her hair-and sharpening her weap-

library door.
She knew Grace Noir had gone
to the city with Robert Clinton, and
yet her feeling on seeing Hamilton
Gregory alone, was akin to surprise.
How queerly lonesome he looked, with
out his secretary! She found the phil

freedom. His surprise was SO joyful
that he was carried beyond himself.
TGracei It's Grace! Then you didn't
go to the city with Bob. There wasn't
any train"

Eyes, of course, that's the main
thing" his delight could not be held
in check. "You are here, indeed! And
you are looking mean you look

Gregory, that I am urged to accept a

He understood that she referred to
marriage with Robert Clinton. "But-"
he began, very pale.
She repeated, "a responsible posi-
ton in Chicago. And l was told, this
morning, that while | was away, Fran
meant to apply for the secretaryship,
thus taking advantage of my absence"
Frap's face looked oddly white and
old, in its oval of black hair. "Who
told you this truth? ?" she demanded,
with a menacing CLEAN of teeth.

other gracefully said. "But this is no

reproachfully, that without any warn

More than that, 1t is-er-it is abso-

Then you had already refused Fran

Hamilton Gregory took her In his
arms and held her to his breast.
Fran" he said brokenly, my unfor-

"Yes." sobbed Fran, resting her

It was strange that this request

something like spiritual se%nsuousness
to his vision of duty.
He did not want the applause of
the general public any more than he
wanted his past unearthed. 1t was

to God and Grace Noir. She stood, to
his mind, as a symbol of religion
