thoughts of brotherhood, freedom,
and self sncri6ce were banished from
Donovan's mind, and a very devilish
idea took possession of bim.
Stephen was deplorably weak-
tniuded; he would get under John-
son's thumb, would very likely go
to the bad altogether, and, if ea, he
would unfit himself for Gladys. In
one moment there rose before him a
picture of the future ---Stephen, the
orthodox, dragged down into dis-
grace and rejection ; himself an
agnostic indeed, but the model of
virtue and morality, rewarded by
success.

hard struggle. The continual wog ry
about Stephen, and friction of his
presence, were perhapa good for
him, they certainly prevented him
from becoming self ingrossed;. but
there were times when he felt un-
bearably jaded and harassed, as if
he could not much longer keep up
the 'weary fight. He. grew carious-
ly fond of Stephen, and Stephen
returned the liking in his own odd
way, vacillating between Donovan
and his. old companions, and prov-
ing his miserable weakness of will.
But, though Donovan saved him
from much; he could not prevent
the steady down fall course into
which he had fallen.
The approach of the locg vacation
brought another struggle and an-
other hardly won victory. There
was a very urgent invitation to
Porthkerran. Of coarse it must
be refused, but Donovan had .to go

made it a question of economy this
time; his finances were low, and he
had made up his mind to stay in
town through the summer months,
having obtained temporary employ-
ment in working up the book-keep-
ing of some small tradesman. The
Tremains were sorry, but could say
nothing against such a plan, and
Donovan saw Stephen go westward
for his three months' holiday near
Gladys' home and felt a hitter pang
of envy'.

Stephen, trying to yawn carelessly.

points."
"I was not horn yesterday," said
Donovan, shortly, and with that he
wont out, snatch al up his hat, and,
slamming the fiont door after him,
hurries out into the street.
His brain was in a whirl of con-
fusion; he strode on recklessly down
the dingy street, out into the broad
road, past the brilliant lighter of
Sanger's Circus, past the hospital to
Westminster Bridge. Then he
paused, and leaning on the southern
parapet, in the very place whete
Noir Frewin had met him years
ago, he let the wild confusion work
itself out into distinct realities.
' This fellow loved, or professed to
love Gladys. The •thought was in-
tolerable to him. He loved her,
but spoke of her as Donovan would
hardly have spoken of Waif; he
. laved her., . and .sanctioned by bis
mother, evidently meant to woo
her! And—worst misery of all !—
what was there to prevent it? He
was absolutely hopeless; he could
only look on in dumb despair.
Never more could he go to that
Cornish home, never more"see the
face of
the woman he loved,
but he
should hear of Stephen tlauston's
visit. He might go there with
impunity, he might - spend long
hours with Gladys, might woo her,
and win her ! It was maddening!
the thought of it roused all the
stormiest passions in Donovan's
heart. He hated Stephen, bated
and despised him, dwelt with bit-
terest scorn on his weakness, his
many failings. The fiend of jeal-
ousy rode rampant over every bet-
ter feeling, quenched for the time
all that was noble in hirn. Bat it
was only for a time. Before long he
was taxing himself—nob..Stephbn'--
with cowardly weakness.
What right had be to be angry
because another man ventured to
admire Gladys? What concern was
it of his? Had he not resolved on
absolute sacrifice of self?—yet here
was the wily self coming to the fore
again, firing up indignantly because
another man desired what he had
renounced.
Enjoyment, happiness, was not
for hill; a line of plodding duty—
of entire sacrifice—was the courae
marked out instead. The .!'steep of
honor" was before him; his reward
must be in the "deeds of duteous
service" themselves.
It should be so. The fire of in-
dignation died down, leaving him
quie5, passive, depressed, but still
resolutely,deternlined to keep on
in this dreary round of duty.
