"It was all to save him--because of you. Ever since I haven't been able | to, rest." "And that story about the books he came back to fetch?" "1 made it up. I put the books there myself.

"Oh, but 1 didn't realfe¢y 1 didnt important they were! didn't think ft even extraordinary that he should have opened the safe. I didn't know what the papers were." He had resumed his walk. For an instant an expression of intense agl- tation had convulspgd his face. It had almost seemed as if he would col he had { lapse. Out of his chalk-white face his eyes had stared like those of a man who hears sentence of death pro nounced on him. Theodora made use of the time to rpview the situation from her own point of view. She was growing ter-+ ribly frightened. It seemed quite dif- ferent now from what she had imagin- ed, when Lorion had walked out of the house, having announced his in- tention of telling Glare the whole truth. . Then she had been seized with | panic. She had only thought of one | thing--to prevent her husband from | hearing 'the truth. There was only | oné way of preventing that, and that was by forestalling Lorion and telling her story first. This she had done, and now she | was terrified, for Glare believed her | implicitly. He would punish the! traitor. He would tax him with his treachery; he would prosecute him. | And what would happen then? Lorion | was innocent. He would uot hesitate | to say so--to preve it. | Of course, Lorlon would be able to | prove his innocence. Anyhow, he | would tell the true story of that night. | It was not likely that he would allow] himself to be branded a traitor and a! thiet for theé™Bake of a woman who | was nothing on earth to him. No, the | truth would come out, and she would | stand discredited, branded a liar, a! mean thing, who liad tried to shelter | herself behind one of her husband's | servants. | ' Her surprise and relief could ndt be | described in words when Monk stop- | ped his pacing of 'the room and came and stood quite close to her, and look- | ed up into her face with his usual | calm, direct gaze, and said: "Theodora, I am glad you have told me this. I can't:tell you how glad I am. And now I'want you to promise me that you' will forget all about it." "Forget!" She echoed the word in amazement. "Yes," he said distinctly and authori- | tatively. "I have réasons. I cannot explain them to you, my darling. But; I don't want this to go any further." "You are not' going to prosecute him?" Her voice shook. : "For the present--no." | She heaved a sigh of intense relief. "You are not going to tax him with ft?" ! "We shall understand each other" her husband retorted somewhat grim- ly. "But 1 don't want you fo think any more about it. There are ways of bringing a crime home 'to a man outside the Law Courts," he added. | { { "You understand. I have good reasons, Theodora. You are not to alter your behavior towards Lorion in any re spect. You are not to be astonished if 1 don't alter mine. Do you under- stand? "Of course' I understand!" she zasped. "That Is, I hear your words, Glare." "That's all that's necessary, dear est." he sald She was so relieved by the turm affairs had taken that she hardly | realized the peculiar nature of his | conduct when he came back and said to her very taphatieall before he went down to Own room : .

L { he sald with a certain lady. : CHAPTER V, His Master's Pleasure Lorion, after his interview with Lady Monk, boarded a car and went straight back to the Pole Street of- fices. He took no heed of the varied and kaleidoscopic scene that unfolded itself before "eyes as the monster tramcar glided swiftly through the suburbs and into the heart of the city. Here high golid buildings rear- ed themselves; here the drama of commerce was enacted every day for | the benefit of those who hurried in| and out. : 'When Lorion had made his way to Monk's room, he was told by the clerk in the outer office that the chief had already left. "The governor went back," the clerk informed him, "after an urgent mes- sage from her ladyship." Lorfon went to his own room. A cold douche had been applied to his arger." His chief was not here; he could not make his confession of negligence and folly. He wondered whether Lady Monk's summons to her husband could have anything to do! with his recent visit. Was she going to, confess to him? Was she going to take the wind out of his sails by telling him the truth herself before = he had had time to do so? Remembering her attitude, he de cid at that was not Hkely. He went back to his rooms in Cam- den Street at the usual time. The mere he thought about Lady Monk, the ore the memory of her manner ag- vated iim. To have been present | e a woman rified her husband's private safe, with a key stolen from him, and then, when he demanded an | explanation, to be told that it was a woman's whim! It was monstrous.

It was more than flesh and blood could stand. The next morning he arrived ¢* the office at the usual hour, just after dine o'clock. The big limousine at | the door told him that Mork had | already arrived. When he reached his own room, he rang through at once to know when the chief could see him. As a rule he waited Wis employer's summons; but this morning ke was too impatient. The clerk answered that Monk was ready for him at once. he began abruptly. fesslon to make. table, grasping it in a tight grip. his astonishment, before he could pro- ceed any further, he felt Monk's hand KIDNEYS all parts of the world we receive words of for Gin Pills for troubles.
