shine of her hair, her glowing cheeks,
sparkling eyes, every detail of her
shimmering gown.
With an ache at her heart she
glanced down at her own quiet, unas-
suming suit of blue, and, reaching
duly for her bag, started for the
door. On the way she stumbled, and
wondered vaguely why her feet were
so heavy-then, moment later,
blundered against a man, and in a
dazed way reached up one hand and
brushed her eyes as though something
obscured her vision. The only thing
that seemed quite clear was that she
was glad John had gone on ahead,
leaving her to shop a bit in the city
stores. She wanted to be alone.
Pausing at the first empty seat, she
sat down, looking straight ahead with
eyes that saw nothing. Her heart
beat draggingly The muscles of her
mouth were tense. Her ungloved
hands lay motionless upon her lap.
Advancement! For fifteen years it
had been the keynote of their lives.
She recalled every detail of their
first homecoming. She remembered
how he had stood aside to let her pass
as they paused at the door of his den
then, with his deep, positive laugh,
strobe to his desk and, taking up a
pad, scrawled in big, firm characters,
the single word, Advancement
"That's what life's for, honey" he
declared "Will you join me in the
pact?
He held out his hand, as to another
man, and she placed both her own
within it, and whispered, Gwen unto
the end"
The next day she had carried the
sheet to town and had it framed in
solid oak, and during all the years
that had passed since then she had
thought of it as vow. But it had
always been he. She had forgotten
herself. She remembered that to-
day, for the first time.
When the train drew in at the sta
ton she arose, and with the dazed
look still in her eyes, hurried from
the car and put her hand into that
Of a large, rather splendid-looking
man who sat waiting in a big auto
mobile before the station.
His lips, which had opened as
though to speak, closed after a single

With sudden Tightening Of the
lips, Barbara Holton lifted her head
c little higher, drew in her breath
with what would have been a long,
slow sob had it been audible, then
turned and inclined her head slightly
in the direction of the speaker be-
hind her.
In half -dazed fashion she reached
out one hand and clutched the edge of
the seat.
He's thoroughly delightful man

behind her was saying. Really

"How do you know"
"Mrs. Dwinell told me. She enter

and a little contemptuouS sound came
to her voice. why a man like that
wants to marry such a woman is quite
beyond me. He took me in to dinner
at Mrs. Moulton's last evening. He's
big-really legislature, talk,
thoughts. Miles above the ordinary
man. She never says a word, just
crawls into a corner and looks out
with frightened, wondering eyes.
She's plain, little gray, forty, if
she's 4 day, and makes no attempt to
disguise it. She can't dress. Mrs.
Dwinell said it was a positive re-
lief when she decided not to go to the
reception He can't help being hor-
ribly ashamed of her. 1t seems to
me, if were the wife of a man like
DR.. Holton, | would at least attempt
to keep up with the advancement of

Mechanically, Barbara Holton
glanced at the station clock. There
were ten minutes before her train was
due. Her face was ashen. Her eyes
held the look of one who, knowing
sentence Of death has been passed,
faces the eXecutioner.
So that was the woman John had
taken in to dinner-the woman he had
described as remarkably brilliant"
The word fitted her to perfection

into the car in silence and they shot
forward into the straight, white road
stretching before them.
"Pretty tired?" he asked, casually,
after a time.
mo" she deliberated as though
weighing each word, 81 don't think
I'm tired"
"Well?' His voice was quiet.
John Holton's voice always was
quiet-and big, and slow. John Hol-
ton, himself, was quiet-and big, and
slow Until one really felt the grip

without waiting for an answer, turn

Up and up the car clambered over
an almost impassable road-throb-

it came to a stand and they found
themselves looking downward over the
valley below-outward, at towering
mountains on either side
She caught her breath.
Here, on the heights, one fact
stood clear. 1t made no difference
whether the path led up, or down;
her plighted word was Advancement,

Reaching out, she laid her hand on
