It's a disgrace to our polities! - But aside from that, I'm worried on my own account. T loved my work. T loved the opportunities it gave to mc to—to help a little tiny bit in the work of the world. ot to mention money. Heaven only knows where I'll ever get another job at fifty a week. They don’t grow on trees.” ‘Well, vou'll have to do like other wives—let your husband support you, for a while anvhow, till you can look around.” “Of. of course”” answered Janet impatient] “But that puts us right back financially to where we were be- fore we married. We only hurried up our marriage because my position in Mr. Temple's office gave me such a splendid chance to contribute half to the making and keeping of our home. And I did so want Walt to have his chance at play writing and story writing. I've urged him to quit his advertising grind and launch out into free-lancing. With me earning a plump salary—that was his oppor- tunity! So many people go through life without ever having their oppor tunity, Roy. I want Walt to have his But now, of course, it’s out of the question. He'll have to stick at his salaried job."” Nicoll thought it wouldn't hurt him | any to do so. But he kept silent out of consideration or sympathy or pity or friendship or—or whatever he felt toward Janet Stedman. Roy had never deliberately analyzed what emotions he did feel for her. He was not given to introspections. When Janet was Miss Thayer and worked in his office years ago he had not al- lowed himself to become avowedly in- terested in her, however much to her charming face, magnetic personality and exceptional intelligence had lured him. Do Troubles Ever Come Singly? IPor she was a girl, and a drl. And Nicoll was an achelor, handsome and handsome inanced. Tnnumerable experiences 1ud taught him to be wary of the fe- 1ale of the species. He shied at narriage.

By some miracle (as Roy thought) she had retained all her pretty feminine qualities while tak- ing on the poise and confidence given by her business life, Perhaps it was greatly to Roy N coll's credit that he was usually more than ready to go out of his way to have Janet Stedman’s company. He knew prettier girls. en springht- lier girls. And widows. And many married women, voung and—not so voung. All were willing to entertain him with less reserve than Janet.

But the 1lie in which he had left me ranked. I meant to tantalize a little longer, so with the mos ingratiating smile T could manage I followed up my protest with a que “Did you catch a trout, Dicky? “Risky Business Though.” My liege lord opened his mouth to retort angrily.
