in that line. But prefer quiet life. ;"
Sonntag followed me out to the bug

occurred to me, and delayed my de-
parture to voice it.
do you know Mr.. Morley?" asked.
mo, do not, !" was Sonntag's answer.
"Then where did you get your in
formation about that gentleman's de-
tense of me?"
'Oh, such news gets out sometimes.
Still, I don't mind telling you. 1t was
from Horace Jackson received the in
formation"
"From Jackson!" exclaimed, in sur
prise. "You know Jackson, them"
Eyes; merely speaking acquain-
lance, 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" I remarked. HE was al
ways talking about leaving" 1 con-
tinued, in explanation. LAS he still
held on to his position notwithstand-
ing, it got to be 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-
canoe could not then account for.

reiterated his intention so frequently.
And he's become rich? No wonder.

Some of IllinOis' Great Thfugs,

Illinois can boast of many "big"
things. Until the federal government
began the policy of building it's own
prisons the Illinois penitentiary at
Joliet was the largest penitentiary in
the United States, and the second largest
penal institution in the world. This
was because the federal government
quartered most of its prisoners there.
To-day Illinois has two state prisons,
one at Joliet and one at Chester. The
notorious Frank Rand ended his DAYS at
Chester.
The biggest distillery in the world is
at Peoria.
The biggest river in the United States
flowing its entire length in one state is
the Illinois river.
The biggest packing houses in the
world are in Illinois, though Omaha is
crowding the suckers for first place.
And the biggest joint-debate upon DO
itical questions that ever stirred the
people of any nation and settled the
fate of nation was fought out in Illi-
nois between Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas.-Omaha World.

At an assize court the late Justice
Maule was engaged in passing SEN
tence on a prisoner. when one Of the
officers of the court annoyed him by
crossing the gangway beneath him
with papers for members of the bar.

"that you ought never to pass between
two gentlemen when one of them is
addressing the other?" Having thus
relieved his mind, the judge proceeded
to pass sentence of seven years penal
servitude on the other gentleman

CHAPTER VIII.


When I again passed the depot at
Sidington on my way home, there was
lady on horseback talking to the
| agent.
It needed no second glance to tell me
it was Florence Morley. Her face was
turned toward the fellow, and so she
did not see me. drove along slowly,
keeping my eyes upon her, and debat-
ing in my mind whether I should stop
| and address her or not.
1t was strong temptation, and only
fear held me back, cowardly fear too.
1 doubted how my overtures might be
received. I had chosen my course of
my own accord and would follow it.
If it was contrary to her wish she
would find way to tell me.
After passing the station [ allowed
my horse to continue at walk, so that
Florence must catch up with me if she
intended to ride to her home from Sid
ington.
The resolve to stick to my promise
was growing weaker since Sarah's COM
ment upon it. A word from Florence, /
knew, would cause me to break it, and
1 really was impatient for that word.
Soon the sound of approaching hoofs
beating the hard road reached me.
Nearer it came and nearer. until finally
I caught glimpse, out of the corner
of my eye, of swaying petticoat.
She pulled in her horse to walk,
| and then turned my head and glanced
at her. My heart was in my throat
when looked, but the smile that greet
ed me dispelled my fears like mist be-
fore the morning sun.
But the smile was not all that told
me of her emotion at again meeting me.
The deep brown eyes were suffused
with tears. With my own heart leaping
for joy, reineo my horse to stand
still. In an instant was at her side.
She extended her hand, and with my
assistance sprang lightly to the ground.
| took her horses bride over my arm
! and, with the disengaged hand, helped
her climb into the buggy.
''Tie the horse to the back axle, then
come here beside me-" were the first
words she said. lost no time in obey
ing.
Imagine, if you please, the over
whelming joy to be seated once more

her keeping.
could not trust myself to speak, and
it was she who began.

more, Mr.. Conway? Because if you are
not, I certainly will not tell you how
happy I am in again meeting an old

The soft, sweet tones of her voice,
which I loved SO to hear. had now a
tremble to them. I glanced at her, and
well, Florence was still my true heart,
as she had been throughout, notwith-
standing my doubt and fear.
"The past year has been an eternity
to me-" finally said.
"And who is to blame for that, Won
der? And, too, when was the mystery
cleared up, since you are now speaking
to me?" she said, with joyous laugh,
which told me as plainly as words
could how she had missed me.

