The old lawyer swungbusy,: good -day!" • • Mal* atom', a element tenger, leek-, iPg down at, ID.EL He saw the little Man's hand shake as he grasped his pen and pretended. to write. Mark knew he was afraid of the ex -convict; he threw back his ,head and laughed I again, his laugh startling Fosdick as - much as a blow; it was so hearty, "so carefree, a boy's laugh. "You seem to find it amusing, sir,' •ho.said tartly. "I do!" Mark turned, Picked up his hat, a new one, the warden had fa- ted him out, and went to the door. "Good -day, Mr. Fosdick," he said, still smiling, and went out. But the regular life' that he had led made him fall hungry at regular intervals, by the clock; he had been hungry now for hours. The sensa- tion was new and not without zest; it was -part of his freeciOna, He thread- ed his way through the crowded streets with the awkward feeling of a recluse suddenly thrust out into the world. But the sights and sounds had an intoxicating effect; he felt like a man let loose into mad indulg- ence. He had tramped miles; he was up- town before that insistent, by -the - clock hunger began to clamor again. He smiled to himself; eighty cents would not go far to appease it here. But there must be a cafe or a tea:- ropm Where he could get a cup of cof- fee and a roll, �r tea and a muffin. He rememlbered, in dim perspective, that muffins were heavy and "filling." He had turned' the cornerinto one of the more sedate streets and was passing the entrance of a fashionable clubhouse -the name was"an the door over a brass knocker -when two young men suddenly emerged. Their exit was so abrupt that they nearly collided with Mark, and they both stopped short, staring at him with the eagerness of men seeking a long lost acquaintance. "Stewed!" 'Mark thought,, and pur- sued his way, looking for a restaur- ant. He found one at the other end of the street, with a teapot on the swing- ing sign. It was down a few steps be- low the sidewalk, and, as he descend- ed, he was surprised to find the two young clubmen at his heels. It annoyz edshim;'' as it coeld, not annoy. another' man; it recalled the unforgotten day's, before his arrest, when he was "sha- dowtd." He took a seat near the door and ordered his tgt elan muffins. The heavy things would at least as - Badge his hunger. But he felt resent- ment when he found the two young men had seized upon the table next to his and, without much pretense of eating, themselves, were unquestion- ably watching him drink his tea and seat his muffin. • They were both young, one big, about his own build, the other small and fat with red cheeks, and they were -both fashionably and expensive- ly dressed; they had the air of idle wealth. They were evidently disput- ting something 'between themselvee, and Mark got the impression that he around 'in his switre1-elsa4ssand looked the young Man up and down with an eye as cold as a lizard's. Mark laughed. Liberty was send- ing golden bubbles through his vedns; it was easy to laugh. "I behaved well, Mr. Foselick,'"-Mark said, his tone defying criticism, 'ehal lenging; "they let me out a' few months ahead of time." "Humph!" Fosdick grunted as he stretched out his big -veined hand to take a -cigar and clip the end off: "I've no use for new,fangled, notions in prisons," he remarked dryly; "hot air, that's all; a man should serve his time." Mark's blue eyes mocked, but he kept hiS .face. Fosdick had not offer- ed him a cigar, nevertheless, he found a cigarette in his own packet and lit it coolly. "You've never been in prison, Mr. Fosdick," he sal& "When you've tried it you'll Abe quite favorable to new-fangled notions. I've had fifteen years' experience.' 1 know!" - Fosdick's gray face twisted, into a grim smile. "I don't think I'll try it -not in your way. Let me see; how old were you when you went up?' "Seventeen." "Seventeen? Gosh!" The lawyer started at him for a momennin credu- lously. "I'd .forgotten. A boy -and convicted of killing that old man, your uncle -to get his money, too!" he add- ed reproachfully. Mark's face sobered. His eyes darkened. "Convicted?" You call that travesty a fair trial?" The old man recoiled slightly, but he steadied himself to face the young fury in Mark's glance. "It was a fair trial; I always said so; you appealed too," he maintained his point dryly.; then he put Mark's anger aside with a gesture. "I've no time to take that up. I dare say you've suffered for it." Mark did not answer this; he had set his teeth hard to keep back the torment of his anger. He looked over the gray little man's head, out of the window; the'skyscraper commanded a glimpse of the river, the sight of water had a, strangely tranquilizing effect. His silence ,bothered •the lawyer. He turned on him raspingly. "What d'you ,watits Mark?" The young man put his hand in his pocket and drew out an old letter with Fosdick's name in the corner. He laid it on the desk. "That says that Aunt Hurley left her money for me when I oame out, and yous have charge .of it. I'm out, Mr. Fbsdick." Fosdick glanced at • the envelope without taking it up. • • see! Your Aunt Hurley's money brought you 'here mighty quick!" he remarked grudgingly., He had never forgotten the boy for Grant Barton's death. Of course he'd done it for the uncle's ,money. The motive was as plain as the nose on your face! "I drew that will. Her friends advised against it, but she would have her way. She always believed in you." • "You've never been' -In prison, IKr. Fosdick." 1 "God bless her!" Mark broke out, suddenly devout. For a moment he seemed to dwell on thts in silence, then he said: "The will was, proven, bf coursa; you say as much in this letter." The lawyer assented grudgingly again; it was plain that he had been among the friends who "advised against it." "It's not much," he said tartly, "about twenty thousand." This time Mark smiled amusedly. Fosdick drummedon his desk again; then he swung his swivel, c*Ir back .to .its place with an air Of --dis- missing his visitor. "Conie around tomorrow morning and I'll have the papers ready, The Money's in deposit at the bank here, waiting.", Mark rose, but stopped with his hand on the back of his chair. "It's early yet, Mr. Fosdick, and I'd be glad to draw some of that money._ I'm short." • The' little lawyer whipped around in his chair and stared at him then. WO: "The fellow's a giant!" . he *nett Uneasily, remembering old dig* ti arton't end, Mone y in that, tool' , octet bap it,ft. he 'said, *Win, was their chief interest. It nettled him; he hurried his food down, drank hs tea and paid his bill. It left him twenty cents. • As he counted his change and thrust it back into his pocket he laughed bitterly to himself. How would Fcredick like to face his night in the city, with twenty cents? He was just rising. from the table when his two young neighbors sud- denly rose, came over and pulling out the two empty chairs opposite, sat down, uninvited, at hs table. 'Mark looked at them coldly, ap- praisingly; their effrontery began to amuse him; he was no longer minded to go, but at still; thrusting his hands Into his pockets he stared at them. The stout young man leaned for- ward confidently, his red 'cheeks grow- ing redder. "Pardon me," he said courteously, smiling across at Mark: "It's a wager -my speaking to you, I nietun., If you've ever made a Wager, you know how a. fellOW feela.

