THE NOVELETTE OX!] MAN S WAY (By Dorothy Dougles) "Xan," Sir John Dyke proposed gently so as not to startle the ioveiy young girl sitting so conhdingiy close to him in ins big car, "am I tar too oid for you to consider as a husband? I want you to marry me very, very much." A bright hush sprang into Nan's cheeks, and she turned her trustful blue eyes straight toward his own. "Oh, Sir John," she smiled softly, "you are offering me a great honor. I—I hardly know what to say. Your friendship for me, the hundred and me lovely little thing you do for me, your constant care and thought fulness have been the sweetest at tentions I have ever had." She gazed affectionatly at him. "I hardly think any younger man could have a tenth of the understanding that you have, and that means so much in happy marriages." "I feel sure I can make you far happier than some young, thought less cub who might continually be stabbing your so sensitive spirit. I don't want your development retard ed by a marriage with one of these young cubs with whom you are thrown in contact. You are far too big and fine and noble to imprison yourself in a three-room flat in Brooklyn. I want you to spread your wings and grow big. I can help you wonderfully, Nan." "It is only a reflection of your own bigness that you see in me," said Nan. "I was just a piece of clay stuck to a downtown office chair until you pulled me out of it and breathed real life and real thinking into mv brain." When Sir John Dyke would have contradicted her she stopped him with a hand laid soft ly over his. "I will marry you," she said, "and try to become exact ly what you want me to be. Mar riage should be just a finer welding of our friendship, and I love you enough to want to spend my life be side you." bu'joim, confused lor a fleeting second by her swift consideration and answer, stooped swiftly and pressed his lips to each of Nan's pink palms. The contact sent an unex pected stab at his heart. Nan's eyes opened wide, her lips parted with a swift intake of breath. A moment of tense silence follow ed, broken then by Sir John. His voice was not altogether steady. "You will not regret, my dear?" he questioned, and when she shook her head slowly, not trusting her voice, he added: "And you will promise to tel! me if any one captures the dom inant type of love from you—before —well, before it is too late?" "I promise to let you know," said Nan with serious eyes, "if any other love capable of jeopardizing your happiness comes into my life. And I also want you to know that my an swer to you now would be the same were you as poor as—as I am." Sir John laughed. "Splendidly said, Nan. But had I not known that already I should not have risked your happiness by asking you to blend your future with mine. Now," he added more lightly, "shall we lunch, then drive down and have a ring fitted? I* don't want a long engagement. May I send the an nouncement to the papers tonight?" "Your speed," laughed Nan, "is hardly British. "I am afraid Amer ica is affecting you." Later, when they stepped into the great jeweler's on Fifth evenue, a dozen clerks would have gone for ward to attend Sir John, but it was his nephew, learning the business from the counter, up who had the privilege. "I have long wanted you to meet this nephew of mine, Nan." said Sir John, performing the introduction, and then watched the meeting of his fiancee and his handsome nephew. Their giances met and clung and their hands drew apart with a swift ness of movement that sent a sharp pain through the heart of Sir John. Then Nan turned her startied, baf fled glance upon him and he re sponded to the silent appeal. I "We have come for a ring," said [John. "Miss Davis has honored me with her hand, and I want, this fin ger fitted with the purest and whit est stone you have." He followed his nephew into a private office, and iNan, with a curious sense of unex pected chaos in her emontions, walk ed silently beside him. i Events piled up rather quickly af ter that first meeting. Sir John j managed, first with the selection of many wonderful bits of jewelry for Nan to bring the two young people j together. Then there were cozy j dinners at his own glorious home on j Park avenue. And through these intimate hours John watched some thing growing between Nan and his I nephew. Their glances seldom met Dow, and Nan never permitted a mo 'ment alone with the younger man. Tnere was a frightened attitude about her that send a sadness over Sir John and a half savage defiance over the nephew. j All three tried in true blue-blood ied fashion to assume a calm exter ior, while inwardly a bomb seemed ;ever ready to burst. The inevitable 'drawing together of flaming youth seemed imminent. t It was a scant two months since the engagement had been made pub lic that Sir John, unable to stand the strain of suspense, withdrew from the drawing room after dinner and left the two together. He felt that it was only fail- that they should be alone in order to com^ to a definite understanding. He took his pipe land his thoughts out into the small space which he called his garden, and there in the quiet herded his emotions well into control that lit tle Nan might not know of the ache that we already heralding the loss of her. [ He had scarcely drawn the first draft of smoke from his pipe when 'lie jumped up tn encircle the slim, trembling girl who had flung herself into his arms. j "John, dear," she panted breath lessly, "please, please don't leave me so much with Jeff. He is beginning to think himself in love with me, and I am trying to ward it off. 1 love you so dearly that I can't bear to have any one else suffer-" I "But, Nan—Nan—surely you—" It was Sir John who now trembled. He had not supposed the worid cap able of offering so great a moment. And as the strong, protecting arms held her close and ever closed, Nan realized the full granduer of an un derstanding of love.
