Good-bye,_
NELLIE MINTURN.
Leslie read this aloud.
"It's a relief to know that much," she said with a deep breath. "I can't
imagine myself ever being 'faintly tempted," but if I am, surely she is
right about the 'horrible example.' Douglas, whatever did James Minturn
have in that box?"
"I could tell you what I surmise, but so long as I don't _know_ I'd better
not," he answered.
"As our mutual friend Mickey would say, 'Nix on the Swell Dames,' for me!"
said Leslie determinedly.
"Thank God with all my heart!" cried Douglas Bruce.

CHAPTER VIII

_Big Brother_

"I've no time to talk," said Douglas Bruce, as Mickey appeared the
following day; "my work seems too much for one man. Can you help me?"
"Sure!" said Mickey, wadding his cap into his back pocket. Then he rolled
his sleeves a turn higher, lifted his chin a trifle and stepped forward.
"Say what!"
It caught Douglas so suddenly there was no time for concealment. He
laughed heartily.
"That's good!" he cried. Mickey grinned in comradeship.
