asks nothing in return2 Is there a
love that dedicates itself 10 the happi-

OF self sacrifice. while the one who
loves glories only IN the thought Of
her devoting suffering In silence as
she sees the adored one wasting his

Roy Nicoll was driving a gang of
decorators, cabinet makers and cleo
tricians with a ruthless energy which
threatened to bring on a revolt and
tie up work on the magnificent new
offices of this magazine, woman"
Nicoll at work was a different man
from the easy-going dilettante who
took Janet and Walter Stedman out
driving in his car. There was a
whipping energy, an autocratic i'm
patience, in the man which Walt, who
had seen him only in his relaxation
would never recognize as NicolPs.
Roy's irritability on this particular
morning was worse than usual.
He had just come out of the only
other completely furnished office be-
sides his own. 1t had been designed
for Janet 1t was a marvel of aar-
mony and modernity of equipment. 1t
was studio, office and study in one.
Nicoll had lavished his best thought
and much money upon it. Yet it stood
empty of the one occupant for it on

He had just made up his mind to
fill her place with the editor of a RI
val magazine and the gang working
under his spur was feeling the full
brunt of the displeasure his decision
brought with it. His secretary APP
preached him.
"Larkin,' Nicoll snapped. "Tele-
phone Miss Latham at the Home
Journal ! want to see her Nothings
to stand in the way of her coming
here immediately"
"All right, SIR Larkin replied.
but there's a Mrs. Stedman to sec
you"
"Whatn' Nicoll cried. TIL see her
at once--in that new o1ice-thc cd!-

mind Miss Lathem!' ..:
There was an instant change in the
man. Where before was the self con-
Stunning rritability OF the man, who,
unused to being denied anything, has
been denied the one object he most
wanted there was now triumphant
relief.
His secretary ushered Janet into the
office where Nicoll awaited her. She

post he offered her had brought her
no pleasure But the irresistible
charm of the room in which she found
herself caught her up out of her gray
and lifelesS mood.
