It was the hour when the better shops closed, and everybody was bound homeward. Many people turned their heads to glance after the good-looking pair; the young man, tall, broad-shouldered, with curly black hair and a notable look of resolution in his dark eyes; the girl, tall also for her sex, brown-haired, peach- skinned, with that special quality of beauty that makes a man feel helpless.

That's my business.” “You have never seen him!” “I'm judging just by what you have told me about him.” “You're jealous!” she said again. “I’m not jealous; I'm sore!” Janet laughed angrily. “What's the difference?” “Plenty of difference. I’m not the fugu type. You and I can’t be wether much. Well, I don’t expect you to sit home nights when I'm not here. I've always encouraged ‘ou to have a good time, and you Enow itt” x “Then what are you fussing about?” “This guy Prescott Fanning sticks in my crop. He's not one of us. He’s too old for you; he spends too much money; he’s too slick!” “Oh, for heaven’s sake! People |». are always warning me against Prescott as if I were a school girl! I can take care of myself.” “Somebody else has warned you?” he asked quickly. “He had no more to go on than you have.” “Who was it?” “A lawyer here named Horace Kettering. A friend of my father's.” “What did he say?” “Very much the same that you have said. When I pinned him down, he hadn't anything definite | ainst Prescott.” Anyhow, I sh would en to father’ Janet did not answer. ‘Put Yourself In My Place’ RESENTLY Neill said gioomily: “Why do we have to quarrel?” She looked away. She was soft- ened, but she wouldn't let him see it. “You started it “I'm sorry for some of the th: I said... . But you x adm that I've got reason to feel Try to put x ...

Is it any wonder I’m sore?” “Don’t be absurd!” said Janet with fresh anger. “He isn’t old, and Thaven’t got my head turned!” “Don’t you like me any more?” he asked acnesg “Oh, I suppose I do. But when you make me angry, how can I feel it? What kind of a life would we have together if we got mar- ried and you flew off the handle | every time I spoke to another man?” “T don’t fly off the handle every time. It’s only Fanning. He's a crook!” “He isn’t a crook! And I'm not going to let anybody talk to me like that! I left a good home and went to work and supported my- self on my earnings so that I could be free and independent.

The one thing clear to him was that he must immediately make good his words that Prescott Fanning was a crook. Where could he find out something about him? Neill was not well acquainted in Baltimore. Janet had let fall two names. The first was Horace Kettering. Neill turned into the first. drug store he came to and looked up the tele- phone number of Kettering’s of- fice. He was too late: They told him that Mr. Kettering had left for the day. Neill then called up his house in the suburb of Guild- ford but with no better luck. Mr. Kettering was not expected home to dinner. The other man Janet had men- tioned was the manager of a well known hotel. Not difficult to get hold of him, Neill entered the marble-lined lobby of the Cecil- Calvert and asked at the desk for Mr. Bromley. “He's in the bar if you don't mind stepping in there,” said the clerk. Neill didn’t mind. It was easy to pick out Mr. Bromley where he stood in the bar with a group of friends, because with his immacu- late grooming and his air of fellowship he looked like nothing in the world but a hotel manager. It occurred to Neill that he had better conceal his hand in this matter, so he ordered a drink and watched his opportunity. Presently Mr. Bromley strolled jaway from his friends, As he came nodded to him shion. (said Bromley. by, , Neill friendly fa: “Hello,” ow , ou? “Walter Patton is the name.

G. FLINT le oa e of my Key West who have heard of a “New Eng- land conscience” might like a de- finition. The dictionary says that | | conscience “a sense of right” and the New England brand is that plus the strength of wi'l to live up| to it. This is the story of a man who lived up to his New England tradition, proving its worth—and his, tho it broke his heart. A young man sat at his desk in the Massachusetts House of Rep- ‘resentatives, fresh from a small- town law office, He was eager to win honors and inspired with his obligation to his constituents. An jold fox among the legislators, no- ,ticing the deal of the new arrival. invited his signature to a bill op- posed to a presidential third term, to be proposed to Congre The oung man read, approved signed the document—which was never acted upon. ! Years after, the man who had set his name on paper as opposed to a third term, was himself Presi- dent of the United States. His ambition had not grown less with the years and prosperity had fol. lowed him in 6ffice. His enemies dug up the signed document, thinking to use it as 9 lever for power. They did not not reckon on the New conseienee of the man in White House. He might have been elected to a third term. He was urged to run; some thought to “draft” him for office. But he had given his carefully considered word on the subject, years ago, and his word was good. His reply to his friends was regarded as mysterious then, but time has made the meaning of it clear, He simply said, “I do not choose to run.” In those words died h ambition, and death took a step closer.
