faithful servant had kept the place oper
and in order while she was gone. and Il
seemed as fresh and bright when she
got back as though she had never been
away. Rush noticed the delicate odo,
OF violets that hung about everything
that belonged to Helen, and it brought
her as wildly before his eyes rs if She
stood there in all her loveliness. He had
not long to wait before she did stand be-
fore him in her bodily presence. She
came towards. him with both hands ex-
tended.
You must excuse my neglige, Mr..
| Huristone, but didn't want to keep Won
waiting, and-I wanted to see YOU
Aunt Rebecca will be down in a few mo-
ments, but she is SO busy with trunks that
she can't come at once. Sit right down
here on this sofa and tell me how you are
and how you've been"
Il needn't ask you how you are" said
Rush, at last finding voice to speak.
Seating himself beside her, he regarded
her with undisguisedr admiration. He
might well think her lovely; less preju-
diced eyes would have agreed with him
thoroughly. She had been helping Aunt
Rebecca with the trunks, and had donned
loose morning gown of soft white stuff,
trimmed down the front and around the
neck and sleeves with dark fur. The red
upturned point of gold embroidered
Turkish slipper peeped out from beneath
her gown and gave the only bit of color
to her costume. Her brown hair was
done up in careless classic knot on the
top OF her head, and she looked as though
she had Just stepped out of frame and
it would take very little to make her stem
back again
Nothing could be kinder than her
manner to Rush. Her object seemed to
be to make him forget himself and his
troubles, and she talked about every
thing Of interest she had seen. Rush
followed her vaguely, for he could not
shake off the load uron his heart. The
more she talked and the more beautiful
she looked, the worse he felt. Among
other things, she asked him if he had |
seen anything of Uncle Lightfoot Myers
while she was away. He replied that he
had not seen him, but that Mr.. MYERS
had left his card at his lodgings.
u wonder if he is in town now. When
was it that he left his card?'
Rush ran over in his mind all that aw-
ful time. He remembered his feelings
when he found the old gentleman's card,
md the recollection was more than he
could bear
1T was only few days ago, he man
Ised to say Il had just got back from
lone. And, with this memory fresh in
lis mind, he buried his face in his hands.
lis frame shook with suppressed sobs
md the hot tears forced their way :
through his fingers.
If you are inclined to call this an I'M
manly exhibition, you must remember ]
hat his nerves were strung up to high t
itch, that he had gone through great ]
eal during the past few days, and was
ot master of himself. Helen regarded {

aking his hot head between her cool, L
oft palms, she kissed him gently on the /

con Just, too, as he was winning foI
himself conspicuous and important
! place in the metropolis, and (bitterer
than alb just as he was trying to make
every straw weigh in his favor with
/ Helen Knowlton. 1t was cruel blow,
and it took all his manhood to rise up
under it. His associates at the office of
The Dawn showed the best side of their
natures. They were kind and consider
ate all through this trying time. AL
though the story of the fraudulent mining
company and the suicide and its attend
ing incidents were the sensation of the
hour, they printed as little of it as posi-
bic, and kept Rush's name out altogether.
he had no sooner returned to New
York and settled down to work again
than Archie Tillinghast called upon him
and by his gentle and manly sympathy
scaled their friendship with seal that
nothing could ever break. He also
brought kind words from Bessie
Archer and her mother and an in
vitation from Mr. Archer to spend
the following Sunday with them. Rush
was sincerely touched by these ex-
pressions of sympathy, for he almost
felt himself ostracized by the disgrace
that had befallen him; and the finding
OF Uncle Lightfoot Myers card at his
lodgings one day did more towards con-
vincing him that there was something
worth living for, after all, than anything
that had happened since his disgrace,
for it showed a kindliness of spirit on
the part of mere acquaintance that he
had no reason to expect.
A short letter from Aunt Rebecca, who
of course had heard nothing of the
tragedy that had cast SO deep a shadow
over the life of her young friend, an
nounced that she and Helen would sail
from Liverpool on the LIST of September,
SO that they were nearly due in New
York at the time Rush received the letter. |
With what conflicting emotions he read |
this announcement A few weeks ago it |
would have thrown him into an ecstasy
Of delight; now he buried his face in his
hands, and his thoughts were not pleas
ant thoughts. Would Helen look upon
Johns conduct as disgracing his brother?
Would she think there was crime in the

himself, ''for it would reflect upon her

You must tell me everything about

taking his hand
Whatever success have had, or am

sentiment in his voice.

