tainty of life, for in apparently usual health until a few minutes before the end came, with a part of his family at his side, he extended his hands caressingly. Then with eyes lifted heavenward he answered the call. In early life he identified himself nith the Christian church in his home town and shortly afterward chose as his life work the ministry. He continued in this calling until failure of his voiie compelled him to give up the active work. Thus deprived of the pleasure and satisfaction of active labor in the vineyard, he steadfastly remained true to his convictions and lived the Golden Rule. In June of 18P4 he was united in marriage to Mary t. Wells. To bless this union came five boys. All are liivng —Arvel of Carmel, Ind., Flem and Arlie near New Maysville, Albert at home with his mother and ^ Ernest east of Greenca.-tle. About twenty five years ago, he with his family moved to Putnam county, Indiana.

SYNOPSIS Mary Kennedy had youth and beauty and an intense fear of poverty. Almost the last words of her dying mother warned her against marriage to a poor man. Mary refuses the offer of a home with her married sister, Katherine. She rents a small room. While sitting in the park making plans for a job, an elderly man of distinguished appearance engages her in conversation. He is Ruck Landers, well known sports promoter and race horse owner. He offers Mary a job as secretary. Mary calls on Landers relative to the position. They have dinner together and Mary is thrilled by the surrounding splendor. Landers offers Mary a life of luxury. She realizes that she could never love Landers, but his wealth is an attraction. CHAPTER VI ■ ANDERS, after a week had I passed without seeing her, -M—d telephoned her to come up to his apartment. “You’ve been neglecting me,” he told her, smilingly. "F thought wn weie going to see something of each other, so I left it to you to set the date.” “I’ve been so busy with my new job,” she apologized. “You know how it is—I wanted to save all my energy while I’m breaking in.” “How would you like to have dinner with me tonight?” She hesitated a moment. Then. “Why not? I think it would be nice." “You haven't made up your mind to give ina a quick yes on the other proposition—the personal one?" She shook her head. There were deepening lines of despair about his mouth; he lit a cigar and turned to gaze out the window. “I'm afraid It’s not such a good Idea," she said slowly. A little nerve in his jaw twitched visibly. “I’ll tell you what we’ll do,” he ■aid, quickly decisive. “There’s no percentage in these long waits. We’ll have dinner together and go see the fights at the Garden tonight. 1 didn't get a chance to give you all of my argument the other night. Let me have another shot of convincing you. That’s only fair, isn’t It? Anylmdy even Buck Landers, is entitled to his full chance, isn't he?” She looked straight at Landersmet his steady eyes. “All right—I’ll give you your chance,” she said, a queer little throb in her voice. • • • • Twenty thousand fight fans, screaming their half-hysterical blood lust, filled Madison Square Garden from pit to the distant girdered roof. Mary, beside Buck Landers, sat confused w ith the electric excitement In the first row. The lights dimmed slowly until only tha two heaving, hare-bodied fighters and the referee were visible in the white glare of the powerful lamps directly down on the ring. Mary was so close to them she could hear the vicious smack of their blows, could smell the pungent sting of liniment and sweat blood; at first she was sickened, but later her brain was caught up in the swirling excitement and she forgot everything else in life. Because she had met Dick Leeds, the “London Lad,” she became prey to anguish lest he be battered down. An intoxication of partisanship awapt bar with fear and pain isd hope, and when Leeds finally

