"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

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!"
