Cynthia deeperately lovee a man but they cun'l marry because of their poverty. Nan dreamt ol ro mance with Jervie . Weare who doesn't oven know her. San is a typiet in a lawyer'e office 01 which Jervie I a wealthy client. At Uaet ho will be wealthy when ho inherits hie grandfather's fortune, but Jervie muet marry within three monthe and a day after the old man's death. He it engaged to hie coueln Rosamund Carew who gete a thrill by postponing the wedding until the last passible moment, now dangerously near. Rosamund wll. InAerlt the Weare fortune if Jervie falls to marry witiiit the deadline. Cfcaptar S "WE'VE BEEN PUPPETS" . NAN waa Tory tired when ahe got back to th office. Cynthia was loving and aweet and gentle, but the waa a dead weight, and there were tlmea when It took the very last of Nan'a atrengtb to carry It She fonnd Mlsa Vllllers on her knees In the file room sorting papers after her own peculiarly languid and dilatory fashion. "No, dear, I haven't found It But Cve bad a perfectly lovely Idea tor taking up that length of georgette I got Ob dear, you're not golngl I waa sure you'd give me a band rhen you got back." sound to her; It left no mark. Jervlf Weare spoke again. "Sbe'e thrown me over." He said It twice. And then he laughed, still on that low, quiet tone: only Just at the end It broke sharply, harshly, and so ceased. "Mlsa Carew r Dear, dear how's thlst Mr. Jervla. I I" Mr. Page atopped, commanded himself, and took up the last word again. "I am very much distressed at this. la It Is It Irremediable?" "Oh, quite." aald Jervla Weare. Mr. Page went across the room to the window, halted, and came back again. Then his professional voice, grave and concerned: "Sit down, won't yout Yes It will be better, This la a very serious matter. I don't mean only person allythough, aa 1 am aure you know, you have my deep sympathy. But there la another aspect" He stopped as If he balked at tbls aspect to which he alluded. "This this unfortunate breach baa a con aequence which may not have oc curred to you, and cannot have oc curred to Miss Carew." Nan seemed to see Jervls still standing with the office table be tween him and Mr. Page. Half a minute went by. Then Jer vls aald harshly: TYou think nott" Mr. Page coughed. The outer door waa flung open and Jervla Weare atrode through the room, ' "I've got the Harrington deeds to type," said Nan. She took off her bat, sat down to the typewriter, and passed wltb re lief Into a formal world of sot, cor rect phrases and stilted repetitions. Mr. Page came in presently, "Feeling all right again, Miss For lyth?" Nan began to feel less tired. It wasn't work that tired you; It waa fighting wltb yourself and trying to carry someone else all the time. If Cyntbla would only get a Job. But standing In a shop tired her feet, and typing made ber back ache, and iha didn't seem to be able to man age children. Besides And then suddenly the outer door was flung open and Jervls Weare trode through the room, wrenched at the handle of Mr, Page'a sanctum, and disappeared, slamming the door behind him. Nan had the feeling that he had taken the room In bis stride without aeelng It, or anything in It Thr,a bla voice struck harshly on her ears In a violent oath. She stood up, shaking a little. He bad slammed the door so violently that It had latched and then un latched Itself. It stood now an Inch ajar, and aha could hour Mr, Page'a tartled exclamation. "Mr. Jervls! What haa happened? I beg of youl" Nan atood still In the middle of the floor. It was most clearly ber duty to close the door. She heard Jervls Weare go tramping through the room beyond; and aa he tramped be swore In a ateady bitter flow; not speaking loudly, but with deadly effect of weighing every word. "Mr. Jervls! Mr. Jorvlal I beg of yout Something haa happened I beg that you will tell me what has happened. I I Mr. Jervls!" There waa a silence. Then Jervls aald In quite a quiet, low voice: "Rosamund's thrown me over.' Mr. Page exclaimed. Nan did not know what he aald. It waa Just a "Mr. Weare, I am obliged to point out that the terma of yonr grand father will make this breach a most serious matter. I am bound to tell you this, and to ask whether there Is not any chance of In short, a reconciliation." Another measure of silence, and then Mr. Page breaking It . "Mr. Weare will you tell me what has happened?. I am In Ig norance. How can I advise you? Since you have come to me, I must suppose that you want my advice." No," said Jervls Weare "not your advice, Mr. Page." Then what do you want?" I will tell you." He spoke now In a cold, composed tone. 'You say that I'm probably not aware of my position. That'a a mis take. If I'm not married within three months of my grandfather's death, Mlsa Carew" the name halted him "Mlsa Carew steps Into my shoes. You talk about a quarrel. There hasn't been any quarrel, nothing but a polite note to aay she's very sorry but she finds she cant marry me af'.er all. My grandfather died on the fifteenth of May. This Is the thirteenth of August She wouldn't hear of being married be fore the fourteenth. She aald It would give ua both a pleasant thrill to fee) we were running It so One." "No, no," said Mr. Page. "No. no don't tell me the thing waa planned!" "And you've been a lawyer for forty years! Planner, f Of course tt waa planned! And we've Just been puppets damned cardboard dolls while Rosamund haa prilled the strings and laughed at us. Why did he put that clause Into his will? You don't know, and I don't know but Rosamnnd knows, and now ahe'a played the dirty trick aha thlnka she can get away with tt and scoop the lot. Well, I'm damned If she will!"