So they said good-by, and in a short
time Rush was on board the steamer
bound for Liverpool. Archie Tillinghast
came down to see him off, and brought
= pleasant message from the Archers-
Bessie and all. They congratulated him
on his foreign appointment, and hoped
that it was but the stepping stone to bet
ter things at home. And so Rush sailed
from New York. He was good sailor.

a good deal of his time in writing letters

and in sealing them with the orbidden

from this imaginary correspondence was
really astonishing.

Overhauling the Leagues LedgeTs
Reporter COffey TeStifies.

LONDON, March 12-The Parnell Com
mission resumed sitting to-day. An ac-
countant testified that he had examined
the books of the HiberDian Bank, but
was unable to trace the persons to whom
the money on the checks had been paid,
or whence the checks came. Between

the League received G261 ,2e9, and paid
out e261 ,276. The bank refused to allow
witness to examine its lodgment slips.
The League paid to the Ladies' League
e12, 1906, and to the relief fund e2, OPS,
and disbursed 100000 in defenses OF
prisoners.
Witness further testified that he had
examined the Leagues books. The total
receipts in 1883 amounted to ell 900, OF
which America sent $1,000 and Aus
tralia and New Zealand e8 900. In 1874
the receipts were ell ,0G0; in 1885, e1S,-
000; in 1886, Ell 900. The National
Leagues total receipts were over G100,-
900. Counsel for the witnesses applied
for an order for examination of Parnell's
private account with the National Bank.
Parnell gave assent to the examination.
Cofey, a reporter from Cork, testified
that he made statement to policeman,
who promised him he should be paid be.
yond his greatest expectation. Witness
declared the statement absolutely false.
He had received Els from the Times.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHICAGO, March ia special from
Norwalk, Conn.,, says: 'Mrs. Thomas
b. Cunning, daughter of Senator Leland
Stanford of fCalifornia, and one of the most
estimable ladies here, has been troubled
beyond measure by the conduct Of her
husband, who, if current reports be true,
has not only squandered her money, but
has divided his attention with other
women. She applied to the Superior
Court for divorce. Meantime her hus-
band made use of her signature upon
checks for large amounts, and with the
funds thus obtained extended his outside
performances, going to Canada to be in
fashion. Having squandered all, he re-
turned, like a prodigal son, to beg the
abused wife's pardon.
''The visit was flying one, but long
enough for him to learn that Mrs. Gun
ming would agree to no reconciliation.
Then Cunning went to South America,
where he now is. 1t is said that he got
away with over half million dollars OF
his wife's money before she began to re-
alize the enormity of his operations. Then
she put her foot squarely down. In court
last Friday she easily made it apparent
that her case was just, and an absolute
divorce was granted"

HEARTLESS SHARKS.
The Way They Cleaned Ont House to Realize
on q MOrtgage-A Sick Child without
Warmth-Edibles Taken

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 17.-Max Met
ger, a young German machinist, told a
pitiful story to the police this morning
Last fall his wife fell, and being too poor
to hire a nurse he had to leave his work
and care for her himself When she
died he had no money left with which to
bury her, so he borrowed $50, giving
chattel mortgage on his furniture. After
a time he was out of work and was I'M
able to meet the payment of his mort
gage. The holder was lenient with him
and all was we'll, but this creditor died a
short time ago and the mortgage passed
into unknown hands. Last night
when he returned from his work he
found that the holder of the
mortgage had broken into the house and
stripped it of everything, leaving his
three small children only the protection
of the bare walls. The police will en-
deavOr to find the heartless sharks.
The way the mortgage men cleaned out
the unfortunate man S rooms was some
thing extraordinary. They carried out
everything the apartments contained eX-
cept the stove, bed and tables There
was some discussion about these, but fin
ally the Goals were drawn from the stove
and it, too, was taken away. A loaf of
bread left on the table by the father for
the children was also taken, and the con-
tents of Il pitcher were spilled
on the floor so the men would take the
pitcher. The table was carried and
sick child was taken from the bed, which
was taken to pieces and with the clothing
was carried away. Only the straw tick
was left, and on this the suffering little
child was laid without anything to cover
IN,
ers then left, after carefully searching
every closet and taking everything they
could find.
The little children were frightened so
that they were afraid to leave the house,
and they crouched upon the straw tick
and shivered with cold and fear until he
came home,

he would be willing to retire, but
he did not care to be examined before
being pardoned. He thought he was

hof made physical examination, and
reported to the board that they had found
