J. Gordon had seriously contem-

Shortly after he was brought rudely
out Of such contemplation by being
softly informed by the recipient OF his
adolescent affection that her heart
was In the keeping Of n much his
senior, n to whom she had been be-
trothed these many years. Many
years? Why how old was she really?
He afterward learned. some IL more

The relief he felt at this action upon
her part frightened him. Had he been

uneasiness returned. The first dis.

evenings when they made him feel
lonely. But he would forget all this
next day through Office hours.
The young wife on the one side of
