To his amaze- ‘ ment, he discovers that he has fall- <en overwhelmingly in love with tier himself! And he is married to an American girl with whom he lias nothing in common. Then he discovers that this girl • is not the same Julie Farrow who mined Rodney, but her cousin of the same name.

It' was two o’clock before Giles thought of leaving the flat. “Such a scandal!” lie teased Julie “Neither of us would have a. .shred of reputation left if our best and dearest friends knew how abomin ably we have been behaving.” Julie made a little grimace. “I haven’t any best and dearest friends, except Bim—” she answer ed, and then abruptly: “Giles, what do think of Sadie?” “Sadie—” He was glad that' as her cheek was against his shoulder, she could not see his face. It seemed an ill omen that at this moment she should speak Of his wife. He avoid ed a deliberate answer. “What a question! I hardly know what to say,” he said lightly. “I only asked because she has I toy spoken about you several times, think she rather likes you.” "Nonsense!” 9 His voice sounded almost' angry and Julie looked up at him in sur prise. "Don’t you want her to like yau? She and I are great friends. I pre fer her to any one I have ever met since—” She stopped with a little shrug of her shoulders. "Since you and I met on the top of the world,” Giles added for her. It was nearly three o’clock in the and Lombard isaid calmly: “Five hundred is hot u high price to pay, surely-—I cannot imagine that Schofield would crap at*it in re turn for the favour you recived last niight.” He shrugged his shoulders as he saw the passionate rage in Chittenham’s face. “It was you outside Miss Far- rqw’s flat last night?” ”1 waited three hours—-very pa tiently you will admit.” With an effort Ohittenham con trolled himself. “I give you just five seconds to get out of here,” he said. “Very well. Yo know wliat I in tend to do. I shall tell Schofield what happened in Switzerland and again last night-—” “Tell him, and I’ll break every bone in yor body. Lombard went on evenly, not heeding the violent outburst. j “And I shall tell 'Miss Farrow that the woman she lias been mak ing her friend is your wife.” Chittenhani was white to the lips, but he laughed, “You can save yourself the trouble I have already told her myself.” For a moment the-two men glared at one another, and it took all Chit- tenham’s will-power to maintain his self-control, then Lombard said hoarsely: “I’ll make you before I’ve done!” “Get out, or I’ll for it now.” The door closed For some moments after Lombard had gone, Chittenhani stood staring at the closed door. iHe would see Julie at once and her the whole truth. against him.

Ohittenham glanced over his shoulder, irritatingly conscious of be ing followed. A taxicab on the lookout for .a late fare turned a corner, and Giles hailed it. At all events it would put an end once and for all to his interested follower. As he slammed the door he glanced backwards along the road the way he had come. The man was passing1 'beneath a street lamp, and'in’the sudden light his figure seemed strangely familiar, although for the moment Chitten-, ham could not place the resem blance.

In other words a creditable and prosperous ,looking newspaper may be 'safely taken ‘as an indication of a live and enterprising community.. The reas on is plain. A live town naturally demands a representative newspaper or newspapers, and .there will always be found someone to meet the de mands.
