But hr. so pitifull’, unprepared, had told her to taj while he read his letter from his wife. And now. before she had time to collect her wits aid make an excuse to go into her own office. Morgan was drawing the crackling sheets of expensive notepaper from the big square envelope addressed m fris’ handwriting. Out of sheer decency and pity she j did close her eyes, so that when he looked at her—as at length he must —he would think that she was still concentrating on the Lois Downs mystery, would be grateful that she ! had not seen his face before he had time to control it— Nan never knew how long she -at there, with her eyes screwed tightly shut and her mind reeling drunkenly from though to thought. However long it was. there was no sound at all lrom the man who sat • less than two iect, from her. until 1 his voice, unrecognizable in its restrained hoarseness, called to her: "Nan—” “Yes. Mr. Morgan.” She tried to make her voire sound normal cheerfully expectant In case he was looking at her. she blinked her eyes rapidly and smiled. But the bit of acting was unnecessary. The man's long, thin body "as hunched forward against his desk, his face shielded from her ■ight by a cupped hand. His words came jerkily, with the ound ol labored breathing between 'lirases. "I'm sorry -but I don't ! i Slink— I'll work any more—tonight, j Tomorrow—” But he could not drag his voice past that word, which can he the most terrible in the English language. b b n XT AN could loci in her ov n hr.

Wlicn Crystal hnd pokcn. Georges body sagged as if the life had suddenly gone out of it. His hands were so limp that her own were no longer between his palms. She drew them away, very gently, but she might have snatched .them and he would not have known. Suddenly his body grew taut, and before she knew what he was about to do lie was bending toward the dashboard, switching on the ignition of the car. Just as impulsively she thrust out a hand and reversed the key. The siartcr. upon which he had crashed down a foot, chugged twice, then was still. “Please. George!'’ she bogged, tears making her voice rough. “I'm —so awfully sorry—and sad. Don't make it harder for both of us by refusing to talk. I want —” She would not have recognized his voice as he answered roughly: What's the use. Crystal? I've loved again and failed again. I shan't try another time.” “Might as well acknowledge that for some reason—pretty obvious to ethers. I guess—l'm not a man a woman can love. That's about all there is to be said, isn't it?" "No!" she cried. “Because it's not true! You've asked only two women to marry you. Two failures mean nothing. Don't you think I was tempted, that I could picture howwonderful a husband you would have been? You'll be glad I didn't marry you. George, when you find her. wherever she is " “Rot!” “It is not. George.” she pleaded. Why. I'd want to die right now if I didn't believe that somewhere my man is waiting for me ’’ Do you have to talk about him now.” he asked savagely. “Yes. I do! To make you understand. I wanted to marry you, George, wanted to almost enough. So did Faith. Because you're—a \cry wonderful person, so much bigger and finer and stronger than I am. But—we don't belong together so inevitably that nothing under Gods’ sun could have kept us apart, once we'd met. "It's got to be like that for me, George, or I'll have missed the biggest thing in life. And to have married you would have been to cheat you of that biggest thing." As he was silent, she groped in a long yrr. fnr ronvineln'T word'

meant —days stretching endlessly ahead— The need to annihilate those two feet of space between them that small, yet infinite distance that had always separated Nan Carroll, private secretary, from John Curtis Morgan, employer and married man —became such an unbearable ache that the girl was impelled to her feet, was bending over him. her arms outstretched in a passion of tenderness and pity to clasp his beloved head to her breast, when Morgan straightened in his chair. Nan's arms dropped to her sides. She stepped backward just in time to prevent his head striking her. Thank God. she hadn't betrayed herself; he hadn't seen. He would think she v.as simply leaving the room as his implied bidding. . . . "I apologize—for accusing you—--1 of curiosity, Nan—” Amazed, then more profoundly moved than she had ever been in her life, Nan halted on her way to the door, waited, scijreccly daring to breathe. He was not buckling up weakly under the blow. Not he! Not he! Oh. she might have known he would be like this. . . . His voice was jerking on: "But I—want, you—to know. I'm afraid I can't—talk about, it—jet. Will you—read this letter, Nan?” n tt a jn'ROM the expensive pale-gray sheets rose the faint but unmistakable odor of Iris's favorite perfume, a fllagon of w hich had been one of John Curtis Morgan's Christmas gifts to his wife. Now its seductive odor was helping Iris to i-nslaec the senses of another man. . . . Hot anger cleared Nan's vision. Her eyes leaped down the page: "Dear Jack; I am not coming back. You must have suspected for a long time that I did not love you. My chance for freedom lias come at, last and I have taken it. You told me the 520.000 was mine to do with as I pleased, and I am using it to start life over. You must not worry about me, for I am safe and happy. If I told you my plans you would try to find me. and that you positively must not do. “Os course I wanted to take Curtis with me. but I know how deeply you love him. and I did not think it would be fair to take your son from you. I know that you will take the best care of him and that you will not teach him to hate me. No man could have been a better husband than you. Jack. It is not your fault that I do not love you. But it isn't mine cither, is it? Do one last generous thing for me. Jack: Do not try to find me. It would be worse than useless. Iris.”

