Mon- days, Wednesdays,: and Fridays,fenoed on Tuesday and Thursdaymornings, and played auction bridge during those after- moons at his dub. On Saturdays he took a Holiday. After about a month, how- eper, ho became conscious of a distinot slackening of ,interest in thee° pursuits.. His late plunge into the more adventur- ous life had unsettled him. He began to hang about the police comets, to scrape acquaintance with the smaller fry among the doteotivos. He developed theories of his own about crimiuology. He visited prisons and talked with euspeeted men. He became a voluminous reader of a cer- tain type of literature. He even haunted the neighborhood in which famous grimes had been oommitted. He •began; also, about the same time to ]taunt Grace Bur- ton's looms, but on the third occasion of his presenting himself there .uninvited, she spoke to him very firmly and very plainly. - "I have no work to suggest•to You just now, Mr. Pryde, I am engaged myself on a purely feminine and unimportant in- vestigation.- When anything turns up, X shall send for you at once." "But I am bored to death," Pryde pro- tested. "I am oleic of golf and cricket and bridge. I can't settle down to anything." !'That," she answered composedly, is without doubt the price which you must pay for having led an idle life." "Come and dine with me somewhere this evening and do a theatre," he begged. Sho looked at him withthe faintest pos etble uplifting of her smooth young fore- head.

He had barely issued from the doorway of the building in which he and Grace Burton both lived, before he was eoneeious that the street was in some sort of commotion. From out of sight around thecorner of New Oxford Street he could hear the blow- ing of whistles, a hoarse tumult of voices. Along the main thoroughfare 'traffic had stopped. Everyone seemed to have come to a standstill in their places, watching. A taxi -cab -driver had sprung from his cab and was running forwardas though to intercept some 0110.
