Gregory stood pale and miserable.
1t seemed as If all the world had de-
serted him. The feature without
Grace would be as dreary as now
seemed his past with FranR mother.
He suffered horribly. Was suffering
all that life had left for him? Per
haps he was reaping-but is there no
end to the harvest? One sows in SO
brief a time; is the garnering eternal?
A bell rang, but he was not curious.
Voices sounded at the front door, foot
steps passed, then silence once more
silence and despair. Gregory went to
the open window, and leaned heavily
on the sill, taking great breaths, star
ing duly.
Footsteps were heard again. They
were near by. They stopped at the
door-they were hers. Gregory start

reminded Fran of the others half-for

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 interchangeable
in her duties as secretary, but her
father felt that 1t was not the same.
She could turn out an immense
amount of work because she was
strong and playing for high stakes
ical ways-one never knew how Fran
would do anything, only that she would
dc it. Grace was 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

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
best woman in the world, that even
after the day of kisses, his mind con-
tinued in its inertia Of faith-even the
gravitation of material facts was un-
able to check its sublime course.
1t was the close Of a July day that
Hamilton Gregory left his house re-
solved, at any cost-save that Of ex-
posure-to experience once more the
only pleasure life held In reserve for
him: nearness to Grace Noir. She
might be at the store, since all shops
were to remain open late. In hopes of
reaping sordid advantages from the
gaiety of mankind. In a word, Little
burg was in the grip Of its first street
fair.
Before going downtown, Gregory
strolled casually within sight Of the
Clinton clearinghouse. Only Miss
Sapphire was on the green veranda,
Miss Sapphira, recognizing Gregory,
waved a solemn greeting. and he felt
reassured-for he was always afraid

But you insult Miss Grace to speak
in that way. Good heavens, Abbott,

There was a moments silence. Then
Mrs. Gregory turned to her husband
and said quietly, IF Miss Noir is the

carelessly with one hand, while she
watched the ~retreating figure.
