Tif there had been noth ing of that sort, never. There was a deeper, obstinate decency In Rod, and much sterner restraints.

"I don't mean that Agnes marrying yon would be throwing herself away, except from your point of lew. rm trying to tell yon, Rod, what they do. They won't care a damn about you when you're sure they should ; and when they shouldn't, should-n't, you've cot 'em. And yon won't know It; youll be the last to know It, and you've had 'em all the while." He moved abruptly to his desk and pressed his buzzer. The prompt appearance of Miss Gilbert forestalled forestall-ed any reply from Rodney. "Get Miss Glenelth on the phone," Jeb said. In the house twenty miles north along the lake shore, Agnes Glenelth Glen-elth had been Informed that Mr. Braddon wished to speak to her. "lou tell her, Rod, that you're coming out to her on the first train. Quick I I can bear her near the phone." Rod. with a sudden violence that amased Jud, snatched the telephone, id in . a moment he was speaking to Agnes. ... Agnes was nearly twenty-three, and she would have ald that nothing noth-ing In the least extraordinary had ever happened to her. 8he had been bora In an attractive, pleasant bouse only half a mile away from this huge hsndsome country mansion, on the lake ahore, which for the last eleven years had been borne.

The cold wind of the morning bad whipped a pink glow Into her clear smooth skin. She procured her own little ana arore- inooe through the snow to the station to meet Rodney. . . . He sat by himself in the train. going over and over what be bad done. Did Jud honestly believe that he nau a chance?

Little Agnes I'' be said, the syl lables escaping him. If she caught his exclamation, what difference? He had come to say to her much more. She telt It. The snow had begun to blow so bllndlngly that It became almost an adventure to follow the familiar road to the house. Rodney said scarcely a word, In the house he made no attemnt to touch her. They went Into the pleasant, easy "east room," which on ordinary days overlooked the lake. Now the snow swirling at the wide windows shut them In, as It had when they were In the car. . Rodney appreciated this, ana be turned to her, gratefully. "Vou. know the trouble -with m I love you. . . -v You sit there, wIR you) And I'll stand here.

She was seated where he asked her to be and watching him, looking up at him, so tall and troubled. He was more carelessly molded than Jeb, except In bis brow, his chip and hla bands. Perhaps especially espe-cially in his bands, 80 lean and strong and capable.

"The fact that I've none; that's not my trou ble. It's me and my life Isn't it?' "Your life?" The fact that you never could live It." She said, without thlnklna. "Whv not?" for she did not willfully in tend to lead him on: but never, with any man who had made love to her, had she found herself so confused by feeling.

"You can tip it all your life, afraid really to taste it or you can dare to drink the whole thing doun while you are living!" Such was the challenge of Jeb Braddon, young, ambitious, am-bitious, fantastically successful suc-cessful broker, wooing Agnes Gleneith from his rivals by the impetuous force of his love. Such, too, was .the spirit of the mad, seething city of Chicago, just before the Crash a very maelstrom of madness in which cravings for money and power were like dragons, driving men to incalculable ambitions &r.l follies.
