I .wouldn't be without a sense of uncer- tainty for, anything you could pay me. I love to feel that every time I 'round a corner I may fall into a pit.

What your Isin is.h "Personally, Iam absolutely con- vinced !that life is merely an appren- ticeship to several other ' lives." - "Bosh, said Farquhar. , "Nonsense -nothing dies. Every- thing has changes of life, that's all. I mean: a series of deaths. There are several places in front of us. Life is. only the first., . I am not, at all sure that the second isn't the hardest of all. I am rather afraid that When we die, as we call it, and go • "to number two the pain of being earthbound will be worse than any we've known down here." He looked up to see if Farquhar was interested, and finding that he was -that he was eyeing him_witha, curious intensity -went on. • "If I were to go tonight, for in= stance -and after "these two aline cook tails I very much hope I.,,shan't-I'm absolutely certain that I should want most frightfully to see your wife again. I shouldn't be able to dig her out of ' my heart. I should long • to come back and touch her hand, open the door of her car, hear her laugh- ter, watch the gleam of her teeth, and, if possible, help her from time to time over the stony places. And if ever she were to weep at my hav- ing gone, how frightful to be power- less to assure her that every tear makes- a wound. . How about that for •en apprentice zip to another ser- ies of climbs? However, there are bound to be compensations, There al- ways are." Farquhar moved a step or two near- er to Gamlingay's chair. This man was using his. word. • "How?" he ask- ed. "In the way of work, I think. Be- cause of course, we go- on working. I haven't a doubt about that. And I'm quite sure that we improve in our jobs. To take my case, I shall be able to write a damn sight better, see things more clearly, have wider sym- pathies, a better style, more philoso- phy and truth. How long it will be before one dies again in order to make the next grade., I haven't the remotest idea.- A bit longer than is allotted to us,_I expect, on this some- times, happy plane. I greatly hope 'that the air will be freer of carhon) monoxide, among other things, and that there won't be telephones. Here's .luck?" He sipped the last of his glasses. A pre -Prohibition cellarput a new com- plexion on things. , Farquhar, was thinking while he twisted 'his moustache: "You're pretty cocksure about' all this. Tell me. Do we fall in love on your planes?" • , m' "Well, rather! There's no life with- out love, old boy.",. "I see. But . how about Gbd?" -Gamlingay flung up his hand. -Ah yes, how about God? . . That there is a God goes without saying. I see Him in my garden, and in' ev- erything . that grows. I have some- thing of Him in me, and whenever I remember it ant devoid of fear. ., . There's too' much God on earth. Er ery creed has a God. Every old and new religion is made, up Of a differ- ent God -and God Himself is lost. But the beginning of Life -the Life -will be at the feet of Gad, and it's a jolly long way off. Up and over, on and on, death after death. Finally, earth- bound no• longer-unselfish,tolerant. childlike, humble,at last -then God." After which there -was a consider- able silence. - With his legs stuck out, wearing a queer little smile, Gamlip.gay contin- ued to smoke. And though Farquhar, standing in front of the fireplace, was not in the Least convinced, he envied this man's convictions and was jeal- ous of his faith..: Fie, himself, was_ in the daxlc,_withoutany ideas or hone.. He had ne one,t Divine or human, with whom to share the troubles that he had stacked upon his .shoulders in his feeble•attempt to be good. His money, his reputation, his traditions, the future of his name, his,;wife who was loved by another man, his only child who had cut loose -they made up his-•,••1pads in these days , and he was unaccustomed to loads. He' had travelled lightly. If he were to die that night he would remain the most -earthbound pilgrim among all the passing crowd, -His thoughts would- be. anchored' to earth -divided be- tween Jean and her.tr-ouble., and- .the woman who ought to have been his wife, and the boy his son. - "Well," Said Gamlingay phesentLy.

