she could, not stand by and see him
ruined.
In the end Norwood yielded to her
pleading. Hurrying to Kennedy's
broker, he was just in time to cover
as the stock dropped another point.
Mary, waiting at his office until he
returned, thanked him with quivering
gratitude.
"It was a very foolish thing for
you to do," he disapproved.
"It was the only thing I could da,"
quietly as she rose to go. "And after
all," withf a wistful smile, "every
woman is capable of some supreme
sacrifice for the man she loves!"
The next morning Kennedy return
ed to the city, tired and harassed
from the hardships of two days' cam
paigning through the up-state towns.
Buying a paper, he was confronted
with the ominous headlines:
PANICKY BREAK IN H. & R.
MANY INVESTORS WIPED OUT
Leaping into a taxicab, he shouted
to the driver his broker s address.
reckless speculation. With . gritted
teenth, he thought of the men who had
urged him to this investment. Were
they political enemies in -disguise?
Were they tools of Brady? Was it a
deliberate plot to crush him?
White, rigid, controlling himself
with an effort, he strode into th
broker's office. It was several mo
ments before his throbbing brain
could grasp the reassurance of the
clerk.
His stock was safe! At the last mo
ment some one, who had refused to
give his name, had covered him.
And now the market had turned and
was advancing steadily.
In a bewildered daze, Kennedy left
the office. Who could have come to
his rescue? He had many friends,
but none from whom he would have
expected such a sacrifice. And why
had they concealed their identity?
His mind beat hopelessly against this
baffling enigma.
At his office he was confronted
with two days' accumulated mail. Hur-
ryitig through it, he paused, trans
fixed at one brief note,
"I'm at Crosstown'4 hotel if you
wish to see me. Margaret."
In the first glow of joy he did not
notice that even the signature was
typewritten. That it might not have
been written by Margaret did not
occur to him. He had only one
thought to go to her at once.
In the drive to the Crosstown hotel,
for a brief moment Kennedy's glow
ing joy was clouded by the thought
of Mary. Where was she? He knew
that she was suffering that she was
desolately alone.
He had written to general deliv
ery, but only a brief cold note saying
that he could not make the promise
she demands and that she must de
cide as she thought best. With stab
bing self-reproach he pictured her
sobbing despair as she read the note.
And yet, what could he do? How
could he force a love that he did not
feel? vMight it not be better for them
to separate now than to drag on as
they had for the past year? He could
never 'crush out his love for Margaret
of that he now felt sure. His life
with Mary had grown intolerable.
After all might it not be kinder to end
it now?
But as his car drew up before the
Crosstown hotel all thought of his
wife was forgotten in the intoxicating
nearness of the woman he loved. In
return for the generous tip the hall
boy took hire up with formality
of an announcement.
At the door he paused, startled at a
man's deep voice from within. Had
the boy directed hint wrong? Then
with a not flush of jealousy, he recog
nized the voice it was JNorwood.
"It's the only way I can protect
you. Margaret," the words came dis
tinctly. "Let me give you my name.
I will ask nothing in return not until
you learn to love me."
Goaded by a blind, flaming rage,
Kennedy flung open the door.
