"Excuse me for intruding. Bray-

Brayton winced. hesitated and in
sudden anger tore the letter into
bits which he tossed into the waste-
paper basket. Then he walked to
the window and started out with
jealous. miserable eyes. He knew
that his connection with the firm-
would soon end and that he would
have to take the position offered in
another city. He wished that he
had not dictated that letter to an
imaginary firm in Philadelphia.
"Have you a carbon copy of the

Pettit‘ was asking. He followed
Evelyn to her desk and she pro-
duced it.
"I understand that you are en-
gaged to the doctor." he remarked
mildly; “don’t let this venomous
letter annoy you or stir your faith
in him. He came to see my wife
last night—she is ill. you know, and
he was telling bout your engage-
ment. and that you expected to be

I am afraid that Brayton will have

Evelyn smiled through her tears.
"Please don't do that. Mr. Brown-
