"Iain an aid hand at the game,. Pollard, xnY !bay: Sheran for your money too." 'Brian heaved an impatient sigh "I did not back her for a shilling," he said shortly.' Gladys made a frantic attempt to lead the conversation back to lees contentious ;paths, but Pintlow was persistent. t"You can do these things in Aus- tralia," he said. "The stewards wink at them; but, take my advice, my friend, and don't try the same game here." Brian's face went suddenly white, then red again', and the lines at the corners of Ms eyes went straight, and he looked at his tormentor from, under his bent (brows. "Lord Pinlow," he said, "I could' go, hack to-Aarstea]ia ' to -;morrow and walk on to,, airy course and be wel- mom,ed. Not every man who has stood on the members' stand at Fleming- ton could say the same." His straight glance was a chal- lenge which Lord Pinilow did not ac- cept, Instead, -he laughed, and re- filled, his glass. "Ah, well," he said, "it is a cur- ious world." • 'With which indefinite observation he contented himself for the time- be- ing. Brian turned and met the troubled eyes of the girl, at his side with a smile. "In forbidden territory," he ex- cused himself; "but it really wasn't my fault. Anyway, let us to our muttons." But Pinlow had not' finished. He chose the moment to discuss,with Mr. •Callander the evils of raing. Scraps of the conversation floated down to the nervous girl who strove a little incoherently to...lprevent the conversation .flagging. "No honest man can make racing pay," drawled the insistent voice. ` . fools make money by sheer uek, rogues by sheer swindling --in a country where stewards can be got at, of course it is easy to avoid ex- rosure ." 'Mr. Callander twisted uncorefort� afbly in hits chair. It did not lessen his discomfiture to "realize that all Lord Pinlow said, he would wt an- o't'her time, and under happier cir- 'ueestances, have most heartily en - lamed. Dinner was through none too soon and with visible relief Mr. Callander aught the eye of his daughter and rose. Gladys had no time to do any- hing else than award the young; mess at her side the briefest of s nrlpa- h.eti'e smiles, then she escaped to the drawing -room. "We will have our coffee in the bill- iard -room," said Mr. Callander, and n twos' and threes the party strolled ft' to that haven. Pinlow carne in with his heat, ja.st of. all. "I'd like you to he a little more gentle with My nephew, Pinlow," aid Mr. Callander pleadingly. "Af- ar all, you know, he is my relative, and though I abcio.minate his-er- 'ccentricity, I've got to -you under- , tend." "Oh, he won't hurt," said the other' vith a laue'h. "I've get quite an ac- -ount to settle with that you.n;g gen- ienm'n.".

"Not exactly," said Pinlow, knock - ng the a4,41 oft' his cigar. "If by 'n'et exactly' you mean that you race under an assumed name," said Brian, "I take yeti." "My- assumed name, as you -call it," retorted his lordship, growrints -ed, "is registered and it is quite per- missible." - "Quite," said the other. He had turned' to the table and was playing losing hazards off the red. "I heai-cl you saying something a- bout venal stewards to my uncle." Brian putsd•own his cue to face Lord Pillory. "Did you tell him that l am steward of a Little meeting out- side Sydney?" "I gave him no information aho'ut you that all the world doesn't know," snarled the other. "Did you tell him that, as stewar'ci. I had 'you before me for pulling a horse; and that, because you were a visitor'an•ci we didn't want a scandal, we did not warn you off." "You're a liar!'' said Pinlow hoarsely. Brian laughed, and then suddenly: "We will adjourn this discussion till another day„" he said, for the billiard -room door had opened to ad. mit Gladys. But I'inlow in his rage was in no mood for adjournment. "I was exonerated," he cried, strik- ing the edge of the tahle; "d'ye hear? You hadn't that much evidence a- gainst me." Brian shrugged his shoulders. "We warned off the ,jockey on the sane evidence which exonerated you," he said. "Sto'p!" It was Mr. 'Callender. He had been an agitated spectator of the Gcene 'between the two men. Nnw, as a cumulative sense of outrage grew• on him, his indignation got the bet- ter of his nerwouwnes,s. It was men- 'strous! Here, in his house, was a gran, forbidden to erase his thresh•old -a horse -racing, probably a card- sharping rascal, a -tea. --- "You have gone toe- far, Mr. Pal - lard," he said, his voice trembling. "You have broken your word; yon promised net to speak of horse -rac- ing under my roof------" "Father!" Gladys, aghast at the injustice of the reproof, interrupted him. "Gladys will keep quiet," said Mr. •Callander, now worked to a white heat of wrath, "-or she will leave the room,." He turned to Brian: "Hav- ing made this promise, sir, you pick a quarrrel over a vulgar horse -race BY EDGAR WALLACE "Charmed to mit you --the Ore- s!lhan Art 'Glob, of copse," said Brian Pallar+d. "Let me see, you became president last year, didn't you, after Tyler?" Mr. Will'ock, who was not so fierce as he, looked; was visibly gratified. "A very interesting dub,' said Brian admiringly; "one of the most progrests;ive of the art clubs, if I may be allowed to say so"--1Gir.

