moment 50 that her eyes should not
betray her love and despair. Look

Morgan laughed. q deep. musical
sound that vibrated every nerve in
the girls body. Whoa That's

TO that partnership! Seriously,
Nan. dear. J couldn't give you any
thing but the best. You've earned

He was coming toward her, both
hands oUtstretched, his deep-set
black eyes very tender, when again
there was q. knock on the door.

fervently as she called Come I'M"
Pardon me. Mr. Morgan"
Kathleen O'Hsra dimpled and
smiled, as if she knew what those
two had been up to!-"but District
Attorney Brainerd is on the phone.
put him on this phone, please, -
Morgan told her. seating himself at
Mans desk. A minute later the
connection was made and almost
at Morgan's first words Nan forgot
her own problems and heartaches.
She listened avidly until her hus-
band hung up the receiver.
DRAINERD wants to talk over
ID the Nolan case" Morgan told
her. his eyes twinkling. his lean,
austere face flushed with triumph.
Hes going to move to dismiss
the indictment. I'll bet my best

Looks like it. Morgan grinned.
Knows he'll lose the second trial.
You we're right about tipping of
the press to some of the new evil

in his next campaign speech how

She wanted him to jeer fondly:
This evening! Remember, young
lady. this is our Wedding day! We're
going to forget laWyering for one
evening, at leastl" But he said
nothing of the kind. "Oh. III prob

And a glutton for love. even If
you don't suspect it. you darling

in her heart. Aloud she said: II

get baCk-John." How hard 1t was
to say that name! Il thought Id
go out to the house and see that
that everything's in order. I'D

"A good ideal Morgan agreed
heartily. but the flush deepened on
his lean face.
He did not kiss her goodby. But
he was so used to her in the Offices,
so accustomed to coming and going
that it would have seemed queer to
give her his first kiss there, Nan
argued with her despairing heart.
And after all, this was a. business
