was spoken by Laport's companion
for q mile or two except an occasional
direction as to speed. But after an
hours ride they came to . group of
houses, when she said: ''It is neces-
sary that we show ourselves here. You
are to preserve the air of the father
of the family-that is all"
At the largest of the houses the party
drew up and asked for q drink of wa
ter of man at the door. While it was
being served Laport remained in the
road-the rest drew up chatteringly at
the door and managed adroitly to tell
the man how they had been disap-
pointed in their ride and were hurry
ing back to Shirleyville. Some ques-
tions were also asked about better
roads; and then, with fippant jests,
some coin was flung to the man and
they started of again. It was now
half-past three o'clock and a ride of
half an hour brought them to an inter

other highway. Your horse has q good

She then struck her animal and La
port followed her. The pace was a
painful one, for he no longer had the
suppleness of youth. But differentiation
supplied him with endurance, and they
rode at a rapid pace through an pnin-
habited tract, and he was much re-
lieved when they turned once more into
well-traveled road that ran in a west
erly direction, and his companion said:

CHAPTER Y.

OnA61Es6 v.
On Friday morning . tired and dusty
traveller In Q miserable Tennessee
wagon was driven up to the rugged
acclivity in Henderson county now
known as Fort Surges. It was then .
wild, overgrown region and all the
traveller and the negro who drove him
could see sticking out of the brush
half mile up the rocks was the I'M
painted roof Of q small frame house.
The traveller got out, stamped his feet
as if he was cramped by long riding,
gave the negro q two-dollar bill and
began climbing the rocky bank
1t was Laport-
He sat down on the doorstep of the
house somewhat winded by the climb
and looked about him. The prospect to
the east and north was open revealing
what appeared to be desolate wilder
ness of rocks and forests, with here
and there the blue peaks of the distant
mountains showing between. While
he sat there, the door opened; a man
whom he did not recognize appeared
and spoke to him Familiarity.
''Come inside, professor can
rest yourself much better indoors.
He looked at the speaker. 1t was
Kent, but save for something in the
tone of his voice, Laport did not know
him. He appeared broader and heavier
and older.
He considerably assisted Laport to
rise, saying: ''I've been waiting break
fast for you. You may dismiss further
anxiety. Your troubles are ended. You
must be hungry after your long ride"
Once inside the house, Widespread
table presented itself and the men sat
down.
LET u.s." said Kent, "avoid the
usual formalities. Explanations will
prepare the way to rest. You are
naturally amazed at what has taken
place and anxious to know the motives
of my action. / will proceed at once
to relieve your mind and replenish
your system. Let me advise you to
drink coffee-it is a necessary prophy-
Tactic in this place."
He called to q servant who came in
from the one other apartment and
brought the meal. Laport looked on
with expectancy and was silent, while
Kent both ate and talked.
''You have been most cruelty
wronged," he said. ''You are not
guilty of murder, for that was not

Ono MANS Idea Of the Proper Sphere Of
A discussion arose lately at dinner
table upon the basis of the right Of
suffrage, when the following colloquy
took place:
81 do not think" said one of the
party, ''that all men should indiscrim-
inately be permitted to vote. There
must be some restriction; and If you
tear away all barriers, you may as well
extend the privileges still further and
admit women to the polls"
"Women!' quickly replied spirited
lady on the opposite side of the table
"a disciple. perhaps, of Miss Grimke.
''And why should women not vote? Do
you mean to say we are inferior to the
other sex?''
"By no means, madam. The ladies,
l admit, have generally their intel
lectual powers as vivid and as well
cultivated as those who have assumed
the title of lords of creation but,
then, l like to see them in their proper
sphere"
"'Their proper sphere" And pray.

deem their proper sphere?"

For two or three years a tall young
man representing an eastern life in.
surance company has been staying
from time to time at San Francisco
hotel. His name was Fennell and
many people have been smiling audi
bly, lately over an experience he had.
One morning recently, according to
the San Francisco Examiner story,
he rushed into the nglo-Californian
bank and said to the President, who
vas very busy writing;
Il would like to see you, sir, just
for few minutes"
Il can't talk toyou this morning,
said the President. "My time is too
valuable. I've got an imrn nnse
amount of work to do and can DOS
sibly stop. Minutes are money to Inc
now"
"What is your time worth, any
way?" demanded the agent, with
slight asperity, lily cOncealing his dis
appointment.
"a dollar minute" responded the
banker with equal promptness,
cali right" said the agent, reach
ing into his pocket and drawing forth
a twenty dollar gold piece. "I'll take
twenty of them and talk twenty min
utes"
$50 ahead" said the man of money
raking down the coin.
Then the insurance man rolled of
a beautiful story with scarcely a
punctuation mark in it, the Banker
Ill the time holding his watch.
"You can't insure me-" said tho
banker.
"All right; but listen" was the re-
sponse.
He talked till the full twenty min
utes were up. Then the flnancier put
his time piece in his pocket, firm as
ever to his conviction that he needed
no insurance. Moreover, he kept the
s2O.
Mr.. Fennell went away disgusted.
Since then he has ! paid anybody
for his time.
