All about him In ibe darkness was a confusion of voices --cheerful, dubious, alarmed 'of angry. Now and then a sleeve brushed his or a hand touched him tentatively. It was a strange moment, a moment of possibilities, to which the crunching | wheels, the oaths and laughter from the blocked trafic of the roadway, | made a continuous accompaniment. 3 Keoping well to the left Chilcote still | beat on. There was a persistence in| his movements that almost amounted | to fear--a fear born of solitude filled | For a space | then his fingers touched the cold sur. face of a shuttered shop front and a hin. With renewed haste and clinging | to his landmark as a blind man might, | he started forward with fresh Impetus. For a dozen paces he moved rapidly and unevenly. then the natural result occurred.

"I'm | trying to find Grosvenor square, but the chances scem rather sinall." | The other laughed again. and again Chilcote. He wonder ed uncomfortably if he was becoming But the stranger spoke before the question Lad solved ftself. "I'm afreid they are small," he said. "It would be almost hard to find onc's ' way to the devil on a night like this." | Chilcote made a murmur of amuse- ment and drew back against tbe shop. | "Yes. We can sce now where the blind man scores in the matter of sal- vation. This Is almost a repetition of the fog of six years ago. Were you out in that?" It was a habit of his to jump from one sentence to another, | | | | a habit tbat had grown of late. | "No." The stranger had also groped | his way to the shop front. "No, I was out of England six years ago." "You were lucky." Chlilcote turned up the collar of his coat. "It was ap atrocious fog, ns black as this, but more universal. I remember it well | It was the night Lexington made his great sugar speech. Some of us were found on Lambeth bridge at 3 in the morning, having left the house at 12."

The sugar speech!" he said. "Odd that I should bave been looking it up only yesterday. What a mag- nificent dressing up of a dry subject it was! What a career Lexington prom- ised In those days!" Chilcote changed his position. "You are Interested In the muddle down at Westininster?" he asked sar- castically. "17" It was the turn of the stranger to draw back a step. "Oh, 1 read my newspaper with the other 5,000,000, that is all. .} am an outsider." His voice sonnded curt. The warmth that admiration had brought into it"a mo- ment before had frozen abruptly.

The quis contempt of the tone stung Chilcote. ¥ "Do you fmagine that Lexington made no fight?" he asked frapulsively. "Can't you picture the man's struggle while the vice that had been slave gradually became master?'

"Think of it, in- stead, os a tyrant that tortures the mind if held to and the body If cast off." Urged by the darkness and the silence of his companion, the rein of his speech had loosened. In that mo- ment he was not Chilcote, the member for East Wark, whose moods and si- lences were proverbial, but Chllcote the man whose mind craved. the relief of speech. "You talk as the world talks--out of ignorance and self righteousness," he went on. "Before you condemn Lex- ington you should put yourself in his place" -- "As you do?" the other laughed. Unsuspecting and inoffensive as the | langh was It startled Chilcote. With a sadden alarm he pulled himself up. «17" He tried to echo the 'laugh, but the attempt fell flat.

"But, after all, why should we be so surprised? Nature can't be eter nally original. She must dry up some- times, and when she gets a good model why shouldn't she use it twice?" He drew back, surveying Chilcote whim- sleally. "But, pardon me, you are slii waiting for that light!"
