There we're two pictures on Mar
iorie Turnbull's dressing table. But
in her heart there was only one.
On the table. nesting In big silver
frames, were the photographs OF
Henry Scott and OF his handsomer
and younger brother, Hugh. In her
heart the image of Hugh Scott reign
ed alone.
Cyrus Turnbull had been guardian
10 both the orphaned Scott boys. And
he had taken both OF them into his
fastgrowing brokerage firm.
Henry Scott was a man after the
old brokers' own type--honest, clev-
er. a glutton for work. And in time
these qualities made him manager
OF the firm.
Hugh frankly hated work As a re.

had his more ambitious brother For,
when Henry rose 10 the position
where brains work harder than body,
Hugh still shaved away AT manual
labor as a bookkeeper in the outer
office.

laid his mischance al the door OF
hard luck and would have sworn
that his brother owed his rise 10

knowing Cyrus Turnbulls desire
TO have her marry Henry and his
strong contempt for Hugh, the two
young people kept their engagement
a secret, which added TO its zest for
them both.
Their stolen meetings were a de-

her fathers office at odd times, dur

gave her a chance for a minute or
so with Hugh.
One noon she went downtown in
