self to little sedate OF profound thought.
Events had occurred with such rapidity
and close succession that life was really
whirling with him.
1t was only as he drew near the hotel
where the mother and daughter were
staying that he realized that, after all,
the one thing which seemed important
to him above all others was this visit.
Why, he was at a loss to tell, and it
was with something of a shock that he
was compelled to confess to himself that
above all and through all the beautiful
face of Annie Templeton. had been be-
fore him constantly.
Men will deceive themselves, Just as
Holbrook did, when he answered his
w awakening by saying: ''Her face
haunts me as a beautiful picture l some
times see will linger with me for days"
The ladies met him in the public par
lor of the hotel. They welcomed him as
a highly priced friend, and the trust
with which they fairly threw themselves
upon him was very pleasant.
They had waited for him a~nxiously,
and they were deeply interested in the
smallest detail of the business he had un-
dertaken for them. They hung upon
his words as if he were to bring them
salvation.
MY first STEP" he said. Twill be to
take out. letters of administration for
Mrs. Templeton, and this done we can
take possession Of all your brothers af.
fairs"
He explained to them that the proceed
ings were likely to be long delayed and
vexatious, and it was not long before he
found himself installed not only as legal
counsel. but az adviser upon all points in
family matters.
It was very agreeable to him, 10 be the
recipient Of all the little condolences as
to family details, cost of living. the
ways and mean - and he. who fo1
twelve years had lived a bachelor life,
found domestic considerations highly in.
teresting. especially when presided over
by a beautiful girl who paid special def.
erence to his own wisdom.
It was agreed that they should return
to their home in Plainfield the following
day, and set it in order for a prolonged
| absence.
While they were gone he was to OBJ.
tain for them apartments, where they
would be at less expense than a hotel
and secure greater comforts.
He did not tell them Of the suspicious
entertained by Tom Bryan and himself,
for, in truth, he would have found ii
difficult to have presented them In ar
Ineligible manner, Il he had thought Il
wise to arouse hopes he was not certain
q realizing.
Touching the muEdss. b informed
them that q series Of inquiries had beer
instituted, but that ~ yet It was impcs
sible to say anything a. to the result.
Finally he drew away from the sub
ject in which the two ladies were &C
much interested, and directed theil
thoughts 10 other channels. Thus he in
duced them % lay aside their sorrow,
for q time, until tho hours passed 30 rap.

He VA more and pleased with
the character Of Annie Templeton, her
a-rtlessaess and sincerity and her charms
Of mind and temper.
That night he sat long in his Dol at
the open window over his cigar, bis
thoughts busy with the charming young
girl with whom, through accident appar-
emily, he stoed in closer relation than
any other man. and he grew very tsnder
over them.

A Turning Question.

! am curious to know what it is that makes
painting by one artist worth $4,000, and
painting by another, though equally good,
perhaps even better, worth but $40. saw
some pictures recently by a painter who can
just keep his head above water, which are as
well painted as arc the canvases of many
artists who are on the topmost wave of popu-
larity. Perhaps you will say they lack the
sacred fire. On the contrary, they possess it
to a greater degree than some of their more
fortunate fellow craftsmen. And yet they
will lie in unknown graves while the others
have lofty monuments reared above THAR
heads. / wonder what makes the difference
Sometimes / think 1t is enterprise, industry
and tact-merely commercial qualities, that
have nothing to do with the intrinsic merit