hammered his foe into insensibility she was clinging to the arm of Buck Landers, shaking with excitement, trying to cheer with her parched throat. Then suddenly it was all over and she was milling with thousands for tho exits as normality ebbed baek into her consciousness. But, somehow, Buek Landers seemed closer to her than ever before. She had taken the first step into his realm. It was a world wherein he was almost a king. People gave way for him, dozens were eager for his nod of recognition. She heard a whisper from behind her, “There goes Buck Landers." And another, “Pip* the classy dame wit’ him!” Tough slant-mouth fellows these, but Buck Landers was royalty to them. Mary felt definitely the forces of his prestige, his power. There waa a protection around her. In the throng she was pressed close to Landers. The contact with his body gave her a feeling that he was built of a (lint-like substance; what he possessed was an enduring maturity rather than age. Maturity plus strength—did that make him an old man? For the first time, Mary was beginning to contrast him with younger men. His gaunt hardness was unlike their lithe elasticity, his skin lacked freshness. But he was, nevertheless, in an admirable prime; a strange little touch of grimness: “Well, he's not an old fool, anyway.” How potent he was she had opportunity to learn immediately and by chance. They were just out of the building when they were suddenly closed around by three, or possibly four, dark-skinned men. Beyond any question. Lander* and Mary were being slowly shunted apart from tho crowd. In a moment they were in what almost resembled a football huddle on the fringe of the mass of departing fans. Landers was undisturbed, his lips scornful. His gaze centered on one of the evil faces. 'Well, Benny, what’s the idea?" he demanded contemptuously. Benny’s voice was cringing, yet tinged with a veiled wickedness. “Why, Mr. Landers — we just wanted to speak to you a minute. On business. All we want is just a little loan. A couple of grand’ll do fine—” “And what makes you think you can get away with this idea?” Landers asked curiously. “Maybe because you cleared up fifty grand in lists on Leeds tonight,” returned the other, a sinister leisure in his tone. “No hard feelings, Mr. Landers, but us boys can do you n lot of good in one way and another. We’re not trying to make any heavy tap. Just friendly little loan when you won't miss it much—” The eyes of Buck Landers roaved over the faces of the surrounding gyps, as though he were cataloging their features for future reference. When he spoke his voice was swift, crackling. “Listen, ratal I don’t deal with your kind. Out of my way!” His words stabbed Mary with a cold excitement: peculiarly she was afraid—not for herself or Landers - but for the men. Landers had a dangerous fundamental courage; the others were mere thugs. A baleful menace glistened In his cold eyes and the toughs, almost vfsfbljr, cowered. It was at though a harsh

mental force had been thrown against them. They fell back silently and allowed Mary and Landers to pass. Aa hs eeeorted her to the parking place of his car, she was pate Lmt otherwise unshaken. “I wau sure you were going to have some trouble with them,” she told him. “1 wasn’t,” he returned grimly. “Will they bother you again?” “Frobably not — they’re stopped at the start I never worry about things like that.” “I think you're awfully brave," she confided to him in the car, “They were so terrible looking.” Landers gave his chauffeur • crisp order to drive up through Central Park. “I don’t believe you were a bit frightened,” he asserted admiringly. “I wasn’t—because you weren’t." “I like to hear you talk that way,” Landers replied. You’re my kind of a girl. I don’t like men, or women, either, who get squeamish.” There waa a menace in his eve* voice, a frigid echo that bore out Mary’s faith in his strength. "Well, we won't either of us worry about It any more,” she responded more lightly. Another thing she liked about him, too, was that he made no attempt to embrace her in the car. He appeared to hwve none of the swift eagerness of passionate youth. Somehow she felt a little grateful toward him for that. They were gliding through tha winding drives of the park; all around them was duskiness, while the sky was softly illuminated front New York’s jeweled towers of light. The richness, the smoothness of the car conveyed to Mary a sense of luxurious privacy. There was a magic In the wealth that enabled them so eaeily to escape tha city's pressure and congestion. “I don’t suppose you ever pictured yourself caring for a hard bird like me?” he said unexpectedly. She was dlent. ‘Tv* led tha kind of life that made me hard.” he explained. ‘When I wae a kid I was a mule skinner In railroad camps. I’ve been dealing with hard people all my life and I had to be harder than they were. Hut I wouldn’t lie hard toward anybody I cared about. I could Iw actually good to the right person. You, for Instance. I can see myself happily married and getting away from a lot of this racket. For the right woman I’d make a good husband, and she could have everything.” Throughout all of her mind, throughout all of her slim young being, Mary aensed hia inwaid desire—a sharpened reaction to living that was renewal to the man’s youth. To the right woman, she truly believed, he really would make a good husband, a powerful mute. “It would be nice to he the right woman,” she said, “but I don’t think yon have found her in me.’’ “In all of New York and In all my life you are the best bet I’v# come acroee,” he stated. “Hole does that make you feel when 1 teR you that?” “I think It flatters my vanity" “I could make you happy," he said steadily. “You like me now, but 1 think I could make you !ov< me, and if you love me, it wools be perfect, wouldn’t it?” “Yee—if l loved you."
