If It had not been for Mrs. Oliver,
Fanny still would have been liv
ing In one room. Her Innate care
lessness was a fearful handicap In
making a living. After several at
tempts at other things, Fanny had
resigned herself to clerking In the
stores employing cheap, untrained

But this last summer Mrs. Oliver
had, sent her an advertisement

"You know I love you, don't you?". Garrett said.
Mr. Hirshberg took one look at
Fanny and engaged her at a salary
which seemed sheer affluence, after
the hand to mouth existence of the
past years.
Fanny shared a bathroom with
a. reader for a publishing bouso,
Anne Lawson. A few months after
Fanny had moved to her new apart
ment she went one evening with
Anne and two others to a neighbor
ing club to Improve her mind by
listening to Shakespeare. Tbe
place was crowded and Fanny had
to take a place by bernolf at one
side.
The reader was a distinguished
elderly gentleman with an Impres
sive manner and a dyed moustache,
who delivered the lines of the ghost
of Hamlet's father In an awful
bass, Hamlet's In baritone, the
queen's In tenor and Ophelia's In
high falsetto. Fanny, crouched low
In her chair to hide her uncontrol
lable laughter, finally sat on the
floor burying her bead In her arms.
: "Hadn't yon better get out ot
here before you're put out?" said
an amused voice at Fanny's ear.
Fanny had noticed a tall blond man
In a dinner coat leaning against
the wall with folded arms; he was
her rescuer. Fanny managed to pull
herself together as he led the way
out by 9 side door.
"It was exactly like the story of
ths three bears," 6be gasped In ex-Dlanatlon
It was Impossible after that to
be unfriendly. The man Introduced
himself as Uarrelt Wcntworth;
Fanny gave her name.
"Look here," he said nt her door.
"I've, had an awfully good time.
I know Anne Lawson. If she says
.I'm all right may I come to see
vou? I'll bring Anne If you like,
put I'd much rather come alone."
Fanny learned his story next day.
He was the son of a one time fa-

known conservative publishing

On bis second call Garrett spoke
in Fanny of bis wife and tlicir en
forced separation.
I don't know why you are living in

"A castle In Spain," said Fanny.
Perhaps some day 1 will tell you

Fanny still sat at her tea table
and as Garrett lounged at his ease
In her one big overstuffed rhalr he
said simply, "You know 1 love you,

Fanny glanced at him quickly In
genuine alarm and distress. But
she saw that be was smiling and
smiled back In glad relief.
I remember you told me you
were priveleged to be mildly en
amored. I'm flattered."
"This is far more serious. I've
loved you almost from the first,
certainly from the second meeting.

that Fanny baldly sketched her
story. She was hoping for a little
reassuring sympathy, but she was
utterly unprepared for the warmth
of Garrett's rage. He sprang to
champion her as against the cruel
ty ot the wicked, and was Insistent
that she let him engage sf lawyei
