Il was because I was able to keep my love for
Nan under cover and take what she would give.
At other times wondered If she might not care
more for me than imagined. At any rate
realized that her sweet companionshIp meant
everything to me and I knew that If she mar
ried ] would be miserable
So when the Office offered me the position OF
manager, with fat salary, of our San Francisco
branch, decided to take 1T. Bad as the part
ing from Nan would be it would be nothing to
having to stay in the same city with her and
meet her as Mrs. Warner or Mrs. Hobbs.
"What are you thinking about" asked Nan
suddenly.
I started. She would doubtless have laughed
at me had 1 told her what was running through
my mind. -,
III was wondering" said I, chow in the world
YOU ever got tangled up with both Warner and
Hobbs at the same time. 1t seems to me that
the first man has the better legal claim to you.
l. Nan leaned back in her chair, her elbows on
the arms, and pressed her finger tips together
iudiciouslv. "Hobbs was the first" she said
thoughtfully. as though trying TO remember
which was first, "and Warner proposed later
the same night. 1t was at dinner"
"The same night" I shouted, sitting bolt up
right.
"Yes," replied Nan innocently, looking at me
wide eyed, ''why not? You see hadn't had time
to get used to being engaged to Augustus and
Tommy is awfully eloquent, you know; he sort
of took me out of myself"
"He must have taken you some distance out.
Never having been proposed to by Tommy" ]
reioined stifAy, "I can't answer for his elo-
oucnce, though L have seen him talkative after
dinner"
The girl gave me scornful glance. "I want
help" said she, mot comments of that sort
Have you any suggestion to make?"
I shook my head slowly. "No,' l returned,
"upless you want me to kidnap one of them"
Nan giggled. "Ihat sounds nice and melo
dramatic" she said, "but what will you do with
him.
Take him to California with me-
Nan looked at Inc quickly. "Take him with
vou?' she queried. What do you mean?
"Oh forgot to tell you, we were so deep in
your troubles [ have been offered our San
francisco branch to boss"
But surely you are not going to. accept"
"But surely l am In fact have accepted

hand out in the freight and watching the scint-
illations of magnificent solitaire.
Tommy Warmers" said the girl, drawing her
hand away quickly.
Looks like the ring gave you when we were
engaged" commented l.
"Oh no." interposed Nan, 'it is much larger
stone" Then as she saw me vince triAe she
stretched out her hand impulsively ooh, Billy"
she cried, forgive me, I didn't mean it. The
stones are exactly the same size"
ooh, that's all right" | returned chcerfully,
"T wouldn't expect to qualify in your million
aires class. But look here, why the deuce don't
you throw one of those chaps over? Who's the
other one?'
Augustus Hobbs; and Billy" plaintively, 81
don't know which like the better"
"There doesn't seem to be much choice" I
agreed grimlv
you know don't mean it that way. Theyr
both awfulv nice fellows; good dispositions
wealth, position and all that, you know, and
both fine looking. About the only difference
between them is the age; Augustus is forty
two and Tommy is twenty-eight."
"You might split the difference and marry
me-" I suggested, 'Tm thirty-fvc9
"You!" scornfully. "Oh, no. You wouldn't
do at all. In the first place know you too
well and then, Billy, you are too poor to keep
up with my extravagances. You know you are
Why are so many insurance agents poor"
But" I reminded her mcekly, ignoring the
aspersion on my finances 1--WE. were engaged
once
"Yes, I know" holding her left hand out in
the freight and then suddenly drawing it back.
For several minutes there was silence between
us. | was wondering DULY, what | should do
when left New York and bade goodbye to this
charming friend Cruel as she was at times she
had her moments of graciousness, which more
than made up for the rest, and she had so en-
twined herself around my heart that I could
not bear to think of any other man winning
her.
As had said we once had been engaged two
years before, and for a few months ] had been
delirously happy and had assumed proprietary
air which Nan had resented. One night. as we
were returning from ball, | made fool of
myself about tete-a-teto conversation she had
had with another fellow. and she, wounded by
my remarks, mad offered to give me back my
ring. Suriy L replied that she might keep the
