For the first time since that exchange of glances opin bis entrance, Derracoti's eyes rested momentarily upon her face. An obscure and furtive ler or lingered there, and, as his gaze dwelt steadily upon her, fashed swiftly into open pants. Her bead drooped slightly forward, polsed over against him as a bit before a serpent his glance passed on and touched the min.

Well, old chap," and be made as though to rise, "you're too tired, I suppose, to have a game, so I'll be off; I won't keep you up."
Derracott's muscles softened s

"Not yer," he said; "I'll give you a game before you go. "Only my wife had better go to bed. Come, Lucy ; it's beyond your hour,"
The woman, straightening herself in her chair, regarded them both with frantic eyes ; terror had at upon her visage since last her husband had looked upon ber She rose with difficulty and opened her mouth. Some cry hang outtered on that sugue some prayer was contained Inarticulate behind those secret, trembling Ups.
She moved mechanically to Harland, with an outstretched band, stopped, sighed deeply, and left the team without a word. Harland, from the edge of his seat, watched his hout with doubt, but the gray face of the latter and his veiled eyes spoke of nothing but great weariness.
"We will drink first," be sald,
He filled two glasses from the decanter upon the table. Harland's hand shook at his lips, but he drained the giaas and laughed.
"Now for this game, my boy," he said, cheer fully. Dezzacott, whose fingers were playing with bis brimming wine-glass, maade no response, and Harland examined him anxiously.
"You're very much depressed, old chap," he said, after a space of silence; then he hesitated and his eyes suddenly lightened. "It's not money.?"
"I don't mind your knowing,” said Derracotts "I owe you close on five thousand, and there's some twenty thousand elsewhere,"
"Derracott" said Harland, leaning towards bis companion with insinuation, "cross out that five, and [11 stand in for the twenty."
The ashes of the fire collapsed in the silence. that ensued; Derracott's face never moved; ho turned the shark of the glass between his fingers.
"That's a generous offer," he said. "Generous be damne," returned Harland, gally. "It's nothing to me, and we're old pala and
"Twenty-five thousand, as the market goes, is, I suppose, generous price for honour," broke in Derracott, with an air of mediation.
The vestiges of colour ran from Harland's cheeks; their eyes encountered across the table; no words passed, but la that mute ques- tion and its vacant answer, as it were, the post- tion of the combatants was acknowledged and defined. With a thin breath, almost of relief, Harland waited for the other, whose eyes were
still upon him. Derracolt squared his elbows
on the table.
"Yes," said he; "and now for this game." Beneath the calm surface of his manner, Derracott way at the white heat of fury. Peni by his fierce jealousy, bis miod converging full upon this sudden horror, he ast, with quiet eyes and face of stone, stalking ever seator to bla fluttered quarty
"I think," he resumed presently, "that I ought to make my own rules in this game." His voice rang with a note of unconcern, even of pleasantry,
.
Harland shrugged his shoulders. "I have nothing to say," said he,
Derracott rose softly, took some note-paper from a writing-table, and scribbled some seconds upon it. Then he handed the paper across the table. What Harland read was as follows:
"I, Edward Derracolt, being in the full pos session of my senses, have decided to put an end to my life. It has become too much to bear. My debts have involved me too deeply, and I am tined of the struggle. I have no strength to go on, May God belp my wife. Forgive me, Lucy I have tiled, but there seems no way out but this, Let others take warning by my fate. The turf is accursed. God help me."
Harland Inquired of the writer with his cych, and the latter pointed at the pen and ink. "Write one like it," he said, "but with your name and according to your creamstances.
Hailand's jaw dropped suddenly's he took up the pen. When he had finished, be passed the paper to Derracott, whe nodded and rose.
Put it in your preket,” sald he. "At this hour, the park will serve our purpose."
And the manuscript went hustling up the tube to the composing-room.

And the type faftly jumped from the case into the stick.

That night the new space writer hurriedly wrapped up a copy of the issue, without a glance, and dropped it into the mail, with this brief note:-
"My Onllest Sweet and Dearest Marie-F send you a number of the Sunday supplement containing my little poem. Your face was an ever-present Inspiration to me when I wrote, and happy thoughts of you inspired every sentence.

MIXED METAPHOR.
At a recent meeting in London, an impassioned speaker reused the audience to enthusiasm by exclaiming: Like the soldiers at Waterloo, we hear the boom of the coming contest. Then let us brare up our sails, look to the guns, and sally on the warpath with our invincible Captain on the bridge.”
This patriotic orator would surely have offered a warm welcome to his brother, who, in slightly chauvinistic style, declared that "the British Lion, whether climbing the pine forests of Canada or scouting the Pacific main, would not draw in its horns, nor retire into its shell."
A London Conservative candidate, in the recent contest, said that "the Irish party, head- leze itself, would sit upon the head of the Liberal party, and hold it powerless in the hollow of its hand?"
