But those were the days of their early married life --days beforef the great Barham Case in which he had'suddenly made his name and laid the foundation of his great fortune.; Up to that time he had merely been' an energetic junior who was regarded as likely to do something great some day. He had been earning a steady three thousand a year. Now he could earn ten times that amount if he worked hard enough. But his small' grey eyes were tired • in the early' morning, and his massive face, which would have been ugly if it had not been for the strength of it, was heavy and solemn. He liked to eat his breakfast in silence, or what he called silence. This meant that he was to speak when he wanted to, and that Ruth, his wife, was to answer him. But there was to be no chattering on her part—about trivial matters. It was queer that Ruth was not in the least afraid of him in those days. She was conscious of her own recti- tude, of the five years in which she had been a very good wife. She had sold herself to him There we no getting over that She had married a man whom she had not loved. At the time of the marriage there had seemed nothing horrible about that. She had not been in love with any one else; she had been very poor, and she had had ambitious. Alexander Bradney, a rising barrister, had fallen violently in love with her. She had liked kern— had admired his strength of purpose and his honest straightforward char- acter. She had not been in love with him, but she had told herself that in time she would be in love with him. curiously expressive grey eyes. "Well?" queried Ruth. "It's a daub," he said.

On the way to his: chambers in his cair he would sonie-i times read the Law Reports, but more, often be would keep his mind fixed; on the work of the day. A successful man, Sir Alexander Bradney--euccessful in a profession where it is hard for a man to earn his living until he has labored :for many, yeers—a profession wherein success itself means redoubled toil—a life al- most of slavery. Alexander Bradney, used to say that he worked even in his sleep. A man often looks his best at the brealdast table. There is a freshness Omit him—a clean smartness that wears off later on in the day. But Sir Alexander was not one of those men. He certainly looked healthy enough, and there was no fault to be found with his clothes, but there was little life in him. Ruth Bradney, sitting opposite to him at the table on this december morning, remembered the days— gcarcely four years ago—when he had Sh a Polishes That was how, as a girl of twenty, she had looked at the marriage five reassemeaessessameamaszesismeassmsasso 'years ago.

"It is the face of a woman who is thinking of love," she said to herself, "of a woman—who is—in love." She was face to face with the truth at last. She was in love with John Merrington.
