He's a. charming host. Will you talk to him a minute?" “In just a moment." Morgan answered. "The Governor seems very favorably disposed to commuting Brownlee's sentence from death to life imprisonment, but he wants to i have a talk with Dr. Ashley—the! alienist, you know. I've called Ashley's house, but he s out of town and won’t be back until noon tomorrow. I wish you'd get in touch with him then personally and persuade him to make the trip to the capital. His expenses and time will be paid for, of course. Put it to him strong, that it may be within his pow er to save (he life of poor Brownlee. But I van depend upon you to get jjim | litre.

I?” "Go as far as you like, just as long as you don't adopt that boy of mine in my absence,” Morgan laughed. and the sound was the purest music in Nan's ears. “I’d like to speak to the brat now, if he’s still clamoring.” Curtis scrambled into the chair in which Nan sat. "Hello. Father!” Curtis piped shrilly in the voice he reserved for telephone conversations. “Betcha life! . . . Oh, Little Pat! He says it all the time. . . . Sure! I'm going to sleep with Nana in one of •he man-and-wife twin beds. . . I didn’t tease, either!” indignantly. ’Sure! Me and Nana and Cop’s having a swell time. Listen. Father —make Nana stay here all the time. She works for you and she’s gotta do what you tell her to. hasn't she? ... Aw-w! .. . Say. Father. I wanna collar and a leash and a muzzle for Cop. ... A red collar with brass studs all around it, like Jimmy Powell's police dog's got. Oh, hello, Benny! I goPa police dog puppy named Cop! You can play with him when you come to see me. . . . Goodby!”

It, was as sudden as that. One minute Crystal Hathaway had not known there was such a man in the world: the next she kqew that she had laid eyes upon her man. This passed through Crystal’s mind, in lightning Rashes, while she was rising from her chair and surrendering the desk and typewriter to him at his rather ungracious request. And all the time, her wide, hazel eyes were locked with his brown ones. He seemed as unable as she to break the spell, but instead of being glad that his eyes were Riled with her. held by something, too strong for understanding, she saw that he was angry, even furious. Also—and she marveled—more than a little frightened. It was very queer and unreal, yet the only real thing in the world at that moment for Crystal Hathaway. They said things—polite murmurs on her part, gruff apologies and mutters on his—but afterwards Crystal could not even remember them. They had not mattered. Nothing mattered but that sudden flame that played between them, that electric current that leaped from hazel eyes to brown. Whether it was a long time or a short one that the deadlock held Crystal never knew, but it was a harsh pain in her heart that it was he who broke it. dropping his long, thin body into the chair and plunging a furious, distracted hand through his thick, tousled black hur. As Crystal turned away, dazed, shaken, she heard Henry Blaine’s voice hailing the newcomer: ■’Say. Grant, what about that Peabody divorce? Did you see a copy of the wife's complaint or of old Peabody’s counter complaint?” So this was Colin Grant, the reporter who had net appeared for his assignments that morning, the man about whom another reporter had said: “Guess he’s blown. Harry. ’Bout time." Crystal repeated his name—Colin Grant, Colin Grant, Colin Grant. It had the same sort of inevitability about it that that queer current of electricity had had. Os course he would be named Colin Grant! Above the tumult of her thoughts she heard his laconic, uncompromising "No!” He had already flunr sa incredibly long leg across his type-

He slammed the receiver upon the hook and faced Nan. his liquid black eves shining with excitement. Father's going to bring me a collar and a muzzle and a leash fpr Cop. . . . Say. Nana, what’s your face so red for?” I—ought to shake you. Curtis Morgan, but I'm going to kiss you instead.' Nan told him. laughing shakily. u a ut TJENNY HOGARTH S coming to -■-* see me." he chattered, as they again ascended the stairs. "His grandpa's the Governor of this stato . . That means he's the boss. | don't it Nana?. . . What's a state?" Then without giving Nan time to instruct him in civics, he clattered on Benny's mothers dead. He lives with his grandpa and his grandma in the executive mansion. . ’ What's a 'xecutive mansion? It i looks just like a house. Oh look! Estelle's brought up my blue silk pajamas that father gave me for I Christmas. Your pajamas are pink 'ilk. Mother wears silk nightgowns with lots of lace. She says they're more fem-i-nun. What's fem-i-nun, Nana?" “Listen, brat,” Nan laughed, as the bov began, with proud independence, to shuck off his day clothes. “Wouldn’t you like to go to school and find out the answers to all your innumerable questions?” “Sure, I want to go to school! Public school, where the kids play football and baseball. . . I can read a lot already. And I know two times four and two times eight. . . Say. Nana, can I go to public school?" ' That’s the big new' idea,” Nan assured him. turning her head away for a moment from the lieartbreaking sight of his thin little body. It was up to her to see that there should be eventually—and not too eventually! a little paddling upon that pitifully exposed little skeleton. “I'm going to take you to public school tomorrow' morning. Little | Pat’s going to live here, over the , garage, with Big Pat and Maude. I You and Little Pat will go to and from school together and have all afternoon to play in the yard wuth Cop!” “Gee!" Curtis breathed, his; black eyes enormous w'ith delight j and satisfaction. "Then I ain’t going to have a nurse any more, j Nana?” “Not if you'll prove to your father ; and me that you can take care of j yourself,” Nana said, choosing her : words very carefully, so that no hint of unpleasant threat might . reach the child. “You see, Curtis, a nurse is supposed to see that you j eat the kinds of food that will make j you big and strong, so that you can I play football and baseball when! you're bigger, and to sec that you bathe and wash your teeth, and things like that.” “Little Pat says they have a health chart in public schools, and you write down on it when you’ve had a bath and washed your teeth and eat cereal and spinach, and everything.” Curtis explained, with the lordly air of a child who finds a grown-up strangely ignorant of j vital matters. “And Little Pat’s on the health chart honor roll, and Little Pat never did have a silly old nurse.” “You like Little Pat, don’t you. i honey?” Nan asked. “Oh. sure, he’s all right, He’s .iust kind of bossy, because I’m littler than he is.” Curtis conceded cheerfully. as he climbed into bed.

