MontagueI But he's flood, sort, mind -You"" "Is he always like this?" "More or les., yes. The degree of absurdity varies, but he's never ordi- nary. ' During the first six months we ,quarrelled. I daresay I was a bit en- lick't, and I didn't like his hectoring; theta I got to understand him; and for ithe�last year and a half I've been his right hand man. We had a row royal this morning, and you see how little he bears maIice,. "He said you were a serpent he had been hugging to his bosom, said Scar- borough, laughing. "Yes; that's his way. When he abuses you in metaphor, you know that you aro forgiven ,and you start afresh on the old footing. It's his no- tion of making an apology. Mona de la Mar was the cause of our dust-up this morning. She said she wasn't going to perform to -night, that she wanted a holiday, and had private business to attend to. I didn't in the least knew what her reason was; but Montague be- gan to bluster, so I backed her up, and said I wouldn't perform either. I'make a point of standing up to him whenever he starts in to play the bully. I fancy that's 'partly why we're such good friends." "A bit inconsiderate of the lady, wasn't' it?" said Scarborough, "Oh, very," agreed Varney, "but the point was that Montague couldn't be allowed to bluster to a lady. We have to treat him on a system, you see. We allow him to wag a free tongue as a 'rule, but this was outside the limits, See?" "I see," said Scarborough, "that you are an interesting crew, and I want to hear more." "Then lead the way to your restaur- ant! And if you're in funds, let it be fizz!" "Fizz it shall be. Come along'_' Over dinner Varney told his tale, picking up the thread where he and Scarborough had been pupils together at an army crammer's near Henley. Both had been working -with no great earnestness, they admitted mutually now -for the entrance exam. at Sand- hurst; and now one was a telegraph man and the other was a circus per- former. There were things in this which caller- for explanation, for nei- ther knew wholly the reasons why the other had given up his earlier ambi- tion. In Scarborough's case the explana- tionl was easy and ordinary. He had failed in the examination, and the un- cle Who was paying for his education refused to allow him to try again. "I don't think he was really, sorry," said Scarborough. "He had the no- tion that I had brains, if I cared to use them; and he didn't think the army was a useful field for their exercise. He is a self-made man, you see, and has a prejudice against what he calls a butterfly life. That was before the war. He's a bit more ready to admit that a soldier may be a man now. He wanted m^ to go into the city." "You struck at that?" "Yes." "And then?" "Well, then, as I didn't take what .de offered, he told the to do the best I could without him. The only thing he stipulated for was that it should be somethin5 in which I could earn a defi- nite sal:f.y, and he promised to add three sovereigns to every one ;that I efesseccessesemaaisaisaaexattealse Naved at the end of a year:- • V . "Not a bad arrangement, either!" exclaimed Varney. "No, a very good onefor me. The dear old man is by way of being reli- gious, but he contrives to preach the gospel of Mammon too, and in a way that makes converts. He'd be hon- estly surprised,though, if anyone pointed that out to him- Now how about you, " "`Wait a bPhil?it,"" said Varney. "What made you choose the cable service?" "For one thing the exam. was easy; for another, I'm rather keen• on elec- tricity and electrical machines; for a third, it seemed a good way of seeing a little bit of the world. Curiously enough the service is rather crowded withmen Who origineliy intended to be --.;something else. Somebody has dubbed us 'the legion of the ploughed'; but on the whole, I think we're rather good sorts. I'm quite satisfied with my Iife and with my colleagues." The other man's explanation of his. position ,was equally simple. Scarbor- ough was what he was because he had failed in an examination. Varney ha.t never sat for the examination, because the misfortune or crime of others had thrown him suddenly on his own re- sources, and, had changed his destiny from that of spending an allowance to that.. of earning a living. These two Causes between them account for many' a curious choice of profession. "You remember the smash?" he. asked. "Yes," said. Scarborough. "Carring- ton and Varney; stockbrokers -every- body knew about it; but I never under. stood it." "Few did, and I think the poor old goveiytor "least of all. He had trueted Carrington in everything, and Carring- ton used'him as a tool. The man was a thorough paced