robbing the great masses Of the peo-
pie to clean finish. The Eagle en-

evenly; "he asked me to bring this
down for your uncle" She took the
package with an incoherent acknowl-
meet his, she was conscious of how
fresh and clean and strong he looked,
dressed in livelier manner than
usual-a partly cowboy effect, with a
broader hat and gayer tie than he
ordinarily affected. De Spain kept on
speaking: "The telephone girl in the
office downstairs told me to come right
up. How is your uncle?"
She regarded him wonderingly. "He
has a good deal of pain" she answered
quietly.
"Too bad he should have been hurt
in such a way. Are you pretty well
Nan?" She thanked him.
"Stay here a good deal, do you? I'll
bet you don't know what day this isl?
Nan looked up the corridor, but she
answered to the point: you'd lose v

q look Of indignant disclaimer at him.
But in doing so she met his eyes
"Have you seen the decorations in
Main street? Come to the door just a
minute and see the way they've lighted

preston Of his eyes that went with
that tone. She looked vexedly at him
to confirm her suspicion. Sure enough
there in the brown part and in the lids,
1t was, the most troublesome possible
kind of an expression-hard to be reso-
lutte against. Her eyes fell away, but
some damage had been done. He did
not say another word. None seemed
necessary. He just kept still and
something-no one could have vaid
just what-seemed to talk for him to
poor defenseless Nan. She hesitated
helplessly. II can't leave uncle" she
objected at last. -
