"Let me go," she said, a third time. There was a moment when she was crushed so close that she could scarcely breathe. Then she was thrust violently from him, and he was crying out: "D n it!

She did ' not quite know how she arrived at that; he was perfectly quiet. Too quiet ; perhaps that was it. His actions were slow and measured, and yet she felt there was a turbulence underlying the smallest movement of his hand, that was all the time threatening to break out. He did not speak, but he looked at her all the time, and she felt that underlying something in his eyes too. She was terribly worried ; and felt responsible. Yet what had she done last night that she would not do again, given the same circumstances? How could she use her love for him as a bribe to make, him relinquish his hate of Gresham's. And even if he should relinquish all active manifestations of that hate In order to gain her love, the hate itself would still remain. She could not have done otherwise ; jould not have used his love lu such a way; and was hurt to the deeps of her heart that he should have asked it of her. She left shortly after ten. and he said no single word of farewell. But Just as she was going out of the room, he said, In a tone she had never heard from him before: "I don't know what may happen now. . . . But you will be responsible for It whatever it may be. . . . Do you understand me?" She raised a hand to her lips, to steady them, but could not speak, and in silence, left him.

He was asked to go round to the office at once, as the man who had been watching the place, had come back with an Interesting story. He went Immediately, and the story proved Interesting Indeed. As a result of It, and when he had mastered all the details of It, Lee went out to Gresham's, and without waiting for anyone's leave, went straight up to Ames' office. There he found Ames, seated at his desk, and Macklin sitting by him, both evidently talking earnestly. Lee shut the door and planted himself with his back to It, and the two men at the desk looked up sharply. Macklin half arose, uttering an exclamation, but sank back Into his chair again, as Ames motioned him to keep still. "What do you want, Warrington?" asked Ames quietly. "I'll tell you," answered Jim, Just as quietly, but with that tur moil Lucy had sensed beneath tne Iff 1 w?)

"But perhaps this big man is no real friend of Mackiln's," Lee went on. "Perhaps Macklin only used him, for some purpose, and has found since that this man Is not so easy as he seemed.
