eighth installment Then he saw, lying on the table, one of Nancy’s gloves. It lay there, holding the perfect form,of Nancy’s hand—like a thing alive. He blushed up to his hair, his eyes fixed on it. "Sit down,” he said formally, drawing forward a chair that was not Nancy’s. "You spoke of Kingdon. What’s wrong with him?” Helena laughed bitterly, refusing the chair, her green eyes on him. "King’s reading Voltaire now—I wish he had some real work to do beside sitting in the back room at the bank on great occasions. It’s awful to be rich and idle and hang around all day reading French. My father and my brothers all worked; I’m not used to idle men. Richard, I’ll quarrel with him dreadfully if he doesn't go off for golf. I want you to send him.” Richard moved over to the mantel and rested his elbow on it, shading his face. "I can’t urge any more of it, Helena. King’s not strong enough this 6pring. Be sides, he’s just gone for the tour nament in Washington, hasn’t he5 He told me so. You both ought to go to Europe.” She stared at him, startled. Then a slow hot blush went up over the long ovel of her face. "I didn’t know he was ill, she said slowly, watching Richard. "He’s not ill—he’s got a weak heart, that’s all—I’m taking care of him.” "Keeping him alive?’’ she look.d away. This was not what she had come to say: her heart was stormy now. She put her hand suddenly on tihe glove. "That’s Nancv Gordon’s,” she said defiantb’. "You’re in love with that girl Rich ard ! ’ He turned tdward her, meeting her glance coldly. "Do you want me to prescribe for you or King to-day Helena-' he asked shortly. She stood quite still, her eyes fixed on his. For a momnt. the very force of life seemed suspend ed, her green eyes were glass, she barely breathed. He had never seen her like this before! Then suddenly she began to laugh wild ly, hysterically, choking back her tears. "Oh, how funny! Your blush ing, Richard,” she gasped. "1 didn’t mean anything. Prescribe for us, both, do! I’m an awfully good patient, you know it!” He smiled grimly. "No, you’re not, but here’s a prescription—it’s for nerves, Helena,” he added cool ly, holding it out. She caught her breath, his anger seemed to burn its way through to her consciousness, but in a mom ent she controlled herself. "I’m sorry I offended you, Richard,” she said, with amazing gentleness. Pie nodded. "You haven’t.” She gave him an odd' look, her hand on the door. "Oh, yes, I have—but I didn’t think of you— I was sure that Nancy Gordon was engaged to Page Roemer. She is. isn’t she?” Richard held the door open for her gravely. I suggest that you ask her,” was all he said. Helena laughed, but she said no more. She stood a moment- look ing back at him. An unhappy woman, unhappily in love with him, and he knew it. -?c * Mrs. Gordon was sitting in the old wicker rocking chair, by the library windbw, her hands lying idle in hre lap. She could not idle in her lap. She could not had cried over Jloddv until her eye lids were puffed and her eyes ached. He was safe, she knew it, but— now that she knew he was safe— she began to feel the disgrace that his mere rescue from jail could not wipe out. Her boy had stolen money! The escape from punish ment did not sponge out the sin. She had borne him and she had reared him and he was a thief. His father called him that and she cringed from it as if she had been struck a blow. She wanted to cry, to throw herself into some one’s arms and cry like a girl, but Mr. Gordon was not receptive. He was there. He had come in from the bank and was sitting grimly upright in his chair, read ing the paper. mu.,., u„u i-_,u.„. U-if an hour when she heard the fami liar sound of the gate and started up "Papa, it’s Nancy!” He laid his paper on his knee. The broad afternoon light fell full on his worn face and his wife was shocked. They heard the door open, a light step, and Nancy came into the room. She was very pale but her blue eyes shone. She came slowly toward them and stood still. "I don’t want you to worry any more,” she said abruptly. "I bor rowed that money from Richard Morgan. Roddy and I will pay him back. I—I married him yes terday.” Her mother dropped back into her rocker, speechless, but her fa ther rose. His face turned gray. 1 ~ -- "What kind of a girl are you?” roardcd Mr. Gordon—"What did you do,” "What did you say?” he de manded. "I said' I married Richard Mor gan yesterday, in Washington, be cause—because he gave me the money to save Roddy.” "Where’s Roddy?” Mr. Gordon’s voice shook, "where is he now? He had no business to take that money from you!” No one answered him and he broke loose in terrible denunciation. All the pent-up misery found vent. He made no bones about If. He spoke the truth as he saw t, spoke it brutally without seeing ts effect. The storm of his wrath swept . aver Nancy’s bowed head like a lurricane. She clung to a little rable in the center of the room: "What kind of a girl are vou?” ■oared Mr. Gordon, "what did you Jo? Go down there and tell him ,'ou’d marry him for fifteen thous ind dollars?” "Yes.” Nancy fixed her blue eyes on her father. He was so amazed that ais mouth hung open.

Sold at drug stores. had been a random one; that lie had hit the bull’s eye nearly pros trated him with horror and dis may. "Good Lord!” he said below his breath. Then he rallied himself. "I’ll wire Roddv, I’ll make him confess and bring that money back—it isn’t his to pay in. I’ll—I’ll— he sputtered breathlessly. "You can’t,” said Nancy, "he’s put it back; he’s not going tc confess and go to prison now!” "He shall—I say he shall!” Mr. Gordon slimmed an old chair back with such violence tdiat he broke a leg off. it toppled over helplessly and fell into the corner with a crash. Roddy stayed in jail for life than to have him take that money! Can’t you sec that your daughter’s sold herself?” he appealed to his wife. There was a terrible ve hemence in his tone. "Where’s that man?” he swung around on Nancy, "where’s Mor gan?” "He came home with me—he’s in his office now. We—wc haven’t told any one—he wanted to come here with me, but I—” "I should think he’d better come here J\ke a man. I want to ask him if he thinks he’s living in 1 grandfather’s time. I reckon old Morgan bought his slaves about the same way—only cheaper!” "Papa!” his wife almost shrieked now, "Papa, vju ought to be ash amed of yourself!” "I am, I’m ashamed to have such children.

"Let him alone Mama; it’s true! Only1 a minister married us ir chinch. It—it wasn’t an auction Papa.” Her father snorted with fury "True! I reckon it is! There’s one thing I’d like to say to you, though,” he added with sudden and terrible courtesy; "if you’ll permit me, Nancy?” She choked back a sob. "It’s this—” he took a step nearer, striking his fist flat on thi table—"you’ve sold yourself darn ed cheap!” She gazed at him speechless. "You’re young, you’re strong, you’re good-looking, you ought to have made a better bargain, Nancy. I’ve heard my father say that a pretty slave girl always brought a big bid. You’re too cheap!” "Papa!” Mrs. Gordon rose from ucr man, lamy luiut;-iig un iitri feet, but snatching at hei hus band’s coattails. "Don’t you see that—that you’re killing the child?” He swung free of her with an angry swish of his garments, a mild-mannered man beside him self. "She can stand it.
