She In nffer InR her life for the life of a little child. Just as I offered mine." There was a alienee, then Hannibal looked up to nod his wife standing over him, with face strangely humble. ! Her ryes were appealing, her frail tig- ore was shaking wretchedly. "My denr!" he cried, rising. I "I can't keep It up. Hannibal. I ; can't pretend any longer.

"She said she didn't. She wants his money, and she thinks she'll get It this way." i "Do you think money can pay her for what tlie Is enduring at this minute?

Won't yoo go to him?" Hannibal Wharton opened his Hps, closed them; then, taking his hat aud coat, he left the room. Hut as the old man went uptown his nerve failed him. He was fixed In his ways, he bad a blind faith In his own Infallibility. Twice he rode up In the elevator to bis sou's door, twice he rode down again. Hannibal settled himself to wait. 1 luring the chill, still bonrs after the city had gone to rest an automobile drew up to the apartment house; when Its expected passenger emerged from the building a grim-fared stranger In a greatcoat accosted him. One glance challenged the physician's attention, nud he answered; i "Yes, It's all over. A boy." 1 "And Sirs. Wharton, the mother?" "Youth Is a wonderful thing, and she has everything to live for. She Is doing as well as could be expected. You're a relative, I presume?" The old man hesitated, then his voice came boldly. "Yes, I'm her fa ther." When the docbv had driven away Hannibal strode Into the building and telephoned to the Waldorf, but now U's words were short and n,lil',y broken Nevertheless they brought a light of rlii'.r.e'-s to the eyes of the wouiau who had waited all these hours. i CHAPTER XXVI. m ,xr : T'cmorrst. still In her glitfer li ! viiii1. cstnme. but heavy limbed ,i:.-t ft n i I wllli fatigue, paused outside I t own i ior early licit morning.

To Hob, who had always led a selfish, thoughtless existence, it was Ot Hist bewildering to discover that his place at the head of his household bad hi-en usurped by another. Heretofore he had always been of supreme domestic Im portance, but mtv the order of things was completely reversed, if not hope lessly Jumbled.

Somewhere at the foot of the list he found his own true place. Now. strange to say, this novel ar rangement was extremely agreeable to the deposed ruler. Hoh took a shame less delight In dolug menial service; to fetch and to curry for all hands filled him w ith Joy. Hut once outside of the premises he reasserted himself, and his Importance grew as fjas expands. lie fore long his intimate friends began to avoid him like a plague. It was his partner.
