CHAPTER Xxx.
The Enemy iumphs.

Sometimes the history of any house
! hold progresses rapidly in closely re,
lated scenes of action; but. for the
most part, months pass by during
which life has apparently ceased tc
act. Everything that had seemed
tending toward catastrophe stopped, as
it were, with the departure of Grace
Noir Possibly the climax was still
ahead; if so. the waters were at pres
ent heaped high on this side of ulti-
mate disaster, and on the other side
leaving. between past and future, dry
Electromagnetic.
Old Mrs. Jefferson would long age
have struck blow against Grace Noir
had she not recognized the fact that
when one like Grace wears the helmet
of beauty and breastplate of youth
the darts of the very angels of justice
who are neither beautiful nor young,
are turned aside Helplessly, Mrs
Jefferson had watched and waited, and
now, behold! there was no more
Dragon. Fran had said she would do
it-nothing could have exceeded the
confidence of the old lady in the new
secretary.
Mrs. Gregory's relief was not so
profound as her mothers, because she
could not think of Grace's absence ex-
cept as a reprieve. Surely she would
return-but the present was ito be
placidly enjoyed. To observers. Mrs.
Gregory appeared ever placid, not be-
cause of indifference, but, as it was
supposed, from blindness. Under the
calm exterior of the wrong wife, there
seemed no smoldering fire awaiting a
favorable wind In truth, she was al
ways fearing that people wosld dis
cover her husbands sentimental bear
ing toward his secretary-and always
hoping that if they did, they would
conclude the wife understood best and
felt no alarm
. In the meantime, Grace was gone

minded Fran of the others half-for-

Fran thanked herself that Grace was
no longer silhouetted against the hori-
zon, and Gregory. renlarking this atti-
tude of self-congratulation was thrown
more than ever out of sympathy with
his daughter Fran was interchangeable
in her duties as secretary, but her
father felt that it was not the same.
She could turn out an immense amount
of work because she was strong and
PLAYING for high stakes-but she did
not have Grace's metlnodical ways
one never knew how Fran would do
anything, only that she would do it.
Grace was all method, but more than
that she was, as Gregory phrased it
to himseif--she was all Grace.
Gregory missed her every minute of
the day, and the harder Fran tried to
