A large desk was pushed between the
two windows and on, this desk were two
pictures, one on each end.
Nancy was curious about these pic
lures. 1t seemed incongruous that a
man of Bruce's type would show enough
sentiment to have pictures of any kind
In his room, and hastily looking to see
IL the coast we're clear. Nancy sped Into
the room for closer look.
The mans picture was evidently
Bruce's younger brother. They had the
same straight, clear-cut features, only
this mans mouth was weaker, and his
eyes kindlier. The woman was the most
beautiful thing Nancy had ever seen.
She was as Trix would some day be,
and there was an allure about her face,
a fascination that made her doubly at
tractive.
Fearful lest Bruce return suddenly,
Nancy hurried out. but the thing puz-
zled her. Since Bruce hated Trix so
cruelty why did he have those pictures
of Trix's mother and father on his desk I?
It was all very strange and mysterious
and Nancy wished with all her heart
that she could unravel the mystery.
In the hall she met Bruce and her
heart leaped suddenly into her throat.
Ought she to speak 10 him? Would he
expect it? Certainly. after his treat
ment Of her she owed him nothing at all.
but she hated to pass him by without
any sign Of recognition. 1t seemed so
childish.
He settled the matter by noddinz to
her curtly, and she returned the nod
with q slight lift Of her chin. She had
an impression Of dark. flashing eyes
turned on her as she passed. and she
realized dimly why It was that he trou-
bled her. 1t was the strength of his
personality. the dominance that brooked
no interference that made her conscious
of him in spite of the fact that every
thing about his nature made her dislike
him the more.
Nancy had been about to GO out, but
inasmuch as Bruce had returned she
turned back to go TO the room where
Trix was asleep. AS she did so, she al :

Miss Mary swung along the country
roads, a pretty glow in her fluffy,

There by the red-painted gate stood
Dick.
They shook hands formally, although
the heart of each was beating at an

Mary nodded.
And the two of them set off across

first through n clearing. then through a

And Mary realized that it led directly
toward the railway station. Suppose
that they should meet Eve and Julian

to meet Julian in the car. They were
coming back by the high road, and not
on foot.
At first Dick and his young com
