"'So you've come back, . Mark teuldn't get' through in, time. rip
Grants?" 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

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

him gambling, and' then he got stew-
ed, two of the cardinal sins. 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

met in the street -given a clean shirt

first man he meets Outside the club,
give him the clothes and get him in -
if I'll take him past the door and
simply say: "This is Mr. -oh, any
old name! 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. Your friend here has given
Me to understand that fail any-
way; be frozen out by the lady. In
that case, I'd get nothing -according
to your condition. 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

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?"
