The Herald learns that within
the next 30 days work will begin
on the Horton brick building next
to the A. A. Egg Red and White
Store. This lot. 35 feet wide, is own-
ed py Miss Bertha Horton of Edna
and Mrs. J. C. Dobbs Of Cuero, and
before the recent fire were occupied
by the Byars Music Store and R. A.
Drake's store and tailor shop. A
neat brick structure on these lots
will add no little to the appearance
of Edna’s business district.—Edna

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
EALTHY Alan Brennaway is in love with Shirley Dane,
beautiful, society girl, who is secretly engaged to Roger
ton. Alan, learning that Roger is to marry Shirley, lends
$500,000. He takes as collateral shares in a Macedonia de-

married, Shirley, ignorant of the loan, is incensed when Roger tells
her Alan is trying to force him to go to Macedonia. Receiving a
tip from Cynaz, shady financier, Roger visions the reduction of his
indebtedness to Alan. Jealous of Alan, Roger comes to the con-
clusion the loan was made because of Shirley.

where such wind as could enter
stirred the curtains.
He found himself, stammering,
staring, leaning against the win-
dow-post as he had leaned before
she came. But now there were no
elusion the loan was made because of Shirley. When Alan warns
Shirley of her extravagance, she tells of her investment in Corto
Bellas stock. Roger offers Alan $50,000 and Alan wonders where
the money is to come from. Roger resents Alan's probing into his
personal” affairs. Next day, the stock drops considerably. That
Sbirley learns that Roger has lost all her inheritance. Roger
tells Shirley Alan made the loan to win her and get rid of him.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
►you’ve not been given a chance to
speak a word and you will pre-
sently have to be driven back to
Roger through a record gale and
blizzard.” He looked at the clock.
“Shirley! I’ve been holding forth
—between large mouthfuls—for
nearly an hour. Why under heaven
didn’t you kick me?”
She rose with obvious reluctance
and went back to the fire. There
was a quality about that reluctance
that impressed him.
• “We ought to be pushing off,”
he said, uncertainly. “Roger knows
you’re here, of course?”
“Yes. Roger knows.”
Her tone impressed him still far-
ther. Certainly Roger and she had
quarreled.
“He’ll be getting anxious though,
or. a nigbt like this. I wish I had a
car here. You’ll have to let me

Mrs. L. A. Bauer and son, L. A.
Jr., left this aftrenoon for San An-
tonio on a visit.
Her hands were still composed!3
busy with the coffee things. Only
his overturned chair showed that
he had not dreamed her accusation.
“Roger has told me everything,”
she was saying. “About his father
and the desperate state he was in
when you helped him. When you
saw my name on his list of clients
and lent—gave him that money so
that less than half of that sum
might be restored to me.”
She poured out his coffee and,
rising with it in her hand—he
could note, even now, her absolute
steadiness of nerve—she put it on
the table; she righted his chair,
struck a match and lit the only
lamp, poured her own coffee.
While sne moved about, she talked.
“Roger, of course, qever really
intended to repay you. Roger in

Alan’s face was grim with
thoughts of Kelton when he re-
turned to the living-room with the
supper-tray.
Shirley was still by the fire but
she had takhn off the big boots and
was holding a sillc-covered foot to
the fire.

They sat down. He waited deftly
upon her, urging her to eat and
drink. He had added a bottle of
wine to the meal and would have
kept her glass filled but she would
only sip a little now and then.
“Are you plying me with wine
so that my tongue may be
loosened?” she demanded after his
third attempt. She flashed him a
smile. He returned it.
“Could you blame me?”
The meal progressed leisurely.
"How did you get fed in your
mining camp, Alan?”
In the event it was his tongue
that was loosened. With a skill
he only marked lated, in memory,
she drew him to speak of Mexico.
Mexico as he had known it,
wrestled with it, loved and hated
and conquered it. Hs pictured it
all for her, while the wind and
rain shrieked against the cottage.
He lived at again. , .
It was the beating of the wind
and rain that recalled him.

“Yes. Let me make you some
coffee, Alan.”
He repressed further protests.
You could not drive Shirley; pre-
sently, perhaps, she would be led.
. . . He got her the coffee ai£l
water and sugar she wanted aim
then sat down and watched her
make the good-smelling stuff. You
could not drive Shirley.
She was crouched down upon the
rug, measuring, stirring and pour-
ing. He looked down npon the
slender column of her neck, the
slope of her shoulders. For a mo-
ment, his hands, following his gaze,
hovered, closing and unclosing.
And in that moment she looked up
at him.
“You paid a half million for me,
have loved him so—and still love
him, you know, in a way. He’s had
a panic today over a deal in Corto
Bellas, and I frightened him into a
confession of what you had done.”
She sat down and stirred her
coffee. Alan made a dry sound in
his throat She went evenly on.
“When you did it, you didn’t, of
course, know that I was engaged
to Roger. Yon intended to tell me
what you had done for me; I
should then, of course, have mar-
ried you. When you found we
were engaged, you began to nag
at Roger about Macedonia. He was
to get the money back that way;
if he failed, if he was destroyed,
it became simple again—I should
be free.
