"Don't trouble to talk for a little while," Cyril said, "I don't think you are quito right yet, and you'd better rest." "Oh, I am quite recovered, thauks,' said Guildford Berton, "These at- tacks don't last long and leave me c as suddenly as they come." "You appear to have got quite a collection of chemicals in your cup- board," remarked Cyril, not curious- ly, but for the sake of saying some- thing. "1 suppose you keep them es restoratives?" "Some of them, yes," Guildford "I am, which maims it all the more extraordinary that the earl should acknowledge alo as his friend, It is very condescending, don't you think?" It was a question which it was on- ly possible to answer in one way. "Not at all," Cyril replied. "You don't? I fancy most poopla do, and they let me seo that they do," HIs pato face grew dusky lad for a moment, "But it is easily ex- plained. I have been of some ser-: vice to the earl, Mr. Burne, and es i I have always refused to accept any; ' remuneration he has paid me in an- other fashion." "I understand," said Cyril, still wondering why 11ir. Guildford Burton, who had looked ready to eat him in the morning, should be so conuuuni- cativo in the evening. "Had you ever seen the earl before this morning'?" asked Burton care- lessly.

"I thought him extremely courteous and—well 'highly polished.' " A smile, cynical and not altogether pleasaht, curled Guildford Burton's lips. "Yes, he is admirably veneered. Don't they say that if you scratch the Russian you find the Tartar un- derneath?" "Well, that applies to the earl. He is smooth enough until you scratch hien, then—" He paused and shrugged his shoulders. Did you ever hoar of his nePhew?" ho ask° suddenly raising his eyes and lookin at Cyril, "Who is he?" asked Cyril. "Tho Viscount Santleigh," "Oh, yes, I've heard of him," r plied Cyril. "What sort of a man is he?" he asked Guildford Burton. "'Pon my word, I'm scarcely cap- able of describing him," said Cyril, be. "We unknown artists don't havo very close acquaintanceship with viscounts but from what I have hoard I should say that ho is considered something of a fool by most people." "I understand. Do you know tor nearer than Parkham, and I hind the kind of things I keep useful among the poor people here. Tooth- . aches and that sort of thing are their most serious ailinents, and they havo got in the habit of coming to MO." "I see; it's very kind of you," said Cyril. "Your room smells quite like a chemist's shop." "You noticed it? Let us go into another room," and he rose. "I very seldom sit hero myself." Ho led the way across the small; 11a11 into another room, which was not quite so gloomy, and much more comfortably furnished. There were somo books and a few pictures, and Cyril was rather glad to miss the peculiar odor which pervaded the other roorn. His host turned up the lamp and got some spirits and glasses from a sideboard. "I have only one servant, the old woman whom you saw, so you must excuse the absence, Mr. Burne," be said. ant too accustomed to waiting upon myself to require many ser- vants," responded Cyril. "You've emptied the carafe, I see," said Guildford Berton, whoa he had fetched it from the other room, and he wont to the fireplace and touched an electric bell, The old woman entered and Berton pointed to the carafe and made signs to her on his fingers in the deaf and dumb language.

"Good -Might," said Cyril, "I hope you will mono and see me some own- ing," he added, as le was bound to do. Guildford Berton accepted the in- vitation at once, and held out ids hand. Cyril took it and almost started, for though the night was w0((11 al gornlal, Guildford Norton's hand 10 as cold as ice. "If I wore a doctor," Cyril said, "I should order you another glass of whisky—hot this t.iino—and bed." "Oh, I'm all right, thank you. Oh, by tho way, Mr. Buono, T sholl be glad if you will say nothing of tho— the slight indisposition under which you found me this evening." "Certainly, I will not," Cyril said. "But 1 think you rather underesti- mate it, if you'll allow one to say so." Guildford Bertha shook his head with a peculiar smile. "It was noth- ing," he said, Good -night," Ho stood at the gate in the wall watching Cyril's strong litho figure striding away down the lace; then, bolting tie gate securely, returned to the houso, and stood in front of the chair Cyril had sat in, and looked at it es if its late occupant were still there, "l Dor and proud," 1 cmu toter "anal handsome as the devil. .lust the sort of a man to tako a girl's fancy.