Its work in connection with the pu - ehas,e of the .Mosby Valas'quez will, I think, be remembered for stale time." "Really," murmured Horace in his sister's ear, "this cthap is a great deal smarter than we gave him credit for. Really " She 'made no reply. Her cousin's easy progress was fascinating. Nor was Horace the only one affected by this presentable young man. Mr. Cal- lander senior fomes his feeling un- dergoing revolution. From the chaos of mind induced by the sudden ap- parition of the Banned Relatives there was emerging a certain irrit- able approval. For, villain as the man was (he told himself), he at least, had a ,tmind capable of appreci- ating Horace and his work. There was, perhaps, thought 'Mr. Caliander something in him. "11,'m, Brian," he said mildly, "we are, of .course -es -glad to see you, though you will .understand,. of course, that-er, OUT ways are not exactly -in fact --,nor your ways."

"Oh, indeed, yes," said the cheer- ful Brian. "I thought of staying a few days." "Oh, yes," said Mr. Callander weak- ly. • Tlie party made a move inside to dress, and Gladys, who had been a silent listener to her eloquent cousin found herself walking in the rear' with him Whilst he expatiated on tine brilliancy of the pre-Raphaelite School. "They give us form," he was say- ing, with his curious intensity; "they give us thought it isn't only the col- or. Excuse 'ne." He sneezed viol- ently, and in grabbing a handker- chief from his pocket, he pulled out two little books. Before he realized it she had stoop- ed and picked them. up. She glanced at the titles, and a smile struggled" for expression at the corners of her .mouth. 'Ile took the books from her hand and hastily pocketed them. "Then again," he went on, "look at ,the spirituality of .Wates----" "Humbug!t' she saki in a low voice. "Eh?" "Blatant 'hypocrite and humbug," she said. Ile stopped. "May I ask why you thus upbraid me?" he demanded sternly, , "You come here talking like Christy's catalogue," she said, "wit a Directory of British Art Schools in one pocket and a little handbook on the pre-Raphaelite painters in the other." "Why not?" he asked, unashaaned. "Until this morning you never heard oef the pre-Raphaelites, and were ignorant of the existence of the Gresham 'Art School. You swotted there up in the train." He met the accutsation without flinehing. �nn "Perhaps you're right," • l e said, "though you are wrong to say I know nothing of the pre-Raphaelites. I once had a horse called Dan Ros- setti -he was by Raphaelite, from the dam of St. Artiet,, and she was by a son of Toxophilite out of Queen Nudge by Birdcatcher--" "You came here deliberately in- tending to get into father's goods graces--" "You are wrong," he said quietly. "Whether •I atm in your father's good books or not is a matter which does not concern me. After his •rudeness to mry Irish valet this morning -a man Who hae &wended -from the kings of Ireland -I nearly let your father slide." "Then why did you come?" she challenged. "It is a ease af pelf -discipline," he replied. "I was determined that I should like your father. I did not care whether I was in his good hooks I Was determined that he should be in mine." "1 think you are very horrid," ehe "Moreover," he continued, "I am a ,rich man. I must have an heir iVfy solicitor cha,p told me the other day that I ought to snake a will. Now I am very keen on malaing' a will; it is one of the joys of life that has never ,heen min,e. But how can, I make a will until I see Who ia w.cnthy of iniheriting my fortune?" -She made no answer. They were in the big hall by now, alone, for the rest of the party had gone to their several room•s. "And I have decided," he said. Sihe pushed a .bell by the side of the big operv fire.place. "I am glad to hear it," she said. "I shall leave everything to 'you," he said 4eliberately. "Don't you dare!" ehe said with some iviolence. "When the mourners have return- ed," he went on sadly, "and they are sitting round the darkened rerera drinking my port and eating My bis- cuits, the lawyer will read the .one simple,. but touching clause; 'To my beloved causins Gladys Mary '" "My mime isn't Mary."

'His lordship was a big seeing man, broad -shouldered and stout, and from the crown of his well -brushed head to the tip of his patent -leather shoes he seas a picture of a perfertly dress- ed men -about -town. Lord Pinlow's career had been a varied one. Start- ing life with an estate mortgaged to its utmost capacity, he had, by sheer perseverance and a magnetic person- ality, more than doubled its indebted- ness.
