While they are tailing at his house, Roemer com- es om es to see him, "Ohl, Richard, don't let him conte in here,'' begs Nancy when she hears his name, And as Richard looks at her the pitiful little secret of her love for Page is reveal- ed to' him. Nancy Gordon trades herself in marriage for fifteen thousand dollars. —nae price of her family honor—and the freedom o her brother, Roddy, who stole, for a woman, that amount from the bank in which he works. Nancy: desperately in love with young Page Roemer, nevertheless agrees to a secret elopement with Dr. Richard Morgan, and with the money he loans her prevents Roddy'; arrest.

'lou-- She waved him back, and, unable to speak, sank weakly into his swivel - chair and burst into wild and passion- ate tears. The storm of Nancy's passionate grief spent itself slowly. She lay help- lessly in the old chair, her face hid- den in her hands, and her whole slight frame shaken by her sobs. 'Nancy, what is it? Tell me—" he pleaded. "I know you've been 1Saturday morning, Page?" He. frowned., "What on earth has that to do with. it? 'You went to seeRich rd Morgan -about half -past eight o'clock in the morning, didn't you?" He tried to collect his thoughts, still dumfounded. "I suppose I' did.. Yes, I did!" "I was there, Page. I heard you voice—it--.it was after that="' "Good Lord, have you married. Morgan?" She nodded, without looking to- ward hien. There was a terrible pause. SIteelid not lift her eyes to Roemer's face, but she was aware of it. Sle could feel his eyes on 'her. Then he walked across .theroom, drew forward a chair before, he spoke. His voice was hoarse and changed. "There no one on earth to .force. you to do anything, Nancy," he said slowly, "there's no reason on earth, that I can see either, unless you want- ed to do it. Morgan's a rich success- ful roan -1 congratulate you." She had not expected this. The irony in his tone out her to the heart. Here, 'too, she was to :meet, not syni pathy, but condemnation; here, too, she would get -not bread but a stone! He had hit the nail on the head, etoo, hit it most horribly.

She swayed, her first impulse to re- sist overwhelmed, beaten down by her weakness, her head ,dropped back on his shoulder and her eyes closed. She felt his kisses on her face and she had no strength to resist 'them. . "You love me," he repeated hoarse- ly, and you've married him: :Why— why? I can't understand—Nancy, tell nue you must tell nye the truth! "I can't tell you," sire whispered brokenly, "don't ask me, Page, I -- can't!" His face. flushed darkly., "You can't tell, me why you married Mo3-gan? What can you mean?" She stirred, trying to disengage her- self. *"Let me go, Page, it's—oh, I. can't tell you!" But his arms tightened around her. He sats', her misery, he was determin- ed to wring a confession from her. "Page, I've—I've got to go home! she gasped. "You're no going home to that man's house!" he answered hoarsely. "You've conte to me for help and I'm going to help you, Nancy,," She shook,her head weakly, trying to take a step toward the door, but he still held her. He was holding her when they heard a step in the hall and the door -half ajar—was thrown wide open. Page's arm fell: from Nan- cy's waist, he straightened himself and looked around. Richard Morgan stood on the thres- hold. The two men faced each other, then Richard's glance swept from Page to Nancy, It seemed to ignore Page as unworthy of any consideration .and fixed itself upon her. Richard came quietly into the room. "Nancy," he said, "I've come to take you home.„ Page turned on Richard. "What does this meant? What have you done to her? She says you've married her —look at her; she's wretched!" Moran was startled; she had told Roemer of Iter marriage then,. what else had she ,told him? "I've const for ray wife," he said sharply, "and what I've done --or what she dogs -is no concern of yours." Page Roemer's face' blazed with an. ter.

