He heard the door open and shut.
After a moment he looked around.
Kendrick Bishop stood watching him.
Orde looked at him curiously and saw
that he was suffering from an intense
excitement. His ____
frame trembled
convulsively: his *7*. |

his face went red _ Py

“What do you . room-
want me to do?" asked Orde after a
moment of-thought.
"Go away,” cried Kendrick.
"I cannot do that.”
Kendrick’s face assumed a livid pal-
lor, and his eyes seemed to turn black
with excitement. Trembling in every
limb, but without hesitation, he ad-
vanced on Orde, drew a short riding
whip from beneath his coat and slash-
ed the young man .Across the face.
Orde looked steadily at the boy. Once
again Kendrick hit. raised bls'afm for
the third time, hesitated. His lips
writhed, and then, with a sob, he east
the little whip from him and burst
from the room.
"Poor youngster!” Orde murmured.
The next day Carroll came to him
with hurried, nervous steps, her usual-
ly pale cheeks mounting danger sig-
nals of flaming red, her eyes swim-
ming.
Orde did not attempt as yet to draw
from her the cause of this unusual
agitation, A park bench stood be-
tween two dense bushes, screened
from all direction* save one. To this
he led her.
“This thing has got to quit,” said he
grimly.
A carriage rolled near and discharg-
ed its single passenger on the" pave-
ment.
"It’s Gerald!” cried Carroll.
The young man. catching sight of
them, picked bis way daintily and
leisurely toward them.

* - * In the ballway of the
Bishop house Orde kissed her.
“Be brave, sweetheart,” said be, “but
remember that now you’re my wife.”
Orde sat in the dim parlor for what
seemed to be an interminable period.-
Occasionally the sounds of distant
voice* rose to his ear and died away
again. Finally he heard the rustle of
the portieres and turned to see the
dim form of the general.
“Bad business! Bad business!" mut-
tered the old man. .-“It's very hard on
me. Perhaps you did the right thing.
You must he good to her, but 1 cannot

Finally, after another interval. Car-

lently. She came to him and for the
moment hid her face against Ivis
breast. After a little she controlled
herself.
“Jack, we must go tonight. She—she
has ordered me out of the house and
says she never wants to see my face
again." She broke down for a second.
"Oh. Jack, she can't mean that! And

is briefly this: There comes a time in
the affairs of every household when a
man must assert himself as the ruler.
In nil the details lie may depend on

"This may be all very true, Gerald,”
said Orde. “but 1 fail to see why you
have brought us to this strange house
to tell it."
“In a moment.” replied Gerald.
“Have patience Believing that thor-
oughly. 1 have come in the last twen-
ty-four hours to a decision.”
He produced a paper and a package
from his inside pocket.
“I hare here.” he went on suddenly,

He looked at them expectantly.
“The very thing!”
“Oh, no!” cried Orde and Carroll in
unison.
Ten minutes later the three passed
through the door into the back apart-
ment.
They found waiting a young clergy-
man with two young girls. At the
sight of Carroll these latter rushed for-
ward and overwhelmed her with en-
dearments.
In fifteen minutes the little party
separated amid a chatter of congratu-
lations. Mr. and Mrs. Orde drove
