"I thought so; it appears to me like a matter quite personal to you and characteristic of you. Mr. Neergard. And, that being established, 1 am now ready to dissoive whatever very loose ties have ever bound me in any assoâ€" clation with this company and your self." Neergard‘s close set black eyes shiftâ€" ed a point nearer to Selwyn‘s. The aweat on his nose glistenced. "Why do you do this?" he asked slowly. "Has anybody offended you?" "Do you really wish to know ?" *"Â¥Yes, 1 certainly do. Captain Seiw yn." "Very well. It‘s because 1 don‘t like your business methods, 1 dou‘t likeâ€" several other things that are happen fog in this office. 1t‘s purely a differâ€" ence of views, and that is enough exâ€" planation, Mr. Neergard." "You are wrong; they could not. j ought to bave known that when I came back here. And now I have oniy t» thank you for receiving me, at my own request, for a sis montbs‘ trial, and to admit that I am not qualified to co epcrate with this kind of a firm." "That," _ said _ Neergard _ angrily. "amounts to an indictwment of the fire. If you express yourself in that manner outside, the firm will certainly resent it!" "My personal, taste will continnue to govern my expressions, Mr. Neergard, and I believe will prevent any further business "relations between us. . And, as we‘neveh had any other kind of reâ€" lations, I have merely to arrange the details through an attorney." "So you bhave committed the firm to the Siowitha deal?" be inquired coolly. Neergard looked up and then past him: "No, not the firwm. You did not seem to be interested in the scheme, so I went on without you. I‘m swinging it for my personal account." "Is Mr. Erroll in it?" "I said that it was a private matter," replied Neergard, but his manner was affable. â€""I think our views may very easily colncide." And so, one Wy one, with (ormal or informal but evidently friendly leaveâ€" taking, they went away. And Selwyn followed them presently, walking until he took the subway at Fortyâ€"second street for his office. e went into his own office, pocketed his mail and still wearing bat and gloves came out again just â€"as Gerald was leaving Neergard‘s office. He walked leisurely into Neergard‘s office and seated himseif. He had accepted Seilwyn purely in the hope of social advantage and with the knowledge that Selwyn could have done much for him after business heurs, if not from friendship, at least frem interest or a lively sense of beneâ€" fits to come.

Fane burst into a sonorous laugh and wagged his neck, saying: "Not at all! Not at all! Your reward for having the decency to stay out of the deal is an juvitation from us to come in and be squeezed into a jelly by Mr. Neerâ€" gard. Haw! . Haw!" _ cordially.
