CHAPTER III-Continued -3- ''Well," udrultted Mr. Colby, "one never can be certain In these UJat · tcrs, but of recent weeks m.v aj:!:lng eyes lla ve been more or less offendPd by the continual pre!'ence around this houRe of Rollin Waterman and Jim Stanll'y. Am I warm?'' ''You're bot," suld the girl. "That being the case, I l.rave to say that I woulcl cheerfully poison bCJth of them, but asloe from that I have no pnrti<'ular complaint to make of either."

"No," Insisted her father. w!tb R r_., grio. ··so far as I'w concerned, my l'•'m'a n Is goln~ to have a run for Jt>'<: And It was In pursuance of tbls con· tlrmed philosophy ot life and action that she had come toni,ht to the home of Doris Colby, and now that she was here, although even ber settled assur· unce was a Uttle ruffled, she bad no tbougbt of turning back. She was not even dannted by the sudden appearance ot the beautiful Mise Colby herself, when the latter came Into the drawing room a moment later. "How do you do," said D11ris. "llow do you do," said Nina. There was 8 moment's mutual In· :sp-ectlon, as always between two worn· eo who meet for the first time-and It Is probable that In tha-t fraction ot 8 second each one of them bad come to t:nme definite conclusion about tbe other. Each one of them had probably said to herself: "I like her," or "I oon't like her." But alouo Miss Colby "'aid: "What can I do tor you. Miss Mor· ::an ?-that was the name, wa~ It not?" '•Yes, Nina Morgan." "1 don't think I know you, do 1?" said the daughter of the bouse. ''i'lo." said Nina, "we have never met, but I have seen you IJI;lveral tlwes.'' "Ah ?" "Yes. Yon see, I am a secretary In the office of Stanley and Waterman.'' "Indeed?" said Doris. "Perhaps yf)u bring me 8 mes~ge trom one of them?'' "Not exactly." replied Nina, "and yet In a way, perhaps." "You Interest me," murmured Doris, "won't you sit down?" Nina summoned all ber resolution, and began: "I've come to tell you romething, Miss Colby, wblcb lt ls motJ~y.u "Don't thiuk you cun tool me, ptlpa. know whkb one you like best." "If you koow, why usk me?" "Daooy you're exasperating. You tlod your onl~ child Is 8 crisis In !ler life, perhaps the greatest crbis lu her life, ann you .,.·on't !'HY 8 woro to help her." "That'S not true, n1y dear. I'm per· fectly willing to analyze the character:; of these two young mPn, so far as I know them. But whPn it comes to s~yl _ng which of them you ought to ~Y. I quit.

So after 1 mo ment'1 hesitation, she snld: "Very well, I give you my word ot honor." "Very good," said Nina. "Yes," continued Doris, wh!le the smJie still lingered In the corners of her mouth, "lt shall be our Uttle se· cret. And now what ls 1t?" Nfna lifted her black eyes trom the rug and llxed them npon the eyes of the other. "I suppose," she began "you will be curious as to my motlve. You will perhaps call It revenge, an<t It Is partly that-1 don't deny lL But It Is more than that. I am determjned that my happiness and yours sball not be ruined by the same man, tf I can prevent it." The violet eyes widened ln surprise "Really," breathed Doris. "1 do hope," went on the other, "you won't think me Impertinent or Impudent or curious, and I am sure you won't when you have benrd me out. Bur the fact ls that I have rea son to suppose that you are consld· ering the po!lsibility of marrying 11 certain man." "Upon my word," cried Doris, wltb a toucb of sarcasm, "how th logs do get about I And how, may 1 ask, have you arrived at this conclusion?" "From various sources," answered Nina. ''l have seen you occnslonall~ in vubllc to company with the man I mean. I have seen frequent references to the posslblllty of your engagement to one or two of those gossipy society papers, and what's more, I have ha!l some talk with the man himself upon this very subject." ''l suppose," said Doris Colby. "that l ought to ask you to go away at once." ''Please, please don't," said Nina quickly, nnd something In her sudden earnestness caught and held tbe other. "11 you do yon will regret It as lonj! as yon 11 ve, believe me." "Very well," said norls, after a mo ment's reflectlon. ''but i warn you l1 what yon have to sa1 Is merely silly gossip, actuated by a spirit ot petty malice, It will have no effect whatever upon me." "I'll take that chance;' said Nina, ··for I know full well that when you have heard me, you wUJ recognize that what I tell you must be the truth." The golrlen heud bowed slightly. "I am waiting,'' said Doris. ··Very well, then;· said Nina. "nod again I remind you that what I am going to say Is said upon the assur ance of your solemn woro of honor never to repeat lt. lf yon will say to me, rlgbt bere and now, that you have no Intention whatever of mar· rying Jim Stanley, why I'll say good· night and good-by, without further ado." "So-tbut's It," said Doris quietly. "Well," Inquired Nina, "shall 1 go on, or sbull I say good-night?" "Go on," said Doris briefly. •• After what I bnve already told you,'' continued Nina, ''the mention of his name almost completes my story. He bas wrecked my life-that Is the long nnd the short of lt." "'In the-usual way?" murmured Doris. "Oh, yes,'' cried Nina passionately "1 know, I know I It Is the oldest story In the world, but I suppose It wlll be told and tolrl and told again as long as the world stands and men arP what they are:• ·•ot course I don't bet! eve It,·· l:laid Doris quiet I y. "Wbs not?" said Nina. kBecause I know Jim Stanley." ''Then perhaps,'' said Nina, ''per haps you will tell me what you tblnk my motive could possibly be In doing a thing like this? Do you think anv thing but a sense of desperation woulfl have driven me to It?'' The shot went home, and !Sino sa"' wost Important yon should know, tor your own sake, before It Is too late. But before I tell you what It Is I want yon tt- promise on your word of honor tbat you will never repeat lt to a living soul." "Really," said Mi~ Colby, "l cannot Imagine what you cun have to say that could concern me so deeply." "You will In a moment, but I can· not speak without your proml~>e." "1 can give you no such promise lightly." "I don't ask It llgbtly.
