Maisie Lester, looking sadly at her
iance. There were tears In her big
gray eyes, and Frank Rhodes felt a
sudden sting Of shame a. he per-
ceived them.
He was twenty-eight and Maisie
twenty-five, and they had been en-
gagged four years. They ought to have
been married long before, but Frank
was what his folks called 4 "ne'er-do-

upon the nrst rung Of the ladder Of
success. He had been . clerk In half

the elements that make for financial
affiuence.
Maisie was q stenographer. and be-
tween them they made exactly forty
dollars a week. Frank would have
married her on that, but Maisie had
enough worldly wisdom to refuse.
