- "Exorbitant price!" exclaimed Brooke. ,, "But you told me that he only gave you 1,000 for the picture." "Quite so; but what he gave me and . what he will want are quite different things." : "WelL who Is the chap to see about ft?" asked Brooke. Crawley again glanced at Leveredge. He was strongly tempted to say many things against his own interest, but forbore. He summoned his courage and shattered nerves together and introduced the astonished Leveredge to Godfrey Brooke. It had come to him in a flash that he had been very much mistaken, and then that Leveredge did not know nearly as much as that worthy gentleman

would have liked to have given him to understand and believe; but Brooke gave him no time to think or reconsid

er his point of view. To Be Continued -

Leveredge glared at the artist.

However, Noel Crawley at that precise moment was not in the mood to : review events calmly and rationally. He was excited and jumped at ridiculous conclusions. He was saved, however, from doing an absurd thing by Brooke himself. "Old man," exclaimed the traveller, seizing Crawley's limp and clammy :hand, and apparently quite oblivious of the presence of Mr. Leveredge, "let me congratulate you! Wonderful pic1 ture! Really wonderful, 'pon my soul. Wouldn't have thought you capable of i it, Crawley. i "You know I am not the sort of l chap to go silly over paintings and things of that sort, don't you? I have always found such a lot of other and more Important things to trouble about; but, you see, old man, I am sort of specially interested in you, and so I made a point of it, and went

to the Leveredge Gallery in Bond street this very afternoon and saw your marvelous 'Circe'; paid my shilling with the reist of 'em, and, by Jove, old son, you could hardly move in the place! Leveredge, or who ever the chap is who runs the show, must be making a fortune out of you, confound him!" By this time Mr. Leveredge was beginning to sit up and listen most attentively; and the expression on his face was not altogether one of complete satisfaction. As for Crawley he was completely dumbfounded. All he could do for the moment was to stand and stare at Brooke with incredulous amaze

ment, not altogether unmixed with apprehension. Was Brooke fooling him? That was the first question that came to him; but he soon dismissed it. The idea was absurd. Brooke was far too great a man to take the trouble to play a foolish game of that sort. He was perfectly natural in his manner, and' speech, and appeared to be totally oblivious of the presence of the other man. It was, as a matter of fact, somewhat characteristic of the man who had slowly but surely attained the position' of looking upon the presence of any other man as being quite subsidiary to his own. . When Brooke was there no one else existed. It was only natural in a man who, for the greater part of his life, had been looked upon by the men with whom he came. in contact as a king in a far wider sense than any European monarch. As a matter of fact Godfrey Brooke always seemed out of place in London. London did not give him proper re

spect. In London he became a very

ordinary member of the community, whereas he was nothing of the sort. A few days' journey from Charing Cross great Sultans and chiefs prostrated themselves before him; his name was something to conjure with; his personality influenced tens of thousands of square miles; yet here an office boy asked for his card, for he looked more like an affable sea captain than a maker of empire, than a man who was worth considerably more than a million pounds sterling, and perhaps a great deal more in other ways. "I am glad you liked the thing." murmured Crawley vaguely. "I liked it so much, said Brooke, "that I wanted to buy it." Leveredge bent forward. Crawley gave him a furtive glance and then said to Brooke: "There cught not to be any difficulty about that if you are prepared to pay the absurdly exorbitant price asked by Leveredge."

LONDON, March 16. Some ideas

people in Chatham. Rochester and Gillingham are offering rewards for first

intimation of empty houses, so scarce

in housing accommodations. A local

newspaper, for instance, contains an offer of five pounds (?25) for such information.
