know that Warrington had a square deal, Macklin," he added. Macklin was nt the door, Just going out He stopped ; stood still a moment; then turned back. "I wish we could think he didn't, sir. He always seemed such a fine young fellow." Lucy felt an almost irresistible Impulse to get up and hit at something or some one; Macklin perhaps, for the smug patronage of his words and tone. "Such a fine young fellow. . . . Jim!
