Brainard's visits to .BettyV mother became more fre quent. They made no pretanse of asking hereon their drives, or .tc join them as they chatted in the sitting ruom. They seemed quite able to entertain each other. At Brainard's suggestion, her mother had abandoned her garb of mourning and bought an outfit of new clothes, much too girlish, in Betty's estimation. She felt her mother was making a bit of a fool out of herself with short skirts showing a too well rounded ankle and gay colors in too sharp a con trast to the recently discarded sombre garments of mourning. One night after Mr. Bralnard had gione Betty sat down beside her mother on he divan and ask ed : "Mother, are you going tc marry Mr. Bralnard?" Dearie. I think I shall. Caleb ii so insistent and so anxious that we two lonely souls should end our days together. lou nave n idea how beautifully he makes lov. to me." she simpered. "Then you must let me find a position of soma sort." answered Betty. "You wom't waiit me to live with you, and I would not cart to." "Now, honey,, don't act thai way!" begged her mother. "I am entitled to live my life. I am t young woman -jet, Mr. Bralnard says, and he wants to make mt happy. He says he will make i: both Independent and we can have a nice little car and everything He wants us to mov.6 from this, gloomy house to more pleasant surroundings." "I suppose there is nothing 1 could say to stop you," sighec" Hetty. "I don't want you to thinl. me unkind, but I cannot see wh he should want to marry you." "Well, I likethat!" cried Mrs Brown. "Let me tell yon, Mls that I am not the ugly old worn an that you suggest. At least Cal eb does not think so. You shoulc h mighty proud t hat your mot he' Is wooed. by so fine and prosper ous a man. He says 1 shall havt a servant and never have to tun my hand to -housework." "Yei. 1 hope it ail turns ou for the best," answered Betty. Sin sat on the veranda the next eve ning as George Harris came from the restaurant. He stopped a mo ment to chat. "I see your mother has take; off her mourning," he said, ten tatlvely. 'Yes, and I fear for a foolish reason." "Is she going to marry the old chap who is around here n much?" "I'm afraid so, George." "Who and what is he?" askec George, suspiciously. "I wish I knew. He is Calel Bralnard, an investment banket in the Finance building." George's reply. was a low whis tie. "Do you know him?" askei Betty, quickly. "No, I don't, but when I see ai investment banker hanging arosrnt a widow with life insurance mon( ey it makes me suspicious. "Is .there anything we can d about it?" asked Betty. "I will have the Retail Credit Men's association, of which oui restaurant is a member, look him up. They can tell us about his fi nances. But don't worry Betty Maybe he is all right." The next 24 hours were anxiou ones for Betty. When Georg came home the next night sht asked what he had found out. "Betty, I hope your mother ha; not trusted that man with any ol her money," answered George "He has only desk room In aa of fice In the Finance building. He owes everyone In town. He is a crook if there ever was one. Talk to your mother at once and tell bet what I say." Betty went into the house at once, and found her mother pla cidly rocking In the bay window, waiting for Bralnard. "Mother, I have some bad news for you. I hope you will ,ot b angry, but I asked George Harri: to look up Mr. Bralnard and ' "I will thank you to attend tc your own affairs!" snapped hei mother. ; "Our Interests are the same.

I wonder if he de livered the stock to her! If she Mdn't get the stock we might lave him arrested on a criminal charge. If he did deliver it, thert isn't a chance In the world.

He did not go back to the office where he had desk room. The five thousand dollars' worth of stock he had sold Mrs. Brown was not worth the paper it was printed on, as George discov ered. Mrs. Brown believed in the sharper for several days, but fin ally broke down and wept day and night. Only a few hundred dollars were left ln the bank, so Betty began looking for a position. She had no experience, and was Just about ready to take a Job as a saleswoman In a department store 1 when her mother became bo ill she was not able to leave her. In a month after Bralnard dis appeared with Mrs. Brown's Ufa Insurance money, they had laid her to rest be3lde her husband, and Betty was left alone. Mrs. Brown had not recovered because she had not tried to, the sympa thetic doctor explained. The little store of money was all spent. George Harris advised Betty to sell the furniture, keep ing only enough to furnish a small room. So Betty established herself in a rooming house with less than a hundred dollars to her name, and no ability to earn a living except by dancing. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
