@ORA AND AMY GLANCED AT
III each other rather apprehensively.
- Was Agnes going to tell them some
thing else about the Smith ~girl-going to
say, Did you notice thisY" or Ibid you
see that?" in reference to some detail that
displeased her. They had worked them
selves up into quite a state of indignation
against lilly and the boys, and of increased
sympathy with Agnes; but they were SO
tired of hearing, did you notice this?"
did you see that?' when there had been
such uninterssting little things to notice"
ito see."
With these approximations fitting through
their minds. the two girls seated them
selves to listen with very languid interest.
But what was'that Agnes was unfolding-a
newspaper? And what was it she was say
ing as she pointed to a certain column?
She wanted them to read that! The cous.
ins looked at each other in a dazed, inquir-
ing fashion, and Agnes, starting forward.
impatiently thrust the paper into Dora's
hand and cried sharply Read that; read
thatl'
Dora in n bewildered way read aloud this
sentence, which, in big, black letters stared
her in the face:
''Smithson, alias Smith,"
well, go on, go on, read what Is under
meath" urged Agnes, ms Dora stopped, and
Dora went ON and read:
IN seems that aroh schemer and swindler,
Frank Smithson, who got himself out Of
She country SO successfully with his ill
gotten gains from tho Star Mining COM
pany, has dropped the last syllable from
his too notorious name. and is now figuring
in South America under the name of Smith.
His wife and young sons are with him, and
she three are living luxuriousiy in the su-
burbs of Rio. where Smithaon has rented q
villa. An older child, a daughter of four
teen, was left behind in this country with
Hmithson's brothers. widow, who has also
taken the name of Smith. They are stay
ing at q summer resort not far from Bos-

The bewildsred look on Dora's face did
not disappear as she camc 10 the end of
this statement.

own silence at the moment Impressed Will
very strongly, as Agnes fully intended. and
when a minute later she slipped her hand
over Dora's arm and went with her towards
the tenni ground. and lilly refused to tell
him what this something that was "up"
was. honest viii felt convinced that the
"something" must be very queer indeed.
Poor lilly saw and understood at once
the nature of the impression that Will had
received: but what could she do? 1t WAS
certainly better to keep silence than to
speak and tell that dreadful, dreadful story
of ''Smithson, alias Smith" Even, yes.
even if it were true-for Tilly. in spite OF
her vehement defence, her stout declara-
ton of disbelief at the first, had u shud-
dering fear at her heart as she thought of
that last paragraph about the girl of four
teen and OF that letter to South America
Il shudderinG fear that the story might be
/ true; but even then she would not be one of
those to point a finger at poor, innocent
| Peggy. for whatever her father might have
| done Peggy was innocent.
There was one person, however, that Tilly
/ could speak to-could ask oounse of-and
that, of course, was her grandmother.
| Grandmother, she was quite sure. would
agree with her that the story was not to be
| enatted about; and even if il was true
that Mrs. Smith and Peggy were those very
Smithsons, neither was to blame; but only.
rs she had heard her father say once of the
| family of a man who had proved n de-
faulter-'innocent victims. who were very
| much to be pitieo,"
! Blu perhaps Grandmother would not be-
i lieve that Mrs. smith and Peggy were
| "shoss Smithson," anu perhaps she would
find some careful way TO investigate the
| matter and prove that they were NOT. With
this hope %sprinRine up over her fears. lilly
flew along the corridor to her 2randmoth-
er's room.

"In what paper was 1t that Agnes found

know which one-i only remember seeing
the date"
Grandmother rang the bell and sent for
all the morning papers. When they we're

began the search for "Smithson, alias

been Dragging about his ability as a lawyer.
A colored man was charged with stealing
a mule and placed his case in the hands Of
q young lawyer who had few briefs. The
trial came on, the evidence was heard. and
though the attorney for the defense made
a great show of cross-duestioning and in
dulged in tremendous flights of ~oratory in
his address to the jury, no doubt of his
guilt remained, and without leaving their
| seats the good men and true brought in
their verdict.

There was no response from the prisoner.
