CHAPTER TX.

After supper l Lit cigar and walked
up and down in front of the house.
During the meal Mrs. Snyder had kept
up an incessant chatter concerning the
mysteries about my house. l did not
hear half her words, but nevertheless
there was an element SO foreign to my
thoughts in the few sentences l caught
that was glad to escape her.
The evening shadows were settling
over the valley, and the moon was ris-
ing in splendor.
Leisurely l tramped to and fro, Civ
ing up my thoughts undisturbed to the
pleasant realization of new-found hap
piness and to anticipations of future
Joy in the constant companionship of
my sweetheart.
The cigar finished, I repaired to my
room, with the intention of reading
But the evening was SO fine that l soon
blew out the light and sat down by the
window.
Then remembered how, on rising
from the same chair the evening be-
fore, tall, white specter had confront
ed me. This recollection coming to
me suddenly in the midst of happy
thoughts caused me to glance some
what nervously toward the closed win
dow opposite.
l could see faint image of myself
swaying to and fro in unison with the
motion of the rocking-chair in which
l was seated.

prise. you know Jackson, then?"
eyes; merely speaking acquain-
tance, though. He comes here quite
frequently"
''How can he get away from the
bank?' asked.
He is not employed there now.
Jackson has become quite wealthy, at
least so he himself says He has made
some big strikes specializing in coal
lands. He said he could not afford to
devote his time to the bank for paltry
salary when his interests outside had
grown so important So he left about
five or six months ago"
'Then he did finally fulfill his threat
of leaving" l remarked. He was al
ways talking about leaving" l con-
tinued, in explanation. LAS he still
held on to his position notwithstand-
ing, it got to be a standing joke in the
office about Jackson quitting the job"
"Ah, indeed? He seemed, then, to
desire that every one of his associates
might expect his leaving at any time?"
remarked the lawyer, with a signifi-
cancel could not then account for.
Il suppose so, or he would not have
'eiterated his intention so frequently.
And he's become rich? No wonder.
He told me once he was interested with
Mr.. Morley in a few business ventures.
Well, he's lucky. You'll fbe over, then,
tomorrow"
"Yes. Good-day."

a terrible quarrel that day, and he has
not been here since then"
What reason did he give for now be-
lieving l was the guilty party?" l
! asked.
ooh, he mumbled something about
discoveries recently made which would
throw new light on the case"
Florence gazed earnestly into my
face, and she must have noticed the
troubled expression upon it, For she
leaned toward me and with great earn
estncss exclaimed: "Nelson, oh, tell
me, you had nothing to do with it, did
you?"
"Florence!"
Forgive me; ] know you are hon
est and true She laid her hand upon
mine. Il will not wrong you by the
! least doubt. But jackson seemed so
confident There is no way by which
seeming proof of the robbery could
be shown against you, is there?'
"Good heavens, how could there be?'
I exclaimed. "Oh, I see it all, went
on bitterly. jackson has become
wealthy, and is trying to ingratiate
himself with your father and under
mine my reputation with you and so
finally gain your hand.''
Florence listened to my incoherent
outburst with an amused smile.

The smile died from her face and her
eyes flashed with an angry fire.

me happy, and laughed merrily.

father lately. Ever since that quarrel

TN what respect?" 1 asked, sympa-
thetically.
HE seems terribly worried and
anxious"
1t is probably business care. There
are very few men directing great en-
terprises who have not times of worry
and anxiety, who have not financial
storms and the fear of wreck to face"
I added, consolingly. "And as for the
quarrel with Jackson, that was prob
ably no more than difference of opin-
ion regarding business methods. jack

tions with your father, and that is what
makes me almost fearful that he will

Brothers Banning Is Willing to Serve

Chicago is just now in the prelimi-

successor to Mayor Swift is to be elected,
and there is no lack of mayoralty tim
Der. Every man in Chicago who has
ever before been mentioned for anything
is now mentioned for mayor, but per-
haps the most interesting aspirants,
from an outside standpoint, are the
brothers Banning. There are two of
them, Thomas and Ephraim. They are
not twins and do not resemble each
other IN appearance, but they are SO
much alike in other details, business
habits, mental characteristics and opin-
ions, that Chicago people look upon
them as a modern edition of Dickens

The brothers Banning are lawyers
and make a specially of patent cases.
They are partners and occupy the same
offices. The brothers reach their place
of business at the same time every
morning and always greet each other
with exactly the same exchange of
brotherly greetings
''Ah, good morning. Ephrairn," says
Thomas heartily. II hope you are feel

Ephraim. 81 am feeling first rate. And

Excellent, Ephraim, excellent, - is
the CHEEKY response. In the meantime
they are shaking hands with the cor
diality of old friends who have been
separated for dozen years instead of
as many hours. Then follows inquiries
concerning the families of each. After
this exhibition of fraternal regard and
affection the brothers take up the bust
ness of the day, lunching together at
noon and chatting about the topics of

This routine the brothers have kept

smoothly along ever since. the admira-
ton of each for other increasing as the
years go by.
How two such men should happen to
become rivals in politics may seem
strange. It is merely G. matter of chance.
Ephraim happens to live in the Thir-
tenth ward and Thomas in the Thirty
fourth. Each is a Republican, and each
has been prominent in local politics for
many years. Ephraim was one of the
Mckinley electors, and some of his
friends in the Thirteenth suggested that
he would be a good man for mayor. In
dependently of this action some of
Thomas friends started little mayor
atty boom for him. The brothers com
pared notes and agreed to make it an
aInicable contest.
They do not intend to let the bitter
ness of political struggle interrupt for
a moment the pleasant relations which
have existed between them for so many
years. In all their lives they have hard
ly had a thought that was not unani-
nous. The farthest they ever got apart
was in religion, but even this was a
matter of circumstance. Thomas is an
elder in a Presbyterian church, and
Ephraim is a deacon in Congrega-
tional sanctuary. Their ideas as to the
government of Chicago are identical.
They believe in the same reforms and
have agreed on all the details connected
with running an ungodly city in a
Christlike way.

his glasses.
''It ought to be understood by the
people that we are not both expecting to
be elected. Either one of Us is willing.

Exactly remarked Thomas.

as if he had not juggled the personal
pronouns with the skill of a college pro-
fessOr.
