They had not chosen-to meat the office below, because it was a Saturday and the rooms had been dusted and darkened for the week end. They sat, instead, upstairs, in “what was really Mrs. Kane's drawing-room; and their carried much of their speech to shaky wall. "I won't - be spoke to like that, r. Lodely, not by anyone and by )cu least of all.” voice was growing regrettably rag- ged and high, she thought, and he wasn’t expressing himself quite so gentlemanly as usual; but he was -sticking to his point, he was standing- up for. himself and, al- though she trembled, she craned her neck to- hear him. But Mr. Lodely was expleding again. “Dammit, Cane, if ever there was a time when we've all got to face plain faets—!”; “I'm facing 'em all right. I can! spell words like ruin and bank- ruptey as well as you and better than Mr. Quentin.” “Quentin has Jost his grasp of affairs, that's all; dying. By God, I never thought to envy a dying man, but I envy him! Whatever is in store for us won't hurt him —hell be out of it! Gone!” “He'll leave his wife and the little girl behind though, won't he? What'll they have to live on? Mfs. Quentin hasn't a penny of her own! Why isn't he wor- 1ying out his last days, trying to provide for them? No, Mr. Lode- ly, it's not because he’s lost his grasp of things—it’s because he er had none. Books were his crest. Fishing. Gardening.

And you can get out of my house.” Mrs. Cane gulped and held on to the arms of her chair. She waited for the crash of Mr. Lodely {flinging himself upon her poor| James. . . .

Of course, there was poor little Mark, he was a great expense and one had; never groudged him the best of everything. And what hope was there for his future now? Mr. Lodely, down in the inn- | to it.
