CHAPTER XXXIII. 1907. He had railed her "his Brunhllda” with honest sincerity; with all his heart he thought he meant it. Of course he was fighting for success to put in Martha's hands'. His honor was pledged to win for Martha's sake. His deep affection for Alartha under lay his delight In learning to play the game. All this went without saying, and he said it even to himself with less and less frequency during the next year. He had, as a matter of fact, less and less time and strength to give to any thing outside his business. This focussing of energies began to have its usual result. He felt the eyes of the older men In the organization turned on him with curiosity, with approval, and with a little jealous alarm which gave him the utmost pleasure. He saw in the younger men’s eyes the^appraising, combative, watchful look with which one tackle surveys his opponent. All his life long mystic Intensity of conviction of the worthwhilencss of winning games, flared and blazed hot and lusty in his heart ns he recognized that he was now head over ears in tlie turmoil of the biggest game he had yet encountered. Of course the real purpose of the game was to take care of Alartha— that was axiomatic! The middle of his third year In busi ness was marked by a considerable raise In salary and an enlargement of territory with corresponding in crease from sales commissions, which proved conclusively that he was now accepted as one of the live wires of the organization. And when barely a week later Professor Wentworth was notified of his appointment as ex change professor ‘for the next aca demic year to one of the German uni versitles, the moral of the two events was clear. It was time for a rather long engagement to end; time for Martha to set a definite date for the wedding before her fathers depar ture for Berlin. With the setting of the date the re lations of the three took on another aspect—like a change of lightning at the theater. Everything was as it had been, and yet everything was dif ferent. Professor Wentworth consid ered himself already eliminated by the younger generation, and although they invited him to share the new home on his return from the year in Germany, he assured them that he would under no conditions cumber up the background in any such fashion, and began to make plans for joining forces with another widowed pro fessor whose children were now ail married. His resigned, philosophic acceptance of his son-to-be exit from their stage set them further from him and closer to each other, as if he had already stepped out from thelf lives and closed the door behind him. They occasionally felt a little self-conscious awareness of being alone with each other which was new to them. As Martha quaintly phrased it, she now began to feel not only that she was engaged but that she was going to be married. The feeling was a new one. gave a new color to her thoughts and sometimes made her 'feel a little queer. Neale told her that he understood this and felt with her that he was stepping forward into a new phase of their relation; and he did feel this at intervals. But while this was the only change that had occurred in Martha's life, it was overshadowed in Neale's by his intuition that he had now come to a crucial moment in his business career. He recognized perfectly the feel of the moment in the game when one side or the other wins, although half the time may yet remain-to be played through. In foot ball it lasted but an Instant, that well remembered poise on the very crest of the will-to wln. In business it would last—he had no idea how long—but he felt that he had Ijeen Well coached by life, that his training had left him with the endurance to stick it out—years if necessary. His pride «s a fighter hardened and set. He felt again the single-hearted pas sion to win out at any cost to him self or others which had been the meat and marrow of his football days. In short he began to be considered by all the experienced eyes about him as a remnrkably promising young Amer ican business man. But now for the first time he did not pass on to Martha the excited ex uberant senae of triumphant force, the salty tang of pushing a weaker man where he had not wished to go. Nowadays when he stepped into Pro fessor Wentworth's apartment he found Martha with excitements and interests of her own—of her own and Important Change in Time Train No. 18, the Portland Limited, now leaves Omaha daily at 8:15 p.m., arriving Chicago 9:35 a.m. 7 Daily Passenger Trains to Chicago Lv.

After the first slightly star tied recognition that he had opened the door upon a qutte unexpected scene, he always focussed his eyes to the other distances, and discussed as animatedly as Martha the relative ad vantages of suburban and upper west side locations, and looked over with her the list of apartments to let. But when he left her he liRd scarcely reached the bottom of the stairs lie fore he was again in his own world, crouching warily with tense muscles, alert to catch his opponents off their balance. He occasionally cast a mental glance back at the scene he had left, but it was already out of focus. As a matter of plain fact he did not care a picayune whether they lived in a suburb or on One Hundred and Forty-fifth street, or in what kind of bookcase they kept their books, or whether they had twin beds of mahogany or white enamel. He told himself that what be did care about was that Martha should tie suit ed In those details about which she seemed to care so much. About this time he began to notice that instead of rrflsty, in-the-distant future glances at what marriage was to mean, came concrete, definite, re curring pictures of one scene, after another in the life before him. His imagination, never very quickly aroused or very flexible by nature, began to be prodded by circumstances into an unwonted activity on the sub ject of Martha and this marriage. He saw her in his mind's eye across the breakfast table, on the other side of the hearth, or even silting on the arm of his chair with his arm around her, as she often sat now while they talked over their plans. But (it was one of the first intimations he had of the storm before him! he en countered some curious dumb resist ance deep in his heart when lie tried to think of her more intimately with the veils of girlhood gone, as his wife. Something within flashed up with chlvalric swiftness to shut out such thoughts. He amazed himself once or twice by feeling his face hot, as though with shame at the idea of making Martha, Martha whom he loved to much, his wife. What sort of morbid prudery was this? As soon as it was passed he found It incred ible; and felt it again. "Perlmps it wasn't so incredible after all. Maybe that was the price you paid for know ing something about life." It was in evitable—what must be felt by every man who had not been brought up in a vacuum. And it was really all right and nothing to be squeamish over. Human nature Is what It is, and there's no use dressing it up in high sounding names! At this, for a short time, he fell into an inner panic, lost his head, thought himself abnormal, incapable of ordinary human life. He was afraid to see Martha, and was in his heart immeasurably relieved when she was called off by a wedding in her aunt's family to a somewhat lengthy visit in Ohio. He wanted to have it all out with himself while she was gone—make an »nd of all this nonsense. But what did was to think of it ns little as possible. With Martha gone he was able to occupy liis mind entirely with busi ness problems, and the release from tormenting personal worries was grateful to him. He had been in tensely ill-at-ease. He w’as relieved that his discomfort was passed, quite passed. He opened Martha S first letter with pleasure. Jyetters were all right; thpy didn't harry' you with emotional over tones. He read her entertaining ac count of the prostrate condition of both families over the elaborate wed ding ceremony Impending. Every body it seemed was frantic with nerves—except the bride-to be and her young man. of course, who paid no attention to anybody or anything but themsdves. Neale thought he felt a note of good-natured satire In this, and smiled appreciatively. That was exactly w hat he felt about fussy wed dings. Martha always felt as he did. Just at this time he got his hist chance at a big order. An industrial suburb was projected to house the operatives of a new machine-tool manufacturing plant In the Connecti cut valley. The contractors had never been Gates customers and no one In the office thought that young Critten den had the ghost of a show of land ing ti«a order—no one, that Is, but young Crittenden himself The con tract would run up into the millions of board feet; forgetting Martha, mar riage. every' personal element in life, Neale started after It.
