Now Go On With The Story

"A thought, slipping it into the
pocket of her serge dress that was
becoming very shabby and as shiny
as glass at the elbows. $50 may
as well wipe the whole thing off
of the slate and forget it."
She would never speak of the
brooch to Monica, she made up
her mind. For, after all, Monica
was what she was-and she
couldn't help being Monica Mont,
gold.digging, slangy, cheaply
clever, any more than spider
could help being a spider.
''Poor thing!' Bobbie went on
thinking. 'She probably never
had anyone to teach her right
from wrong" For ever since
she had heard Monica speak in
that common, gutter-snipe way the
other day, she had known exactly
what kind of a girl Monica was.
Probably she had come from some
back alley slum somewhere, and
pulled herself up from its depths.
And it certainly was something
in her favor that she had sent
back the brooch.
''Now, 1 can sell it to Gus. Or
at least borrow some money on
It," she said to herself. I'll tele-
phone him as soon as I've read
Andy's letter"
A Warm Glow
Andy's letter. A warm glow of
happiness spread over Bobbie as
she tore open the long narrow en-
Velope. 1t was good to hear from
him. 1t was almost like the sound
of voice from home in her ears,
the touch Of warm friendly hand
on her shoulder.
"And yet I don't love Andy. Not
q bit really" she thought. But
1 do like him-more than 1 like
anybody"
That was it. She liked Andy,
but she loved Gus MacCloud.
To like person you had to ad.
fnire him, respect him, trust him.
And she respected and trusted
Andy.
But love, 1t seemed, had moth
ing to do with admiration, re.
spect, and trust. 1t was a feeling
that thrilled you when you
thought of the person you were in
love with. And you didn't even
have to look up to him in order
to love him. You loved him in
spite of his faults.
At least that was the way Bob.

But as she read it, she began
to doubt that she really liked

she did not feel friendly and warm
toward him, as she reached the

She carried all her little bum

them neatly away in the white tin
box on the shelf in the cellar way.
The kitchen was very bright and
quiet and clean and cozy. The

in a brilliant pool on the scrubbed

MOST TRAGIC
MAN

HHANCE plays smaller part in
~ life than son1e people think.
The least beginning may lead to
the greatest end. Every day, hour
and minute, men are building, or
neglecting to build.
Events that they attribute to
luck are nearly always due to
some act, thought or purpose long
since forgotten. Frequently,
worthy beginnings of the least
promising kind have led to conse-
quences beyond the widest hopes
or dreams. There is only one
really tragic figure in life, and
that is the man who never makes
