tied nothing, and she went to work.
At first she secured position in
the little town. hoping that Robert.

her influence about him. But Robert
never came home. and the house was
sold. Robert was making a name for
himself on the stock exchange. He
lived swiftly, went the pace. worked
hard and played hard. At thirty

Little by little Elise made her way

when she ventured mildly to display
displeasure at a prank of which he
told her, his frown made her fear
that she had lost her precarious foot

back on an agreement. But others
were less scrupulous. The collapse

by treacherous partners, who sneaked
away from the compact leaving Joyce

Those were wild days at the office.

him to the wall Once Elise was in

selling Joyces Rubens. The har-

know that he was at his wits end.
For the first time the girl went to the
big house to carry through the deal.
She saw that it was nearly bare. Pic

HER PROMISE kept

Poor Joe Marshall had little
enough to leave to his little ten-year-
old daughter when he lay on his
deathbed. Education counts for little
without force of character, and folks
said that only Joe's wife had kept
him in the straight and narrow path
at all. But he was man of good
family and education, and he had had
sense enough to discern what his
more practical wife could not, that
Elise, even at ten. was the promise
of his own youth never fulfilled. Joe
called her to his bedside.

A year after his death Louise Mar

wistful, moved neglected through the
big house. When her mother died her
position was still more lonely. Rob
