"Youth doesnL It has so dreadfully much to learn. But you must not suffer like this. Mike could not break your heart or mine. It isnt him." The telephone rang sharply. When Laura came slowly back to the living room, her eyes bad a queer startled expression. "Mike has been down at the bank for hours. Locked up with the directors and the state bank examiner, she said, and then went on as if she were a little awed. "Donahue Investment Brokers did not open for business this morning. Theyve failed to the tune of twenty million dollars." "Donahue! ejaculated Ritchie. The concern in which Eugene Mays was involved? "Eugene Mays is dead," said Laura. "He blew his brams out ten minutes ago when they told him that his bank doors had to close. "Mays personal fortune is completely gone. The crazy fool gambled the last dime he had on earth trying to recoup his losses. The Maguires were at dinner. All of them.Shirley and Jatrd had hired someone to look after their place for the evening. Tom and Mary Etta had driven over after Alec and Lou. Mike had brought Ritchie home from the office with him. It was Mike who was somberly reviewing the extent of the disaster. "Apparently Mays has been on the verge of rum for months. Thats why he snatched at such a desperate chance as the Donahue scheme. And it ripped him open. "And wrecked the town wilh him, added Tom bitterly. Not quite, explained Mike.

"I guess after all, she said In an uneven voice, "a reputation for unimpeachable Integrity is more precious than dividends. Banks may break and Investment brokers go flooey, but a good name goes on and on. M.ke's boyish face looked suddenly very gay and young. "Docs that mean you've got over your peeve at your blundering old Daddy, Kitten? he asked. He laughed, but his eyes were not laughing. Kathleen leaned over until her shoulder brushed his. "I always adored you, she whispered. "Only I lost my way Im back on the tracks for good ' this time. And I I love you. Mike squeezed her hand. Kathleen with a shiver glanced down the table at her mother. Laura was wearing the ecru organdy. Her face was a little thinner. It had been a trying summer. But her clear brown eyes were strangely beautifuL Serene, unclouded, lighted by a deep and abiditfg happiness. She and Mike had built their house on the eternal verities. And although the tempest had whistled above them, the house had stood. "Great Scott, in all the shooting I forgot about Ritchie! exclaimed Mike. "Hes taken an awful jolt By Jove, I dont know how hes ever going to bold up his head again. "Whats happened to Ritchie? demanded Kathleen in a fierce little voice.

"It overwhelms you with the success you dont want and slaps you down when it comes to the things you do. Ritchie's glance met Kathleen's. Her gray eyes were hard and inscrutable. She looked away with a sharp ache (tabbing at her heart "Maybe Ritchie has got over wanting me," ahe thought, her eyes stinging. "I want to talk to you.
