BEGIN HERE I'OPAV Tin’ marriage of Doily ami Nigel Bretherton jproves an unhappy one. When war's declared Nigel is glad to enlist He leaves Dolly under the care of Mary Kurnival. Nigel is killed and Dolly marries an old sweetheart. Robert Durham. Dolly and Robert sail for America and word comes of the sinking of their ship When Nigels brother. David, vails to see Nigel's widow. Mary is ashamed to tell him of-Dolly's marriage. David mistakes Mary for his brothers wife and asks her to come to live at Red Grange with him and his aunt Mary as given ale arty welcome to her new home by David and his 1 aunt. David takes Mary ior an auto ride and gives her a lesson in driving. NOW GO ON WITH Till; STORY H""* - " El{ eyefc sparkled. “Whenever you can spare "■! the time. I should love another?'' “Tomorrow* morning, then?" “Yes, please.” There was something very childish in the answer. David laughed. “Do you know that you lumind me of a little girl at a party who has been told to bo on her best behavior?” he said. She colored faintly. “Do 1? I’vo never been, to a party." “Really?" He looked amazed. “Yes, really. You see. I've always been poor—always hail to work for my living, until —’’ "Until you married Nigel”—he finished for her. She said nothing. During the last few minutes she had forgotten her deception, forgotten everything hut the enjoyment of this ride. Now memory came surging hack to her like an engulfing tldo. “I have often wished, since T came home, that I’d done more for him,” David went on, “There was such a heap of money lying idle; I'm afraid I was mean with him.” “He used to say how generous you were. He always spoke as 1" he thought the world of you.” David sat in moody silence. He hardly spoke again till they were hack once more at the Red Grange. He got down from the wheel, and, turning, held hiR hand to Mary. “You look all the betAm for your drive,” he said. s quite a color in your enjoyed

it. too it isn't often I fed iike tea, but I must say 1 do today." He followed her into the house. “Have you got any tea for us Aunt Florence?" David asked, putting his head round the drawing room door. ‘We're .is hungry as hunters.” He turned to look at Mary, but she btul gone. H<> went quickly forward into the room. “THANK YOU, NO; I LL LOOK IN AGAIN .THIS AFTERNOON." "By the way,” he said, with apparent Carelessness, to Miss Varney, “don’t torlta to Fisher just at present. We’ll wait a while, till Mary has got more used to us. She won*# he wanting strangers here yet." “I’ve just written, David.” David frowned. "Well, tear the letter up. I’ve changed my mind; we’ll ask them later." “Very well! dear." Miss Varney answered resign ed*v, but her eyes, behind their glas i, looked anxiously once or twice at David. There was a sort of youthfulness about him this* afternoon that she could not remlnhr having noticed before. She as, ed an apparently irrelevant question:
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
“And do you think you will like •Mary being here?" “Why?” He did not look at her as he answered her query with the little monosyllable. "I was only wondering," said .Miss Varney. "It will make a great difference in our lives, you know, David. We've always been so quiet, just we two together." David looked down into the heart of the fire. “VcK," lie said presently—almost wonderingly—"it certainly will make a great difference in our lives." CHAPTER XXIX A Puzzle Henry Evans thought a great deal about Mary during the days that followed that good-by at her flap and the more he thought of her the more puzzled and interested he grew. She had told him in the first place that her name was Mary Furtiival, although with his own eyes had afterwards seen that the la on her luggage was addressed ‘Mrs. Nigel Bretherton." Young Evans had an exceedingly good memory, anji lie remembered perfectly well that Mrs. Nigel Bretherton was the name she had first given him by which to inquire at the shipping of flees for the friend who had been drowned in the Multane. The whole thing was very perplexing. When the opportunity arose he questioned Miss Adams, .the typist, about the Brethertons. She had grown very friendly with him lately; sometimes he walked part of the way home with her after office hours, and once he had taken her out to tea* “The Brethertr ns are quite big pots, you know,” she said one day,’ when EJvans had skilfully guided the conversation round to them. 'They’ve got a fine place down in the country called (he Red Grange. Mr. Fisher often goes there. He and David Bretherton —that’s the eldest son—are great chums; they do say that r ime day Miss Fisher will Mrs. David.” A A matter of fact she lia 1 never heard such a thing suggested, hut she had put two end two together out of the little she had seen in the office, and had made a very' shrewd four out of It. "There’s no heir, now- Mr. Nigel is dead," she explained, with the air of one who is entrusted with family secrets. "He never had any children, you know. I wonder how she likes living down at the Red Grange, by the way?’ "Who?" “Why. Mrs. Nigel. She's gone to live there, you know. I saw the letters Mr. Fl3her wrote about settle-

