"Isn't M1'. Kerr coaling home for

• Then xioillrieh, with much gesti-
culation,. repeated/ the story sof Mr.
Kerr's hurried departure.
Maurice was thugderstruelt, and
did very little justice, to the excel-
lent meal .set before him. His
thoughts were entirely Qccupied by
the events of the clay, .and lie had not
'the remotest ideg of what had be-
-come of his companion. Harry had
very little money, and the facet that
be had been absent from business all
the afternoon was at once mystifying
,and, in the circumstances, even
alarming.
"I'11 'go round to Dolly's atter a
bit, and yet I- don't whether it would
be wise to do eo. I had 'letter keep
out of it,. I third." 11e pondered.
He rang for Heinrich to clear the
-table, drew in his 'shall', put his feet
on the mantelpiece,' and lighting a
•very long cigar, started to attempt
a solution. of the problem, He had
been alone 6,bout half an hour when
auddenly the door opened quietly be-
llied Blur. ,
"If that's tied. paper; Heinz, put
it down. I don't wa111, lights up

When there was 'no • answer ]1e
turned round sharply, and tlton, see-
ing a much: taller figure than Hein-
rich's he leaped to his feet.
"Hulioa, Kerr!" he said, trying
to speak in a perfectly natural voice,
ant, succeeding pretty well„ "Yen
rather;, startled me! Ilad any (/in-
ner? 'I believe you might have
Rome yet, if you ring. I'll light up.'
He switched on the light, and,
with his cigar between his fingers,
ball' smiled into. Haply Kerr's white,
set face. The past few hours had
wrought such a change ihi the boy's
nppearanco that Lionel ,was astound-
ed.
"I have conte to tell you what I
think of you, Maurice," said Harry
very quietly, yet with an undercur-
rent of determination which stirpris-
ed Maurice, ,"and to hear what you
Have to say f()1: y Ourself."
"What do you ;•paean, my dear fel-
low, and what's .Atl4; b s melodram-
a, about, eh?" asked Maurice bant-
• ,eringly.
• "Drop that," said Harry savage-
ly.' "Drop that damned supercilious
tone,. I have liad enough of it. You
/lave played it low down on lne,
Maurice; and you, know it. It was
.a11• . arranged yesterday. 'You had
poisoned the minds of my friends
against me, and when they saw me
they were ready �to�,elieve the worst
I'knOw why you Bete done this; but
if I can't have Blanche Carrington
you never will." "
Maut•iee elevated his brows. In-
capable orevery deep feeling him-
self, he .had flQ idea of the intensity
of the elemental pae:ions raging in
Harry Kerr's heart.
"You al.e letting ;our imagina-
tion run away with you, dear fel-
low," replied leiaur1ee,, evenly. "I
didn't bring you to •Brighton with
Dolly Vandom."
"No; but it was through you that The devil had taken complete pes-

bear:tncc, you know. Don't go be-
yond it. it's open 10 me to have

peace here Anti now."
Harry macre no reply. It might
be that he felt 11ints:lit appalled at
the dark passion which relit his soul
.---at his intense hatred of the man
before him, and at his owe desper-
ate fight with fate, Feeling as if
the end of all things had come, it
tnacdciened llilu to hear tate :smooth,
well -modulated tones' of the other
man's voice disposing of all these
tragic happenings as if they were
the merest episode in the day's work.
"Look dere, Kerr," said Aiaurice
in his most friendly tone, 'wily make
this infernal fuse about what is af-
ter all a mere nothing? What leas
actually happened'? You arca- suet

with a lady, who is not, perhaps, in
high society, but who is, neverthe-
less, a very good )sort. You imagine
that certain persons are clown upon
you, and immediately you rush away
without giving them half' a chance
to speak to you. • I assure you that
they were all perfectly willing to
speak to you; only you didn't give
them a chance."
"It's a lie, A2auriee, and you know
it, This morning Bentley Carring-

my word, he spoke to ale as if 1
had committed ]half the sins in the
decalogue-He!-and that smug son
of his with the assurance to make
eyes at Griselda Hume! I wonder
that she doesn't see through his
poor, thin veneer. He isn't fit to
tie the latchet of her shoe."
Maurice smiled his email, cold,'
somewhat cruel smile, which, even
in the moments of their happiest
relations, had never failed to chill
and repel Harry Kerr. Now it
simply maddened hint, a11c1 the dark
spirit of the Red River entered. in-
to full possession of hint, inspiring
murder in his soul.
"Dont laugh at me!" he said
quickly. "It's no laughing matter
to a decent man, though you have
wallowed so long that you can't
understand. Tell me exactly what.
you said to Blanche Carrington and
to Griselda. They looked at me as
if my very presence polluted the air
they breathed.
Maurice answered not a word, but
only smiled the more, and ha turn-
ed away as 'if the discussion wear-
ied' and bored hint.
"Take that sickly grin from your
face and tell' me the truth. Stand
up to it like a elan -if you can. If
you don't-" panted Harry menac-.
ingly.
Another moment and the two
were' in grips, and after a brief
struggle in which Harry, lithe and
agile and strong as a lion in his
rage, easily had the best of it, Mau-
rice fell, striking Alis head upon the
sharp edge of the tender, where he
lay breathing heavily with the blood
streaming from the wound In his
temple, which contact with the sharp
edge had caused.
Harry Kerr's glance at the pros-
trate figure held no compunction,
but only an immeasurable contempt.
Pulling himself together, ]1e took a
long breath and went 'out of the

11'ood Advisers
It Is the 01)1111011 of the provincial
weed inspector that when councils
are selecting inspectors they should
choose "weed advisers" rather than
"policemen." Excellent progress
has been made this year and it was
found that this was most pronounc-
ed 'where a man was chosen as in-
spector, who was enthusiastic about
weed control an:cl could advise .farm,
ers how to .reduce their weed men-

man to properly prepare a. field than
to come along late in the season and
