Coyle's eyes closed; a gray line
drew itself about his mouth.
"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.
