"Mr. Brown," he began before Peter Wong had time to expatulate, "I have broken off Marvie's engagement with Mr. Wong. Do you agree ?”
"Yes" answered the luckless father, without even looking round.. "I agree to whatever you think right and proper, Dr. Mackenzie."
A faint gleam of triumph lighted up the doctor's cya as he looked at Peter. But it died out as suddenly as it had come
The young mit stood motionless for a moment. His hands certainly trembled a little as they twisted round and round his clerical hat, but otherwise be betrayed no emotion.
"Is that your final decision, Mr. Brown ?* There was so much of dignity in Peter's voice, that Mr. Brown felt compelled to turn round as he answered:

"I think so, at least-"
"Yes, yes," broke in Dr. Mackensie.. "Believe me, Peter, it is the best thing for everybody concerned. Miss Brown doesn't love you and you are not fit for her. I'll make it up to you in some other way !"
But he had not got to the end of, his speech before Perer Wong, unlocking the door, had quietly bidden Mi. Brown "good afternoon,"

Peter Wong turned on the doctor his ordinary calm face of indifference.
"I do want a favour from you," he said, "Give me a month leave of absence, that I may make my plans for the future. I shall not be able to remalo here after what has occurred."
"No," said the doctor, thoughtfully," will be best that you should go away for the prepent, I am going too. You have leave for as long as you think necessary.”
Peter Wong did not thank his chief. He did not utter another word. So with an unanswered 'Good night”, Dr. Mackenize retraced his steps homewards.
It did not take him long to pack. In another, half hour he came into the study again, where' Mr. Brown was crouching over the fire, a przy to terror and remorse.
