Without | waiting to knock, as he had feit com- | pelled to dy om the one or two previous occasions tbat business had brought him there, Le Immediately turned the handle and entered the roorn. | Editors* officers differ but little {no general effect.

He waved his hand to tho poster of the first edition that hung before his desk. Loder, following hits glance, smiled. "1 think," he we can't overesti- Lakeley laughed again. "They might huve known it all along If they'd cared to deduce," he sald. "Did they really believe that Russia was going to sit cally looking across the Herl-RRud while the shal played at mobilizing? But what became of you last night? We had a regular prophesying of the whole business at Bramfell's; the great Fraide looked in for five minutes. 1 went on with him to the club after- ward atid was there when the news came in.

'Irs golug to ba golid earnest!" He spoke rapidly and with rather more than his usual ehrewd decisiveness; then he paused to sce the effect of his announcement.

"Do you mind telling me what you're driving at?' he asked th his old, la- conic voice. Lakeley still sérutinised him with an | alr of brisk satisfaction; then with a | gesture of finality be tossed his cigar away.

In a [moment the utironlity of the past monthd had become real; a tangible justification of himself and Lis Imposture was suddenly made pos- sible. In the stress of understanding | he, too, leaned forward, and, resting | his elbows on the desk, took bis fact between his bands For a space Lakeley mads Ho remarlk. | To him man aod wan's moods camd secend In Interest to his paper and his | party politics.

At sound of his volce Loder lifted bls face. It was quite pale again, but the energy and resolution that had come fnto it when Lakeley first spoke were still to be seen. "No, Lakeley," he dd} very slowly, "It's not the sort of moment in ok a man doubts himself." CHAPTER XIX. ND so It came to pass that Loder was freed from one responsi- bility to undertake another. From the morning of March 27, f Roe he found hiroself d central | figs ure in the whirlpool of activity that | formed Itself fn Conservative circles. With the ncumen for which he was, hoted, Lakeley had touched tho keystone of the situation on that morning, end | succeeding events, each fraught with | | more than underttand!" Without annogncement mcr. Lakeley entered the room. His face was brimming with-excite- ment, and bis eyes flashed. In the: first haste of the entry he failRd to see, that there were ladies in the roost Aud! crossing Instantly to Fraide, laid ad open telegram before him. "This ls| official, eir," be sald. Then at Last he' glapced round the table. EB "Lady Barah!"' Lo exclahmed "Gani you forgive me? But I'd have given! a hundred pounds to be the first with' this!" He glanced back at Fralde. i Lady Sargh rose and stretched out] ber hand. "Mr. Lakeley," she sald, "I, There was af | thrill lo ber wavin, cordial volee, and her eyes also turned toward her hus- band. : | Of the whole party Fralde glone was! perfectly calm. He sat very still, his | small, thin figure erect and dlgnified,| ns his eyes scanned the message that] meant so much. t Wve, who had sprung from hef seat and passed round the table at sound of: Lakeley's news, was leaning over his shoulder reading the telegram with kim. Af the last word she lifted her head, her face flushed with excitement} "How eplendid It must be to be al man!" she ex¢laimed, and = without, premeditation ber éyes and Loder's| met. In this manner cage the news trout Persin and with It Loder's definite; call. In the momentary stress of ag- tion it was Impossible that any thought of Chllcote could obtrude itself. Even bad followed each other too rapidly, @ectsive getlion had been too mi thrust upon him, to allow of hesi tion, and tt was In this spirit, undes this vigorous pressure, that he made his attack upon the government on thet day that followed Iralde's luncheon! party.

Betting the thought of | Chilcote aside, ignoring his own posi- tion and the risks he dally ran, he had fully yielded to the glamour of the mo ment and in the first freedom of © loose rein be had given unreservedly | all that he possessed of activity, capac ity and determinatiofr to the cause tbat bad claimed him. Singularly privileged in ao constant personal contact with Fraide, he learn¢ ed many valuable lessons of tact and organization in those five vital days during which the tactics of a whole party hung upon one ttem of news from | a country thousands of miles away. | For should Russia subdue the insur: | gont Hazaras and, laden with the hom: | ors of the peacemaker, retire across | the frontier, then the political rend would remain undisturbed; but should the all important movement predicted | fore parliament rose for the Baster re- | cess, then the first blow in the fight | that would rage during the succeeding session must Inevitably be struck In| the meantime it was Frajde's dtfBcult | 2 position to wait and watch and yot pre: | serve his dignity. It was early in the afternoon of | March 29 that Loder, in response to & | long standing invitation, lupched quiet- | ly with the Fraldes. Being delayed by | some communications fro Wark, be was a few minutes late = keepiug his appo eB already a rah--and Eve.

It was then, amid a stir of Interest, | tbat Loder slowly rose.
