Nan"" John LY| Curtis Morgan greeted his n net ary cheerfully on Tuesday morning. “Look! I'm wearing the tie you gave me. Best-looking one I ever had." Nan Carroll rould have burst into tears with relief. The two days i-ii.ee she had seen him had been a period of almost intolerable suspense. Her mildest nightmare had pictured him alone on Christmas day. deserted by his wife for his “best friend:” her worst fear had been that lie might bo lying dead on his living room floor, his sightless eyes turned toward the portrait of the woman who had betrayed him. She had actually not possessed the courage to read the papers. "You always say that!" she forced her trembling lips to retort flippantly. hoping that her eyes did not too shamelessly betray her. The cravat of dark-blue and sil-very-gray striped silk did suit him amazingly well. “Yes. I had a nice Christmas." she lied. “I've been trying to frame ? letter that would adequately express my thanks for the roses and the check, but—” “Don't, be a goose!” Morgan interrupted brusquely. “I'm so indebted to you for your help on the Grace Cox case and the Crawford case, to say nothing of all the other cases, that all the thanks passed between us should come from me. Consider the hundred a salary bonus and not a tenth of what you're entitled to." He passed on into his private office. and Nan sat staring at her typewriter, the tears, which she had had to control in his presence, slipping hotly down her cheeks. Her need to resign, to get away from the man whom she loved so much and so hopelessly, had become a desperate pain on Christmas Eve. when his roses had been delivered to her and the sight of his handwriting on the card and check

THE NEW Saint-Sinner BvJlnneJlustin ***&*^*x*u*~

'•Not until ho kisses me can I tell whether I want to be his wife or not.” Crystal had told herself at dawn that Sunday morning, and then had gone to sleep, relieved. But now that the test had come, and George Pruitts hungry lips were fastened hard upon hers in the honorable kiss that comes after an honorable young man has made a straightforward proposal of marriage. Crystal found herself utterly confounded. At first she had quivered away from that test kiss, but after a moment. when she had yielded to that hot. eager pressure, she felt his passion kindling a response in her own too-quiet blood. The kiss she had not wanted suddenly became precious to her and she involuntarily prolonged it. •Happy, darling” George asked, and his voice sang. “Wasn’t Dad the sly old rascal, though. I believe he knew I was in love with you before I knew it myself. “You see. beloved, he's been pretty badly worried about me. My being so—devoted to Faith, you know. He knew T wanted to marry her before she married Bob Hathaway, and while we haven't talked about it. he knew I didn't get over it. and I could see it bothered him a lot. He's relieved—" Crystal stirred in his arms and George mistook her restlessness for the agitation of jealousy. How could he know that she was snatching at a straw to save herself and him "Forgive me for mentioning my love for Faith, if it hurts you. sweet.” he begged, holding her so t’.ghtly she could scarcely breathe “But—l cant lie about Faith. I loved her fo> three years. I'll always love her. I horte. but it's you I want now as my wife. "I don t love you less because I've loved Faith. I think she taught me how to love, though she never loved me. Don't you see. dear? You shan't be jealous of Faith, ever?'* ‘‘Never!’’ Crystal answered sadly, for she suspected that if she really loved George Pruitt her heart would be swollen and hot with pain. He klssedJier again, and she suffered him to do so. but this time there were no dizzying waves of emotion. There was nothing, noth-

which had acenmpanipd' them had made her ill with too great joy. B B B 'T'HE buzzer on her devk sounded. A Nan dabbed furiously at the tears on her checks, snatched a powder puff from the top drawer of her desk and covered the traces of her self-pity: then took notebook and pencil and went into him. smiling. . . . A tew minutes later, when he was dictating ?fcth a day-after-Christ-mas leisureliness and tendency” to irrelevant conversation. Bert Crawford charged into the private office without knocking. !"Hel!o, Jack! How's the greatest rriminal lawyer in the United States? By golly, you're certainly a demon for work! Why 7 don't you knock off for a few days? Hello, Nan! Happy New Year!" Morgan frowned slightly. For the first time Crawford's blithe badinage seemed to annoy him. Anything special. Bert? We re pretty busy this morning.” Crawford laugher boisterously and slapped his friend on the back. "Nothing very special, old timer. Just thought I'd get rid of a scrap of papier while I was in the neighborhood.” And he drew his wallet from his pocket, abstracted a check, and ostentatiously laid it before the lawyer. "You wouldn't give me a bill, old man. so I let my conscience be my guide." •Twenty thousand!" Morgan exclaimed. I should judge then that you had a very troublesome conscience!” “Twelve good men and true said not guilty,’ ” Crawford reminded him, laughing good-naturedly. “But, seriously, old boy, you've earned that and more too. and I’ll be glad to make the cheek bigger if you'd let me.” “I toid you there wouldn't be any fee, Bert." Morgan frowned. “This business cost you dear enough. God knows.” “Fortunes ol war. Jack!” Crawford shrugged. “I'm not down and out yet. and T never will be. If you don't want the money, give it to Iris. A woman likes to have a little fortune of her own tucked away in the bank.” Morgan's face lighted up with the tenderness which his wife's name always evoked. “That's not a bad idea, Bert, if you insist on paying. IT open an account in her name today. She'll certainly be surprised and pleased. Mighty decent of you.” But Nan. sitting quietly, with pencil poised over her notebook, did not for a moment, believe that it was “decent” of Crawford. He was either being diabolically clever or insolently caddish. If he was really going to run away with Iris Morgan. Bert Crawford would not lose the $20,000 so greatly presented to the man he had used and deceived: he and Iris would have every penny of it. in addition to the quarter of a. million that Crawford had stolen from the Mid-West Packing Company. And if he was not going to keep his promise to Iris, was planning to abandon her as he had doubtless abandoned many other women, then this $20.000 —a small sum to a man who had a quarter of a million salted away—was a cad's way of cancelling his love debt, And John Curtis Morgan—blind, trusting darling that he was—thought Bert Crawford was “mighty decent!” “I didn’t like to throw a damper over the Christmas gayeties yesterday. but the fact is. Jack, that I'm going to shake the dust of this man’s town from my heels.” “What!” Morgan exclaimed. “Isn’t that hasty decision, Bert?”

