THE STORY OF

Memories of this kind crowded in upon Noel Crawley's dazed and over excited brain, and one question kept hammering insistently for answer: "What would Brooke do if he knew?" And then he realized, with a still more poignant horror at the unnamable position in which through his own folly and a scurry trick o fate he found himself placed, that that was not really the paramount fear. It was not the fear of consequence. Were Brooke to know why he should only want Brooke or anyone else to kill him. Such a fate would be too good, and life under such circumstances would be utterly intolerable. No, Brooke might arise in primitive wrath and slay the false wife and the false friend, and then turn his face toward hell. Crawley, with his artist's soul and highly strung temperament, saw the whole drama. It was fitting and inevitable, and he did not flinch. Once the truth were out life would be impossible. Already in his mind be forgave Brooke for the uncommitted murder. No, It was not that. It was rather the intolerable thought of the effect such a discovery would have on Brooke himself his friend, his bene factor and patron, the man to whom he attributed his present position in the world for Crawley was not so egotistical as to fall to realise that, despite his genius, he could hardly have been recognized as yet had it not been that the great empire maker had never forgotten his friend of bohemlan days In the Quarter Latin, and had never ldst an opportunity and there had been many of diplomatically booming him. The result had been Noel Crawley, of 40a Grosvenor Road. On the score of gratitude alone Crawley would have sooner died than ruin Brooke's happiness. HE 18 TORN BY A TERRIBLE DESPAIR. For all that, there was a much stronger Influence at work within him than the mere gratitude of a client to his patron. Brooke had, it is true, made Crawley Just as he made lots of other people who were not necessarily at all grateful to him as they should have been. As a matter of fact, in the case of Noel Crawley, Brooke had only anticipated events, for with or without the great pioneer there is no shadow of doubt that the artist would sooner or later have achieved recognition and fame, for Crawley was a man in a million a genius in whose soul burnt the immortal flame. Still and Brooke realized that genius had been known to die unrectilzed and fame did not always mean money, while money to Brooke was a sine ua non of existence, artistic or otherwise. Crawley, it Is true, was grateful to Brooke, perhaps over-grateful, in his heart of hearts, but if he had owed notLlng to Brooke he would have been none the less fond of the man, proud of his great, honest friendship. The two men were friends. Beads of sweat started from his throbbing temples. Yes, he knew what he had done, he and Zoe. He had ruined Godfrey Brooke's life. Brooke would go into the Leveredge Gallery and see his wife, and then he would know. Yes. Crawley felt it inevitable. He was paralyzed. He could hear the march of events; he had not the strength to raise a hand to avert the catastrophe. What would be the good if he did? What would he do to prevent it? Nothing. For all he knew Brooke might know row. Hundreds of people must have seen the picture already. The sense of sick inertia, which held him in its baneful sway increased. He felt drowsy and lethargic. He actually felt as If he did not much care. The thing was done. The blow had fallen. He was lost. But the blow had not fallen; at leBst there was a grain of hope. "Good heaven!" he muttered thickly. "I must be mad to be sitting here like this. It must not be! It shall not be! He shall never know!" The nightmare of inertia had passed. He was alive again.' instinct with energy, desperate with resolve. Also a certain clearness of vision had come to him, a certain steadiness of nerve. He braced himself and glanced over his untouched lunch to the clock, then at his watch. "I'll do it," he said aloud. "Yes, I'll do it, if I'm not too late!" Five minutes afterwards he was driving in a taxlcab to the Leveredge Gallery in Bond street. Hutton heard the door of the flat bang and entered the sitting room to find his master's lunch untouched and his master gone. He contemplated the empty room in silence and scratched the back of his right ear. There's something in the air," he soliloquized, wagging his head gravely. "Something's up. or else he's Jolly well gone off his chump!" It was Just two o'clock when Crawley dismissed bis taxi outside the Leveredge Gallery. Messrs. Leveredge and Maberley were art connoisseurs, with a reputation world-wide. It was a comparatively new firm, for Leveredge, whose gca name, , it was, rumored, was Kdel-

mann, had started business in Paris iesp than fifteen years ago, and only quite recently had been Joined by a brilliant young American, Reuben Maberly, whose Italian art criticism had produced consternation In the galleriesof Europe and necessitated their recataloguing. Maberly discovered masters and ruthlessly destroyed hoary traditions. A Botticelli, previously worth ten thousand pounds, might any day be discovered by Maberly to be a poor school-piece or c later copy, and realize in consequence less than a tenth of its previous valuation. He was therefore a powerful man, and, despite ill-natured rumors to the contrary, was above suspicion. He was the last word in fifteenth and sixteenth century art. Leveredge was the modern side. He could not tell a Ghirlandajo from a Filippino Lippi; but he knew the moderns inside-out, and he bought wisely and sold when the psychological and financial moment arrived. He had a flair for a bargain the money nose. He discovered men. He marked them down in their student days and followed them. Sometimes, when it suited his book, he made them. Whatever he did he made money. Noel Crawley, as he alighted from his cab, glanced nervously up and down the street, then at the artistic posters outside the entrance to the Leveredge Gallery the posters announcing that Mr. Noel Crawley's new picture, "Circe," which had been exhibited at the Paris Salon last year, was on view with a collection of smaller paintings by several exponents of the Viennese Secessionist School. A flag, bearing the inscription, "'Circe the P.icture of the Year," dangled limply above the entrance. iCrawley shuddered. It was grossly vulgar, and he hated himself for ever consenting to such a parade of advertising methods. And yet well, no one knew better that he what Leveredge could do for a rising man. The Proprietor Gives Noel Hearty Welcome. Even at this hour' several smart motors were drawing up outside the gallery, and as he entered he met two or three prominent people coming out and bowed to them distantly. At another time he might have been interested and flattered. Today his

