There was scarce- ly a chance, now, that Cunningham or his attorney, Greaves, would learn of Nellin's death.

Brent settled this point in his mind without hesitation and also decided to sce Helen as soon as It would be necessary, now that his plans were changed, to start undoing the campaign he had been at pains to conduct in the past—his campaign to win Helen to unswerving allegiance to him and blind acceptance of his wishes. He had been highly satisfied with it but he foresaw that it 'was going to be a bit difficult to make his past atiltude fit the one he must as sume for the present. . But that, again, was a hazard that he must accept. No game worth playing w2s without risks and hazards, in Brent's opinion. Helen, when he surprised her by coming unannounced, welcomed him with delight. His manner to- ward her was just a shade more familiar than before. But he said nothing to her, then, of the story he meant to tell her when she grad- uated, As that event loomed nearer Helen grew radiant with.expectancy and happiness, Brent had, grad. ually, dropped all aloofness in ex- change for a manner that Helen be- Neved promised the fulfillment of her dreams, She felt herself dis- ps all other interests in his Together they would travel all over the world, and whether or not that glorious day ever dawned on which he would tell her, with new meaning, that he loved her, she could never be unhappy again.

Brent sensed that she was strug: ling to suppress her emotion. He took: the wheel firmly in his left hand and laid the other over hers where they rested on her smart cord bag. “Happy?” he asked softly. “So happy I'm afraid,” Helen an- ewered, “But my dear, if you only knew what your life really should be like I'm. afraid you wouldn't be able to contain yourself.
