I could shake ber Craig, once she had given It! One evening at a ball by which the rich girl from the train christened the house on her estate, Mary pleaded fatigue, and asked Denis to take her home early. She had to talk to him. "What's the trouble, Denis?" "You mean," with his Ineradicable smile, "what's behind these most recent allegations that I'm a crook, de luxe?" "I mean what's behind the new little lines around your eyes, and the tiredness In them, the lines under them that tell on you of Insomnia I What's rocking your boat, "Mary, these are hard days for me.

With a little cry Mary reached up and drew his face down to her, pressed her cheek against It for a moment, and ran inside. A week later the engineers of the Paradise Valley Project arrived at their offices one morning to find a pinkjslip upon each desk. A pink slip. The official no-- ' tlce of dismissal. The project, then, had gone "flooey" All work was suspended. The beautiful dream had petered out, according to prophecy. 1 the outright your million CHAPTER XII "There won't he any salary available, perhaps for months." Hilt's nice boyish grin widened. His eyes warmed with affection. "I guess I can worry along a while, Denny." That touched, spiritual look, Mary before had seen aroused by beauty, suffused Denis Craig's face. He made no reply. "Guess there won't be any danger of the Greeks going unherded, nor of buildings being carried off In the night, Craig," said jira which Moore. Others spoke up similarly, and Denis Crnig, the eloquent, the spellbinder, opened his lips, closed them, opened them again to utter something that had to do with "thanking" and "loyalty" and hurried from the room. Mary Brown bad stood among the others, silent, trying rather unsuc s cessfully to keep her from her eyes. The bottom may have dropped out of the world for the rest of the engineers: for her It had dropped out of heaven. How long would It be now? Her buzzer sounded. She was summoned to Denis Craig's office. Denis stood In the center of the room, looking not at all beaten. Looking like a Nordic god "Darling, you can't go away from here! Can't you be mad with me now? Overwhelmingly, gloriously mad? Can't you shut your eyes to reason and orthodoxy and marry me today? Go up to the city with me and marry me?" "Denny!" To do that thing! To marry him today, just as Mary Crown, letting him discover the bally millions when she was his wife his wife why not? Why heart-sicknes- not? Mary shut her eyes against the sweet vision. "That would be madness, Denny!" she said tightly. It would, wouldn't It, to give the world a chance to sny that the promoter had got out of a hole by marrying a rich girl? "Wonderful madness.

She couldn't help It. It was adventure. "Ia it too severe a test of loyalty?" Denis was smiling. "Look for your answer when you come back from the city!" Mary flashed at him.

After lunch she set out for a walk. Anything to dull this rest lessness. Not far from the hotel she met Neil Goodenough. "Going or staying, Nell?" she cried Interestedly. "Going. But only because I think I should leave what Jobs there are to married men." "Oh!" Mary looked thoughtful, and started on. "Wait a minute, Mary." Deliberately Nell overtook her. "How," he drawled, "can we finish our race to the top If we're not on the same track? Couldn't we go together, Mary? Did you ever look up that antonym In your thesaurus?" Distress welled in Mary's eyes. "Nell," slowly, "I did." "And what did you find?" "I 1 found friendship, Neil; liking, affection, but " "That was all?" bravely. "I couldn't take them all, Neil. I had to select" His chin was set and steady, his eyes kind and worshipful and disillusioned. "I was afraid the right one was reserved for some one else, "Well, Mary," he said quietly. friendship is something." "It's a lot, Nell." She slipped her hand through bis arm and walked with him as far as his tent, returning the steady pressure of his fingers on hers, and hurried on down the hill, around the foot of Lone Mountain. She must think. Get rid of the storm of emotion Denis Craig's entreaty had aroused In her, banish the pain of her refusal of dear old Something very sweet was beneath her anguish, however. Two men wanted her. Rid of her gold ball and chain, two men of the right sort wanted her!

A group of girls was gathered on the It made Mary Leighs' veranda. think of that day In Fog'y Gulch. "Don caught the June was saying. "He'll have something In a short time.

'It's utter nonsense, Mary, for you to leave I If you don't want to take this Job, stay on with Creeesh and me !" But Mary was adamant. She left a note, finally, for Denis: "I Just couldn't stay, Denis. I'll be at the Palace." He would write to her there; come to her there. She flew to the packing of her trunk. She thought her heart was breaking. She wasn't going to stick to Denis through his slump; wasn't going to prove her loyalty to him and the Job by becentral she, the ing telephone daughter of the rich David Brown. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
