He did, rather reluctantly, and they moved off, leaving Edith and Walker alone. Hugh was worried at the evident attraction that Walker and Edith seemed to have for each other; so worried that he proposed to her during the very next dance proposed and --was put off with a This is so sudden, Hugh, know my own mind." The worry did not leave him the next day, did not even leave him that afternoon when Walker called on him and gave him a stock-buyincommission, and showed his confidence by leaving with him a certified check for g tt though the prospect ot the commissions on the trading did open up possibilities'! ' Thoughts of Edith filled Hughs moment Now came working every this stranger to their city and into their society, and opened up prospects of wealth and luxury to their, vain souls that made his offering seem inconsiderable. It was impossible, utterly, to contend with him from this angle.

All the way home, and before he got into bed that night, he tried to think of some way of overcoming the tremendous advantage of - Walkers money and always came back that dark thought, each banishment seeming only to increase the subtle insidiousness of the next attack, until h$ fell asleep, alternately hating himself and returning to the thought that darkly, fascinatingly followed that word, unless The next morning, on arising, he felt free of the fearful temptation of last evening.

Of course, it was not stealing for him to borrow money from a business associate, to help him out, in a deal that entailed no risk whatever' for the money borrowed!