She added and -waved ,her hand. ;It *as precisely what she would have done if he had been a friend who had been calling on her husband, if there had been such a man in her life. "I'm afraid Mowll have to hurry," he said, instantly expecting a jibe. At which she laughed at hire. • "No, .no, I never hurry, though I'm always on the rush. I shall be lata, but that's nothing. Everybody's late. .Only provincials are punctual in New York. The person' who keeps a hos- tess waiting the longest is the 'one who earns her most profound re- spect.". • "I see.

Because you -happen to' be a •con- vert you needn't become a fanatic.", "One always does," he said.: A shadow passed over her face. "It's Jean," she said, with a note of 'anger in her -voice. "Jean, Jean!. Can't you talk- about somebody _else -for a change? About yourself -or me? You may be astonished to hear, it but I'm sick of the- sound of her name." "I am' a little astonished," he said dryly. "Was I wool-gathering when I heard you say that you adore her?" He chose ,to forget that the word' came loosely from modern lips. She went into the lift. "Are you coming?" • "No, I don't think so. What's. the use? h can't go into your bedroom while you dress, and even if I could you're not in the mood to give me your attention." "I may change my mind upstairs!" And she put her hand on his arm. And so he went up; and opened the door of the ..boudoir, -and watched her with unwilling admiration -at- -.she sauntered' towards her ,room. She might have had an ,hour in which to dress. She was very graceful, very attractive, and how well she wore her things. He paid her an inward tri- bute for not being covered with dia- '-iifonds and bracelets and baubles like a Zulu woman, or one who was •ad- vertising her husband and the amount of money he made. • "If you give the thing' a moment's thought," she said, defending her ir- ritation, '`}you'll understand my mood. All the way along I've been a pretty good mother to Jean; 'I mean so far as .a woman can be a good mother who is in society. At any rate, there hasn't been a single day since I brought her into the world during which 1 haven't given her every mom- ent of my leisure. Here and every- where. You don't know this, because' you've been looking after yourself. But I give you my word, and that's enough, that I've ' loved this child dearly and brought-her"up .by hand." Her voice broke and she turned her 'face away. '• "I know," he said. "I know." She snapped round upon him as though he had, not agreed. She, too; had been stung by Jean's letter -by both her letters, and. by her desertion. "A nice thing," she said, "at • this stage of the game to be treated like a poor old woman with one foot in the grave calmly and insolently to be told that one is a sort of relic of early Victorian times. 'I'm not old, if you are. I have lots of life in me still. Don't •imagine that I'm going to waste a moment of it on this ungrate- ful child." "I see," he said. "Well then, I'll push off." , • He understood. Jean's treatment, had been adoniinable, alarming, al- most beyond belief. But there was nothing to be done. He started to move to the door. But she said: "No, stay here. If you draw a chair up near my bel - room . door you can talk to me .while • I change:" "Oh, thanks." he said, with a laugh in his eyes. "That's kind.' But shall we be able to say much that matters with your maid taking everything in? "Well, how about speaking Ger- man?' Are you capable of that?" "Hardly," ' he ,said. "Not. German: How are you in Italian?". "Oh yes, I forgot. Italian's your language, isn't it? No doubt you be - Zane pretty fluent by -saying gallant things to your lady." And having thrown that shaft she went into ,her room. "Yon missed • the putt," lie said. "The lady and I -spoke English." He heard a laugh, Ile heard'direc- tions given.

She wore a frock that was the holour of forget- me-nots, perfectly plain and simpls, and the more expensive forjhat. Her shoes and stockings 'were blue and there was a sapphire'on her breast.

Erskine Dalbeattie Farquhar, the leader of :New York society, would ruin the re- mainder of the evening for whoever the hostess was.

Not that he was fed. up with Farquhar after haying lunch- ed tete-a-tete at the Marguery and walked about the cith 'with him for a couple of hours, dodging a ,death of •which he was not afraid. But he felt that he needed to be alone in order to think things oVer.

The conversation cluriag lunch and afterwards hed,, resolved itself, more ohless, into a solo by Gamlingay. Far- quhar was• not a talker, whereas the English -novelist always had much to sear and said it devilishWell.