blackguard." "So •I understand. Why wasn't he brought to book?" "Too clever. Slipped through the lawyers' fingers on a technicality, and left hispartner as the scapegoat.. The' poor old governor's only crime was over -trust in a scoundrel -=even the prosecuting counsel accused him of, 'nothing more heinous than an easy- going incompetency -but the disgrace killed him: When things had got as. straight as they ever would get, I went out to. ranch in Brazil; found that the family luck stuck to me in that it. yoked me to another scoundrel, the man I was ranching with; cut him. after a month; fell in with Val B. Montague at. Rio; joined him; and be- cause I found that he was honest, stuck to him. I had been with him a year when the news of the governor's death reached me; but I didg't go back. There was nothing to go back for, and -well, that's about all." "What became of Carrington?" For, a moment Varney • did not an- swer. Then ho said slowly: "Till to -day I knew nothing about him. • To -day two things •have hap- pened that Crake me suspect the.. he is in tl; s is'and of San !Aisne]. Shall I tell yon wl at they are?" St a, b . r lt.r,b was crumbling a piece of bread with nervous fingers.. He rnew what his friend was goutg. o and he cot I not feel the same c r.a. ty as he bad felt an boar ago that 't suggestion was absurd. C:sa had him'that she felt a rush of s.?ams whc she heard the name of Page on h lips.

Be is al out five feet seven, rather fat, and iiia .skin hangs, looseIy over his cheek bones, as though he bad Since been much fatter. There is some- thing. wrong with, one of hie fingers, but I forget which." Scarborough drew in his breath quickly, and looked hard at the crumbs'. be was making. He remembered that when Mr. 1'age played chess he always made the moves with hie left band. The last joint of the middle finger of the right hand was missing, and Elsa had once explained that her father bad lost it from: the bite pf a horse when he was a boy. "And the other thing?" be ask huskily. "The other thing is that Mona de Mar refused to perform to -night," said Varney. • "Why, how does she come into it?" When he had heard his friend's ex- planation of Iia reasons fpr thinking that Mona de la Mar did come ,into the story, Scarborough rose suddenly and said; "Can you get a bicycle and ride back with me to -night? I'd like to talk things over with you," "Then stay and talk here -or bette still -let me show you over .o schooner. It's a funny place,"- "No," said Scarborougb' "I must get back. I want to be within reach of the Chinelas if I'm needed Will you come,?" "Yes,"' said Varney. He hired a bicycle in the town, and rode back . with Scar'barough. They had their talk out, and by that time it was late, and Phil Varney stayed the night at the cable station. Next morn- ing, while they were at breakfast, a note was brought to Scarborough. He opened it and read: ' "Father is dead. I think he has been murdered. Corrie to me, Elsa." That was all, Scarborough thought again of the cablegram. Was this the • danger which the coming of the circus had brought? And the danger might. not be over yet, though one victim had fallen. • Elsa herself might be in peril. He got his bicycle, and started at once for the Chinelas. As he rode off, a sudden thought struck him, and he called out to Varney: "Find out what Mona de la. Mar was. doing last night, and what the busi- ness was which made her refuse to perform in the circus." CHAPTER VI. Waiting for the Doctor When Scarborough jumped off his bicycle at the door of the Chinelas, Elsa was standing on the steps waiting for him. He went to her, and took her hands in his. It was characteristic of the pair that he neither offered, nor did she expect, condolences. "Father is lying upstairs," she said" "I have sent for a doctor." "`Then he 'is not dead!" said Scar- borough. "I thought-" "He is dead.", She spoke quietly. The blow had been a cruel one, but. it had not un- nerved her. If there.wet work to do, she would do it, and the tears woul; come afterwards. Scarborough, watch- ing her face, saw no signs 'that the tears had come yet; but he noticed a line of hardness about her mouth that had not been there yesterday. "Why have you sent for a doctor?" he asked. "Because I want to know what was the cause of death. I think that my father has been murdered." He made her put on her hat and walk with him down the road, away from the house where her sorrow lay. Presently' he pointed to a fern -covered bank, and when they were sitting side by side, he took her hand in' his again, and said gently; "Tell me about it." For -a little while she said.nothing.. 0 t d eat.
