was Paddy's quick retort, indicating
his belief that Satan was somewhere
in close proximity. A cold shiver mus
have agitated his spinal when he felt
hand on his shoulder He waited
long enough to feel assured
that the hand was not hot
one, and that its owner was
not his Satanic majesty. Then he
looked around and saw Albert Nilved
enjoying hearty laugh.

ing?"

piled, land on very urgent mission,

told my father what you would do for

'I'm yer man." and Paddy placed his
roughened hand between those of his
former employers son. "I'll do any
thing inside av the law"
"Then do you see this piece of paper?"

said Albert TO himself, as he
fastened homeward. But she will

then can explain all if this bashful-

When the ceremonies began in the
afternoon the Master of Evergreen
was called upon 10 read the Declara-
ton of independence, which he did in
q highly creditable manner. AS he
descended from the stand his eyes met
those of Viola Belden. She was the
first to congratulate him and after
wards they sought the secldsion of a
narrow glade that led to the river
below. AS they proceeded both
seemed surprised. Their conversation
was not on the subject that each in
tended it should be. The Master of Ev-
ergrcen said nothing of love.
Viola said nothing of the note she
had received.
The situation became disagreeable
and they soon retraced their steps.
They parted on the lawn and met no
more that day.
Neither did they ever meet again.
A few weeks afterwards all that was
mortal of pretty Viola Belden was laid
away in the village churchyard.
Nobody seemed to know the malady.
Some said it was broken heart. She
being the only child the Beldens
in their deep bereavement adopted
another year later.
When little Florence Allen came into
the Belden household she was 12 years
old. She looked like Viola and that
name was given her in tender remem.
brance of the real Viola.
Ten years have passed away since
Viola Belden died. The Independence

''He has never been the same since
he returned from California" she con-
tinued, if pressed for further informa-
ton. "He met someone there who
touched his heart"
There is little wonder that the
gossips were busy unravelling the mys-
terry of Alberts single blessedness. He
had now attained his Send year. He
lived alone on the old Nilved home
stead above the village. For a good
many years no woman had crossed the
threshold of his pretty country home,
which, with it's great broad terraces
resembled the summer seat of Roman
advocate in ancient Pampeii.
The great snow white pillars
which supported the. terraces
could be seen among the
evergreens for mile away. When he
returned from California after the
death of his father, the retinue of fe-
male house servants were discharged
and replaced by Chinese. Nobody ever
knew the reason for the change. The
young master was delicate on this
point and to avoid Investigations kept
out of the social gatherings. During
the past few years he became known as
the Silent Man. Others called him the
Mystery of Evergreen Terrace. The
village bellies had all had their
turn for the honor of bringing him out
and introducing him at the little affairs

request that a money order for the

He heard something Of the matter through
