Miss Illlilc Hallanlyno had fought a long time with her pride, before sho had leached a point where she could telephone) Craig niithciford; and nothing but the exigeiicli'S uf (lie slttiatloii hnd llnally persuaded her to do so. She sank bnek In hei chair and stared nt tho rccrlcr, when her words brought no response. It was unbollovnblo that he had rung off. Then the curiously ironic way in tvhlch ho had advised her not to worry enmo back to her. She had considered trying to get Central again, nnd ask If she had not been mlstnkonty disconnected; but tho ring in his words held her back. Ho had said "Good-by," nnd without waiting for response had ended the conversation and it wns she who had rung him up In tho first placo! And what had ho meant by alluding to her meeting with Hcldcrman? How had ha learned about it? He spoke of It ns If It were rt clandestine affair. Surely Mr. Hutherford could not tnkc It upon him self (o crltlclso her actions constantly to have an espionage upon her house! Suddenly sho looked down at something which had tnllen and lay thcro glittering beforo her, on the edge of the big, siiunrc desk. It was a tear. Sho sprang up from the' chair nnd ran upstairs to her room. Never had the empty, old house heeined so desolnte, so devoid of human com fort. It had lirousht nothing but sorrow nnd misunderstanding to her ever since sho had entnrcd It. She was deeply hint, and intensely angry with heisolf for be ing so. Oil, for the luxury of a good cry! "Father, dear," sho whispered tiemu lously to herseir, "I wonder If sou will over realize not being a woman Just what I nm enduring for your sake! I do not begrudgo tho service hut, oh! if I had mother here sho would under stand!" In her haste to leave the telephone, she had not picked up her hand-bag. It was lying in plain sight on top of the desk, whero Sophie presently discovered It. The erstwhile faithful maid ran through Its contents with slft and practiced eye. but found nothing of ctpeclal Interest except a small, folded bit of paper on which was written: "Cowen, Covington & Brown 32 Nas sau Friday at '!." Today was Friday. Tho maid qulcklv restored the paper to Its icceptacle, and hastened upstairs to her mistress. "Mademoiselle, will you tell me what costume I shall preparo for you today?" The evidence of the girl's constant faithfulness touched Miss Ballantyno In her present mood. "Sophie, you nro always thinking of mo!" she exclaimed. "But why should it mako any paitlcular difference what I wear today? This is only a business en gagement." "Ah, Mademoiselle, I always like to f.eo you smart even at a business engage ment! I look out tho window after you, as you go down tho street, and I say with the great pride 'That is my mistress yes!" And I am not the only one who looks out of the windows. There arc tho young men. and the old " "Nonsense, Sophie, how you talk!" said Blllle, flushing. "I linvo a notion to wear a gingham dress Just to splto you!" "Ah! I know how Mademoiselle hates the gingham even for negllgeo! Now If Mademolscllo would only let me sug gest " "What Is It, Sophlo?" Ordinarily sho would not have encour aged garrulity In tho maid, but tills lonely morning tho chatter about dress was amusing to her. "Why not again tho velvet gown, and the velour hat, Mademoiselle? Tho com bination Is over sultnblo for tho Avenue, or for the stuffy old business office. Why do persons have to talk so much business, anyway?" Blllle glanced at tho maid, but her guileless face expressed nothing but a natural Interest and dcslro to bo useful. "Then, Just to pleaso you, Sophie and not because I don't want tho gingham you can lay out tho velvet gown. Be side," she ndded to herself, "Mr. Lcclerc will know me easier by that." "Yes, Mademoiselle," returned tho maid, smiling. She withdrew from the loom, nnd could bo hoard downstnlrs Blnglng a French love-song Bottly to herself, ns sho put the house to rights. A fow minutes later, she returned to say: "If Mademolscllo will permit, I will hasten down to the corner drug-store for some little things I Torgot yesterday." "Very well, Sophie." The front door sortly closed, us tho maid sped down the block on her errand; and her mistress, loft nlone, wondered what she would havo done in this out-of-tlic-wny corner of the- city without some one she know and could depend upon, like Sophie. An hour later. Miss llallantyne wns summoned downstnlrs by the telephone. The first Jangling of the bell set her In A Mutter; her nerves wero on edgo this morning. It might be her fnthcr, calling her up, as lie did frequently, to counsel and encourage. It might he Crnlg, ex plaining his strango conduct. 