Young Grigsby entered the room
whistling, tossed his hat on a table
and drew up a chair to a sadly-littered
writing desk. He picked up a pen,
dipped In in the ink and poised him-
self for composition.
All at once his wandering gaze gath-
ered Into concentration, narrowed-—
focussed itself upon a sealed letter
ying face up, before him. And
withstanding that “Mr. Peter Harwell
Grisby,—8ixth avenue, New York
City,” was in the habit of receiving
just such a letter, addressed in the
identical hand, seven, and sometimes
eight, times a week, his heart began
to perform its usual gymnastics as he
broke the seal of pale gray wax and
read:
*Dear Peter:
“It is all over between us Under

“You may-—at a forfeit of your en

Young Grigsby paled. “I'd forfeit
my hope of heaven,” he sald calmly,
“for the sake of Juliet Downing.” °*
The old man was trembling with
rage. “Then you're a fool and I'm
ashamed of you,” he burst out vehe
mently. “No Grigsby has ever before

again and gripped the arms of his

“And she—she refused you, huh?”
“Precisely.”
