FIELD, MAILER & CO., Sd and Wabasha Sts., ST. Paul,

a notice to the young man of the change
that had been made in the will. lie
waited, therefore, to see its effect. TO
his surprise and delight the honorable
Philip continued his attentions to Kate
as earnestly as ever. Several days
passed, and theu another letter came
from MIR. Hatch to the honorable Philip.
The next day a telegram arrived.
Then, quite suddenly, Mr.. Terrington
informed Mr.. Fisher that he was called
back to England on pressing business.
Mr.. Fisher was Shocked-hOrrified
So. after all, the lad was the rogue he
feared. Henceforth the American
would put no trust in his sagacity in
Judging mems characters from their
words and looks.
As Mr.. Fisher expected, his little
protegee was greatly grieved over her
admirers sudden departure. She re-
tired to her room, and there INDUCED
her sorrow alone. Mr.. Fisher thought,
under all the circumstances that it
would be better for him to explain mat
tiers and show her what narrow escape
she had had. He accordingly sent for
her to his private room. and began his
story.
Kate suddenly interrupted him.
"Ah, papa dear!" she exclaimed, 81
know it all. | know everything. Philip
himself told me-"
Mr.. Fisher opened his eyes in amaze
ment.
Eyes, papa" she went on, 81 know
all about everything-far more than
You do; so instead of your telling me,
let me tell you, though i promised
Philip that l would keep his secret.
Philip was sent by Mr.. Hatch to catch
me because | was all heiresS. He had
to do as Hatch told him, for
he owed that bad man money
which he couldn't pay. But when he
saw me he really fell in love with me,
and when Mr.. Hatch told him of the
change in your will, and ordered him to
come back and not waste time or COM
parative pauper, he refused. Then Mr..
Hatch telegraphed to him, and wrote to
him, and threatened to ruin him, and
Philip has now gone back to try and ar
range matters and get out of Mr..
Hatch's hands, and then he's going to
settle down to work-he's a barrlster,
YOU knOW-and try and make home
for me. Poor fellow! He said he felt
that he was almost as big a Scoundrel as
Hatch"
Mi. Fisher listened to ali this outpour-
ing with amaZement. After sitting In
pensiye thought for moment or two,he
asked Miss Kate il Philip was going to
stop over night in Paris, and she told
him that he was at the Continental.
"Ah, very WE'LL" said the American.
Probably, then, you will see him again
tomorrow"
And she did see him. He arrived at
Nice late the next night, and received
warm welcome from Mr.. Fisher. The
two men had a private interview, when
the relations between Mr.. Hatch and
Mr.. Terrington were discussed, ond the
next day Mr.. Terrington started again
for England
The morning after his arrival in Lon
don Mr.. TerrlngtOn rose earlier than
was his wont and made his way to the
Office of his fathers legal adviser in
Bedford row. Mr.. Steele was very
eminent solicitor. and member of the
Council of the incorporated Law So
ciety. He was as honest and respect
able as Mr.. Hatch was thought to be.
He received the honorable Philip, who
was a favOrite of his, very heartily.
After a few preIiminaries the honor
able Philip explained his business. He
wanted the solicitor to step around with
him to Mr.. Hatch's Office in Gray's Inn.
Mr.. Steele was a little surprised at the
request, but at once agreed to comply
with it,
When they reached Mr.. Hatch's Of
fee, another surprise was III store for
Mr.. Steele; the honorable Philip re-
auested him to remain i'll the outer
room, while he went in to see Mr.. Hatch
in that gentleman's private sanctum.
Mr.. Terrington found Mr.. Hatch in,
and the solicitor seemed quite glad to
see him.
Il thought you'd change your mind"
he said with cold smile, thanks to
little pressure"
But haven't changed my mind"
answered the honorable Philip.
The solicitor gazed at him i'll angry
surprise.
'Do you mean to tell me that you still
intend to marry that twenty-thOusand-
dollar Americana he demanded.
Eyes, do, answered the honorable
Philip boldly.
"And Pm to whistle for my money,
am I?n said Mr.. Hatch. LET me tell
You, Mr.. Terrington, that I'm not to be
trifled with. You'll marry whom |
please, or you'll not marry at all. If
you go near that American girl again
will spoil your chances forever. Pll sell
you up, and show her and everybody
else the beggarly bankrupt you are"
That's game two can play at, Mr..
Hatch," replied the honorable Philip,
coolly.
what do you mean9" asked Mr..
Hatch, startled.
Il mean, Mr.. Hatch. that we both
have little affairs we would rather not
see made public. Now, for instance,
there are your letters to me. They're |
not creditable to me. and so | don't
want to publish them; but what would
the Incorporated Law society say to you
if l sent them to them? You see, they
disclose you in the very act of violating
a clients cOn1idence-using, in fact, !
professional knowledge of his private |
affairs in order to plumber him by one
fell swoop OF both his money and his |
daughter. What do you think the so
