The attorney seemed to be enjoying
the discontinue of the manager. The
incident threw a sidelight on Fench's
character that was instructive;- at eN-
posed the shoddy warp that was usually
hidden under the wool of impudence.
Sharpless knew then that if there were
any fighting to be done he would have
to dol himself, and there was a con-
temptuous emphasis in his reply:
THAT'S as you like. He'll fight for
what he gets, can tell you that; only
I wish we had that deed"
Fench swore quavering oath, which
was, nevertheless, broad enough to
cover the whole transaction and every
one connected with it. 81 don't see how
that could make any difference. tell

there are some people who might be
mean enough to hint that we made our
title out Of whole cloth. However,
that's all beside the mark. This old
fellow must be at least 65 or 70; he's
an outlaw, and he's only one ignorant
man against the whole syndicate. If

A CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE.

The train on the Chiwassee Valley ex-
tension lurched uneasily round the
curves in the new track of the branch
Lire, leaving trail of sooty smoke
hanging in the foliage on the mountain
side and stippling the pools in the river
with showers of cinders from the en-
CINE where the railway embankment
skirted the stream. The afternoon sun
had dropped behind the summit o.
Johns mountain, but his oblique rays
still poured into the valley through oc-
casional gaps in the ridge, projecting
grotesquely heightened shadows of tbs
moving train half way across to the
western slope of Jubal mountain. A
cool breeze, fragrant with the breath OF
wild honeysuckle and spicy with the
resinous smell of old-feld pines, blew il
at the open windows of the car; ane

half-closed eyes, tried once more to Sc !.
Ill their proper order the events of the
last few days in New York. There was
no particular reason why they should
be assorted and labeled, save one; the
memory of them seemed to be slipping
away from him. There were times
when he could not be sure that he had
signed his will; when he could not re-
member what he had said to his mother
at parting. And as for that pathetic
little scene in the dimly-lightcd draw
ing-room at the Morrissons', it might
have happened ten years before. H
asked himself if it were possible that it
was only two days since he had choked
in trying to say good-by to Helen. It
was beyond belief; 1.-THE miles of distance
had somehow become TRANSMITTED into
years OF time, and the memory of that
evening, only two evenings ago, was al.
ready beginning to fade. Was it only
because the change of scene and of en-
compassment pushed the things of yes
tcrday aside to make room for newer
impressions, or did the reason lie in the
grim fact of irrevocability? Thorn
dyke pursued these reflections so ia,
into the field of distractions that ths

he got an answer.

Perhaps; but that isn't what l

the time when he begins to learn the
meaning of well-doing, he is only fill
ing the measure of his reason for be-

such thing as atonement for years of

The old lawyer put down his book to
applaud the sentiment. Better yet!

Meanwhile Helen had been making
mute little tentative movements to-
ward the door of the adjoining draw

ignore them, she left the group and
went to the piano in the other room.

Personality Of the Coming Mistress Of the

The personality of the wife of the
