What could I do ? And the next day the child was ill and he was not at the office; our interview was not continued-then came the blow. Button is useless in an emergency ; Armitage was overwhelmed; 1â€"1â€"â€" Oh, what could I do?" , - But Deborah was silent. She was crushed indeed. And Armitage had thought of their welian‘: on the very night she was hatelul to him. He had advised against all wheat stock, and his advice Was disregarded. She had no reply to make; there was nothing she could sayâ€"then. Her cheeks burned as she thought of her command to him the night of the dance, when he had so Quietly rebuk- ed her; she thought of her own de- liberate insult to him in her own home. That jest about the best girl must have jarred him greatly, too. for she had heard him speak of the little sister in the far» away West. but had not known that he had brought the child on for better treat- ment and better care. She had giv- Deborah was very busy those first few days following the big failure of Veltner and Company. Then she set- tled down to the practical business that confronted her. Things had been adjusted quickly, and Deborah was never slow. 0n the third night Mr. Veltner retired early, worn out by his recent nervouslstrain and loss of sleep. Deborah saw him saIely to bed and then sought the big draw- ing room. She had much to think about, much to arrange. Alone and sitting on the floor, close to the burning logs of the fire place, she dreamed out her own and her father’s future. It was the last week she would be thus idly occupied; the very last time she would enjoy the room she loved so; and so she rested there by the fire, thinking, thinking, the red light playing full upon the sad- dened face and listless little hands. been persuaded to his way of think- ing ; butâ€"” "He went to meet his sister?" Deborah asked the question in a half stifled voice. Conscience was smiting her keenly. How dared she think to take upon herself the task of punishing him? Fete had surely rebuked her. “At the depotâ€"yes.” rather impat- iently replied fo. Velfiner. en him insults instead of sympathy. He had really not deserved punish- ment and she hadâ€"that. was why fate had turned things about and made her the sufferer. The front door was opened and clo- sed by Danvers, but she: did not hear a. sound of it. Then a step near by aroused her abruptly from her: deep reverie. She sprang up, frightened. There stood James Armitage, hat in hand, looking at her, himself the very picture of strength and resolu- tion and calmness. In a moment she had revovered herself; had confront- ed him. She heard from Walter and Alice, that immediately following her iathc er's tallure, Mr. Armitage had been offered a fine position with another banking house and that he had acâ€" cepted it . So much of his future was known to her, but so far as be him- self was concerned. she knew that they were not likely to meet very of- ten in the months to come. Fate had reversed their worldly positions. The one who had been poor was sud- denly made prosperous, while she. to whom riches had always been granted, was as suddenly bereft of them. But she was not one to whimper. No, Indeed! There was work to be done and she was going to do it. Upon that point she was fully determined. 01 course many of her friends came to sympathize, but many did not,and Deborah knew the value to put on such floating frienship. Cecil came. too. but she told him there could be no thought of her leaving her father just then-vshe must keep him tender- ly. There was the only one outcome possible. The beautiful house must be given up and she and her father would start anew, in a small home. It would be hard, of course, but De~ borah was not afraid to try her abâ€" ilities as an active housekeeper. And she had youth in her favor. For the first time in her life, Miss Veltner faced the certainty of home and per- sonal economies. Well, she would not shrink from either. What her father had to hear was heavier than her own load, and so she bravely cheered him, while yet praying that strength be given her to successfully carry into execution, her new formed plans for the tiny home that must be started. “You here?" questioned she wond- eringly, almost, sternly. -w- a. time when slowness became pru- dence. You and I are far too vol- canic, Deb. If he had not been in haste to meet his sister we might. have lengthened the interview, and I ”V 11y not?” said Armitage, quietlyfi He put his hat down 01} a chair, still looking at her, and with something of a smile lurking in his dark eyes. "Why should I not. be here, MiBS’Velâ€" tner?” “When was that ?” "The night of your party, when he called. I thought his advice rather presumpyuous; now I realize it was really a. friend’s wisdom.
