by the quick rising and falling of the

Stuart leaned close and spoke in a
low tense voice:

Nan, because it will be penetrated with

will be no music on earth like the
songs those throbbing strings shall
make to my soul when they CULVER be-

The lover slipped his arm gently
around the girls yielding form, her
head dropped on his shoulder, the great
dark eyes blinded with tears. For
moment he held her in silence, broken
only by deep sob. His hand touched
her hair with the tenderest gesture as
he whispered:

"Hush-hush, Jim!" the girl cried in

CHAPTER w.
Tho FORGOTTEN Man.

TIME next day Stuart called a
messenger and sent a note to
Nan asking her to forget the
ugly memory of the night be-
fore and fulfill her promise to 20 to
the country when the rain ceased. II
it continued to rain he would call at s.
He told the boy to vait for an answer.
The messenger returned promptly and
handed back his note unopened.
OF course she was bluffing. She
knew she had the whip hand for the
moment and meant to use it.
"Well, two can play this game" he
muttered. '"We'll see who wins!''
He turned to his work with grim
resolution.
For two weeks the battle between
pride and love ragged in silence. Each
day he rose with the hope of some
sign from Nan, and each day hope
died in a more desperate and sullen
despair. At last he began to question
the wisdom of his course. Should he
not fight his battle at closer range?
What If he were in reality engaged in
mortal combat with Bivens' millions
for Mans soul and body! The idea
was too hideous to he thinkable.
And yet the more he thought of the
scene of their parting, the more sick
ening became the conviction that her
anger at his use of an ugly word was
merely a subterfuge to break their en-
gagement. The perfdy and cruelty of
such an act was too hideous for belief
yet If the thing were possible!
One evening he made up his mind to
60 at once and fight for his old place
beside her on any terms she would
grant. He seized his hat and opened
the door. To his amazement Bivens
was leisurely ascending the steps.
Stuart stepped into the parlor and sat
down with resignation to await his
entrance.
To his amazement he heard the maid
say:
'This way, sir. DR.. Woodman asks
you to wait for him In the library"
So Bivens was calling on his arch
enemy by appointment. Stuart replac-
ed his hat on the rack and returned to
his room, determined to await the out
come of this extraordinary visit. :,
On DR.. Woodman's entrance Bivens
rose to greet him with unusual ANNA
ton and unmistakable good will.
When the doctor grasped the out
stretched hand a more striking con-
trast could scarcely be Imagined the
one big, bluff, jovial, sunny, powerful

Ing Of her words.
But you can't do this vile thing.
Since the world began l know that
vain, weak, ignorant women have sold
themselves to men they could not love

are not Of that breed, Nan. You are
the typical American girl. You repre-
sent women whose hearts have been
pure, whose lives have been clean. who
have kept burning in the hearts of
men the great faiths Of the soul Re

'tGo on. Jim; say the worst And
still I'm going to do It."
"Knowing full well that no ceremo
ny Of church or state. no word of
priest or judge, no pealing of organ or
pomp or pageantry can make this
thing a marriage?'
The lover dropped In silence to the
window seat and buried his face in his
hands in a paroxysm of emotion be-
FOND control At length he rose and
Doked at the girl he loved long and
enderly.
"God in heaven! It's inconceivable

Eyes, know. Forgive me-"
Without another word he led her
from the place, closed the little gate
quietly and returned to her home.
Alone inside the parlor they stood in
silence moment, and she took his
hand in hers.
