"Certainly,' said Grover. seating him
self ut the table where he did his own
writing. and which WAS well supplied with
writing materials. "Shall | date it -

relating to the case.
"'HuaH GORDON"
After finishing the dispatch Grover read
it aloud.
THAT will do" said Gordon. "You will
find the address and some money in IN. Of
my coat pockets"
Grover examined the coat. which. after
q thorough drying, mad been brought t,
the room but u few minutes before. and
reported that the pockets were entirely
empty.

pers and wallet were given Lawyer Gray
for safe keeping. If you can remember
the address. however. l shall be glad to
supply the cash"
Il can't remember the number" said
the other. "but if you address the telegram
to Stephen Farnsworth, attorney law,
near 81 Nassau street he will be sure to
get it,
Promising to do so Grover hastened down
stairs and the two young men set out for a
walk.
ii want to tell you Just what I have
DONE" said Eugene as they strollel along.
"You may think acted foolishly. but |
held off as long as possible. gave Galen

face.

thing wrong about the matter" he said.
III think not" replied Eugene. He then
gave his friend the whole history of the

"Would that be honorable ?"
Honorable! Certainly! Did he stop
- think of honor when he planned to rob
you of fifth of your fortune?"
That is true" said Eugene. out I see
no way to head Gray off now"
Talking in this vein the young men
lrsw near the telegraph Office and both
stood by while the messas" waa AsiSs
sent.
# ~, h.i only known that tho dis.
patch Grover was scnd,ns was designed
to accomplish the very end sorsht by
Eugene nos !ilcrcnt their feelings would
hav. h..cn
But Eugene considered the matter set.
tied fer good and all. When Grover con
graduated him on his good fortune ncithe,
suspected that the man whom ho WAS car
ing for us a brother and shielding from the
curiosity Of his ncighbors had greater rca.
.on to cherish in his bosom a deadly hatred
for Eugene than any man on earth. Thus
the rivals. who were enjoying the same
hospitality. struggled-one nnconsciously
against the other. But while one knew
every movement of tho other. that other
was ignorant even Of his rivals existence.
