 It was all clear now. There had been something of it in Milos eyes. The whiphand look. Evidently, he had expected when their fortune was swept away that she would come crawling. But she wouldn't. She despised him. She despised his father. All of their kind.
 Oh, what a deSpicable revenge. She knew so little about busi- ness. But she knew that her father had counted upon the friendship and financial support of this man to carry the company through disturbed conditions. She guessed that what she was seeing was what her father had meant when he had said once: Our company is like the Rock of Gib- raltar. Oh, guess it could be smashed. But I don't think 1t ever will be-"
 T never dreamed that you would fail me- her father was saying now, heavily. You know what 1t means. That the others will follow. They've always fol- lowed you, Montanne. And the l moral effect will be as bad as the financial loss. It will bring every big creditor we have bowling at the door. All because, for some reason I can't understand, you are refusing the matter of compara- lively small company loan. It wouldn't have been needed, If that strike we had hadn't been so pro- longed."
 Tt would have been @ risk" ] Montanne was answering. And sometimes a risk seems not worth taking. A $2,OO0,000 loan isn't just pocket change, you know"
 He was being deliberately ugly, Jill knew. , She moved 8 little, to see her fathers face closer. There was nothing but despair there. He had always been so good and noble. He'd been like the Rock of Gib- raltar, himself. But the rock had been struck some devastating blow, and was going down.
 And then Jill knew what she must do. She reached back to the door. Opened it, closed it loudly.
 "Who is there?" came her fa- thers voice.
 Jill, gay mask on her face, desolation in her heart, walked quickly into the study.
 Dad! MT. Montanne! To think of finding you two here together. I was looking for you, dad, to tell you first. But it's wonderful to find Milo's father here too. Both of you can congratulate me. Milo and are going to be married.'
