It was ten o'clock-just time for court to Convene-when Nan closed her desk. The courthouse was only a few blocks away; ahe wouldn't miss much of his speech

"Merry Chirstmas, Nani Look at the little Santa Claus that has come to see you! Hurry, lover! Mother hasn't a minute to waste-" And Iris Morgan, her lovely face brilliant with wintry colour, impa- tiently ushered her little son into the office.

She was about to clear the mess from the table when her eyes rested on a thick sheet of letter paper, covered with bold black writing. ispon which were superimposed some of Curtis' impressionistic drawings.

"The little devil!" she thought, snatching up the sheet.

"He's got into my files when I wasn't looking. No! Where in the world did this come from?"

Her startled eyes swept from the salutation: "My darling Iris," to the single initial "B" with which the letter was concluded. Then, her breath drawn in sharply, she began to read:

"Oh!" Nan wheeled from the hat "My darling Iria: Please don't tree. "I thought you, were at the torture yourself and me with your court house, Mrs. Morgan.
