you here? It's g sight for sore eyes
to look at you again"
He checked himself in his garrulous
speech of welcome and scanned Min
mas face more carefully.
"What's the matter?" he demanded.
"You look ill.,
I'm not ILL.," she made weary an
swer. "I'm only tired and unhappy.
Miserably unhappy. I've come to you
for advice and for rest. You were
right about Ioveless marriage. And
you were right about Henry Wilkins.
He and I have separated"
"You poor, dear little grill" Tom
was saying to her in quick sympathy
when Olive came into the office.
Olive heard the words and the tone
of tense feeling in Which they were
spoken. She saw and misread Minna's
look of gratitude toward her old en-
ployer. And the Green Dragon leaped
into undisputed possession of her
heart.
= 'You remember Minna, don't you,
dear?" Tom hailed his wife. ''Well,
she's all run down and in bad shape.
She is coming to stay with us here
till we can build her up again. And
as much longer as we can cajole her
into staying"
Olive bowed freezingly to the Wis
itor, ignoring the 1atter's proffered
hand, then made an excuse to leave
the Office.
Once outside, Olive broke into run.
Nor did she pause until she was in
her own room behind locked doors.
Throwing herself face downward on
the bed she yielded to a spasm of
wild weeping.
All her olden jealousy had once
She struggled for self-control, decid-
ing to say nothing; but to watch the
couple without rousing their sus-
picions and make certain whether or
not her fears were justified.
AS she formulated this resolve she
got up, crossed the room to the wash
stand and began to battle her redly
swollen eyes. A tap at the door made
her turn the key in the lock. Tom
came in.
"What allied you" he asked, "to run
away like that, without even word
of welcome for Afinna? She's hurt at
the way you greeted her. She thinks
you don't want her here. But I've ex-

rage from Tom Olcott. Forgetful of
his own weakness and remembering
only the affront offered to the girl he
loved, Tom had sprung from his chair
and hurled himself bodily upon the
swearing longshoreman.
With his one available fist Tom
landed q blow on Hirsch'S face that,
ordinarily, would have sent the brute
to Sunderland.
The longshoreman grappled with his
feebler. opponent, seeking to crush him
under superior weight.
Tom, holding his own as best he
could with the prowess of his tired
left arm, felt his partly healed right
shoulder blade break again, under
the conclusion of Hirsch's fist. Stung
to fresh wrath by the pain, he drove
his left fist once more into Hirsch's
face.
Before he could follow up the blow
the orderlies threw themselves be-
tween the combatants.
Tom opened his eyes in his own
slant, he fancied he was back again
at that first hour of his arrival there.
For Olive Hale was leaning above
him, her flowerlike face alight with
pity. and admiration. Duly Tom
noted that she was very pale and that
she had been crying.
"Oh, how splendid Of you'll" she
sobbed. "You are hero to have at
tackled that great brute for my sake y
mo" denied Tom, unsteadily. "Not
a hero. A dub. A hero is chap
who wins. A dub loses. lost. You're

der.
'It is because I'm so ashamed of
myself" wept Olive. ''Ive treated
you SO abominably. Those darling
flowers you sent me and ALL What
business was it of mine if you're en-

claimed Tom. "Why, what nonsense !!

