He was talk- ing to his secretary, young Allen, a cal- low youth, almost effeminate, but nev- ertheless brainy, too brainy, as Hal- bert expressed it. for his size and weight. Allen had got used to these sinister observations concerning wom- ankind and rarely ever offered any comment either to agree or to refute the other’s statements.

In a few moments Allen came in, white, haggard, limp with anxiety, and stood there looking at Haibert with startled pain in his gaze; then, with a sudden, incontrollable impulse, he knelt down beside the divan for a moment and, grasping one of the sufferer’s hands in his own, pressed it to his lips with a sob of distress and pain. Halbert opened his eyes and turned to look at him. He was almost too dumfounded to speak. Allen got up in confusion. and Halbert kept smiling and staring at him in a riot of bewil~ dercd ideas, groping, as he did, in a quee man stru,3 situation that his mind refuses to grasp. “I trust you will pardon my intru- sion," Allen said, standing by a winâ€" dow and “but they told me you had been seri- ously hurt, andâ€"andâ€"it almost broke my heart.” IIalbcrt sat up on the edge of the di- r labyrinth of uncertainties like a rrgling to face some peculiar looking out into the night, drawing his dressing gown (1 him closely; remained there The kiss of the youth I) lie still stared at Al- In God‘s name, don't But I don’t It never occurred Look at me, Al- and turned farther The young face There was a himself. is seamed with pain. “You are a woman," The words ng him. “My (lodi” was all that came from between the parted. eager lips of the “But this costume~â€"why this? don‘t understand." “Because everybody has a prejudice w" \\'hy should I be bound tied like a slave. because of a farms to rent will apply to me I can in all “You should have been a woman, by . , ,, probabilityiurnishthemwithadesirabletenant. pad," Ilalbert said once to him. “A bunny, “”‘1 “mm” stepped toward Tenants wanting to lease farms will find thousand pardons.

He had actually completed plans for both and was sketching out in his imagination the delicious camaraderie of two in a tent in the wilds of Africa when Alllen announced his intention to resign. “You ungrateful beggar, you can‘t re- sign," Ilalbert shouted. “Why, my boy, I can‘t go without you. \Vbat's the matter?” “The fact of the matter is, sir,” Allen replied respectfully, “I don't want to go with you."

He wanted to puzzle out the situation. lie had never to plead with any one before in his life for what he wanted, and he hated to plead now. It might seem unmanly, he feared. He went out without calling to Allen, and he did not return for dinner. The secretary in the meantime felt an unhappy sinking of his heart as the hours dragged by and IInlbert did not return. It was his custom at least to return to dress for the evening, espe- cially if he meant to dine out, and his continued absence made Allen uneasy. He did not know whether Halbert cared about his refusal to accompany him, but he knew that he himself cared. and he felt he could not ac- quaint his friend with the real reason until he had actually gone. what they are looking for by applying direct to me.
