"And you uphold your sister In re. fusing money tbat you yourself are willing to share." "No. I never said so," "But what? Upon my soul, 1 don't follow you." It was clear that Trafford's courteous self possession was breakingalown. "My Position," Winship said, "needs some explanation." "So it would seem," Trafford assent- ed dryly. "I've tried to make bliss Trafford understand from the first that in mar. ryiug me she would be sharing a poor man's life." "Humph! I doubt if she took that de- tail in," "I think it quite possible.

"And what might that true light be?" "Only that I wish to marry her for herself and for herself alone. If she comes to me it will have to be without —money," Trafford drew his chair closer to tbe buhl table, as though to diminish the distance between them, and fixed on Winship the look before. which all other men bad quailed. Winship, too. drew up his chair and returned the gaze with quiet steadiness. ' "You wish me to understand, 1 pre- sume," Trafford said, speakiug slowly. "that your motives are quite disinter- ested. I'll do you the justice to say that I never questioned therm" • , "I should like you to understand a little' more than that," Winship re- turned. "But, first, may I explain that the present situation is none of my seeking? Had I seen it coming I should have gone out of my way to 'avoid it. There seems to have been no means of doing that. Some fatality or some destiny bas forced it on us ail. If I had been gliven my choice, the last/ woman in the world whom I ' should have wished to marry Would have been a child of yours." • "You're quite right to be frank." Trafford threw in, with a touch of irony. "Thank you, I shall try to be so, May I .go on with my explanation? It wasn't I •who sought Wits Trafford out; neither was it she who sought me She was in:moiled toward me by the knowledge that you had killed my fa- ther, impoverished my mother and blasted my sister's life." A sound came from George lige the low growl of a' dog. Trafford put but his band to repress it." "Let him go on," he muttered. "This is the most remarkable wooing I ever heard of." • • "Yes; it has to he," Winship agreed. "But I want to put thinks in a way which will admit of no future doubt. I want to put them justly too. So when I say that M is Trafford knew these things 1 don't mean that she was able to formulate them to herself as facts. She was only convinced of them In her inner sense of rectitude. Her love andlOyalty remain with you; her verdict and her sympathy have long ago gone out to me and mine. Do I make myself cleat? I repeat thet.if It hadn't been for the situation that you yourself created your daughter and I would probably have •passed each other by as strangers." • "And, since you • haven't done that." Trafford broke in •impatiently, "I'm here to say that I'm 'willing to make the best of It., You've fallen in love with each other. as I understand, and, though I don't look upon it us the most brilliant match my daughter could make, I'm ready to swallow my own disappointment In order that she Should be as happy as possible. I'm ready to make you rich. Pin .ready to make your sister rich. What's the Use of dragging up a• lot of unfortunate rubbish at the very minute when We could put everything right again? If it's folly to kill the goose' that lays the golden eggs, it's surely criminal to strangle the poor dove that conies with the olive branch of peace." , "It isn't the peace I object to. but the terms of the treaty." • "My God; Don't I offer you enough?" "Yes; too much. I ask only for your Jaughter's hand. empty of dower." "Look here! Do you tnean to tell me. that you think of marrying my child ,and sepporting, her out of your miser- able painter's pittance?" "Since you choose to put it so, yes." "Then you're mad. It's out of the question. It's preposterous. She's lived like a princess all her life. She'd spend ,in a day all that you could give her in a year." "I think not. I think she'd be con- tent with what 1 could offer her." "But, for the love Of heaven, why should she? Here's money to squander, money to throw away, money to burn Up." "It's nioney I couldn't touch.
