As a matter of fact. he had really meant nothing more than the threat and the insult. the situation permitting him a heayier hold upon his wife and a new grip on Gerald in case he ever needed him, but threat and insult were very real to the boy, and he knocked Mr. Buthven flat on his back. the one thing required to change that gentle- man's pretme to deadly earnest.

Meanwhile Nvergard had almost fin- ished with Gerald. He had only one further use for him, and as his social success became more pronounced with the people he had crowded in among he became bolder and more tnsolent, no longer at pains to mole tunnel toward the object desired. no longer over-care- rul about his mask. And one day he asked the boy very plnlnly why he had never lnvlted mm to meet hla ulster. And he got an answer that he never forgot. Then Neergnrd began to use Ruthven when he nvefivd him. and he began to permit himself to win at cards in Ruth- ven‘s house, a thing he had not dared to do before. He also permitted him- self more ease and freedom in that house. a sort of intimacy. even a cer- tain jocnlcz my Rage made him 111 for a week. but there was naming to do about it.

L Several things had gone against Mr. Ruthven recently. For one thing, he was beginning to realize that he had made a vast mistake in mixing himself up in any transactions with Neergard.
