tried to answer gayly, and she gave
him her hand and said, EAU revoir."
1t was three days later that she came
upon a knot of men in the billiard
room talking excitedly.
No, it isn't mere newspaper talk
l tell you l t%elephoned to the exchange
for h facts. Oldham & Grayling
failed and four smaller firms have gone
down with them.'
Millieent slipped away and tried to
telephone the Office of Oldham & Gray
ling, but central assured her rather
raspily that mo answered"
She sent a telegram-.So sorry. Wish
I could do something. Answer'-to his
club. There was no reply.
The papers had no reassuring news
for her. 'Messrs. Oldham & Grayling
spent the night in their Office in con-
ference with friends. They hope to be
able to prevent less for their patrons"
never left their office. At the end of
that time 1t was announced that while
the firm Of bankers inc brokers had
failed, borne down by an overwhelming
tide Of disaster, it would pay all its
debts.
Following this announcement came
the news that Howard Oldham, ex-
hausted, by the terrible vigil, was dan
! gerously Ill in his rooms at the club.
Miss Shattuck took the next train for
the city, taking with her an elderly
lady and dependent relative, whose
amiability vas in inverse ratio to her
funds, SO was a most obliging chaperon.
They drove to the Calumet club.
TT is not necessary to take my card
to Mr.. Oldham. Tell the nurse it is his
finance and that she must see him"
The boy returned after five minutes,
his freckled face bearing an insolent
! grin.
He says you're an imposter," he
said. HE told me to tell you he amt
engaged to anybody"
Millicent started to her carriage. h
boy followed in the expectation Of a
tip"
Maybe he's a little off in his head"
he said c~onfidentially.
NO" said Millicent in a low voice
to the dependent relative. He is
right
She called again that evening and
sent up her card. She was at once adj
mitted, though the nurse protested that
she must not excite him with the least
bad news and that she must say moth
ing about business.
Millicent crossed the room and knelt
beside the bed. The half-starved man
! stared at her. Els face was wasted,
and as eloquent Of the storm that had
passed as a ravaged coast.
THANK you, Millicent. But you
should not have done this"
Yes, I should, Howard, for I have
the right. We're engaged now If we
were not this morning. Do say we are.
Howard?'
The man smiled at the appealing face
and the coaxing voice.
But, what about the army Of grand
old maids?" he said weakly.
They must do their work In their
w way, n I in mine" She was
firm.
He stretched his trembling hand out
until it rested upon her brown head.
The nurse, re-entering just then, heard
him say in a glad, strained voice:
God bless the good women who help
men to do the work of the world"

"Fudge!"

Not by her husband, possibly, but by
