In { very short time, Gregory found

A bell rang, but he was not curious.
Voices sounded at the front door, foot

the open window, and leaned heavily
on the sill, taking great breaths, star

When Grace re-entered the parlOr,

eyes were fill of reproach without
tenderness. AS she came straight
toward him, an open letter in her
hand, his body grew erect, and his
brown eyes, losing their, glazed light.
burned from the depths.
Read it," Grace said, in a Thin,
brittle voice
In taking the letter, Gregory touched
her hand With recaptured alertness,
he held the missive to the light. and
read:

position of bookkeeper at my grocery
store now that Hamilton Gregory has

the fixedness of her gaze. 1t seemed
to call upon him to avense an insult.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Enemy Triumphs.

Old Mrs. Jefferson would long ago
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 angles of justice,
who are neither beautiful nor young,
are turned aside. Helplessly Mrs. JEFF
ferson had watched and waited and
now, behold! there was no more Drag
on. Fran had said she would do it
nothing could have exceeded the con-
fidence of the old lady to the new sec
rotary.
Mrs. Gregory's sense of relief was
not so profound as her mothers, be-
cause she could not think of Grace's
absence except as q reprieve. Surely
she would return-but the present was
to be placidly enjoyed. Grace was
gone. Mrs. Gregory's smile once more
reminded Fran of the others half-for-
gotten youth. When board has lain
too long on the ground, one finds. on
it's removed, that the grass is Withered:
all the same, the grass feels the sun
shine
Fran thanked herself that Grace was
no longer silhouetted against the hori-
zon and Gregory, remarking this atti-
tude of self-congratulation was thrown
more than ever out of sympathy with
his daughter. Fran was indefatigable
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 method
ical ways-one never knew how Fran
would do anything, only that she would
dc it. Grace vas all method, but more
than that she was as Gregory phrased
it to himself-she was all Grace.
Gregory missed her every minute OF
the day, and the harder Fran tried to
fill her place, the more he resented it,
Fran was separated from his sympa-
thies by the chasm in his own soul.
The time came when Gregory felt
that he must see Grace again and be
alone with her. At first, he had.
thought they must not meet apart
from the world; but by the end OF
| the week, he was wondering what eX-
cuse he could offer to induce her to
meet him-not at Miss Sapphira's,
where she now boarded, not at the
grocery where Bob was always hover
! ing about-but somewhere remote,
somewhere safe, where they might
| talk about-but he had no idea OF the
conversation that might ensue; there
was nothing definite in anything save
his fixed thought OF being with her.
AS to any harm, there could be none.
He had so long regarded Grace as the
J. best woman in the world, that even
after the day of Kisses. his mind con
tinued in its inertia of faith-eyen the
gravitation of material facts was I'M
able to check it's sublime course.
