Kilgrow was hardly out OF the room
when Protheroe tapped at the door and
entered without waiting to be asked.
Il beg your pardon IL | intrude." he
said, bluntly. but I've got 4 have n
word with you before you GO down.
suppose you'll think I'm a cursed cad.
after all. but | can't help it IL you do.
I've asked Elsie TO marry me. and she
says she will"
He thought he had prepared himself
for anything that T~horndyke could pos
sibly say or do. but the forcarmiug
had peer alt~ogether'on the side of resis-
lance. and Philips enthusiastic out
burst of hilarious approval left him
quite helpless.
by Jove, old man. that was the only
thing that was needed to make this the
hnppiest day of my life!"-Thorn-
dyke was wringing his hand till il
ached. God bless you-God bless you
bo:hi And you're n lucky dog. too: the
old mans just authorized me to put the
whole $4,000 in her name" He jerked
out his watch. breaking the chain in
his haste. Great Caesarl it's half-past
three. and that train goes at 1915! Pro
theroe. If you love mi help me catch it;
Tve got to start for New York to-day IL
/ have to waikiki"
II was a hurried farewell at the farm
house and a sharp gallop to town, with
n breathless scramble for scattered be-
iongings at the hotel; but Philip
caught the train, and there was still
time for him to scribble a telegram
which he thrust out of the car window
TO Protheroe as the wheels began to
turn. 1t was to Helen, and it read:
please disregard my letter, and for
give me if you can. ] am on my way
home"

and then take the road up the Little
Chiwassee"-this last to the old negro.
Opposite the Office building of the
defunct town company they stopped
again. When the crash came there
were many sufferers. and evidences
of rascality IN the part of the COM
pany's agents were not lacking. There
had been n mob and a riot, and the COM
pany's offices had suffered first and
most. The four-storied building of brick
nnd stucco had been first Quilted and
then bombarded with such missiles as
impotent rage could find. 1t stood grim
and gaunt. with battered walls and un-
glazed openings; a monument more pit
lful than its fellows, and yet less
worthy. since its owners gained where
all Others lost.
Helen shivered and drew her wrap
closer, as If the d~esolation made her
cold. Lets go on" she said. "It's
too dreadful; it's like being in a GENE
terry with the graves all opened and the
lead people staring at you out of their
broken coffins!"
80 fleet the works of men
Back TO the earth again."
quoted Philip, giving the order to the
driver.
When they had passed the dismantled
Jobannisbcrg. with its once beautiful
lawn grown up into a weedy desert,
Philip pointed to a last summers corn
field across the Little Chiwassee.
That was Observation-Disclosures in
my day" he said. Lots sold over there
for $3.50 "A front foot"
The old negro pulled his horse into
an unwilling trot. and the carriage
rolled around the shoulder of Johns
mountain in a cloud of yellow dust;
the ruined street suddenly became a
quiet country road, and the dead city
lay behind them. An hour later they
had climbed the spur bounding the
~Scotchman's farm. and Philip pointed
out a comfortable stone farmhouse
Nesting against the sloping bosom of
the mountain.
That's D~uncan's." he said. as they
ratified down to the gate; and there's
Elsie-Mrs. Robert protheroe. | should
say-standing in the door with my god
son in her arms"
They were expected. though not until
later in the day. and Mrs. Duncan and
Elsie were presently in a hustle OF kind
ly hospitality that carried Philip swift
ly back to the days OF his exile.