writer desk, was crouching over the machine, his two forefingers pecking at the noisy keys with amazing speed. Crystal sank into a chair between Grant’s desk and Harry Blaine’s hardly conscious ot what she was doing. She did not even reflect that she should leave, that the ensuing interview between city editor and negligent reporter should be a private one. Harry's voice was surprisingly conciliatory, even anxious. "Couldn't catch the lawyers, eh? Too bad—” Colin Grant did not raise his black head, kept on typing. “Trying to fix me up with an alibi, Harry? Sorry, but it’s no good. I didn't trv to get the story." "Why?” Crystal clenched her hands as she waited. Even though it was her first day in a newspaper office, she knew that a man’s job was at stake. In five more minutes Colin Grant might be fired, and she would never see him again. Her eyes blazed upon Harry Blaine. She hated him now for what he might do to her through Colin Grant. iTo Be Continued.!

THE next morning was filled with activities. Curtis insisted on wearing his plainest and stur- : diest suit and overcoat to school—- ] “so I can play with the kids,” he : explained to Nan, but the girl suspected that the child was actuated by instinct —if he were better dressed than the other children, or at all picturesque, as his mother had delighted to make him. his prospective playmates would shun him and deride him. The brisk, middle-aged woman principal was not at all flurried by the application of John Curtis Morgan's son for enrollment in the first grade. The child was 6 years old, the second term of the school year had just opened that week—so of course, here he was! It was as simple as that. By half past 9 Curtis Morgan had been assigned a desk among fortyodd other pupils, and was sitting in it, looking solemnly pleased with himself and his new world, and Nan had a list of the books and supplies he would need. “He looks like a bright little chap, Mrs. Morgan,” the first grade teacher, Miss Anderson, commented as Nan w'as about to leave Curtis to the kindnesses and the cruelties of the public schol system. “I’m Miss Carroll, a friend of the family. Mrs. Morgan is abroad,” Nan explained. “In fact, Miss Anderson, I’m Mr. Morgan's private secretary, and I wish you’d communicate with me, in care of Mr. Morgan's office, the Sanderson building, if you have any special problems or difficulties with Curtis. He’s an only child, you know, and . . .” “Os course. I understand,” Miss Anderson agreed. “The maid will call for him today, but after this one of the boys will see that he gets to and from school safely,” Nan added. She w'aved to Curtis, but apparently he was afraid to appear demonstiatice and therefore a sissy, for he acknowledged her farew'ell with a stiff little nod of his head. “So that’s that!” Nan breathed a deep sigh of relief. “I believe he’s just where he belongs. And now' to get to the office, clean up the mail, end then get hold of Dr. Ashley.”

F"\R. ASHLEY not only agreed to take the 2 o'clock train to the state capital, but insisted on Nan’s remaining to lunch with himself and his wife. During the meal she became suddenly and unusually confidential, telling the great doctor just what she had done that mornnig with John Curtis Morgan's son. "Mrs. Morgan had planned a private school education for Curtis, doctor,” she explained. "But since Mrs. Morgan is going to be abroad for several months, Mr. Morgan asked me do what I thought best for Curtis. He has a very bad reputation with nurses, I’m afraid—spoiled and dictatorial.” “A public school is just the place for him,” the doctor nodded. “The boy's bad temper has no doubt been the result of subconscious anger against being ‘different.’ He has wanted to be ‘regular’—all children do” Almost, for the first time since she had come to work for John Curtis Morgan, more than three years before. Nan Carroll worked with her eyes on the clock that afternoon. She could hardly wait to have Curtis hurtle his small, excited body against hers, while he began to pour out the absorbing tale of the day’s aei. ntures. When she did arrive at the Morgan home it took quite a bit of hunting to discover Curtis. And when she did find him. in the apartment above the garage, he was so enthralled by the drama of the O'Brien family taking possession of their new home that he scarcely gave Nan a thought, "Hey. Curt, gangway' What d'ye think this is—a free show? Pitch in and help tote up furniture if you're going to stand around here,” Little Pat was shouting to the pampered son of Iris Morgan as Nan climbed the stairs. With deep amusement and tenderness Nan saw that Curtis obeyed the 10-vear-old son of the cook unquestionably, eagerly. She went back into the house. Estelle, the maid, stopped her in the hall. “I was just wondering, Miss Carroll, what to do with Mrs. Morgan's clothes and things. If she’s going to be gone several months, oughtn't they to be . . . well, packed up. or something?” She floundered to an embarrassed stop, but her meaning lay plainly between the two girls; if Iris Morgan was not coming back, should a hundred reminders of her beautiful body continue to stab John Curtis Morgan's heart every time' he entered his home? Nan ascended the stairs slowly, sick with distaste for the job that lay ahead of her. (To Be Continued!