NAN'S first reaction to the letter was a deep, quivering breath of relief. Whatever her motive—and Nan knew that Iris Morgan had - oc been actuated by pity—the deserting wife had not mentioned Herbert S. Crawford. Morgan was still spared the supreme humiliation. He need never know now that the man he had called his friend, and whom he had defended against a criminal charge, had been planning all the time to use the freedom which Morgan had won for him and the money he had stolen to run awa • with his defender's wife. Fo; that Nan was profoundly grateful. But oh. the diabolical cleverness of the woman! In a red flare of '’“lf"!', flan saw Iris's motive as - rly as if Iris had written if out ” r '~'■ fled pc (script. mentioned Crawford, or anonymously, as

“George. Rhoda Jonson has just become engaged to Ben Grayson. It was a revelation to see them together. They belong so absolutely. And they know' it deeply. I want that same sort of belonging. Cherry and Nils belong—” George Pruitt snorted. “Oh, I know Cherry flirts and makes a little fool of herself.” Crystal conceded eagerly, “but threaten her with the loss of Nils and she’s wild. “She'd murder for him. lie for him. steal for him—but she won't give up flirting for him. until his patience is exhausted and she is about to lose him. Faith and Bob—" "For God's sake!” George groaned. ”1 wasn't going to say that Faith and Bob belong,” Crystal assured him. "I'm not so sure they do, for hc loves her a little less, at least, than she loves him—which isn't periectly belonging. “There don't seem to be many of those i>erlect. inevitable matings, but I want one! If it comes. I must be free. If it never comes. I hope I'll have the courage to go lonely to my grave. So please— thank me for not marrying you, George—for your own sake!” (To Be Continued)

tlie man who had won her love from her husband. Morgan would have hunted down his false friend, and the despoiler of hi: wife, if it had taken him the rest of his life to do so. Iris must have been sure of that: if not. Crawford himself, standing over Iris and censoring the lettrr she wrote, had taken no clv’iices. •"lie had not even dared suggest that her husband get a divorce, for fear he would jump to the conclusion that she wanted legal freedom in order to marry another man. And how cleverly the letter had been -'worded, to appeal to every generous ana chivalrous instinct of the deserted'husband's nature! "No man could have been a better husband than you. Jack. It is not your fault that I do not love you. But it, isn't mine cither, is it? Do one last generous thing for me, Jack —" Oh. the bitter, cruelty of her holding his love! making demands upon it, even as she flung it back at him as a burden she could no longer bear! BBS M ORGAN'S swivel chair creaked as he straightened his bowed back and squared his shoulders slowly, like a man adjusting hilusclf to receive and carry an intolerably heavy load. The faint sound aroused Nan from the welter of emotions and speculations into which Iris’s incredible letter had plunged her. She stepped softly to the desk, laid the stiff sheets of notepaper upon the edge of it. She must say something, of course. ... It was to his friend, not to his secretary, that he had shown the letter. . . . “I'm—sorry. Mr. Morgan.” Her voice was husky and rough with tears. “Is the:anything I—can do? I'm so—terribly sorry—” Nan hated words then; they were such silly, futile things. If only she could touch him, hold his head against her breast, so that he could feel her heart throbbed with compassion and love. But that was silly, too. Only one woman's arms ana love could comfort him now. “Thank you. Nan. I—thought you'd—better know. Sorry to distress you.” He did not look at her as he spoke, in a flat, dead monotone. “I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do just now. Good night, Nan.” The ache to touch him was too great to be borne. His right hand lay clenched upon the desk, the knuckles gleaming whitely through the tightened skin, and before and scrclion could stop her. her own hand went out. fell gently upon his, her little cold fingers pressingtight for a breath-taking instant. Sire was about to withdraw her hand after that fleeting contact when Morgan's fist unknotted and his long, thin fingers reached up and imprisoned hers.

Tht-re was no spoken words between them, as Morgan's hand clung to Nan's, the grip of his fingers almost crushing hers, but if the man had only known it. one woman was dedicating her heart and her life to his service, while he was striving to realize that another had deserted him. When his clasp was loosened, Nan withdrew her hand gently and slipped from the room. She knew he wanted to be alone, but when she was putting on her hat she realized that she could not leave him yet. It would be like leaving a man to sit up alone with his dead. She removed her hat. then tiptoed silently about her office. If he found her working he could not be so very angry with her for staying. The court stenographer’s transcript of the prosecution's testimony against Lois Downs lay on her desk. She stared at it for a long minute, her fingers pressed into her throbbing temples. What tremendous discovery had she been upon the verge of making when Iris's letter had come? The Lois Downs case seemed vastly unimportant and far away now. but—her conscience jerked her up shortly—not unimportant to Lois Downs! Tomorrow morning John Curtis Morgan would have to go into court, to fight for the life of the pretty young nurse accused of poisoning her patient. There was, after all. something that she could do. She could help him go into court certain of victory. His work and his son were all that Iris Morgan had left him. Eagerly Nan drew the bulky transcript toward her and began to read, pausing occasionally to jot a memorandum upon her notebook, and at other times to dash tears from her eyes. a u a AT a little after 11 the door of Morgan's office opened and Nan looked up. startled and apprehensive. to see him standing in the doorway. Twice, during her career as private secretary to Morgan when he had been district attorney, Nan Carroll had seen convicted murderers receive the death sentence. One man had sunk to his knees after the awful words had been spoken, and had been half dragged, half carried, sobbing like a hysterical woman, from the courtroom. (To Be Continued)
