Runnels drew a deep breath., “Oh, come, now, the man must have known what he was saying. Men don’t do things like that on suspicion.” “He misunderstood our friendship,” said Kirk heavily, then roused himself for a last plea. *“Look here!” he cried. “You know Cortlandt, and you know me. The man was insanely jealous. 1 know it sounds weak, but it's the truth, and it's all I can say. I'll go “Don't worty about thal. I'm think- ing about Cortlandt, If he finds out he's mistatkei What will he do?” “Ie'll have to find out. I'm going to tell him. God! Do you see what an awful light it puts me in?

But they were too much ab- sorbed to wonder what had kept him up so late. By the clock across the plaza they saw it was two hours after midnight as they stepped into the street. Then, finding no coaches in sight, they set out to walk toward An- con, both badly in need of the open afr. A moment later Clifford followed them, taking palns to keep at a dis- tance. Now that the full import of Cort- landt’s accusation had sunk into his mind, Kirk lapsed into a mood of sul- len bitterness. He said little, but his set face worried his companion, who was loath to bid him good night even when they were close to the Tivoll. After they had parted Runnels was upon the point of going back and offer- ing to spend the night with bim, but thought better of It. Instead of passing through the office Kirk mounted to the porch of the Ti- voli and entered his room from the outside, as he and Chiquita had done earlier that evening. [IIe found Allan wating and bursting with a desire to | gossip, but cut him short. “Get my street clothes. T'm going out.” [le tore the white tie from his throat as if it were choking him. “I've been hurt, Allan. T can’t explain, for you wouldn't understand, but I've been hurt. Come along.” The negro's lips drew apart in an ex- pression of apelike ferocity, and he be- gan to chatter threats of vengeance, to which Kirk pald little beed. A tew mo- ments later they went out quietly, and together they took the rock road down toward the city, the one silent and desperate, the other whining like a hound nearing a scent. * * * * * . . Edith Qertlandt did not retire im- mediately upon her return from the ball. Her anger at Anthony’s behavior kept her wakeful, and the night had turned off so dead and humid that sleep was in any case a doubtful pos- sibility. She was still sitting in her room at a late hour when she heard the outside door close and Cortlandt's footsteps mounting the stairs. She was glad be had his own room and never entered hers at such an bour, for even to talk with it nt state of mind and body would bave been more than she could ¢ She was unreasonably, annoyed there- fore, when he came boldly into ber without even knocki her late for good night, she said “I've just come from Anthony's sup- per party.” His voice made her look round sharp- ly. She saw that his linen, ordinarily stiff and immaculate, was sodden and crumpled, his collar limp, his forehead glistening with drops of moisture. _ . His wife will tell him.

I brought you something.” He took the loving cup from its lflmmel bag and set it upon the table. “They gave me this. “And this too.” He tossed the watch with its enameled monogram into ber lap. “Ah! That's very handsong.” “Yes. I thought you'd liké it.

This | was not the man she knew. At this moment he was actually insistent, al- | most overbearing, and he was regard- | ing her with that same ironical sneer that had roused her anger earlier in the evening. He began to chuckle, apparently without reason. [is shoulders shook | ’fovhl_\' at first, then more violently. | flis flat chest heaved, and he hiccough- ed as if from physical weakness.

You didn’t say that—before those men! Oh-h!" She shrank back, drawing the | gauzy silk robe closer about her breast. | Then she roused to sudden action.
