ot her forehead.
Why, then," aha said ta herself

She broke off at the sound ot

not surprised. Brents bad marched

I It aha stopped long enough to

overwhelmed with a sort ot sick
despair. She would not dwell on
what might happen it any ot the

Kay's salary would help to carry

I'm glad you're going," he said.
Somebody In this family waa

about money.
What about Angler Monnle

Bill looked faintly embarrassed.
"Sure. Angle's a wonderful girl."
But Monnle thought she caught. In
hts eyes, almost a touch ot bewil
derment If Bill had siren hli
promlss to Angle, she reflected,
wild horses wouldn't drag It away
again. She thought C. the lines:
"The men of my own stock.
Bitter bad they may be.
But at least they feel the things 1
I feel,

She felt a surge of pride In her
brother. Angle allien was a lucky
girl.

"Of course aha does. Hunt aha

warning glance, "It Is too bad

Monnle came back to lite. It waa
