good, after all, would all my fussing do?
For l had seen Nita's eyes, as she had
sat there with him before the fire.
RRUSHBY'S last morning was put
forward few days, because of sum-
mons to New York. On the morning of
that day, Nita came to breakfast looking
like stage sunlight when the calcium

savagely over my coffee, to cry for that

my arm about her. She cried on my
shoulder.
1T seemed that Nita and Brushby had
had tea together not often, but
several times it had happened; and
sometimes mathematician as it
were. But the night before last Nita had
telephoned to Mel, breaking an engage
ment for the evening. Mel had brought
her some roses, had entered the library
to scribble some after-thOught to her, and
had faced her and Brushby, with litter
of books about them. 1t wasn't nice

roses, and left the house. Yesterday he

aI've been eavesdropping. Has Boy

Office when he appoints this meeting?"

THERE is something about the faces

in a motor, on yacht, or with women
and their faces are flexible, responsive,

of men-wary, calculating, thrusting, par
rying, quick of eye, but masked.
There were the four men in the office
of Wade & Wallace: Northrup and Boy
land, the fencers; Brushby, so to- say,
the holder Of the stakes; Mel, the UNI
pire. And for spectator.
The last to arrive was Brushby. Il
looked at him eagerly. confess that /

ness, that lack of care for business detail,
which l. have. known sometimes in the
makeup of the great enthusiasts whom
l have trusted most. And when / saw
his face I9felt a quick relief He seemed
casual, preoccupied. Ifound myself look
ing forward to Charley Boyland's failure
to impress that bright preoccupation. )
They went over the facts. Mel, whose
simplicity and dignity had never more
admired, was the spokesman. North
rup followed. He had his plans. He ex-
planned to Boyland what he meant to do
twenty-five thousand-which he pro-
posed to invest there. Boyland listened,
hunched, squinted, impervious.
4All very interesting he said. Il
hadn't happened to hear what you meant
to do with the property. Personally, /
mean simply to hang on to it as it is till
a Chicago company of mine gets ready
to build. Meanwhile, it's good payin'

Northrup turned to Brushby.
"Mr. Brushby.1 he said, II assume
that you are familiar with the workmen's
cottages in England. assume that you
have seen your own property here. You
have heard what propose to do with it,
and what Mr.. Boyland plans. What is
your own idea?'
Brushby was still preoccupied, even
absent. When he spoke his voice was so
round and full and thick that it made
the others sound like fat tires.
Gentlemen, he said, Il dare say that

ferent angle from you

explained to me, "I've concluded to do it,
he added, buoyant as boy.
"The block doesn't belong to Dawson,

Ravens held the mortgage, and he bid it
in, through our firm, month before he
died.
Northrup stared.
"Then who does the block belong to
now?" he asked.
at belongs, said Mel, "to that nephew
of his, John Brushby."
"That reformer chap!' cried Northrup.
"Good enough Mighty good. He'll be
hot for this deal of mine, II warrant you.'
AT this, and during our visit to the
Dawson block, my heart thickened up
to the general consistency of lead. saw
once more that look in Nita's lifted face
as she had stood before Brushby at Mrs.
Havens' And now Nita's father was
about to launch this dream of workmen's
cottages-as hint, surely, of Brushby's
new order. What more natural than that
Brushby and Nita should put through the
detail together, plan it together, dream it
together, Nita all the time growing dam
gerously nearer to that man?

Brushby owns it I'm all right"
Brushby again! Was it Nita's destiny
that was here a-weaving? Must we all
keep out? Were Nta and Brushby
