CHAPTER 96.
 The thought of Donalds practical ity recurred to Winifred Scott often through the weeks following.
 She was vaguely disappointed at the unaltered condition of affairs in her relations with the two men in whom she was interested. Now that Donald was in love with her she had supposed that he would tell her so often. Instead, except that he was perhaps, more gentle and considerato of her than ever, has manner to- wards her was unchanged.
 Richard-after the details of the finacial transaction between himself and Muir were settled-dld not re- fer to them. She had supposed that he would talk frequently of what a boon the loan had been, of her good ness in using her influence to secure it, of the work he was accomplishing with the money.
 He sought her society and seemed to enjoy it as much as ever. She wondered if he had had raise of pay, for he wore new suit and ap- peared more prosperous than before. When she asked him how his maga- zine was coming on he explained that there was a mess of detail to be ar ranged befte it could actually be started.
 You see," he said q must secu5' enough advertisements to pay for the work on the first issue before I published it.''
 When Winifred repeated this re- mark to her guardian, he raised his eyebrows.
 Why do you look like that?" she demanded. She was always ready to flare up in Richards defense.
 Like what?" he parried.
 You are thinking something you are not saying" sbe accused. You do not trust Richard. What are you thinking?"
 Since you insist on knowing" he said, T will admit I was wonder ing how any man can expect to get advertisements for publication which, as yet does not exist. People do not pay good money to advertise in a vision. my dear."
 But Richard believes so strongly in his vision that he may be able to make other people believe in it, too just as I do," the girl insisted. \"Donald-you are cruelty practical"
 'I am sorry you use the word cruelty" he protested. I am prac- tical. I must be to get on."
 But what would you have Rich ard do?' she queried.
