Poole did not trouble to suppress a chuckle. Showing the hired man his place in front of his employer, jeh? Neat stunt, that. Armitage, joblivious of the by-play, was hand- ‘ling a couple of letters, “If you have a few minutes to Lodely—” surely, that my time is yours?” “Lt wrote to Miss Quentin, ss you suggested, abont the studio, but she is unable to come. I wrate again, a day or two ago, but she is stil! unwilling to undertake the commission.” ‘ Poole stared at the fire. Arm itage’s voice had given him eway. It wasa woman. “It really doesn’t matter. Pve looked at Malavie’s handiwork end % will do beautifully for everything except work, And, for work, I can carry onvwherg] am.” still showing, ever so slightly, his teeth. “Then, I've also been in com- munication with Sir Robert Phil- hay,” went on Armitage. “He was a friend of my father's.” “Yes? Another millionaire, I resume?” “No. Sir Robert isn’t a million- aire and I don’t expect he ever will be; his interests don’t Me in money-making. He is, or was, a very famous bone-setter.” “Ob, a quack!” said Mark in- differen! “Sir Robert Philhay is recog- nized by the medical profession,” Armitage said patiently. “I don’t think he’s called a quack nowa- days. At any rate, he has brought off some marvelous. cures. I wanted ‘Pim to come and’eo" You.” A flash passed over Mark's face. it was gone in an instant, but it softened Poole into sympathy again. Poor devil, he had known hope and longing, under that*bit- terness! “He is rather eccentric. He—” Armitage hesitated. “He says he hasn’t come up to Town for many years and he'd rather we went to see him. He mentions next Tues day. Ho offers to put us up.” Poole made a quick, involuntary movement. He knew exactly what was going to happen, “As it happens, next Tuesday is impossible. That’s the night of my party,” smiled Mark. “But, good God!—your party? You can haye a party any night!” “I don’t think so, I'm booked for every other evening and I’ve made @ good deal of splash about my Puesday night studio parties. This, ‘hs the first of them, is the most important.” “More important than the chance of being made a sound man in- stead of—” Armitage caught back the word. Poole, his eyes on his shoes, tried to focus Armitage’s mind with his, own. Dammit all, telepathy, was possible, why shouldn’t it work be- tween them now? Armitage— Armitage—stick to your wheel— don’t let the little whelp spoil your “We'll leave it for the time be ing, Lodely, shall we?” Much better. Poole nodded solemnly at his much more the Sound idea, telepathy! “My dear Armitage, don’t put yourself to such trouble in the mat- ter. Poor though I am, I have been examined by several men of genuine repute; and they are agreed that my case is beyond them.” “Wonderful how sweet-tempered you always keep!” put in Poole. “Example to the rest of us, abso lately!" “Besides I must ask myself, Arm- Atage, whether I can conscientious ly accept this further charity at yoyr hands. You are interested in my welfare solely because of any talent I may possess.

Armitage straightened slowly and slowly moved away from his | chair, He spoke over his shoulder, | “Don’t go too far. Amuse your- self with ridiculing me and my friends, if you choose; but remem- ber that it wouldn’t really suit you to be packed back to the prov- inces.” The artist’s furious eyes followed him. “That threat comes too late to be effective,” he said. “If you throw me out of here, there are a half- dozen houses. open-to me. You've let me get my feet too firmly. in.” “£ doubt that. Not many men would give you the fone you de- mand.” “I don’t bother about the men, My strong suit is always the wo- men.” “The women!” Armitage’s dig- gust thickened the words to a snarl. He went to the door, dragging his | pipe from his pocket. Poole re- joiced at the action—the strain was over. door, Then— “I could give you a lot more ad- vice about women,” he murmured.

He was feeling for his te- bacco-pouch, [f he stopped at the door, it was perhaps only because he wanted to fill his pipe. “You should not oniy never pur | suo them (Ive already told you that) but you should never let them succeed in pursuing you, If they try to, by all means encourage the idea; but never Jet them run you to earth.” “Whistle when you want them,” concluded the mockery from the big chair, “but by the time they come panting up, be elsewhere.” Poole was surprised that Armi- | tage should make response. “There may be such women. { Bvidently there are, because men of your calibre generally talk that idlad of poigon. But there are wo- men who in spite of their pity for you and their kindness, are not to be whistled to your side when they have once decided that they will net e¢ome.” “I wonder!” Armitage epened the door. Poole, watching both men, knew that Armitage would not yet be allowed to go, “By the way, Armitage, I should tnuth obliged:if you- would write to Barbara again. On second thought I can’t occupy your ded- room for the whole year of my stay. If Barbara can fix me up 2 | workroom somewhere, and honest- ly, she's the only person who knows what I need, I can get down to hard work.” “fve written to Miss Quentin twice, She’s qaite firm in her re- fusal, It would be useless for me to—" “Perhaps it would. Perhaps it woul be useless for you.” The q@mphasis was delicate but un- mistakable. “I must do what I ought to have done at once, Would you mind sending the wire for me?" “The wire? To Miss Quentin?” “Of course. Just wire ‘Come’ and sign it “Mark’,” Q “You wish mie to send Miss Quentin a telegram eaying no more than ‘Come, Mark’?” “What more need I say? You don’t think it enough?” ‘There was no answer. Armitage, pipe drawing very satisfactorily, hands quite steady again, walked out of the room. Poole left the fire for the win- dow and stared out at ‘the in. evitable London garden; shrubs, Sravel, statuary green with damp, “I shall have to trouble you for @ little brandy,” came from the chair, Poole wandered back without haste and regarded the guest close- ly.