led that gentleman to defend you. Now.
believe me, Mr.. Conway, do not ask
for curiosity; there is grave purpose
in the question am about to ask you,"
he went on, as the smile died from his
face and what seemed to me to be deep
concern appeared instead. "The ques-
ton is this: Are you an especial friend
of Miss Morley's? Are you engaged to
marry herr"
"No. But, had the suspicion of the
robbery not fallen upon me, probably
would have asked her to be my wife
long before now" replied, rather won
dering at myself for telling this to the
old fellow on so short an acquaintance.
"Ah, she loves you, them"
THAT cannot say. I believe she did
think very highly of me at one time;
but I promised not to hold any COM
munication with her until my inno-
cence was known. It is a year since
then. Whether her feeling for me has
changed or not do not know

changing the subject rather abruptly.
What do you propose to do? How go

replied. II suppose that will be the
only way. What else can do?"
''Do you think the bank officials have
done nothing? Do you think you could
find any shrewder detectives than have
undoubtedly been working on the case ?
If the bank with all its tremendous re-
sources has not succeeded in running
the robbers down, how can you expect
to succeed when your limited means
would make your search merely a
superficial ope?"
Carry this load to the grave? Why, Mr..
Sonntag, this suspicion of me, you can
not imagine what a horrible thing it is,
how it darkens my life!" I exclaimed,
in bitterness of spirit, as realized how
hopeless my case seemed.
"You have been patient so long under
your trouble, little more endurance
will not hurt you," Sonntag said, in
answer to my despairing words
you'll come out of it all with fly
ing colors some day. Now it may not
look so to you, but to me it appears
that you have done great deal your.

doubt are still in progress"

sharp glance toward me and answered:

cheek.
81 certainly shall not go on if am in
terrupted," Florence said, in gentle re-
mCnstrance.
''What did your father say in an
swer?" I finally asked.
''He said he thought perhaps it was
unjust to both of us to insist on your
keeping the promise"
'Did he say that? exclaimed. ''Then
Florence" but really it is enough to say
that the dear girl promised to be my
wife. even though the suspicion should
not be removed from me, providing Mr..
Morley's consent could be gained; and
she moreover promised to do all she
could to help me gain his consent.

who were standing there. That was

1T was and am very sorry. Indeed.
I have been a fool right through the
whole affair. 1 see it now. I had no
right to make such a promise"
"Wen, L do not think you were a
fool. But, forgive me, that promise was
a foolish one, and-and just trifle un-
kind" The tears again started in her
eyes, and her voice took on the tremble
which went SO appealingly to my heart.
Never again will be so foolish!"
exclaimed. 81 will see your father and
tell him have broken my promise, that
it was impossible to keep it, and that it
is simply absurd to subject us to the
misery of longer separation. May
tell him that? May speak for both of
us?"
She hung her head, while the red
flush spread over her face. Then she
murmured: Eyes, speak for both of
us. Why not, since it is true? Perhaps
you'll find father has changed his views
a trife.''
"Not in his opinion of my innocence,
I hope,'' I said. 81 have been told he
strongly objected to my arrest. And
I know whose influence caused him to
do SOL
Not mine, really" Florence earnest
ly replied. Father believed you were
innocent, and took the stand he did
for that reason. I did not know about
the robbery until after the first meet
ing of the trustees. It was at that
meeting that he opposed your arrest.
remember he felt quite triumphant
afterward, for most of the trustees in
sisted upon your immediate arrest, and
it was only after father said that he
would never consent to it that they gave
up the point
''Now that is pleasant to hear" l
cried, joyfully. What reason have you
to think he has changed his views re-
garding the promise?"
''This morning, after we had passed
you, I said: That looked like Nelson
Conway Father laughed at me, and
answered that it must have been an
hallucination produced by constantly
keeping my thoughts upon you"
It is impossible to describe the fasci-
nation of Florence's manner when she
told me this-how maidenly bashful-
ness blended with loves boldness, how
the bushes dyed her smooth cheek,
while her eyes shone with confident,
happy light.
"Then at lunch this noon father
asked me if II liked you as much as
ever. Liked was not the word he
used, but never mind, we'll use it now"
And what did you answer? asked,
eagerly and expectantly.
''That not a day went by that did
not think of you. And oh. Nelson" she
continued, her voice deep and full in it's
earnestness, that was not half the
truth. Why should hesitate to con-
TESS it to you, my dear friend?"
