Maguire's intervention on behalf of Dave was as as an ac- complished fact; he would do his ut- most, whether his suit prospered or not. Certain of. that, Nora remained cool to his wooing. = Having married | one man without Joving im, che could" hardly imagine erself com- mitting @ similar blunder with anoth- er, The truth was, as she acknowledged | to her self, she cared more for Jerry | than she had done before het mar-| riage, She was unhappy because he | came 50 seldom to see her; still more | unhappy did each visit make her, be-| cause he never intimated the least de-| sire to revive the old relation. | Almost agdinst her will she could not help showing him sometimes how much she cared. "You're so dull, Jerry," she com-| plained on one occasion. "I believe you come to see me as a duty, just as; you might occasionally come to see! mother if I weren't here, Don' A bis get any more pleasure out of it than: that 7" L "Oh, I dare say once I'm '= lawyer I shall be as chi as a lark," Jerry | answered.

"Of course 1 don't wonder that 'you have that idea ahout me. But can't you see how it was, Jerry? Every-| thing looked so hopeless, and I was foolish: and believed that Charley, Corcoran really cared for me, - It seemed the eastest way out, and I was! weak enough to take it. Don't you think that I've learned my lesson?" "1 can't help wondering. You're attractive, Nora, awfully attractive, | but there's a question in my mind | about you that never used to be there." y Sheé 'flushed, but said humbly, trem- ulously, "What is that?" "It's a "question of your--your sturdiness. .