Similar to the famous Master Six, except in minor detail,the new Stan- dard Six has extraordinary economy appeal both in first cost and in op- eration. It has a wheelbase of 107 inches. The 60 -horsepower motor is greatly improved and the new and Longer Fisher Bodies have the same stylish' lines as the companion car, the Master Six. Foi,tr.body models are available. When- the smoke of that tragedy cleared away, Lomax found it had killed the power to love another wo- man. And once, in, the Gordon's gar- den, he had caught Nancy Virginia reaching high for a. sprig of lilac. She looked for just one minute as Diana had looked the day she died. Nancy did not know why the oldman stared at her. She tossed her sprig of, lilac to him. The old man put it in his button- hole, patted her hand,:and went on. Nancy had no idea that she had won a champion for all time. The morning after Nancy's returdt, Angie had to get the breakfast. She came into the dining room, her face rosy from the fire. She set the plate of •rusk down in front of her undle and retired behind the old silver coffee-pot. She was thinking of Rod Gordon. Tt was the first time he bad ever been in town without coYning to .see Iter.. Thcy were old neighbors; they had been boyand girl sweethearts. t had walked straight by the .louse TIe nae u Sh and ne:-ea looked at it, and Nancy had said nothing about his visit home! What did it mean? The taxi stopped and Nancystirred and looked =up. "Be careful of the step," said Rich- ard calmly, holding out,his hands. He held her firmly, keeping his hand on her arm, while he paid and dismissed the :man. Then they went up the path together. Not,a word was- said, but Nancy found it difficult to walk alone. He opened the door arid she walked unsteadily into the house. She had no other place to go. "I'll telephone to 'your mother at once," said Richard, "they're anxious. Sit down here, Nancy, until. I come.'' He pushed a chair forward and she sank into it. She was lying 'hack' in the chair with her eyes closed when she heard Riheard's' quick step in the ' "You will be my guest, Nancy, un- ,tilyou can decide what you wish to do," Richard's voice said gravely. "It's the best way to avoid scandal. I"— he hesitated—"I can send a marriage notice to the newspapers. Afterwards it will be as you wish. I—" he stop- ped again. She was leaning back on the pol- w lows, her face averted. 1V She 'drew a long breath. "Thank you," she said simply. Then she arose, passed hitt, and, 0 went to 'the. door. She, put . out, a steady hand now andopened it, 1 =o1- ing into the front hall. .It -,was empty. She was going without a word, but Richard reached her, He caught her in his arms, pressed her close to his heart. "Nancy," he said hoarsely, passion- , ateiy, "my wife -'stay with pie—don't go—stay, I'll make you love me, I'll win you. Nancy, give me my chancel Stay with me, dear," he urged her al, 0 most violently; his love had :broken down his pride. She broke away shaking all over; anger and sharhe and. fear' held her, "Youprornisecl to let the go -= you aid youdidn't want a wife who didn't hove yon—I don't, you know :I don't! Father will pay it backer -let me to I" He let her go and stood like a man turned suddenly to stone. l "Gorki -bye, Richard — forgive ince,, good-bye!"" 1 -le was silent and she rata ottt of his house into the night. ' Anglic Fuller kept house fenher i l undle. Major Lomax had never Mar- ried. There had been an early and a tragic love affair, Diana Aylett 1 .'.d accidentally shot herself on the eve of their marriage. It was hard to as- sociatc romance with the old major, , Yet there had been a love affair that scared, 0 11 Q Major Lomax ate a piece of rusk with an audible crunch and turned over his newspaper. "`Hello!" he exclaimed, stopping to read an advertisement more carefully. "The Gordon house for sale -whole outfit -furniture and all!" Angie was astonished. A shaft of terror shot through her. Hadsome- thing happened to Roddy? "Why, uncle, it just can't be true -they love the old house so!" He shoved thepaper across the ta- ble, "Read that!" he said crossly. He was cross because, like .Angie, a shaft of alarm had shot through him —he had heard something• from a cousin of his in New York, old Bea-' ver, accountant in the Greenborough Trust Company. ` Old Beaver said Roddy was running after a fast wo- man and was in debt. Lomax knew that William Gordon's resources were narrow. Trouble somewhere? The major's old mouth hardened. "Gordon calle me up late lrtst night —wanted to know about selling some r sectrti les he ruminated aloud ud more t , to himself than to Angie. "He had about five thousand in Liberty bonds.