glad triumph in his voice. "Were you
unhappy because you thought I cared
for Minna Blair?"
"Yes. Yes. And because"
He reached upward with his unhurt
left arm and drew her face down to
his.
After awhile, when they had ex-
hausted the beautiful inanities of
loves sweet litany, Olive drew back
and said with timid seriousness:
"Dear, / have confession to make.
I've a fault-a grievous fault-that
has stood between you and me from
the first. 1t is-jealousy."
'Don't let that worry you, little
girl" was his light answer. Jealousy
is no crime. It is sign of love-"
cit is a crime, Tom," she insisted.
"And it's not sign Of love, but of
distrust. Love and trust ought to go
together"
The next few months were period
of absolute happiness to the lovers.
Toms shoulder soon healed, under
Olives careful nursing. But he did
not go back to his physical culture
school. Instead he branched out in
a business venture that was sue
cess from the very beginning.
With his own savings and some
money that Olive had inherited, he
opened an institution for wealthy
health seekers-a place somewhat
similar to Muldoon's or Adams.
Tom and Olive were married, with
splendid prospects for lasting financial
success, and settled down to blissful
life together in wing of the new
Institute"
Olive made a gallant fight to keep
her promise not to be jealous. And
for time she succeeded admirably.
When Olive saw him take hold of
pretty woman's two hands and
show her how to swing pair of In
dian clubs, she was in misery.
She surrendered herself utterly to
the fault of the day when Minna
came to the institute.
Tom was sitting in his Office that
upon him. He looked up in amazed
pleasure at sight of his former as
sistant.
"Why, Minna Blair-Minna Wilkins,
I meant" he cried, hurrying forward
to greet her. "What good wind blows

THIRTEENTH STORY
The Goad of Jealousy.

When Tom Wolcott came to his
senses, in the hospital, his first
thought was that he had been trans
ported to Paradise.
For, above the injured man, leaned
someone who surely could be nothing
less than an angel.
Presently she moved away. And
Tom Olcott, closing his bloodshot eyes,
tried to think-to remember.
Little by little the events Of the
day drifted back into his confused
mind. He recalled going, as usual, to
his physical culture school; chatting
a moment with Minna Blair, his splen-
didly efficient assistant; then going
into the gymnasium where the first
class of the morning awaited him.
He remembered showing one Of his
more stupid pupils an easy trick on the
rings" Then, as he had swung from
one set of rings to the next, he had
heard the swapping of a defective
rope. He remembered plunging down.
ward; far beyond the friendly shell
ter of the mat, headfOremost on the
hardwood floor.
While he was digesting these I'M
pleasant discoveries the vision in
his sight growing clearer, he saw she
was no fever-born apparition, but
trained nurse; also that she was the
very prettiest and most winsome girl
he had ever beheld.
Even in the pain and deadly nausea
that gripped him, he felt queer thrill
of delight as his eyes met hers. He
wanted to tell her how beautiful she
was. But an impulse of sanity
checked him and he merely asked:
"How did I get here?"
The nurse replied:
'YOu were injured while you were
conducting a class at your physical
culture school. A Miss Blair, who
said she was your assistant, tele-.
phoned here for an ambulance and for
a private room for you"
"GOod old Minna % he said, family.
"She's a brick. She always knows
what to do- How badly am I dam
aged, n1rse?"
mot dangerously, at all, Mr.. Olcott,"
was her CHEEKY answer. "But your
collar-bone is fractured, and so is your
right wrist. And you are suffering
from shock. There was conclusion of
the brain, too. But you've come very
nicely out of that"
"What is your name?" he asked
with an almost, childish bluntness.
my name is Olive Hale" she made
answer, adding with mock severity,
land now you must stop talking and
try to get some sleep. The more rest
you get the sooner you will be back
at helm in your physical culture
school. And the sooner you can see
that pretty assistant of yours again."
Tom half-imagined there was a
tinge of bitterness in Olive Hale's last
sentence. But he dismissed the no.
ton as too idiotic for belief, and said:
"My pretty ASSISTANT You mean
Minna Blair? Why, Minna isn't es-
pecially pretty. At least, if she is,
never stopped to think about it. We're
both kept too busy at the gym, Min
ma and /, to bother about each others
looks. But she's a brick. She's per-
fectly fine. / don't know how I'd get
on without Minna. She"
"You must not talk" Olive inter
rupted.
The weeks of forced idleness that
followed would have been torture to

presence in his sickroom. Daily his
love for her grew stronger and deep
er. Daily he had more ado to choke
back the avowal that surged to his
lips.
Had he been able to read the girls

restrain his love words.
