he tenders IT, en- very sorry all this
has happened, more sorry than can
tell you. hope you will not think that
/ am TO blame In the matter"
mo. you are not in the slightest 70
blame. There Is nobody TO blame ex-
cept myself. 1 feel that have been
culpably negligent and altogether too
| trustful."
81 wish to goodness / knew where
you could get the money, but, of course,
IL knew that would have had il my
self long ago"
II am very much obliged TO you"
said Kenyon. "but the only thing you
can do for me is TO see that your clock
Is not ahead Of time tomorrow. Imay
perhaps be up at the Office before IL
o'clock-that In where / shall find you,
1 suppose?"
"Yes. 1 shall be there oil the forenoon.
I shall not leave until r."
Every good; / am much obliged to
you, Mr.. Won Brent. for your sympa-
thy. assure you haven't many
friends, and it-well, I'm obliged to
you, that's all. An Englishman, you

ter of thanks. but mean it."
'I'm sure you do" said Won Brent
''and I'm only sorry that my assistance
cannot be something substantial. Well,
good-by, hoping to see you tomorrow"
After he had departed, Kenyon's i'm
patience increased as the hours went
on. He left the hotel and went direct

come for him.
I'm afraid" said the operator, shat
there won't be anything more tonight.
III il should come late, shall / send IL
to your hotel?"
Certainly, no matter at what hour it
comes; wish you would let me have
1t as soon as possible. 1t is very i'm
portant."
Leaving the Office, he went up the
street, and, passing the principal hotel
In the place, saw young Longworth, as
dapper and correct in costume as ever,
his single eyeglass the admiration of
all Ottawa, for there was not another
like IL in the city, standing under the
portico Of the hotel.
How do you do, Kenyon" said that
young man.
"My dear sir" said Kenyon, "the last
time you spoke 70 me you said you de-
sired to have nothing more to say to
me. / cordially reciprocated that
sentiment, and 1 want to have nothing
TO say to you"
"My dear fellow" cried young Mr..
Longworth jauntily, there Is no harm
done. OF course, in New York was
a little out of sorts. Everybody is in
New York-beastly hole. Idon't think
1t is worse than Ottawa, but the air is
purer here. By the way, perhaps you
and can make little arrangement. /
am going TO buy that mine tomorrow.
as doubtless you know. Now should
like to see il in the hands Of good and
competent man. II couple OF hum
dred pounds year would be any temp
tation to you, / think we can afford TO
let you develop the mine"
THANK YOU" said Kenyon.
II knew you would be grateful; just
think over the matter, will you, and
don't come to any rash decision. We
can probably give a little more than
that, but until we see how the mine Is
turning out, 1t is not likely we shall
spend a great deal of money ON H."
"of course" said John, 'the proper
answer to your remark would be TO
knock you down, but, besides being n
law-abiding citizen, have no desire to-
get into Jail tonight for doing IL, be-
cause there is one chance in a thou
sand, Mr.. Longworth, that may have
some business to do with that mine
myself before IL o'clock tomorrow"
"Ah. IL is my turn to be grateful now"
said Mr. Lopgworth. SIN rough-and-
tumble fight / am afraid you would
master me easier than you would do in
n contest of diplomacy"
do you call IL diplomacy? You re-
fer, l suppose, to your action in rela-
ton to the mine. call IL robbery"
ooh, do you? WE'LL that is the kind
OF conversation which leads to breaches
OF the peace, and as /, also, am law
abiding citizen, will not continue the
discussion any further. / bid you n
very good evening, Mr.. Kenyon" Say
ing which the young man turned into
the hotel. John walked TO his own
much more modest inn and retired for
the night. He did not sleep well. All
night long phantom telegraph messen-
gers we're rapping at the door, and he
started up every now and then 10 re-
ceive cablegrams which faded away as
he awole. Shortly after breakfast he
went 70 the telegraph Office, but found
that nothing had arrived for him.
81 am afraid" said the operator.
that nothing will arrive before noon"
Before noonl" echoed John. "Why2"
"The wires are down In some places
in the east, and messages are delayed
good deal. Perhaps you noticed the
lack OF eastern news in the morning
papers. Very little news came from
the east last night" Seeing Johns
look % anxious interest, the operator
continued: "Does the dispatch you
