turned it in the lock, ''but domestic
discord would ensue if Nora suspected

laughed softly to himself while he
brought forth from the interior of the
cabinet a leather case which when
opened, revealed an exquisite diamond
ornament for the hair, convertible in
to brooches at it's owners whim Then
he drew from his coat pocket a SINH

''He declares on his honor that he
has been led into his last escapade
by men whose characters are presum-
ably unimpeachable.''
Rubbish! You must excuse me,

by the tears of his winsome wife, to
whom he rarely, if ever, denied any,

When George Graham learned the
result of his sisters generous inter-

brother-in-law sufficiently well to I'M
derstand that it was useless to pursue
the subject further. Yet despair drove
him few days later to seek another
with Nora, into whose SYM
pathizing ear he poured out his trou-

Mrs. HARDWOOD, in inhrifed dismay,
her face crimsoning at the bare idea.