BUNDY QUITS JOB WITHOUT BEGINNING After announcing to the commissioners that he would accept the position as janitor of the first floor of the court house, Herbert Bundy, colored, appeared before the board Monday afternoon and stated his intention of resigning. The salary to be made was $10 a week, which Bundy said was not sufficient for the work that was to be done. Other applicants will be considered by the board next Saturday. The commissioners say other men have been willing to take the job at this price, and that the $10 is all the job is worth. Al Brown, who has been acting as Janitor of the first floor and elevator man, will be relieved of the work as janitor. . Beethoven composed some of his greatest yorka when, he was deat,

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

WHAT lk n

"ZOE 55 thoughts were far away and bent on very different things. Leveredge was a man of fifty or thereabouts florid, portly, and overdressed. He looked the very last man in the world to know anything about art or beauty. His brown eyes showed too much dull white a muddy white but they were keen, for all that, and not unpleasant. They beamed benignantly as they fell upon Crawley, and the hooded lids twitched as Mr. Leveredge held out two white, fat and soft hands in welcome. "My dear Crawley" he exclaimed, In his soft, lisping voice, "how glad I am to see you! Things are well rather dull today, but it's early yet. They'll improve. We shall get our money back, my boy. But, by Jove, you are not looking up to the mark, my dear Crawley! Anything wrong, eh? what?" Crawley shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, no, Leveredge; nothing at all. I I want a business, chat with you." "With all the pleasure in the world, old man," replied Mr. Leveredge, with perhaps a little undue emphasis. "What can I do for you, Crawley eh?" Crawley glanced sharply at the art dealer. He was no fool, and he realized the difficulties in his way; ap preciated faintly, too, Mr. Leveredge; but, most of all, his awful danger and the desperate resolve which possessed him. "Look here, Leveredge." he said, "Tell me are you satisfied with the 'Circe' deal eh?" Mr, Leveredge started.' - ' 31 "Satisfied!" he murmured. "What do you mean? Why, it's settled. It's " "I know I know; but I was Just wondering, because " "Got another to sell?" "No, hardly that." Now it came to the point Crawley found very considerable difficulty in bluntly saying what he meant. "It was a big price," said Leveredge, sighing noisily; "it'll take a lot of working to get it back. A thousand pounds! Whew! However, we took the risk, Crawley. We don't go back on our bargains. And I believe in you, as you know. Yes, Crawley, I believe In you, and I'm prepared, as you see, to back my fancy." "Had any offers for the picture?" asked Crawley fearfully.

DR. RAES TALK PLEASES 1 2-6 CLUB MEMBERSHIP

One of the most interesting and enjoyable addresses heard by the members of the 12-6 club was delivered at a noon luncheon today in the Y. M. C. A. by Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, whose halfhour's talk consisted of a dissertation of the philosophy of life. Essential among the things which go to make life enjoyable, the speaker argued, was the finding of pleasure in the daily routine tasks and everyday activities. By assuming enjoyment in every line of endeavor, the speaker said, instead of regarding each task as drudgery was certain to brighten each life. Success could be achieved, more readily in every occupation, profes THREE CHURCHES SEND MEN TO CONVENTION The First English Lutheran, Second English Lutheran and St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran churches will be represented with delegates at the con vention of the Laymen's Missionary Movement in Indianapolis the last of February.

The price, too, they say, r&nges from four to eight cents lower than the usual cost in February.

I ONLY VICTORY WILL SATISFY ENGLISH KING LONDON", Feb. 15. England's determination to fight the war to a victorious end was voiced from the throne today, when King George's speech opening the sixth session of the present parliament was read by Lord Chancellor Buckmaster. "The spirit of the Allies and my own people remains steadfast in the resolve to s wre reparation for the victims of y provoked and unjustifiable outrage a i against the aggression of power wj jh mistakes force for right and expediency for honor," said the king. "Gentlemen of the house of com-: mons you will be asked to make due financial provision for the conduct of the war. "My lords and gentlemen, the only raeasures that will be submitted to you are such as in the opinion of my advisors tend to the attainment of our common object," COUNTY TO EMPLOY ANOTHER JANITOR M. D. Doddridge, chairman of the board of county commissioners, said today that in many respects the work of the county prisoners at the court bouse is unsatisfactory. The county commissioners, he said, will hire another janitor to work in any part of the buildi-g under the direction of Lindley Swain, the bead janitor. "A few of the prisoners are good workers but most of them stand around and are in the road," said Mr. Doddridge. "We want some one to help in the work who is responsible." The prisoners at the jail are not unwilling to work at the court house for it means partial freedom for them. Because it is impossible to have them all working at the same job, they are scattered in different parts of the court house and consequently cannot be guarded. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HOLDS ANNIVERSARY; Arrangements are under way for ' the celebration of the second anniversary of the Second Presbyterian church, which will be held in special services next Sunday.
