We—we neither of us Iknow what to do. -It is terrible, an awful thing. Crang is like some loathsome creature to her, and yet in some way that I cannot discover he has got her into his power. I have tried everything, used every ar- gument 1 can with her, pleaded with her—and it has been useless.” He raised his arms suddenly above his head, partly it seemed in supplic tion, partly in menace. “Oh, God! ihe cried out. 1, too, love her, for ‘she has really been my daughter Ithrough all these vears. But I do not quite understand. He turned to Hawkins. “Even if you kept your promise now, my friend, what con- nection has that with Dr. Crang? Could that in any way prevent this marriage?”’ It was John Bruce who answered. “It Is the last ditch,” he sald even- ly: “the one way you have not tried “to tell her her own and her father's story.

Hawkins’ fingers fumble®. now with the but- tons on his vest, now with the brim of his hat which he had picked up aimlessly from the table; and his ey lifting from the floor, glanced tim- orously, almost furtively, at Paul Veniza, and sought the floor again. John Bruce got up from his chalir and stepped toward them. “I want to tell you something.” he said sharply, “that ought to put an end to any hesitation on your parts lat any plan, no matter what, that offers even the slightest chance of stopping this marriage. Listen! Devil though you both bellieve this Crang to be. you do not, either of wou, even know the man for what he is. While I was lying there"—he flung out his hand impulsivi toward the couch—"the safe he in this room was opened and robbed one night. You know that. But vou do not know that it was done by Dr. Crung and his confederates. You know what happened.

He blundered on: “Paul felt he was r sponsible for Your money, and he w. afraid you might not want to take it If you knew he had to make it up out of his own pocket, and- John Bruce took a step forward, and iaid his hand on Paul Veniza's shoul- ider.

In the life I've led men like you are rare.” ‘We were speaking of Dr. Crang,” said Paul Veniza, a lfttle awkwardly. “If you know that Dr. Crang is the { thief, then that is the way out of our trouble. Instead of marrying Claire, he_will be sent to prison. ohn Bruce shook his head. You said yourself I was uncon- jous at the time. You certainly must have found me that way, and Crang would make you testify that for days I had been raving in delirium.

I do not ask you to release Hawkins from his pledge; I ask you to believe his promise this time because back of it he knows it may save Claire from what would mean worse than dea to her. I believe him: T will vouc for him. Do you agree, Paul Veniza? For an instant the white-haired pawnbroker seemed lost in thought; then he nodded his head gravely. “In the last few days.” he said slowly, “I have felt that it was no longer my province to masquerade as her father. I know that my influence is powerless. As you have said, it s the cri a very terrible crisis, in her life. He turned toward Hawkins and held out his hand. “My old friend"—his voice broke—"I pray heaven to aid you—to aid us all.” Hawkins blue eyes filled suddenly with tear: “You believe me, too, Paul, this time!” he said in a choking voice. I promise! So help “Listen, Paul! me, God—I promise!” A lump had somehow risen in John Bruce's throat. He turned away, and for a moment there was silence in the room. And then he heard Paul Veniza speak: “She s dear to us all. Let us call her—uniess, my old friend, you would rather be alone.” “No, no!” Hawkins cried hurriedly.

At Five Minutes to Eight. Before the rickety washstand and in front of the cracked glass that served as a mirror and was suspend- ed from,a nail driven into the wall Hawkins was shaving himself. Pe haps the light from the wheezing gas- jet was overbad that evening, or per- haps it was only in playful and fa- cetlous mood with the mirror acting the roll of co-conspirator; Hawkins' chin smarted and was raw; littie specke of red showed here and there through the repeated coats of lather which he kept scraping off with his razor. But Hawki appeared willing to sacrifice even the skin itself to ob- as his goal. And so over and oy again he applied the lather, and hoed it off, and tested the result by rubbing thumb and forefinger critic y his face. He made no grimac did he show any irritation at the none-too-keen blade that played hav- oc with more than the lather, nor did he wince at what must at times have been anything but a painless ope tion.

It was twenty minutes to 8. “I got to hurry.” said Hawki happily. *. ‘nty minutes—aft 3 Hawkins laid aside the razor, washed and scrubbed at his fac it shone; then he went to h and opened it. From underneath the tray he lifted out an old black suit. Perhaps again it was the gas-jet in either baleful or facetious mood, for, as he put on the suit, the cloth in spots seemed to possess, here a rusty and there a greenish tinge, and else- where to be woefully shiny. Also, but of this the gas-jet could not have been held guilty, the coat and trousers, and indeed the waistcoat, were un- deniably most sadly wrinkled. And now there seemed to be some- thing peculiarly congruous as be- tween the feeble gas-jet, the cracked mirror, the wabbly washstand the threadbare strip of carpet that lay be- side the iron bed and the old bent- shouldered figure with wrinkled face in wrinkled finery that stood there knotting with anxious, awkward fingers a large, fraved black cravat about his neck: there seemed to be something strikingly in keeping be- tween the man and his surroundings, a sort of common intimacy, as it were, with the twilight of an existence that indeed had never known the full sun- light of high noon. It was ten minutes to 8. Hawkins put the silver watch in h pocket, extinguished the spluttering gas-jet that hissed at him as though in protest at the scant ceremony with which it was treated, and went down the He stepped briskly out on the street.

Hawkins walked on half way along the block, erect, step, his head high, smiling into every face he met—and turning to smile again, conscious that people as the passed had turned to look back at him, . And then very gradually Haw- Kins' pace slackened, and into his face and eyes there came a dawning anxiety, and the smile w “I'm kind of forgetting.

He began to mutter to himself. At the corner of the street he raised an old gnarled fist and shook it, clenched, above his head, unconscious and oblivious now that ‘people still turned and look at m. . And then a little way ahead of him along the street that he must go to reach the one-time pawnshop of Paul Veniza his eyes caught the patch of light that flltered out to the sidew from under the swinging doors €7 fne familiar saloon and from the win- dows _in a more brilliant flood.