ments. that's how l know. A bit of a change for her, I should think." Evans opened his lips, and then closed them again determinedly. “Didn't you say she was very pretty? he asked presently. "Yes—auburn hair. I just love auburn hair.’ “Auburn hair!” Evans chord in amazement. "Why—" He broke off. “1 dont care about auburn hair,’ he finished, lamely. Miss Adams sniffed. "You’ve got no taste, then." But Evans did not answer. He felt a little thrill of excitement. Mary' had not had auburn hair; he remembered every detail of her sweet face and coloring, and, much as he admired her, he did not think that the de: ■ -iption of “very pretty" in the !e. t described her. He sat silent for a noment frowning. Miss Adams watched Kim with faint wonderment. "Why are you so awfully interested In the Brethertons?" she asked, with abrupt suddenness. "You never knew any of them did you?” “No—how could I? Only as one was killed at the front it makes them rather interesting, and —” he stopi>ed. Someone had opened the outer office door, and walked into the room. Miss Adams glanced round; Evans rose to his feet. A tall man stood in the doorway, looking from one to the other Inquiringly. "Is Mr. Fisher in? Oh, good morning, Miss Adams." Miss Adams smiled and simpered: she was pleased to be so recognized in front of Evans; she thought it might Impress him with her inrq>ortance. ~ “Good morning!" she said. Phe scraped her chair back along the floor, and rose. "Mr. Fisher is out just at present, hut he’ll he In shortly.” She glanced at a. watch-bracelet on her wrist. "In about half an hour, l should think. Will you wait?” The tall man shook his head. ‘Thank y'ou, no: I'll look in again this afternoon. You might tell him I called?" lie went away, shutting the doorafter him. Evans swung round on his stool. “Who’s that?" he asked. Miss Adams answered, with a tine show of unconcern: “That? Oh, I forgot you didn’t know; that’s David Bretherton.’’, “Really!” Evariß looked deeply interested. "1 say, what a fine-looking man, isn't he?” Miss Adams tossed her head. , "Think so? He’s too lanky-' for my taste; 1 like broad -shoulders." She glanced at Evans coquettishly, but the inference was wasted on him.

“He often comes up here," she added. I know him quite well.” She waited, but there was no comment forthcoming, and she fell to clicking the keys of the typewriter rather irascibly. So that was David Bretherton! Evans wished he had had a better chance of- looking at him: it seemed strange that Mary was living under that man's roof. Mary, who filled his thoughts waking and sleeping: Mary, whom—in a wild moment before he knew who she was —he had dared to love in his young dreams. A poor clerk in love with David ! Bretherton s sister-in-law! He stifled a sigh, and went on copying letters half-heartedly; things were very unfairly divided in life, he thought, with a faint sense of resentment. CHAPTER XXX Dora's Plau Evans managed to be in the office when Bretherton called again; it was he who showed him into Mr. Fisher’s room. He wondered with a touch of humor, what this tall aristocraticlooking man would say were he to dare to pluck up courage and ask after Mary? He could imagine the way he would he withered and snubbed, and yet—he had once been a real friend to her in her distress, and who knew but that the chance might come again? He wondered what the two men were talking about behind that fast-

shut baize door: the incongruous thought flashed through his mind that perhaps some day there might be an attachment between Mary and Mr. Fisher. t was surprising how that thought hurt him; he tried to dismiss it as being ridiculous. But in Mr. Fisher's private room he and David Bretherton were - speaking of Mary at that very moment. "And how do you find the arrangement works?" Monty Fisher was asking David interestedly.
