The letter from her he held today

It was a direct, personal appeal, tender

CHAPTER VII.
An Old Perfume.
FOR
uiue years Stuart had re
fused to see or speak to Nan.
He met Biveus as a matter of
course, but always downtown
The one matter of grave importance
to vrhich he was giving his time out
side bis office was bio position as ad
visory counsel to Dr Woodman in his
Buit for damages against the chemical
trust which bad been dragging its
course through the courts for years
To his amazement be bad lust re
reived an offer from Bivens' attorney*
to compromise this suit for $100,000.
He would of course advise the doctor
to accept it immediately He had
never believed he could win a penny.
What could be Bivens' motive in
making such an offer? It was Impos
sible that the shrewd little president
of the American Chemical company
had anything to fear personally from
this attack. His fortune now could
not be less than $40,000,000, and the
Issue of such a suit as the one Wood
man had brought and on which he
had spent so much of his time and
mosey was to Bivens a, mere bagatelle
It might be Nan—It* must be! Her
letter surely made the explanation rea
sonable. She knew this suit was an
obstacle in the way of their meeting
During the past winter she had be
come the sensation of the metropolis.
Her wealth, her beauty, her palaces
and her entertainments bad made her
the subject of endless comment. She
had set a pace for extravagance which
made the old leaders stand aghast
Her worldly wise mother had been dead
for the past five years.
He was waiting the arrival of Wood
man for a conference over Bivens* of
fer of compromise, and be dreaded the
ordeal.
So the little weasel has offered to
compromise my suit for half the sum
we named, eh?" the doctor asked in
triumph.
"1 assure you that If the case comes
to Its final test you are certain to lose."
"8o you have said again and again.
my boy," was the good natured reply,
"but his sudden terror and this offer
show that we have won already, and
he knows it. Bivens has seen the
handwriting on the wall. When the
American people are once aroused
their wrath will -sweep the trusts Into
the bottomless pit."
"Bivens isn't worrying about the peo
ple or their wrath."

"1 had hoped you were tired of fight

"I'll fight this battle to a finish and
I'll win. If God lives I'll win-I'm se

The doctor paused and his eyea
flashed.
"I'm so sure of it that I'm not only
going to refuse this bribe from Biv
ens, but my answer will be a hardet
blow. I'm going to begin another big
ger and more important suit for the
dissolution of the American chemical
trust"
Stuart slipped his arm around the
older man with a movement of in
stinctive tenderness.
"Look here, doctor, I've lived In youi
home for fourteen years and I've
grown to love you as my own father
You must listen to me now. 1 can give
no time to your suit. I am just enter

Tremendous issues are at stake."
"You'll go down a wreck if you fail."
"Perhaps, but It's my duty."
"Good boy!" the older man cried,
seizing Stuart's band. "You can't fail
That's why I'm going to risk all in
my fight"
"But the cases are not the same."

proud that I've known and loved you,
and tried to teach you the joy and the
foolishness of throwing your life

With a wave of his hand the stal
wart figure of the old man passed out
and left him brooding in sorrowful
silence.
He seized his pen at last, set his face
like flint and resolutely wrote his an

On the night following Stuart work

be presented to the grand jury. His
facts were not as strong as he ex
pected to make them.
At 10 o'clock he quit work and hur
ried home to refresh his tired spirit

a handsome young fellow just emerg

Stuart pretended not to notice the

dreaming and watching the rhythmic
movement* of her delicate hands he
began to realize at last that his little
pal, stub nosed, red haired and free

was twenty-four now, in the pride and
glory of perfect young womanhood,
and yet she had no lovers. He won
dered why. Her music, of course. It
had been the one absorbing passion of
life. And her eyes had always spar
kled with deep joy at his slightest
word of praise. For the first time it
had occurred to him as an immediate
possibility that she might marry and
their lives drift apart.
A sweet comradeship had grown be
tween them. He resented the idea of
a break in their relations. Yet why
should he? What rights had he over
her life? Absolutely none, of course
Who was that fellow? Where had he
met him before?
He rose with a sudden frown. Sure

Stuart said, with a studied indiffer

"Do yon love him. girlie?"

"I just don't like him. and I don't

pal, I'm your guardian."
"Are you?"
"Yes. And I'm giving you due legal
notice that you have no right to marry
without my consent—you promise to

A soft laugh, full of tenderness and
