ready to repel any suggestion that their
sons future bride was a self-suppOrting,
canny, and self-seeking young person Of
twenty-five, or that she came from the
nobodies.
If she turned her back on this fact, it
was because Amy believed in her heart
that by the life she had led she had
earned the right to the life Jaffrey had
offered her. She wished that he might

that surrounded him; but. rich or not,
Jaffrey was just the happy, the ambitious.
the tender, the powerful, the inimitable
Jaffrey; and it was good to own him!
LIE knew, Jaffrey knew. He knew what
he was doing. He knew he loved her.
He had never loved any other among
these women all about-these dainty,
these stately, these gracious, these charm
ing ladies. They thought him cold.
He said to her: First Of all, love
you. That's enough. But think. also,

For many reasons, it was hard for Amy
to realize that she had not been born at
the moment when, after putting aside over
and over again the delusion that Jaffrey
could be in love with her, he had reached
for her. clasped her in arms suited for that
purpose as we'll as for rowing in the waist
of an eight-oared shell, and had said into
her ear: "What on earth is the matter
with you? Anybody would believe l had
successfully concealed my feelings. You're
my world, and you ought to have known
it long, long ago!'
She had lived, then, for forty-nine days!
Before those days, Of course, there had
been in fact life of Sort @And it had been
a pretty good sort, said the elder Duncan.
He was trying to become used to the idea
that Jaffrey had jumped the fences erected
by family tradition, and trying to be
reconciled to this choice of a wife who
came from a line of inheritance which
could not be said to be free of some slight
cause for Duncan's misgivings.
Amy knew that her life had been
pretty good sort. This was part OF her
common sense. But she knew also that
persons like the Duncans were being
agood sports when they told her how UNI
reservedly glad they were that she was
to come into their family. She under

cautiously they would now go about,

sounded as if heard through many layers
of wooden fabric. The city had been
blanketed.
AMY ANDREW, except for the servants
4 in distant part of the house, was
alone. She had insisted, even after the
engagement, in continuing her work as
private secretary of old ]. D., in spite of
the protest from Mrs. Duncan, who,
having accepted the inevitable, felt that
her future daughter-in-law must at once
take on idleness and Russian sables.
Young Jaffrey had agreed with Amy;
and so now, before Mrs. Duncan had
come back from tea, and when the elder
Duncan was in New York and young
Jaffrey was still designing country estates
on the fifteenth story of the Ohio Build
ing, Amy, alone, could receive visitor.
And what visitor!
She moved about the large library
table, the same table at which the quiet
financial plans for some Of the most sue
cessful middle Western industrials had
been made, and gave her conscious atten-
ton to the sorting out of papers which
the "King, as all his employees were wont
to call him, had asked her to bring up
from the offices for his private files Her
subconscious attention was on the fact
that life was good to live and that love
was good to life.
