MILLING COMPANIES ASSIGNS"
Leslie gazed at the words as though
fascinated by them and the scene be-
fore her faded
The Milling Companies! That was
her fathers compapy-the one of
which he was vice president! She
looked at the faces about her, but
stolid indifference was the only express
sion observable. Surely this could not
be the great Milling Companies;
Everybody would be shocked II that
were so. But the pool did not ooze
even a bubble of excitement, and the
noisy streams rushed by without the
slightest cessation.
1t did not seem possible, and yet it
must be. They would not dare to pub
lish such thing about famous COM
pany like that unless it were true.
This was, perhaps, the reason of her
fathers silence and irritation of the
previous evening. He had been anx-
ious and in trouble, and she had wor-
ried him with idle questions and pos
sibly frustrated some plan by her blind
obstinacy. And he had kept silence
rather than urge her against her will!
All her doubts and fears faded away.
She turned without another thought,
and flew rather than walked to MIR.

She seized one as she spoke, took
the proxy from her purse and rapidly
signed her name.
Opposite the seal? There! | hope
it's not too late. Now kiss me and
say you'll never speak to me again as
you did last night"
And then, as her father kissed her,
Miss Harlan, most inconsiderately,
burst into tears.
Meanwhile the artist of Newspaper

door, however, he twisted himself free
from Mr.. Harlan's grasp, and darting
to the other side OF the room, settled

turned to his assailant.

sprawling in the chair.
