She had no definite plan, but when sickness and misfortune had overtaken her and John Murray In thelr Western home she had turned instinctively to the old home where she of her relatives had passed away—that was one reason why she had nover een really homesick during the two prosperous years spent with John on his broad ranch In southwestern Texas, And the mortgage must not be foreclosed. Eleanor Inserted an advertisement in several morning papers, hoping to secure a position as private secretary at a salary that would at least permit her to sen‘ rome money tack to John; then she walked to Madison Square and sat down on a shaded bench, ‘Eleanor Grey, as I am alive. If ever an angel dropped from the sky, It '» you Eleanor started at the sound of he: maiden name and turned to face Dr. Barry ‘ Weston, who had attended both her mother and father in their last illness. After‘a few commonplaces, the doctor sat down beside her and explained his extraordinary greeting. * “My dear, do you remember Arthur Desmond?" Eleanor flushed. She had deen thinking of Arthur only that morning. If he knew of ker distress he would certainly help her out, unless—the old love for her was dead. “The lad {s dying, Eleanor, and for the past few weeks we nave been very cluse together. He told me of his love for you—and the fact that you did not ses your way clear to make him happy in the old days, Very often as he wakes {n the aight, his nurses say, he calls for yeu. Will you go to him?" Eleanor rose without replying, and the doctor knew his wish was granted. For a few minutes there was silence. Then he asked In a quiet voice, “Do you think you could marny him?" An exclamation rose to Eleanor's lips, but the doctor was looking stratght ahead and didn't notice. “I think he would dle more happily if you could. In fact, he told me that it was bis wish to leave you not only his money but his name. To him there ts but one woman !n the world—Hleanor Gr: And he cannot live more than forty-elgi't , hours, Eleanor flinched again at the sound of the old name.
