No argument Is required to prove the dentr

It ho much at touch tho tip of Its golden flngort
to lighten tho common burden? If so bo It,
when und where? The country was wonder

Often nt this time I wor.dercil If
over a woiniiii had so pcrploxlng a

of bunlnen.n wero obliged to resort to
such expedients as Nell appeared to
'consider necessary to win succesa. I
thing It mud be by neomlng not to
drlvo him, and he had treatod me
so coldly sluco thn letter episodo 1
hud not much hope of holng ablo lo
coax him.
X worried tinlll I looked III, nnd
aunt wan unxlous about me, al
though I assured her I was all right.
Noll still preserved hla, atlltucto of
coldness, but somehow f did not feel
quite so resentful sdnco I had heard
him declare tliuf nu ono could my
nuugnt of father h quiet, uneventful,
canceled exllunce. Of men 1 He-
Mr. Powers tp whom nil looked up,
and whoso namo was a eynonym for
honesty and siiuuro dealing. Tlton
of Mr. Frederick, hla blunt honmty,
his habit of calling " a spadu u
spndo" iim hu so often cxprcsMed It,
und of how even Nell admired his
rough goodnenn and probity. Then
1 would think of Nell, tho jnnn I
loved, Iho father of my boy, und long
with all nty heart and miul to havu
him like theso .others.
I had been very proud of my
hadmiiiQ liustund's sticces.H. Very
blind to tho manner of Its making,
t had been very happy also nt first.
Now all of this was changed. I
wan no longer so proud of his suc
ecHsj no longer i u 1 1 r so blind- And
I wns no longer happy. Tho up
heaval had been urudual hi a way,
but It had come, , '
Now my ii hole inlml wan fixed
upon saving my husband from the
mortifying blame of the public, lie
,in mi bouMtfully proud of his uuc
cct.M, KO iimbllloii'. to beconio ono of
tho rich niett of tho city, that It
seemed teriibln to mc that ho should

Hlancho Orton. J nut cbacMcd with
thn idea that. It I hail received hla
frlumltj pcrhupa. 1 could havo pre

pened, even though 1 was unaware
Just what it wo. You sco not oven
yet did 1 understand about Nell's
htitilncKtf, never had ho explained tho
sllghteat transaction to mo.
Hudiicnly a thought canto to me. I
would- show Nell that 1 too could
bo a "good' follow" us I o often had
heard him describe. Hlnticho Orton.
It might not bu too late for me lo 're
trieve my mistake In driving hlni to
m.iki! her home, not mine, his place
nf meeting men who preferred to do
hiislncns over a dinner or supper
table to the morn conventional way
-if nt a ih.hi'h office,
Wllh this thouuht In mind I tele
phoned .Mr. Fredericks
"Can you tell mo when tho nxt
dinner Is to Cinno off nt Mrtf. Or
ton'H?" I aukcJ.
. "Yes on. tomorrow night," a
world of wonder lit his voice,
"Thank you." And after a llttlo
denultory tnlk I hung up.
f had been thinking about What
he had xnld about .Mr. .Scott, I knew'
whero .Mr. Meott's office was. und
milking tnytk'lf asnttractlvu as pos.
slblo I wont down to tho building
In which It wail located. I would
waylay him when he went out to
luncheon. I hud heard Nell HJy that
"ono could set his watch by Hoott's
luncheon hour" so If ho wero In
town I had no fear thut f should
havo to wait long. I scarcely hud
tnlioif a position where I could fen
