Mr, Gordon's announcement that he had purchased control of the com- pany hy which Arthur was employed deprived me of all interest in the luncheon to which I had invited them. Try as 1 would, I could not drive my- self to keep my end of the conver- sation, and it was a relief when the {little function was at an end. Mariam evidently noticed my ab- { straction, for just before departing 'she crept up to me and, putting her arm about my waist, asked me if 1 was. not well. - ! "Only a little headache,' 1 fibbed. "It will leave me in & short while, {1 hope." "Take a nap," she advised. always cures my headaches." I promised, and she went away with Mr. Gordon. A As soon as they were gone 1 went to my room and sat down to think. Here was an uncomfortable situation | in which to be placed! My husband | employed by the man who admired me and who periodically made love to me! I felt, against my own inclination, that the. disagreeableness of my thoughts was due largely to myself. If T had scorned Mr. Gordon's at- | tentions and had clung with tender love to my husband, the idea of Ar- | th: «r working for the A.B.C. Company | under its new ownership would not '| have caused me ome moment's un- | easiness. Or if I had cared nothing | for Arthur and was deliberately and willingly acceptinggthe attentions of my admirer, my {ence would have been so hardened that I would have cared not one whit for whony Arthur worked. But neither of these hypothetical conditions existed. 1 was not at all sure that I did not love Arthur, or, rather, I was not at all sure that I would not some day love him. Yet I had permitted my relations with Mr. Gordon to remain in a very ambiguous position. Of course, if my affection for Arthur had. been that heart-whole passion which obscures the thought of all other men, I would have known all along that I could never love any one else, and I should have indignantly spurn- ed the advances of any other man. By permitting Mr. Gordon to talk to me of his love I had placed myself in the position of one who thought she might some day learn to love him. In other words, I was on the verge of liaison .with my husband's employer. This is mot 'a pleasant thought to permit in one's mind, but it precisely described my condition. 1 knew, of course, that Mr. Gordon had no knowledge of where my hus- band was employed. He never had asked about Arthur, and Mariam had mentioned his name only once or twice. 1 never had spoken to either of them about the A.B.C. Company. Thus 1 was able to dismiss immed- jately from my mind the suspicion that I had played any part whatever in the change of control of that great corporation. That had been the first thought which came to me as we sat at lunch- eon. It flashed into my brain. like a shaft of lightning. But, as 1 said I was able to put it aside as impos- gible, Mr. Gordon had not bought the A.B.C. Company with the purpose " "That .| Sunlight Company wanted of becoming Arthur's employer. This humiliation, thanks be to Heaven, was spared me, He evidently had taken over the stock for the reason which he assigned, namely, that the a clear field in its line of busihess and had absorbed its competitor. He had unconsciously and innocently placed himself in a position where, Lith one YOU HAVE Ee USING RETURN IT AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK BEST BY TEST word, he could deprive my husband of his means of support. As I sat and thought over the mat- ter I realized that I must care some- thing for Arthur, that I was not yet a hardened woman; that 1 did not love Mr. Gordon to the exclusion of all other men. . Otherwise 1 should not have been so worried by the diseov- ery. I should have accepted it in an altogether different manner. But should I tell Arthur? Should I let him know that Mr, Gordon whom he suspected of admiring me was the new owner of the A.B.C Company?. If I did tell him, what would Arthur do? I answered the question immed- lately. 1 knew just how Arthur would feel. He would be worried, but he would not quit his position. He would not quit because he did not know all that passed between Mr. Gordon and me, yet as"the days pass- ed, I knew his brow would become more and more clouded and that the knowledge of Mr. Gordon owping the Company would gnaw into his very soul. And if I did not tell him to what extent would I be a party to a dis- honorable compromise? 1 could not deny that, were Arthur to Know 3 pounds of deliciousnesg, when eaten on Griddle Cakes, Waffles.

I cried in astonishment. "Why, Arthur, I did not know you were wealthy enough to buy stock." "That's the best part of it," he exclaimed, "I am not, but old John- son, of the Fourteenth National, of- fered to lend me the money with the stock as collateral. 1 half suspected there was a scheme back of it all, but I accepted it and placed the order for the stock.
