She mo-

to athut out e+amethdng disagreeable.
"I don't care," she muttered. "You
see how low I have fallen—I'll bear
even that. Come," she added, spring-
ing up, "my vaunt goes to bed before
eleven. You can drive me down there,
if you like. Are you going to kiss
me?"
He bent over her a Tittle gravely
and his lips touched her forehead.
She caught his face suddenly between
her hands:ard kissed him on the lips.
Then she turned tOWTniti the door.

I haven't enjoyed the Inst six years.

'thinks he hes done his duty if hg

him, only she is wrapped up in mis-
sions instead of science. Neither of
them seetns to have time to be

"It must have been rotten for you."
Granet said kindly.
Her hand clutched his, she tame a
little nearer.
"Year after year of it," she mur-
mured. "If I had been good-looking,
S should have run away and gone on
the stage. If I 'had been clever, I
should have left home and done some-
thing,. But I am like millions of others;
I am neither. I had to set and wait.
When I met you, I suddenly began to
realize what it would be like to care
for some one. f knew it wasn't any

A trim parlormaid came out and, after
a few words of explanation, superin-
tended the elispoeal of her luggage in
the hail. Then the taxioab man re-
turned,
"Back to Sackville Street," Granet
muttered.
CHAPTER XXX.
Granet, on his return to Sar,kviIle
Street, paid the taxicab driver,
ascended the stairs and let himself
into his rooms with very muoh the
air of a man who has passed through
a dream. A single glance around,
however, brought him vivid realize,

Presently Harrison returned with the
whiskey and coda. Sir Alfred bended
bin a nate,
"To be Brent oto -right, Harrison" he
dirreted; "no mower."
Tho reran, withdrew, easing the door
behind hire. Sir Alfred listened to
hie footsteps.: acres; the hall, Then
he rose from his•tibtee and turned on
tete whole of the illumination of the
race. The s)uad'ows of the dark spares
were suddenly illerninated, every
corner of the stately apartment was
distinctly visible, Sir Alfred, with his
hands inbis, pookots, ranted,•slowiy

fly tihaded,one over bis desk, and
motioned hie nephew to ;raw his .easy-
4'hair up: to the side.
"Well, Bonnie, he zeal, "I sup-
pose yon are wondering why I have
sent for you at this hour of the
night?",
I am," 'Granet,admitted frankly,
"Ie there any news? --anything be-
hind the news, perhaps ): elhould say?"
"What there is, is of no aecount,"
Sir Alfred replied. "We are going to

