Jane laughed, but she blushed In
■plte of.herself. Brand's words were
very clear and the prospects they pre-
saged very aJlnrtzg Inwardly, how-
•vsr, aire had grave doubta about the
propriety of accepting money from a
man wjio was almost a stranger, even
if It were for services rendered. But
she made no avowal of refusal. The
speeding auto, the Immediate exhilara-
tion. the thought of gratification of a
few desires and escape from her Impe-
cunious plight stirred up the bacteria
at ee If-Indulgence that had awakened
and spread poison throughout the
whole structure of her character.
Brand watched her; he read the men-
tal struggle and he struck home
"Why. If you think It Isn't right for
yon to accept any reward. Just regard
It in the nature of an advance. We
are sure to succeed and then when yon
have the forty thousand, you can relm-
burae me. If yoa want for the few fa-
vora extended now. We'll have that
understanding "
forty thousand dollars! Forty thou-
sand dollars! Forty thousand. The
figures ran In wild frolic through her
brain and danced before her eyes. The
Mil boards, aa they flashed paat, were
emblazoned with them. She looked
ahead and rows of figures were
stretched across the road The car ran
through them and over them, but
everywhere they sprang up snd leered
and beckoned. Forty thousand dol
kara! And ahe hadnt had forty dollars
of her own In slz months. Well, she
wasn't going to be a fool any longer.
Brand knew the way. His way would
be her way. She turned to him
gaickly.
"I'll do anything that you think beat

"Fine!" be exclaimed "Now 1 can

CHAPTER VIII.
The Great American Dollar.
Jane always had the first chance at
the mat. In their home. Bob left be-
fore the early delivery. He would
have Just as readily considered break
lng into a letter box as he would
opening anything addressed to her.
So she had no fear on that score, if
Brand chose to send her any com-
munication concerning their business
affairs she oould rest doubly assured
that her husband would have no
knowledge of It. But there were other
lettera that It waa just as well to
keep from Bob. She never let her-
self believe that she waa deceiving
him. It was merely that she did not
want to worry him with the petty de-
talls of the household cares. Tiadee-
men were so exacting and lnalstent
about having 'the bills paid promptly
and aometlmea, In her plan of manage-
ment she found it convenient to let
them wait Jane knew that her hus-
band was opposed to such tactics, but
what could a woman with such a
meager Income as hera do? If the
financing of the home was to be left
to her-and Bob believed that waa a
woman's right—she waa the one to
Judge. She was the one to decide
about the "economies" and the neces-
sary expediency in meeting debts.
Economy Is a word that most wom-
en define in a very liberal sense.
There are some who are more frugal
than others and who have an lnber-
ent faculty of making a little money
go a long ways. Jane considered her-
self of this class, but In reality her
taatea and lnatlncta were of the op-
posite order. She waa not extrava-
gant. for that would have been im-
possible, but her funds were so lim-
ited that "saving" from the houaehold
expenses simply meant poatponing
the Inevitable. Reynolds had Just
refreshments revealed thla She
might be weary of her Irksome and
humdrum life, but she was not weary
of her husband Nor bad she lost ma-
terially. he thought, any of those finer
feelinga of a real woman. That "1
cannot have you Interfere" had
rankled and hurt, but the wound
would heaL There was always the
chance that her husband's presence,
his devotion, his Innocent trust would
strike the chord of genuine sympathy
that existed between them and bring
a penitent confessor to hla feet She
was willing to worship at Mammon's
altar, but eventually her husband
must kneel beside her. Brand knew.
He knew a pigmy and he knew a
worthy foe. The burglar prowling In
the night knows the watch-dog la
loyal. He does not try cajolery with
a soft whistle or kind words. He of-

Jane to realities. She hurried to the

were from tradesmen. She recognised
the handwriting on the third aa that
of a girl friend. The fourth was la a

address was typewritten and the let-
ter bore a special delivery stamp Her
heart beat rapidly as she broke the
seal. She drew out a folded sheet of
heavy linen stationery and aa ahe
opened it a yellow back bill dropped
to the floor. With a glad cry she
stooped and picked It up. It waa one
