Then, as upon that other day of tragedy, Noras self control gave way and the story was sobbed out in those loving, fatherly arms that had never failed her the old, old story of hearing the tale from some spiteful playmate Perhaps, James pondered as he held her close, perhaps Nora had been growing a trifle arrogant. Ned had complained on more than one occasion that his little sister put on airs His father had thought the comment mere jealousy on the boys part; for despite the ten years difference In their ages, Ned was jealous of Leonora. Even if he throws up the job next day? asked Leonora Her father looked at her, his eyes a trifle hard. You think he would? I think, she answered, speaking thoughtfully, that a year in an office especially In Ned s office, will finish Don, Father. "You feel then, that my proposal is unfair? Nora glanced up, a wistful smile lighting her face as she responded Not as you view things, Daddy But to Don it will be well a year out of life. What would you do, I wonder, if I ran away with him?"

Well, James pondered, perhaps he had spoiled Leonora. He closed his eyes as from the room beyond drifted the tender, haunting strains of a Chopin Nocturne. Nora was playing, and, much as James loved to listen, this gift of her musician father subtly disturbed him. It was late when he went to bed; and in the morning he gave Nora his ultimatum. If Im to consider your happiness, my dear, theres but one way out. Ill give that boy a job I dont say that he must keep it for a lifetime, but he must prove that hes got the stability to stick at something that will support you A year ought to show that. Nora; and youre both young. If at the end of that time he has saved money and shown himself even fairly efficient. Ill say no more. She gave me this for you." The two had never understood each other nor got along. Well, he sighed, the time had come when his girl must learn the truth, though it would hurt them both; so, as tenderly as such truth can be told, James told her. Nora had gone to boarding school after that; then to college, where she majored in music. Then came Europe, a gorgeous, colorful six months to Nora a lonely, dragging time to James. And on the way home, because her coms panion insisted on taking a boat, she met Don Mason who ever since, James Lambert told himself, had been eternally hanging around the house," that is, when he wasnt trailing off to some outlandish place where no one in his senses would consider going Even during his absences the fellow had written every day; and Leonora, who took a Pullman chair for an hours journey, was thrilled by his adventures in towns where there wasnt even a clean hotel1 It is, James had confessed to Ned the day before, an infatuation beyond my understanding And if she marries him," Ned predicted, "youll be supporting em all their lives, Dad Don Mason Is no good Hes a rolling stone It would have been some satisfaction to the girl in question had she known that James told her brother brusquely to mind his own busithat he would look after Leoness nora It was seldom indeed that his much loved son caused this somewhat fiery man to lose his temper; but now he was worried, and Ned s well aimed criticism touched a tender spot.

Climaxing long negotiations, Denmark agreed to sell the three historic islands Immediately after the Civil war for 35,000,000. Sumner's objection was forgotten by 1917, but by that time Denmark wanted $25,000,000, more money than the United State had paid for any territorial acquisition.

And there was Ned! if anyone had accused Ned Lambert of being inconsiderate of his sister's lover, he would have scoffed at the idea. Not until years later when life had somewhat tempered Neds cocksureness, did he suspect that his habit of pausing beside Don's desk to observe his work, much as a tearher keeps an eye on 'be progress of a stupid pupil, was gall and wormwood to the younger man.
