The gray-haired man of science bent over

CHAPTER Xxx.
CONCLusION.

Allen Gray found the remainder of his
life at Turleys Point irksome. He kept
the secret of the old house on the hill to
himself. AS he had no hopes of improving
his business at the Point, and he found it
daily growing more unpleasant, he deter
mined to make a change; although he Of
fered his press and material very cheap, no
one could be found to take him up.
Driven to desperation he at last be-
thought him of a scheme, whereby he might
be able to dispose of the IVesterp Republic
Those politicians and statesmen, Messrs.
Simmons and Strong, learning nothing from
defeat, Continued to war upon each other.
They had sufficient money to purchase the
newspaper, and, as Toney Barnes began to
evince desire to enter the journalistic
field he determined to make some use of
the poet.
"Toney, can't you get Mr.. Strong to buy
the Western Republic and put you in as ed
itor?'' Allen asked the poet one day, as he
came into the Office with fresh roll of man
uscript
II don't know l will see him about it,"
said Toney, his face becoming joyfully bright.
1t was an easy matter to set Miss Hopkins
after Tom Simmons, and when Tom learned
that there was danger Of Strong purchas-
ing the paper and using it as lever to
crush him, he made haste to raise the
money and buy the concern himself.
Thus released, Allen Gray, unmoved by
the sighs, tears and delicate insinuations
of Miss Hopkins, quilted the dull little Mis-
souri, town, and in Chicago sought new
fields of labor, with little.hopes, however, of
driving from his mind the sad memories
of the past.
He secured position as reporter on one
of the great city dailies, and for year his
