Mr.. Sutherland was busily engaged
with a law paper when his son enter
ed his presence, but at sight of that
sons face he dropped the paper with
an alacrity which Frederick was too
much engaged with his own thoughts
to notice.

The old gentleman looked startled
and nervously fingered the paper he
had let fall. "Why do YOU say you

What do you mean by that?"
The flush which had not yet subsid-
ed from the young mans face ebbed
slowly away as he encountered his ia
TIERS eye.
II mean to work." he murmured.
II mean to make a man of myself as
soon as possible"
The look which Mr., Sutherland gave
him was more inquiring than sympa-
thetic.
"And you need this money for q
start" said he.
Frederick bowed. He seemed to be
losing the faculty of speech. The
clock over the mantel had told of five
