(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
N his time Ulyssr X. Form, like
many another man. had seen
many a. woman cry.
And the sight of more had come
.; to have no more elfect upon him
,. than the sound or laughtei‘. The pass-
ing years had made him hard—hard.
and cold as Bessemer steel.
His dead wife. Sarah. had always
cried when she wanted her own way.
His only daughter, Sally. had always
cried when she wanted her own way.
Ulysses was used to tears. For thirty
years his life had been dampened
by them.
But the weeping oi the slim wo-
man who 53? beside his desk at this glasses. and looked sharply at May. 3'
moment.'was not like any other
weeping that Ulysses had ever wit-
nusod.
. :l Eur one thing. May made no noise
~When she cried. She did..not. as
Ulysses put it to himself. “biubber.”
Ear nose did not swell. Her eyes
.did not redden. , f , l j
The tears simply rolled from them
down upon her ivory cheeks. and
her elm-let mouth trembled. She
cried beautituily. dabbing‘her eyes
with a small handkerchief.
"There, there!" Ulysses tound him.
self saying in the_soothlng tone it
rather might have used to calm his
crying baby. “Don't cry. Don't cry."
May drew a long sobbing breath.
“All right." she falter-ed. “I won't—"
She raised her eyes,to Ulysses in
' an April smile. Then the smile faded
from her race. leaving it very grave.
“You. Mr. Forgan," she said. as it
a sudden. arresting thought had
come to her, “are a man' of iron.
‘ I saw that the minute i laid eyes
on you. ‘There.’ I said to myself.
'is a man or iron.‘ " ._
Ulysses moved uncomfortably in
his swivel chair. it‘was years since
a woman had taken the trouble to
talk to him about himself to Better
him.
"it's true." he Answered stilliy.
"that lite has made me more or less
stony. perhaps, Mrs. Seymour."
“No. no." May shook her head.
"Stones crumbles. sometimes. Iron
doesn't! You're ironl You wouldn’t
care it people said cruel, smndalous
things about you. You wouldn't
feel it. would you? . . . And, ooh

you want to sell your house? So
you need never set foot in this town

Mny nodded. She pressed her
handkerchief to her eyes. once more.
"I can’t lace them . . . the people
in this town," she sobbed. "You
probably know what they said when
my husband shot himself—«hat it
was because i was in love with
Jimmy CareWe . . ."
Tears choked her voice.
Ulysses leaned back in his chair.
frowning. Somehow or other. the
thought of this Mrs. Seymour having
an affair with Jim Curuvo or any
other man has most disquieting to
him. .
"‘No tool like an old tool!" he re
