A FATHER SUES HIS SON.

A case that excited much comment
here yesterday was that Of Eugene G..
Harrell against his son, John N. Harrell,
tried yesterday morning before Justice
Maroon. 1t seem that in settling an ac-
count with a customer Col. Harrell took
a note for $48. This, he says, he gave
to his son to collect; that he kept the
money collected, and which the suit is
brought to recover. The defendant
claims that the note was given him in
payment of certain moneys he had loaned
his father. The magistrate reserved his
decision.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.

Again it was the last train to VIM
bledon; but Sartwell, tired as he was,
strobe home from the station with the
Springy step of a young man. Edna,
waiting for her father in spite of his
prohibition, heard the step with a
thrill of hope. When he came in there
was a smile on his face such as she
had not seen for weeks.
''Ah, my girl" he cried, you can
never guess what has happened"
Yes, 1 can" she answered; "Marsten
has ended the strike

John Gilpin, l won't be there to see"
And what does Mr.. Marsten say to
this sudden changer"
Il didn't see him. 1 suppose he has
gone to his room to mediate on the
mutability of the workingman.'
Il am glad you didn't send that let

'Ah, but the funny thing about it is
that I did send it. My commissionaire

scolding you, and thus you will destroy
my well-won reputation for being the
mildest man in London
The girl smiled through her tears,
and nothing more was said until they
reached the hospital door
How is Marsten, who was brought
here last night?" inquired Sartwen of
the doctor who received him.
"Oh, getting on very well, under the
circumstances"
The papers say his condition is
dangerous.
Il don't anticipate any danger. I'M
less there are internal injuries that we
know nothing of. Some of his ribs are
broken, and he got nasty blow on the
back of his head. He seems rather
weak and diSpirited this morning but
his mind is clear. 1 was somewhat
anxious about that, for he was a
long time unconscious"
There" said Sartwell to his daugh-
ter, who stood with parted lips listen
ing 1ntently to what the doctor said.
Il told you the papers made the case
out worse than it was. Might We see
Mr.. Marsten?"
Yes. but 1 wouldn't make him talk
very much, if 1 were you"
I'VE shall be very careful. I think,
you know, it will cheer him up to see
rather We came another time. My name
is Sartwell."
Word was brought back that Marsten
would be glad to see them. They founds
him in an alcove, curtained off, like
other alcoves, from the rest of the
ward. His face was not disfigured. but
was very pale. He cast one rapid
glance at the girl, shrinking back be-
hind her father, then kept his gaze
fixed on his old EMPLOYER
well, my boy" said Sartwell, cheer
lily, I'm sorry to see you on your back,
but I'm glad to learn from the doctor
that you will be ali right in a few
days"
Have the men-have they-gone

Sartwell put his hand under the pill
low and pulled forth the tattered docu-
ment.
You intend me to have this?''
Marsten. with faint motion of his
head signified his assent, and Sart-
well, with some relief, placed it in his
pocket.
Now, my lad, you must hurry up
and get WE'LL There will be stirring
times at the works and / shall need

The young mans eyelids quivered for
a moment, then closed over his eyes.
Two tears stole out from the corners
and rolled down his cheeks. His throat
rose and fell.
I'm a bit shattered" he whispered
at last. I'm not quite rnyself-but,
thank you"
That's all right. my boy. Here's a
young person who can talk to you
more like a, nurse than 1 can. 7 must

Edna took his hand when her father
had left the room. Marsten looked up
at her, standing there beside him.

didn't it?'' he said. with a faint, waver-
ing smile
For answer she bent over him and
kissed him softly on the lips.

heavy for comfort. A Spring Over
coat or Covert Cloth Box-Coat will
solve the difficulty. Meantime you
should be thinking of Spring Suit,
and it ought to be a matter of some
consequence to find what is not only
stylish in cut, but durable. Light
weight garments, to wear well, must
be properly shaped, and the stays
and interlinings must be correctly
fitted and sewed. It is these things
that you can't see and don't always
know about that make a great part
of the difference between good and
bad clothes. You'll find all these
little important things in our $3.50,
