"Madge" it was almost a whisper "you mean that you will leave him and come to me?" Her eyes answered him; in their blue depths a flame was lighted. Over the ivory flesh of her throat a soft flush crept. She swayed toward him. "QODr. He fell back a pace. For a long moment there was si lence, while her eyes held his. He drew a long breath, and passed his hand over his forehead, like a man just awakening from sleep. "John!" she whispered. And then he laughed. "So," he said, "you want to sell yourself again, do you? And the price is two million dollars this time two nfillion dollars! It is too much, my dear, too much by far for second hand goods!" "John!" It was a cry of horror. He laughed again, and the sound of it was like a scourge. "Four years ago you told me that you had made a mistake; you could not be my wife." He leaned forward, speaking in a voice that was harsh and strained, yet every word was clear-cut, distinct. "While admitting that you loved me, and me alone, you told me tha't you were going to marry a man who could give you the luxu ries you craved the luxuries that you had persuaded yourself were ne cessities to you. He had money he was my best friend; I had little or none. He bid higher for you than I and you sold yourself to him. And now now that the positions are re versed you want to sell yourself to me! I am not buying women, Mrs. Mannering!" "John I love you hear me I love you! I " "Love? What does such a woman as you know of love? You never loved anyone but yourself. You never loved anything but your beautiful body the body that you sold to get clothes and jewels with which to deck it. You to talk of love to me! You lied to me betrayed me for money money! And now you would do it again. Do you think that you deceived me for an instant? knew as soon as I saw you why you had come here tonight. Mannering is done for and you know it! So you would exchange him for another poor fool. Why do such women as you live? You have n't a single de cent, womanly impulse, not a spark of truth or faith or honor not even shame! The only emotions you can feel are greed and lust and fear! For you're afraid now afraid of poverty afraid of the ruin you yourself have brought about!" She cowered away from him, her face white as chalk, her eyes wide with terror, mumbling, stammering for pardon. Under the lash of his scorn, her beauty, her youth, seemed to fall away from her. Suddenly he checked himself; the fierce light died from his eyes; his tense muscles relaxed. "You spoke of fetters," he said very quietly. "You have struck mine from me. Even while I hated you, I loved you wanted you. But now I am free. No price is too great to pay for that. You may tell Mr. Mannering that tomorrow my brokers will sell him twenty thousand shares of Con solidated Northern at fifty. That is all, I think. Good-night." With slow unsteady steps, she stumbled toward the door. Only once she looked back. Coyle was standing by the open window, looking out onto the moonlit lawn. The door closed behind her. "Four years," said John Coyle aloud. "Four years!" He went over to his desk, and from an inner drawer drew out a photo graph, in an oval silver frame. The face of Madge Mannering smiled up at him with all her provocative, se ductive charm. And he smiled back, a smile of quiet triumph and content. He snapped the picture across and across again. Then he laid the pieces in a bronze ash-tray lighted a match and watched the flame curl over the edges of the cardboard, un til it was entirely consumed. The Girl With a Past (.Continued from Page 12) MEXT night I went feverishly to A ' Thurzo's, but she did not come. The place was like a tomb. I phoned the club cabman for her address and looked it up. It was a church. Three days went by. Thurzo's had lost its charm. I was steeped in the delight ful throes of a lover's misery. But I had to keep at my work, luckily. Four days after her visit I had to go to the office of a large corporation on a business errand and asked the president who was a friend of mine, o have lunch with me. He said he would be at my service, if he could dictate a letter first. Then he gave me a deep leather chair by a window and a new magazine and I turned it half round, circumspectly, on his desk. A high revolving book case also made me feel that I was not intrud- ng on his privacy. He took up his desk phone and said: "Send Stetson o me at once for dictation. As the door opened I looked up, and the Girl with a Past came in slowly and gravely. She wore gold-rimmed spectacles and paper cuffs pinned over the sleeves of her shirt waist. Her hair, which I only knew of as a tangle of reddish brown curls, was coiled frowsily about her head. She wore a black apron with a pocket sagging down, and carried a note book and pencil. She did not see me, and I took care that she should not. When she had taken the letter and gone out, not speaking a word, I came around the book case, weak-kneed and shaky, 'Do you mind telling me who that lady is?" I asked "That young woman who just " He laughed. He was getting into his coat. "Who old Stetson?" he said. "Well it 's funny, we never think of Stetson as a woman. She 's an old maid and for that reason, perhaps, she 's the best stenographer that ever lived, I guess. She 's a per fect machine an automaton . You ought to see her card indexes. She never was known to make a mistake. She has no imagination no ro mance in her make-up nor in her life. She s a wonder!" I GREW cold all over. "Have you ever thought, John," I asked him, "of the awfully tragic story there is in that sort of thing? The terrible pathos of it?" "What sort of thing Stetson?" he queried. . "Why a woman a living, breath ing, hating, loving woman, office bound as you say, grown to be a machine, without any imagination or romance " "But you see," he said, "if she was n't just that kind of a woman she could n't hold down the job. But I see what you mean " "Perhaps," I venturrd, "she has a Past?" "Not a chance!" he grinned. "She came to us in short skirts when she was fifteen. She 's been with us over fifteen years and never missed a day ten till five like clock work. She has a two weeks' vacation every sum mer and spends it with her mother up in Massachusetts. Incidentally we send part of Stetson's check up to her parent every week. No she has n't even a Past. But she 's a bully stenographer and I hope she '11 be with us for twenty years to come." "I wonder?" I said, deliberately lighting a cigarette. I felt sorry for him. SENT FOR . ' AWKt Full Style nmaztmr. Vol npvpr Bsii 1 1 R' saw anythinir like JS Ifl f f this before.