She's forbidden him the house; and he's sore. There's going '.to be , an exclu- sive afternoon today, a big affair. Ted has no card. He's raw about it, and he's laid a wager with me that she's all bunk about her rules, that she doesn't really know what her gueats do, that any fellow -the first man we met in the street -given a clean shirt could pass inuster.

No, do you see?" Mark nodded. "1 see!" he said, and laughed. There was vigor do his' laughter, a jubilant. ring of freedom. The, sound startled Archie, he look- ed up sheepishly, but Teddy joined in the laugh. "I met you first outside the club,". he said, "that's the whole of it. It's a wager-" h made a boyish grimace -"I don't want to lose my thousand dollars. Archie, here, is a bit stiff- necked about it. You -1 wonder-" he leaned back, thrusting 'his hands into his podkets and jingling his money rather Obriously-"I wonder if you'll help me out? It's only for one afternoon, yeti know, at a tea, there'll the dancing, no end of fun, but the test will be the- dinner afterwards. She only asks the elect to that -the sons of %Denial dames, I call 'em. I bet she'll asle`You." • "What do I'get?" asked Mark. Archie frowned; it was plain that the wager had been made ina rash moment; doubtless the clubhouse luncheon had - not .been'•entrely, •and the exhilaration of the moment was disappearing. Archie began to see 'objections to his part in it, but his younger companion was eager to pay off' his score; his eyes sparkled. "1 believe you'll go," he said gay- ly, "you Seek game!. I'll tell yau-if you carry it off wells if you get invit- ed to that precious dinner afterwards, I'll give you half -five -frfindred dol- lars." Mark shook his head. ',"That's'con- ditional.

I won't go a step unless I get the five hundred down •and my 'clothes. I've none for the occasioris• gentlemen," he added with a twisted smile that the older one caught with some uneasiness. Teddy laughed boisterously. "You're right, old thing; that's fair; I'll put up the stakes and I'll get you rigged out; now, what about it?" Mark looked from one to the other thoughtfully. "One thing more, who's the lady?" ' "I don't "think you've any right to ask yet!" broke in Archie. "1 dont go unless I know," Mark retorted tersely. "Oh, come on -he's got to know!" Teddy said. "l.'s Mrs. LymaSshe was a Vandevere. Now, do you know?" Mark shook his head.' "I'm not uP -in Burke's Peerage:" Teddy laughed boisterously. "She's Burleson's sister-in-law; she receives for him-Burleson's the millionaire." Burleson? Mark 4r -ant stared at them. How small the World was! This man had been one of his dead uncle's close friends, he had even test- ified at the trial! • Archie looked at him curiously. "You know that name?" Mark nodded; the idea caught him; to come face tb face with his own old world again! But he answered 'lacon- ically. "I've heard of it." Teddy was getting anxious. "Now you know -is It a bargain?"
