''If you don't mind, please.’' she went on. "I d like lo bo alone—for a while." She paescd into her liltis cubby hole of an office, closed the door, aank into her chair and dropped her head in her folded arms upon Ihe desk beside her typewriter. She sat there soundly*--’, tremors running through her. She had not a single thought; Just then thought was be yond her. An hour, perhaps severs! hours, may have passed. She pulled her self up out of her swirling emotional anaesthesia and looked at the paper Mitchell had brought her. It was an afternoon paper, and in It was a hasty, preliminary account of that mornings happenings But there, printed in full, was Gladys’ affidavit. Her brain began to clear, to func tion. Her heart leaped at that afh davit—Mitchell’s work!—clearing her. She was cleared! Gratitude, humility, joy lnegpressl hie, swelled within her. Presently Mitchell rams in again and quietly sat down, the romp's tiny size forcing him to sit within a foot of her. Hours must have passed. She did not know. His Reward. "There Is Just one little thing I have to tell you.” he said quietly. "My name—my last name. It's Har rison. Harrison nobodv-at-all. I told you long ago Mitchell was quite as good a name, and quite as impor tant.” She hardly heard this. He had been looking at her very steadily while he spoke. She had never be fore noted, so clearly as now, what fine, candid, sympathetic, understand ing eyes he had. His quiet voice went on; but there was that look In those flne eyes that required no words. "You will remember you once said. If you were ever cleared, I might again ask—’’ "You needn’t ask!” she cried. She flung her arms about his neck and held him tightly, as one clutches Joy and salvation; and her words went on, broken and choked with thrilled ecstatic sobs. "Oh, I’m so happy! So happy! . . . And I haven't deserved It! . .1 haven’t deserved It!" And now one year has passed and Mr. Franklin, ss Mitchell predicted, Is not a happy gentleman these days. Mr. Keflmore. his partner, at onoe decided It would be wiser to dissolve thslr partnership. Proceedings look ing toward Franklin’s disbarment are now pending before the Bar associa tion and criminal suits on several counts are being pressed against him in the courts. He may escape them all, for he la a man of shrewd wits; but the dizzy place he once looked up to as his future estate will be the property of some other gentle man. The day after the scene In Mit chell's Office Jerry Plimpton atarted on a trip around the world. He Is still on that trip. The Knd of the Story. Gladys la in California, living pleas antly at Santa Barbara, the while her suit for divorce progresses through the courts. Notwithstanding Mitchell's declar ing to Gladys that any action for divorce she started would be fought by Grayson her suit is not being contested. This Is due to one of the tangles that human affection some times Involves humans in. Esther may not be sure that she lovee Gray son, and Grayson may not be sure that he loves Esther; but Esther lovee Francois and Is determined to keep him; and Grayson lores Francois and Is determined to keep him; and Francois loves them both and Is de termined to keep them both; and eo, ss the only compromise by which this difficulty can l* arbitrated to suit all these unchangeable deter minations. Esther and Grayson are going to be married as soon as Gladys gets her decree, and all three are going to keep each other. They are going to live In Cleveland. But this necessary loss of Francois to Elly does not bean that Lily's ban tam-like. strutting mothership will abruptly ceaae to function. It's direc tion will be changed—has already been changed—that Is all. Cordelia still has a joh—rather a new Job. It Is over this new Job that Lily Is so busy and 'bossy and strutty. This Job Is three weeks old and la of the feminine gender. The parents have not yet decided upon a name. Both parents have decided most enthusiastically that the daugh ter Is magnificent—simply magmfl cent! Down In her heart, however, where her stoutest resolutions are made, Cordelia has secretly decided that her daughters magnificence Is not to ba trained toward a social career. And that, as Mr. Franklin once re marked—that, I believe. Is all.

He hugged himself with glee. “The Quacks ham a nest over here, and Mra. Quack Is sitting en It. T Just know It!-’ said he to himself. Then he started to hunt for Mrs. Quack and her neat. He bunted and hunted, hut he didn't find It. New thelees he was sure that he had made a good guess, and that It was hidden somewhere near that pond. He was right. Mr. and Mra.
