For he that soweth to his flesh snail of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit rgap life everlasting And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due seaeon we shall reap, if we faint I not."

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE At first the speculations had been highly successful; Chefs constant buying on a rising market had given him huge profits, and with those (uneashed, of course) aa security he had borrowed and purchased more. Then the inevitable had happened. Chet didn’t put it in thia way; be seemed to think that a conjunction of bad trade, falling share prices, and a request by the bank for him to begin repayment of loans was some malign coincidence instead of a aeries of eauses and effects. If only Charlea could help him out with ten or twelve thousand — he’d pay interest, let’s call it a short-term investment, old chap, the badneaa of trade could only be exceptional. Rainier shares were destined to far higher levels eventually—hadn’t they once been “talked" to twenty pounds? And Chet added that he hated making such a request, and only did so because there was much more at stake than his own personal affairs; Rainier’s was a family concern, there were Julian and Jill and . Bridget and Julia and all the others to think about. If he threw his own shares on the market, it would make for a further fall in the price, and that would be bad for the firm itself and so affect the stability of the family property and livelihood. The letter arrived on a Friday; Charles answered it that same evening, enclosing a check for aa large a round figure aa he happened to have on hand, and promising more in a few days. But by the following morning the affairs of Rainier’a had already broken out of the financial columns and were invading the news pages of all the daily papers. Apparently the shares had crashed in the “Street” after the Stock Exchange closed the previous evening, the final price being a very nominal half-crown. Accompanying the collapse were wild rumors—some of them, according to a discreet reporter, “of a serious nature.’* That sent him to Bragg to aak for leave of absence; be then wired Sheldon and left immediately for Stourton, reaching the house in the late afternoon. From the cars outside he guessed there was a family conclave before Sheldon told him who had arrived. He found them assembled in th- library, already in the midst of stormy argument. Bridget, who was near the door, said "Hello, Charlie," but the others were too preoccupied to hear this, even to see him at first It waa curious to note tbe utter disintegration of formal manners in face of j such a crisis; to watch a favored few, long accustomed to regard tbe family business as a rock of ages cleft for them, suddenly contemplating phenomena so normal in moat people's lives—the uncertainties of the future. Charles stayed elose to the door, reluctant to intervene; ao (pr as he could make out, the family had been heckling Chet for some time, for Ho temper was considerably frayed, and at one I question bo suddenly lost it and shouted “Look here, I'm not going to shoulder the blame for everything! You were all deuced glad to leave things in my hands as long aa you thought they were going wall—" “As long as we thought you knew what you were up to —we never X•« wore monkeying like “Confound it, JiU—wbat did yea ever do except draw dividends and spend ’em on Riviera gigolos?" “How dore you say that!" “Well, if you can suggest there’s been anything crooked tai the way I’ve—“ Jdl waa on tbe vet go of hysteria.

cept when wo went to Aix for a month—Julian, 1 appeal to you—are you going to stay hero and allow things hke this to be said— Julian—” George Interposed feebly: "Steady now, steady—both of you." Julia said, with cold common , sense: “1 think we might as well stick to the point, which isn’t Jill’s morals, but our money.” Jill was still screaming: "Julian can tell you— Julian—" Everybody stared at Julian, who couldn’t think of a sufficiently clevi er remark and was consequently silent Meanwhile Chet’s anger rose to white heat “Look at me—don’t look at Julian! I haven't had a i decent sleep for weeks, while you’ve all been gallivanting about in Cannes—Aix—Lord knows where 1 1 Look at me! I've put on ten yean —that's what they say at the of- ’ fice!" And he added, pathetically: 1 “To say nothing of it giving Lydia 1 a breakdown." It waa also pathetic that he > should have asked them to look at 1 him, for his claim was a clear ex--1 aggeration; he certainly looked 1 tired—perhaps also in need of a : Turkish bath and a shave; but his 1 hair had failed to turn white after ' any number of sleepless nights. Ho 1 was still expansive, even in self- ' pity. Charles felt suddenly sorry > for him, as much because aa in ' spite of thia. ’ Julian having now thought of ’ something, intervened in his sly, * high-pitched voice: “I’m afraid it ’ wasn't your looks we were all rely--1 ing on, Chet..." Then Julia, glancing towards the ! door, spotted Charlea. “Ah, here’s : the mystery man arrived! Hello, darling! How wise you were to sell Rainier’s at three pounds ten and ’ buy War Loan, you shrewd man! Come to gloat over us ?" It was the interpretation Charles had feared. Ho stepped forward, nodded slightly to the general aoaambly. "You're quite wrong, Julia. .. How are you. Chet t* Chet, on the verge of tears after his outburst, put out his hand ' rather aa a dog extends an interceding paw; he murmured abjectly: “Helle, old chap — God bless. Caught us all at a bad moment And thanks for your letter—real nice of you, but I'm afraid it's a bit late—a sort of tide in the affaire of men, you know—" Charlea, not fully aware of what Chet waa talking about, answered for waat of anything else to say: “I should have come earlier, but I just misesd a train." "You missed Chet’s news, too," JIU cried, still half-hysterical. “Such sptoedid news! I've been traveling all night to bear it—so has Julian—would somebody mind repeating it for ChariM's benefit?" U IU tall him." Julia interrupted, vesromoualy. “We’re all oa the rocks, and our Chet’s the moot wonderful financier in the world!" “Except," added Julian, "a eer- ' tain undergraduate who thoughtfully added a quarter of a million to Chet's bank loan by demanding cash." Charles swung round on him “What ea earth do you moan by that’" “Well, you sold your stuff to Chet, didn't your "He wanted to buy—l didn't aak him ta." “But be paid you hi eash.* “Naturally—hat .to!* , "Well, where d’you suppose be found the cash?