little plate of sandwiches, half finish-
ed, the partly emptied bottle of wine,
were still there. One of ber gloves
lay in the corner of the easy -chair.
Ile picked it up, drew it for a moment
through his fingers, then crushed it
into a ball and flung it into the fire.
Jarvis who had heard Vein enter,
came from one of the back rooms.
"Clear these things away, Jarvis,"
his nrastez ordered, `Leave the whis-
keyand soda and tobacco on the
table. I m a e late.
n
Y b
Jarvis silently obeyed. As seen as
he was alone, Granet threw himself
into the easy --chair. He was filled with
a bitter sense of being entrapped. He
! a l been a little rash et Market Burn-
ham, perhaps, but if any other man
except Thomson had been sent there,
his explanations would bave been ac-
cepted
scepted without a word, and all this
miserable complication would have
been avoided. Be thought over Ise-
bel'a taming, all that she had said.
She hid left him no loophole. She
had the air of a young woman who
knew her own tried excellently well.
A single word from her to Thomson
and the whole superstructure of his
ingeniously hunt -up life might tumble
to pieces. Ile sat with folded arms in
a grim attitude of unrest, thinning,
bitter thoughts. They rolled into his
brain like black shadows. He had
been honest in the first instance, With
sn^esters from both countries, he had;
deliberately chosen the country to
witlrh he felt the greatest attachment.
He remembered his long travels in
Germany, he remembered on his re-
turn his growing disapproval of Eng-
lish slackness, her physical and moral
decadence. Icer faults had inspired
him not with the sorrow of one of her
real sons. but with the contempt of
one only half bound to her by natural
lies. The ground had been laid ready
for the poison. He had started bon-
estly enough. His philosophy had
satisfied himself, He had felt no
moral degradation in wearing the uni-
form of one country for the benefit
of another. All this self -disgust he
dated from the coming of Geraldine
Conyers. Now he was weary of it
all, face to face, too, with a disagree-
able and insistent problem.
He started suddenly in his chair.
An interruption ordinary enough, but
never without a certain startling ef-
fect, had broken in upon his thoughts.
The telephone on his table was ring-
ing insistently, He rose to his feet
end glanced at the clock as the crossei
the room. It was five minutes past
twelve. As he took up bhe receiver
a familiar voice greeted him,
"Is that Ronnie? Yes, this is Lady
Anselnlan. Your uncle told me to ring
you up to see if you were in. He wants
you to come round."
"Whet, to -night?"
"Do come, Ronnie," his aunt con-
tinued. "I don't suppose it's anything
important but your uncle seems to
want it, No, I shan't see you. I'm
just going to bed. I have been play-
ing bridge. I'm sure the duchess
cheats ---I have never won at her house
in my life. r'li tell your uncle you'Il
come, then, Ronnie... , Good night!"
Granet laid down the receiver.
Somehow or other, the idea of action,
even at that hour of the night, was a
relief to him. Ile called to Jarvis and
gave him a few orders, Afterwards
he turned out end walked through the
streets—curiously lit and busy, it
seemed• to him—to the corner of Park
Lane, w+hieh had beicnged to the
Ansetattans for two generations,
There were few lights in the windows.
He was admitted at once and passed
on to his uncle's ewn servant.
"Sir Alfred is in the study, sir," the
latter announced, "if you will kindly
come Ibis way."
Granet crossed the circular hall
hung wilt wonderful tapestry, and
passed through the sumptuously -fur-
nished library into the smiler husi-
nee,s man's etudy in which Sir Alfred
spent much of his time. There were
telephones upon his desk, a tape mat
chine, and a private instrument con-
nected with the telegraph department.
There was a desk for his secretary,
now vacant, and beyond, in the shn-
dowe of the apartment winged book-
cases which held a collection of edi-
tions de luxe, first editions, and a
great collection of German and Rue-
sian literature, admittedly unique, Sir
Alfred was slitting at his desk, writ-
ing a letter. He greeted his nephew
witli hie usual cheerful nod,
"Wait before you go, Harrison," ha
saki to hie' valet. "Wilyou take any-
thing, Ronald ? There are cigars end
cigarettes here tut nothing to drink.
Harrison, you can pub the whiskey
awl soda on the side/ anyhow, then
you an wait for ane' 10 my room. I
satin not require any other service
to -right.. Some one niueit stay to let
Captain Granet out. You under -
Aland ?"
"Perfectly, sir; the men replied.
"If ,You don't mtn1, Rennie, r will
finish this letter while he brings' the
whiskey end soda, lair Alfred sold.
"There is some trouble?" Granet
asked gulekly,—"some suspielon`2"
"None whatever," Sir Alfred re-
peated firmly."My position was never
more secure then it is at this second,
I.am•tam trusted confidant of -the Cab-
inet, I have dose,not only apparent-
ly, but actually, very intpo;.-tant work.
for them. Financially, too, my in-
fluence as well as my resources have
been of vast assistance to this coun-
try.'
Garnet nodled and waited, kmew
enongh of his uncle tobe aware that
he would develop hie statements in
his wen way.
"When all bas gone well," Sir Al-
fred continued, "when all seems abso-
lutely peaceful acid safe, it is some-
times the time to pause and consider.
We are at that spot at the present
moment. You 'rave been lucky, in
•
fighting for England., you have man-
aged to penetrate the German lines
and re'eeivo from them communtea-
tions of the greatest importance,
'Sime your return home you have been
of use in various ways. This last bus-
iness in Norfolk will not he forgotten.
Then take my case. What Germany
knows of our financial position, our
strength and our weakness, is due to
me. That Germany is at the present
time holding forty millions of money
belonging to the city of London, is
alert owbee to me. In a dozen ether
ways my nniluence has been felt. As
I told you before, we have froth, in
our way, been successful, but we have
reached the absolute limit of our ef-
fectiveness."
What does that mean?" Granet
asked.
"It means this" Sir Alfred ex-
plained. "When this war was started,
I, with every fact and circumstance
before me, with more information,
perhaps, than any other man breath-
ing, prodsdted peace within three
months. I was wrongs. Germany to-
day is great and unconquered, but
Germany has lost her opportunity:
This may 'be a war of attrition, or
even now bhe unexpected may come,
but to all effects and purposes 'Ger-
many is beaten."
"Do you mean this?" Granet ex-
claimed . incredulously.
".Absolutely," his uncle assured him.
"Remember that I know more than
you do. There is a new and imminent
danger facing the dual alliance. What
it is you will learn aoon enough. The
war may drag on for many months
but the chancery of the great German
triumph we have dreamed of, have
passed. They know it es well as we
do. I have seen the writing on the
wall for months. Today I have con-
cluded all my arrangements. I have
broken off all negotiations With Ber-
lin. They recognize the authority and
they absolve rte. They ::now that it
will be well to have a friend here
when the time comes for drawing up
the pact."
Granet gripped the sides of his
chair with his hand. It seemed to
him impossible that with these few
commonplace wends the fate of all
Europe was being pronounced,

