N a fit of dejection, I stopped in the | middle of the long cinder path facing the grimmest, ugliest, most fearsome building I had ever scen, There was no lodge, no wall to pro- | tect it from the road, no garden. There | it stood, a great bullding that age| seemed only to have rendered more hideous, straight-fronted, with rows of uninviting windows, and at the two ends round towers, with huge windows. It was big enough for a prison or an asylum, and unpleasing enough for cither. That here in a desoiate land an hour by train out of London it should be the dwelling place of any sane man seemed to me incredible, and yet in my pocket reposed a letter addressed to “Martin Hews, esq., Breezsley Mansion,” and that letter, together with nine-| pence- halfpenny, was my last resource | againrt storvation, ¥ received my first shock. The door was opencd even before my finger was with- drawn. A butler, who would not have disgraced a Grosvenor Square mansion, leaned forward with an air of bene- volent inquiry. “I have come down from London to see Mr. Hews,” I explained. “I have a letter of introduction to him. He led me across a hall that, in those confused moments, seemed to me like the anteroom of a palace, motioned me to enter a small, automatic lift, followed me in and closed the gates. We shot up some three stories, after which he again took charge of me, ushered me down a corridor where my feet fell soundlessly upon the thick carpet, and at its further end touched the knob of a bell. We heard its gentle tinkling in the room, and almost immediately, with- out any visible agency, the door of an | apartment almost as spacious as a JUNE 20, 1929. | pression of him was that he was seated | knew of that episode in my life to —but at that moment I could not be sure of anything definite regarding his posture. He was inclosed in what seemed to be an amazing sort of bath chair, the front of which was hidden in the knee hole of the desk, so that only the upper part of his body was visible. The effect he produced upon me, during those few minutes, remains to this day an_indescribable thing. One would have expected, from an affiicted person, a certain delicacy of | expression and outline, the pallor that is nearly always associated with every sort of suffering. The man before me was of an entirely different type. His face was inclined to be round in shape. He had color upon his cheeks that at first seemed to me as though it must be unnatural. His brown eyes were curiously prominent, almost beady. He had carefully trimmed, bushy eyebrows of a lighter shade, and & mass of brown When T pressed the electric bell, I | hair, arranged with such absolute per- fection that from the first I suspected it to be a wig. His mouth was by far ] It had a | delicacy of its own, and a sensitiveness his most attractive feature. almost childish. “You are Maj. Owston?” he asked, looking across at me, ‘That is my name, sir.” I answered. ‘What sort of employment do you [ in the world that will ant?"” ‘Any sort keep me ¥rom starvation.” He scrutinizéd me thoughtfully, raised his hand and pointed to a chair. I sat down and would have moved it a little nearer to his desk, but found to my amazement that it was screwed to the floor, and that underneath the seat was a maze of wire and tubes. I eat win- ight was found also that it faced the dow through which the “streaming in.

Later you have thrown the hammer as only the Americans can throw it. You were in the semi-finals of the amateur boxing championship twelve years ago. There was a rumor that it was a gesture of chivalry that prevented your winning. You were supposed to be good enough for county cricket, even for Yorkshire, but the war came, and you developed |into a keen soldier. You did a little more than average well—twice mention- ed, I beleve, and the D. S. O. After- ward you had usual bad luck of a man who had not settled upon his profession definitely when the war broke out. You lef' your regiment and tried soldiering in Morocco with the Spaniards. Then, of course, aflair—rather an unfortunate episode just then. Anything I have forgotten, Maj. Owston?” there was that French| E.

Finally he passed me like a streak, and before I could thor- ourhly collect myself he was seated again opposite me behind the table. The motor ceased to throb. His eyes sought mine triumphantly. He was evidently wrapped in deep enjoyment of my stupe- faction. “Have you ever seen anything like that?” he demanded. “Never in my life,” I assured him, as soon as I could find words. “I can't even now understand how such delicate steer- ing can ever be learned. It's—it's mi- raculous!” His smile was like the smile of a child whose dolls have been praised, or & mother whose infant has been flattered. It transformed his whole appearance, and it helped me to appreciate the persis- tence of those small vanities that were woven like a thread through the man’s whole being. Incidentally it gave me confidence. I had no longer fear about NOISELESSLY THE PANELS ROLLED BACK AND A WOMAN STOOD FRAMED IN THE APERTURE. that ninepence-half-penny in my trousers pocket. He pointed to the win- dow—the great, uncurtained window in the full light of which I sat. “Go over there,” he ordered. “Fol- low the road back to London. Tell me is you see anything.” I obeyed him and looked searchingly along that soggy, ill-made, muddy thoroughfare, ~stretching across the marshes bordered by the threadbare hedges and yawning dykes, to where & lowering mass of mingled mist and smoke hung over the approaches to the city. “1 see the road until it disappears,” I reported. “It is empty.” He glanced at an electric clock uj the table and frowned. Then he from its stand one of the telephone re- ceivers by which he was surrounded and spoke into it so softly that I failed to hear a word he said.” Again he turned toward me. 1929, AT’ THREE-THIRTY O'CLOCK . “You will forgive the peculllrn{uol ve FIVE O'CLOCK P.M.. the following-described Terms of sale: One-third of the purchase | east corner of said lot and running thence | mycoum swung open. e I was speechless.
