before -the-'ceremony.
The young mai heard and hin
heart beat wildly. Would the time be
long enough to rave her?
Noon of the next day came, but
the steamer had not yet landed,
though the news from her was good.

and they were going forward happily
in the whirl OF the last things.
But Michael in his lonely Office
hung up the telephone receiver with
a heavy heart. There would be no

doubtful now, was it likely the man
would listen at this the last minute?

her f1ance could easily persuade him

fool! \
As he sat thus with bowed head
before his desk, he heard footsteps
along the stone floor Of the corridor
outside. They halted at his door, and
thesitattng fingers fumbled with the
knob. He looked up frown!ng and
was about to send any chance client,
away, with the explanation that he
was entirely too much occupied at
present to be interrupted, when the
face OF, the woman who opened the
door caught his attention.