There is no mora intereating ttudy

Prior to the Norman conquest of
England eueh 0111180mi surnaxnea were
unknown, The country ;was very
sparsely populated, oo;tbat the tingle
Christian name usually eufileed to die,
tinguisb a man from his fellows.
When the Normans cams they
brought very few Christian names
with them; the majority here Henrys,
Johns, Williams, or. Richards. So it
became necessary to have some: meant
of distinguishing between them.
A pustlal solution of the dilflculty
was found byordainlug that landown•
era should add the name of their es.
Yates to their first names. Thue we
had Henry of Winchester,. Henry o1
Durham, Henry of Peterborough, and
"00.
Jackson Was Jack's: Son.
At that time men' were itnown also
by their trades or callings, and as son
usually succeeded father in busluess.
a great glass of what .we may call
> t
trade .nantes:soou sprang up. There
were
possibly
several Johns 1n
a vil-
lage, but as their, occupation varied,
one was called John the Tailor, an•
other John the Fisher, and a third
Johef the Tanner.
When the original Johns died their
sons, who might be Henry, James, and
Robert, took on their businesses, and
succeeded to' their descriptive) trade
names. To this class of surnames be.
long Snaith, Fletcher (which means
"arrow•maker"), Dutcher, Weaver, Col-
lier, Winter (which is Vintner, or wine
merchant), Leath (doctor or "vet").
Clark, Painter, Butler, and a host of
others.
The develohlultnt of surnames went
on also in ether di -8ilnns. Three
Johns, for examplo, neigitt be lis-
litgtlishrd um L by t (miles but by the
Christlau t ;oat ,,t , o t f.tthers. The
first might bis 3thn 11 bll's eon, the
next John John's tun, and the third
John Herbert's se:n lu tails -way the
multitude of toil urt:el,tes came be
to being J"ckaon, Peterson, Janie•
;tan, and tine like.
Again. instead of railing a man
Henry'P.o,er's son, he might be known
simply as Roger's Henry, or henry
Rogers. 'I'lius Gilbertson, Gilberts,
Gibson, and G4bhs are really all the
same name, Gib being the diminutive
or affectionate form of Gilbert.
Known by Their Nicknames,
The next stop was to distinguish men
by means of nicknames referring to
