"They seem to believe the ones

Her thought cast about in a panic,
darting this way and that and
finally was driven back upon
itself. Changes might come about
anything happen.
Wait for fate to step in and
rescue her; that was the only way.
Nevertheless when Kingdom
Coles tclephoned her at the shop
she refused to see him.
= He invited her for drive and
dinner at one of the inns up the
Hudson, but she felt she shouldn't
accept.
"I'm sorry, King. We're awfully
busy right now"
Let me come and help you.

was perfect. A fine piece of
acting.
She sat down at the corner of
the desk. thinking of the morn
ing she had put a glass of
flowers there for him-of the
evening when she had brought a
plateful of sandwiches and laid
them down before him.
Remembering how he had
laughed to Millie about the small
deeds of kindness, she looked him
straight in the eye and stolidly
waited for him to begin.
I'm sorry Mrs. Jerome isn't

expression never softened. She

bound the girl.

vivid destiny. Caught by this un.

could do that much even though
she was only Emily Day.
Its all right DEAR" she said,
rather duly. Hell come back.
Didn't you and father do that
sometimes? Have little quarrels?
Means nothing"
Agnes frightened at once. "It's
a quarrel then, Emmy? Only

be leaving you one of these
days"

And she believed then she did.
The fine glow of sacrifice had
faded the next day but Emily
clung to the letter of her promise.
Marty said he was going to marry
her some time. Ali right, she
would do this. Walk to the altar
with him, promise to love and
honor till death parted them.
Love and honor-promise that!
A sacred thing it should be, made
with the heart. not just the lips.

1t and because he came to her arro-

She could not see that it would.

that Millie was always making

make him jealous at the same
time. Shed tell him she had
been out to lunch with Davidson

any difference to him whom she

couldn't stay out for more than
her regular hour. Miss Kress

lips. That's the worst Of men,

was so wild about me that he
didn't know where he was, and
now he's all tangled up with a

She sighed deeply and started out
of the room with her baby's
morning bottle in her hand.
Thanks ever so much for go
ing to the office today" she called
over her shoulder. "It means a
lot to me to get Beau out of this
house and into place of our

Then she came back and stood
on the threshold for one last
word.

the determined set of the little
chin. This was Sally he did
not know, his eyes said as plainly
as words.
But Sally wasn't looking at
him. Her eyes were on the glass
top Of his desk.
Suddenly she saw his lean, fine
hand reach out and touch the
electric bell at the edge-the bell
that he used. to summon the
adoring Miss kress to his office.
The door opened and she stepped
inside, blinking.
Yes, Mr.. Nye?" she asked
breathlessly, her pink nose going

said coldly, and Sally gasped. "T

Sally opened her soft lips TO
speak and then closed them again,
as she saw the look on his face.
1t was a hard, cold, tight-lipped
sort of expression.
She got up before Miss Kress
