itC NttO tIOt tiONCs Out ohOP-
ped laughing. Oh, how his
head did ache No. it had
stopped aching. Where was
he? Oh. yes. Beth was with
him, and was sobbing. Why
was she crying? He didn't
remember, but thought that
he was connected with it in
some way, he didn't know how.
He lifted her head from his
knee. bent down and kissed
her. Kissing her many times,
and drew her up folding his
arms about her, and telling
her he was sorry. What he
was sorry for he couldn't have
said.
He got up, and drawing her
to him, kissed her again and
again. and said: "Good-by,
Beth"
He could see her lips move,
but he didn't hear anything.
He went to the door, opened
it and went down to the street.
and wondered why the horses
and wagons didn't make any
noise. How silently they went
along how quiet everything
was. He couldn't even hear
his own footsteps. He look
ed at his watch and saw that
it was almost IL o'clock. The
bank had been open two hours.
He would be late for business.
Well. he would hurry.
John had forgotten that he
was no longer cashier of the
Drovers' bank ; he only re-
membered that he would be
late at his desk. He reached
the bank, walked in. took off
his coat and hat and started to
90 behind the desk. Mr..
Knicker confronted him, and
suddenly saw it all again. The
note. the newspaper and the
night before at Beth's. This
man. this benevolent looking
old gentlemen, who was frown-
ing at him now. had branded
him as a thief.
Its a lie !" he shouted.
Great God. how his head
ache. Well. he had told Mr..
knickcr that it was a lie he
could go now.
He took down his coat and
hat, put them on, and went out
into the street. How was this ?
This wasn't the city street he
had just left this was the old
grass grown lane running be-
fore his old home. How the
sun shonc! How the birds
sang There was the yard with
the old farm wagons and hay
stacks standing at one side.
and yes-yes-there was the
old tortoise shell cat summing
herself on the fence. There
were the old milk pans bright
as silver, standing in a row on
the grass by the kitchen door.
But best-for best of all-there
was his mother; his mother,
who had lain in the church
yard up on the hill for ten
years, holding out her arms
to him.
"Oh, mother! oh. my dear
old mother |" All was black.
When John regained con-
sciousness there were many
faces around him. but the light
was so dim that he could not
see whether he knew them or
not. He heard someone say.
in a soft voice "He has open
cd his eyes" Then one Of the
faces leaned forward and kiss
cd him. 1t was Beth.
John, John, don't you know
me !"
John lifted his arms and
pressed the sweet face to his
breast.
John, here is Mr.. Knicker
come to tell you it is all a ter
rible mistake"
John didn't look at Mr..
knlckcr. but kept his eyes on
the sweet face close to him.
His hand gently smoothed her
hair. and he kissed her lips.
Beth, my darling Beth, how
| love you. Ofcourse ] for
give you, and we will GO
His voice sounded strange and
weak. How hard it was to
talk. I'VE will go and get
married. won't we dear? Why,
there is mother. Mother, this
is Beth. We are going to be

with peculiar look.
Almost the identical words
knickcr had used in his note,
ohp turned without a word
and left the house. He did
not put on his ovcrcoat, al
though the night was cold. He
tipped his hat over his eyes
and walked. He now rcali
zed how sick he was. His
head throbbcduntil he thought
it would burst. What did he
care 1t even made him smile
a little to think of it. He pull.

that its tightncss hurt him. He
wondered If that woui,. make

All there was the afternoon
paper. He would read the
accounts ofthc misery of others
and smile to think how much
more miserable he was than
any of them. He picked il
up, glanced it over, and was
about to lay it down again
when his attention was arrest

about Mr.. Knicker's note,
Beth's message had inflicted
a so much deeper sting that
he had almost forgotten the
note, but he would read the
article, and he thought he
should feel pleased to learn
that knicker had been cheat

This morning, when p. V.
Knicker. the president of the
Drovcrs' bank. reached the
office, he found a note telling
him that his cashier. John
