SOME people under the slightest pre-
text, and others without any excuse
whatever, ABANDON their country homes
and go to the city for taste ofcity life.
Many who go to the city, do SO expect
ing to live without hard work to Lave a
life of ease and contentment, and to
make a fortune in few years, How
vastly mistaken are these and how soon
experience, bitter experience teaches
them wisdom. The cost of living in the
city il very much greater than that in
the country, and continues to grow
more expensive every year. A fortune
is not within the reach OF all, but every
wage Garner and bread winner may Sc
cure fortune in the shape of con-
tented mind and God fearing spirit.
There are many rich, but not in this

fond memories oil the heart with joy
when we recall the scenes of childhood
and the indelible impression made by
father aud mother in the dear old home.

He had confided in his partner partly
through friendship, but chiefly, as he
had confessed, because he had feared
that Lawrence would suspect, and it
was better he should be under n pledge.
The nature of that pledge, Lawrence
did not disclose, but Preble noticed that
he shuddered when the conversation
drifted near it.
The disclosure had been made at the
inc when the insurance agent had sup
'1sed it to have occurred. Mcneil had
1ointed out that his affairs had reached
ne brink of ruin; that he was utterly
vorn out: that he had neither the
,trength to begin the struggles anew
lor the heart to drag his wife down TO
he dull misery of squalor.
He loved the woman" said Law
'ance, "and by the eternal heavens,
he's worth it,"

oreble.

to see something happen. and

first thing l knew for certain, his eye
was on me, and he was saying some
thing about friendship. 1t was a toast.
/ raised the glass to my lips, but my
hand shook so that l choked myself

cry. l started up, and there was AL
bert lying beside his chair, with the
others round him. They said that he
fell dead in an instant, and that he
did not breathe after he touched the
floor"
"And that's all you know about it,"
said Preble.
That's all. Isn't it enough?'
IT'S hardly worth the money"
Preble glanced at the billet douX
from the bank which the other still
held in his hand. Lawrence swore a
round cath.
Have you got all this out of me-" he
demanded, land now you're going back
on your agreement"'
Not at all, but | shall want you to
strengthen that story on the witness

"What do you want me to say?"
Preble looked up at the ceiling for n
moment. Then he said:

The detective rose and kicked his

Good af-''
"Oh, very well Just as you say"

1t was done with great reluctance
on the part of Hcrsch, who took the
precaution to laboriously drum the
contract out on his typewriter and
sign 1t in "A disguised hand Preblc

lie took Mrs Monelrs address, and
then left the room.
John NJ. Lawrence, who was born in
80, and has grown over 40 years old
since that date, was sitting in his Of
flee reading. The subject of his perus-
al was n notification from his bank
that u note for nine hundred aud odd
dollars would fall due in the very near

Prebe when he had closed the door
behind him. I'VE are going to contest
Mrs. Monell's claim, and we want to
find out whether you'll go on the stand
and tell what you know"
Lawrence involuntarlly clutched the
notification. Neither the gesture nor
the nature of the document escaped
Prebles eye
"And If so,' Preble continued, "for

Lawrence was something of n busl-
ness man himself, but he had not
reached the stage OF development
when he could transact that kind of
business so quickly. Desiring time to
collect his thoughts. he said
you're an impudent rascal
Preble laughed.
"We're not children" he said. "We're
business men. Do you want to pay that
note, or do you want 1t to go to pro-
test?"
Lawrence nut the wrong end of a
fresh cigar into his mouth and tried
to light the other. Naturally there
was no draught.
He laughed nervlously. Then. check
ing himself suddenly he exclaimed:
"By the Lord Harry. like your way
of going at thing. You don't waste
much time, I'll swear. Show me your
credentials"
Preble folded his contract backward
and showed Lawrence Hersch's name
on the end of II. OF course that
amounted to the same thing. but Law
renee was not In a mood to be too par
ticular.
Then there was a fencing match, in
which point after point was scored by
Preble. Twenty minutes later he had
bought his man for $1,000, and had
learned all he had to tell
