Will vou bo now. please?"
"Don't turn ne down this way,
dear," he pleaded, coming over to
her tide and kneeling down on the
floor so that his eyes were on a level
with hrrs. "Can't you sec that it's
real happiness Fin offering yon? I
may not he so rich as l'eter, but I

"I Peter rich?" asked Ninette,
languidly, more to change a disagree
able subject than because she
wanted to know.
"Oh, yes; Fetcr has ton of coin,
but he spends o little that nobody
would ever think it," Delay- an
swered carelessly. "If Dorothy
Man vers had lived she'd have made
hint spend it fast enough."
For a moment Ninette lay perfect
ly still, hardly daring to breathe.
She wondered if she heard aright.
Could it be possible but no, such
things did not happen 1
After a moment, which seemed an
age to her, she asked:
"If Dorothy Manvcrs had lived?
W hat do you mean.'
It was Delay's turn now to stare.
"Why, didn't you know? She com
mitted suicide jumped into the river
after she got so badly burned that
time and found that her beauty had
gone."
Ninette tried hard not to give
way to the rush of emotions that
swept over her. But she was not
strong and the shock was too great.
She fainted almost before Delay
realized what had happened, and the
doctor under the pretense of having
forgotten something, returned to the
room to find Delay dashing water in
her face.
"What's the matter here what
have you done?" he demanded, but

tut Ninette, though hc lud in

loved, had no tllii.ioua about it being
Arthur Delay, Inured, ahe at ome
went almut getting rid i him.
"I know that I shall be able to

told hnn, "and you may be ure that
I'll tend it to you jut a soon a
ever I ran. Km you mu.t go now
and pleac don't come to ice nie any

He pleaded w.ith her in vain, hut
Nimtte' mind was made up. The
knowledge that he wa free to love
Fetcr Nothard gac her new
kttriigtli, and now her will to live
was !iong a lud been the desire
to die.
Hut evrn with this new incentive
tu help lur, finding work was at
hard as ever. At soon a the was
wtll ahe he k a ti again a tour of var
ious employment agtueir-i, and of
shops u'hose advertisements bad ap

story was the tame as it had been
before: the place had ulwavt just
been filled by someone wiih more
experience than the had bad, or w ith
good references, or with both. And
Ninette would tuin hopelessly away
and trudge on down the long ttreets.
woudfimg why it was that in all the
world there seemed no place for her.
At last he decided to pawn the
few things which Josh Wheeler had
given her, and to which the had
clung, even in the direct extremity.
There were not many of them, and
their value was not great, but they
would at least serve to keep the
wolf from the door.
She bad never been to a pawn
shop before and felt a bit timid now
about entering one alone.
"You're a silly thing." the told
herself, disgustedly. "Nobody cares
w here you go or what ymt do; why
should you mind going to a pawn
shop? And as for hating to part
with these little keepsakes how
happy it would make Josh if he
thought they were being a help?"
And so she resolutely crossed the
street and went over to a shop above
the- door of which dangled three gilt
halls. She had reached out her hand
to grasp the doorknob when a mas
culine voice at her elbow cried
"Ninette!"
And turning, she saw Teter Noth-
.ard there beside her.
"Have I really found you at last,
Ninette?" cried Fcter Nothard,
clinging to the girl's hands as if
he would never let her go.
"Oh, Fcter!" she murmured, her
great eyes swimming with tears.
"Don't ever let me go again, will
you?"
"Not ever again," he assured her.
"But what are vou doing here?"
She told him, trying to soften the
pathetic little tale s much as pos
sible, so that he should not feci too
sorry for her.'. But refer, studying
her wan little face, and supplying

and he led hrr to the hansom that
waited at the curb, and gave the man
the address ot bit home.
"Where were you going when vou
saw me?" aked Ninette, snuggling
down at Ins tide and flipping h-r
band into hi.
"To meet my sister, Margaret," he
answered. "Delay hat written h.-r
begging that she give mm another
chance, and she ha decided to do so,
She really love hnn. you know. And
he said he had changed greatly since
she last saw bun, and that he knew
the would lind him worth iorgiving if
the would only try."
Ninette, her lace shaded by the
brim of her hat, united a little to
herself. If Margaret would forgixe
him, surely Arthur Delay would have
kit reward for the trouble he had
gone to on her account.
At they drove through the streets
Ninette could not help thinking of
the many timet she had walked along
these very pavements, her heart like
lead, mourning the fart that she
would probably never see Tcter
;t.ain. And now here he sat beside
her, her hands held close in his lirut
grasp, his smiling eyes meeting hrr
adoringly every time the looked Jp
at him.
"This isn't much like that first
night I came here, is it?" she laughed
as they left the cab and entered
Feter's house together.
"Not much," he agreed, establish
ing her in a big chair and kneeling
down beside hrr, his arms about
her waist.
"I came here to steal that night."
she reflected sadly. "And I would
have stolen, too, if you hadn't stop
ped me."
"I didn't slop you." Fcter de
clared. "You stole my heart that
night, and you've never given it back
again. But you've given me yours

The President's voice
heard by the nation
On Armistice Day, President Harding talked to a
crowd gathered at the grave of the Unknown Soldier,
in the National Cemetery at Arlington. His voice
was heard simultaneously by vast throngs in New
York, Chicago and San Francisco.
In this modern miracle that seemed to knit our
nation into one great family, Exide Batteries played
an important part; for Exides were relied upon to
provide current for the amplifiers that magnified the
President's voice. Exides also supplied the power to
send the words over the telephone wires, just as
when you telephone it is an Exide Battery that
carries your voice.
The development of the storage battery and its
place in peace and war has been little else than a
record of the Exide. The original starting and
lighting battery for automobiles was an Exide.
The Exide, made for your car today, has built into
it all the lessons of the past.
The result is a ruggedly efficient battery that you
can depend upon to last a very long time. This
means even something more to you than the maxi
mum comfort in motoring; it means dollars and
cents economy.
