Sara Overhears a Business Conference Which Presents Swain ina New and Unpleasant Light and Awakens in Her a Realization of Her Latent Patriotism. EFORE Swain had a chance to tell Sara of the steps he had taken toward securing her divorce there came @ new element into the situation. One of his big dusi- ness associates, a man whom Sara had seen about the office frequenUy and with whom Swain seemed very friendly, came to see him one morning. His name was Fruegelheim, and he was a member of a well- known dry dock company located near New York City. In her capacity as secretary, Sara was always seated in a little anteroom next to Swain’s office, She could hear every word they said. She had very little to do that morning, and unconsciously she took down most of what they eald in shorthand, From being casually interested, she became intensely so as the conversa- tion progressed. There was always something magical to her in the words BIG BUSINESS, and she very soon concluded that it was decidedly big business. Fruegelheim wanted Swain to go in with him in a private enterprise that would net them a million aplece. It was not to be a company affair this time, but a private deal of their own. That was why he wanted Gwain and his money. He could not carry the thing himself without let- tng the other members of the firm in on St, too. And for some reason that pressed anxiety on both their parts was due to financial worry. There was something so brutal about Fruegelheim's utter indifference | to the ruin he contemplated that Sara | sontracta from the Aircrft Board | CUld not keep her thoughts from the | uni & ok named Jackson—thia|SUbJect, and presently she found, to| ; last in & low voice that Sara just| Der astonishment, that her heart wa \ “managed to catch—who knew a Cab. |Deating rapidly and her hands shak- | inet member.
