Tho Forgotten Man.

TNHE 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 60 to
the country when the rain ceased If
1t continued to rain he would call at s.
He told the boy to wait for an answer.
The messenger returned promptly and
banded 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
a mortal combat with Bivens' millions
for Mans soul and bodyl The idea
was too hideous to be 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 perhdy and cruelty OF
such an act was too hideous for belief

NTUART walked next morning
with a sense Of hopeless de-
N preston. What strange mad
ness had come over the woman

money before, Bivens was the only
Explanation.
A letter was on the hall rack which
had been sent by a messenger. He
broke the seal with nervous haste. 1t
was from Bivens asking him to call
his Office telephone at II o'clock.
He tore the note into tiny pieces,
tepped into the parlor and threw them

Ing an old fashioned southern melody,
md the tenderest voice accompanied
The piano. He walked to the door OF
he music room.
1t was Harriet Woodman. She look.

''What a sweet voice you have, child

''I didn't either until tried"
"You must study music" he said
r 18th enthusiasm.
The girl elapped her hands and lenp-
b to her feet. exclaiming:
"will you be proud of me. Jim, II
can singf"
"Indeed WILL" was the earnest an
Her.
The laughing eyes grew serious as
be slowly said:
"Then I'll do my level best. Pm Off
oodby."
ON reaching his Office on lower Broad
ay Stuart rang Bivens' telephone. and
lie president of the American Chemi-
= Il company made an engagement to
III at once.
Stuart was grateful for the timely
In of a client who kept him in con.
d Iltation for fifteen minutes while Biv.
hs patiently waited his turn in the re-
ption room.
The first view Of Bivens was always
impressive. He was short, thin and
oked almost frail at first glance. A
cond look gave the impression OF
iry reserve force in his compact
anne. His hair was Jet black and
inning slightly on top. which gave
20 the appearance Of much greater

In good faith, and every cloud between
him and Nan would vanish! They
could be married at once and the fu-
ture was secure. All he had to do was
to keep silent for the moment as to his
real relations to Nan and compromise
his sense of honor by accepting the
wages of a man whose principles he
despfsed. His decision was made with
out a moments hesitation.
'I refuse the offer, Cal" he said
firmly.
Bfvens rose quickly and placed his
smooth hand on his friends.
II won't take that answer now
Think it over. I'll see you again"
He turned and left the room before
Stuart could reply.
The lawyer drew a photograph from
his desk and looked at it, smiling ten
derly.
81 wonder, Nan! / wonderr'
The smile slowly faded. and a frown
elouded his brow. The lines of his
mouth suddenly ightened.
'T'n settle 1t today" he said with de-
cision, as he rose. took his hat and left
for Gramercy park.
It was noon when Stuart reached the
Primrose house, and Nan was again
out He received the announcement
from her mother with feeling of rage
he could Ill conceal
"Where Is she? / seem never to be
able to find her at home"
Now, don't be absurd, Jim. You
know she would have broken any en-
gagement to see you had she known
you were going to call today. l don't
expect her home until T."
"Of course, understand, Mrs. Prim-
rose" Stuart said with light laugh.
II should have told her. but / didn't

Nothing serious has happened. ]

that she hoped for the worst

dinner"
"All right. Jim, DEAR" the mother
purred. "I'l see that she's here if l
have to lock the door"
Stuart strolled out aimlessly and be-
gan to ramble without purpose. Some
how today everything on which his
eye rested and every sound that struck
his ear proclaimed the advent of the
trusts new power Of which Bivens
was the symbol-Bivens with his deli
cate, careful little hand, his bulglng
forehead, his dark keen eyes. What
chance had bis old friend Woodman
against such forcesP
That Bivens should fall hopelessly
and blindly in love with Nan at first
sight was too stupefying to be grasped
at once. She couldn't love such a
man-and yet his millions and that
slippery mother were a sinister com.
binatlon-
By evening he had thrown Off his
depression and met Nan with some
thing of his old gayety, to which she
responded with touch OF coquetry.