'mT'iV""'0 vo1co tllsnPPol"ited her hopes. Hollo!" called n man's crisp, buslncss- llko tones. 'This Is Mr. Cowen talking. I wish to speak with Miss Ballantyno, please, "Tills Is Miss Unllantync but I do not iccognlzo tho name." "Cowen, of Cowen, Covington & Brown." On, os," replied Blllle, he.- heart beating innro rnpldlv than ever. "Did Mr. I.eclere tell you" "Hverythlng la satisfactory, Miss tint Inntviic." "fii, I'm sn glad so wry glad!" "Mr. I.erlere Is not hero Just now. lie H detained on another nintter. lie asked me to call you up and postpona the meet ing slightly. It wns to bo nt three, I understand?" "Yes, at three, this nttcrnoon." "I believe ho agreed to deliver to you a certaln-sentlmeiitnl article In which you nre Interested?" , "Yes havo you It ready7" sho asked, brenthlesslv. "Certainly. I am merely rehearsing theso details, In order thnt there may bo no misunderstanding. Now, Miss llal lantyne. If you will be good enough to postpono your visit until four, Mr. I.e clero will he able to aeo Jou." "triitll four? Certainly," BIIIlo agreed; and tho businesslike person at the other end of the line thanked her, and rang on. Thnt day, ever nftcr, seemed the long est In the girl's memory. Tho minutes dragged by like so many hours. She tried busying herself with ono duty after another but always she found her lingers Mopping, and 'ner eyes gazing away nb stractcdl, while her mind went over tho phrase, "Postpone your visit, until four; postpone your visit until four!" Cmild It rcallj be true? Slio wns going to get the other blue liucl.lo! She would seo the rest of that strange Inscription, and If she could not make It nut, Cinlg would help her and they together pshaw ! what nonsense! She would never able to read It herself, She would neor ask another favor, never, of a man who could not let her get out of his sight without misjudging her! She bit her lip, and her wandering thoughts took another course. S"nn pic tured the two buckles nt last In her pos session, and herself presenting them tri umphantly nt tho office or soino trust compaiiv. A niystcrlous-looklng box would ho turned over to her, after she hnd signed her name, oh! loads of times! She would open tho box nnd gloat over Its contents. Yes, here were bonds and, maybe, gold or Jewels t'ne family trcas ui es of the Bnllantynes but, best of all, here wero papers, formidable appearing legal documents whlcli would icstoro her father's good name; would make It no longer necessary for him to keep hidden away from tho sight of men. And some day thus continued her un ruly thoughts sho nnd her father would dilvo up openly to t'ne Kaudrlngham. They would request Mr. Craig Huthcr ford please to step down to the leception room. Her fnthcr would thank blin for them both, and explain tho few things lie had so persistently misunderstood The enlightened young man would, per haps, beg her pardon, and she would In terrupt him with, "That Is unnecessary, Mr. Ktitherford! I understand, even though ou did not. I Join my father in thanking you for nil you've done. Wo shall always bo grateful to ou for your kindness. Good-by!" And they would depart from tho room and out of Mr. Iluthcrfoid's life. Oh, theso thoughts, these thoughts! How we lovo to dwell on those that leave tho bitter taste! BIIIlo rehearsed this little parting scene, over and over, and each time thought or something more clever, more cutting to say. Then, by a sudden revulsion of memory, sho pic tured Craig at this moment lying III, wounded, sho did not know how serious ly and more than likely because she had enlisted hint In her sorWce! Four o'clock came at last; and punc tual to the stroke sho presented herself at tho spacious suite of offices wheie Mr. Lcclerc was to await her. Tho oftlce Lboy smiled at her, and without waiting ror ner to givo ner name or errand started toward the Inner office. "I'll tell Mr. Cowen," ho said. "He was Just going, but I don't think ho has left the office jet."