ing but a dreary hope that the kiss would be quickly over. “If I were worthy of his love,” Crystal thought wearily, "I'd be big enough to tell him now, no matter how much it might hurt him. that I don't love him. But—oh, I can't bear to hurt him yet! First Faith, then me—” But George was talking again, his lips close to her face. "As I said, Dad's immensely relieved that I've fallen in love again. I think he's been afraid he'd have no grandson to carry on the name. Selma bids fair to be a spinster for the rest of her days, and he’d given up hope for me. I could hardly believe my ears when he came right out and told me I'd better marry my model—my darling model.” and he kissed her again, but lightly, for he had great things to tell her. “You know, sweet. Dad's worth a scandalous number of millions. Want to hear w hat he's ready and eager to do for us?” (To Be Continued.!

CRAWFORD shook his handsome blond head emphatically. “No. old man. I’ve been mulling it over since the blow ffell. The Mid-West. Packing Company is bound to bust. It'll be in the hands of a receiver by the first of the year. And in spite of the fact that I was acquitted. my name won't be any too fragrant in these quarters. •■l'll move on to fresher, greener lands. In fact, I've already sent in my resignation and signed over my stock, whatever it may be worth, to help reimburse the poor devils who will suffer most from Bland's rascality—the small stockholders. I'll make a fresh start somewhere else. Go it's good-by. Jack. . . . No. that check! Give it to Iris, like I told you! I/>rd man. I'm not a pauper!" “You're really leaving?” Morgan insisted inereduously. “When?" “Today.” Crawford answered. “On the 2:45 eastbound. Don't ask me where I'm going, or what my plans are. T don't know myself yet. but I'm keen to get away.” Morgan, still frowning, nodded comprehension if not approval. “Have you told Iris good-by?” This is going to be a blow to her, Bert. She thinks a lot of you. I'm not much good at playing around and whooping it up. and she loves it. I'm afraid she's going to find life pretty dull for a while. ...” “I'm going to have lunch •with her at the Traylor and break the news then.” Crawford admitted candidly, his blue eyes flicking a glance of triumph at Nan. She no longer had the power to keep him from seeing Iris Morgan, his mocking eyes reminded her. “But don’t you worry about Iris, old boy. She'll bear up under the loss of her playmate too well to' suit me. By the way. I’ll tell her to meet you at the bank at half past two, if you're really going to open an account for her with that check.” “Thauks. Bert I wish you would.” Morgan agreed, a little stiffly. It was obvious that he was a little hurt at not being included in the luncheon invitation. “Now r .” thought Nan, her narrowed brown eyes trying to probe the tricky mmd that lay behind the smiling blue eyes of Bert Crawford, “just what does he mean to do? Is lie going to take her with him or not? Would he have had the audacity to come here and say goodby to her husband if he were taking her? And if he doesn’t take her, what will Iris Morgan say and do when she learns that her lover has left her $20,000 as heart balm?” ana AT 2 o'clock, after Nan had returned from an almost untasted luncheon. Morgan shrugged into his overcoat and announced cheerfully—a little too cheerfully so that Nan knew he was still hurt: “I'm going to snatch a bite to eat. Nan. and then, step over to the bank to meet Mrs. Morgan. If she calls up, tell her 111 be there at a quarter to 3.” Nan had to watch him go, unprepared for the shock that, might be awaiting him. If. after 3. the hour the bank closed, he came back to the office troubled and bewildered, with the news that something must have detained Iris, since she had not met him. then she— Non—would know that it was alll over, that Iris had taken the train with Bert Crawford. What would he do, oh what would he do when he learned the truth? Her fingers were so cold with nervousness that she could not type. An hour to be lived through! Wasn't there some way of annihilating time? Desperate, she invaded the private office where Evans, the clerk, and Blake, the young lawyer on salary, pursued their uninteresting duties. “Well, what kind of Christmas did you boys have?” she demanded with factious cheerfulness. Listening to their lengthy replies mercifully consumed almost half an hour: three telephone calls providentially disposed of nearly 30 more minutes. She was just hanging up the telephone receiver when Morgan’s shadow loomed against the glass panel of the door. She braced herself to meet what- ; ever his beloved face might reval, but as the door opened s'he heard Iris’ musical, artificial laughter. “Os course I'll spend it! What Is money for. silly old Jack! . . . Hello, there. Nan! You've heard of my sudden wealth, I suppose? Wasn't Bert a lamb to make Jack give it to me? And now this stupid old husband of mine wants me to let it lie in the bank, accumulating interest. I've been dying for a trip to New York and now I can take it. . . . No. you can't come along. Jack, and if you aren't awfully nice to me I won't come back.” “Oh. don't look at her like that, as if you could kiss her feet!” Nan wanted to scream at Morgan. “Don’t you realize that she's warned you?” (To Be Continued)
