Sha followed, still reluctant to give up the battle. ‘‘There is another considerationâ€" the attitude of the Honorable Oliâ€" ver Britton in this disgrace.‘ she said, ‘using the last and most cruel weapon of all. "Do you know what your uncle will do?" If you «don‘t I can tell you!" Trascott had no words. He gave Britton a fervent fingerâ€"clasp and a bright smile of relief and thankfuiâ€" ness. No elation he had ever felt at the rescuing of some poor wretch from the English slums compared with his joy at Britton‘s personal victory. "It‘s war, if you put it that way," he wearily responded; "but hadn‘t you better spare your own name?" She laughed shortly.
