with him. Not because his carriage
has run over an elderly woman and IL
was likely to prove a fatal accident,
not for that reason at all, but wholly
and solely because, when Charles and
the policeman had lifted the uncon-
scious m into the carriage, Lord
Aylmer had picked up a letter which
was lying face upward in the roadway
just where she had lain. Short-sight-
edness was not one of Lord Aylmer's
signs of approaching years, and in an
instant he had grasped that the letter
was addressed to his nephew Dick, and
before Charles and the policeman had
got their burden safely into the vic
toria. he had thrust the letter into his
pocket, with a sort of impious thanks
giving to Heaven that at last the girl
he had been hunting down for many
weeks was delivered into his hand.
For evidently this respectable elder
ly woman, dressed in decent black was
Mrs. Harris servant; and il it hap
pened that she did not keep more than
one-why this accident would put her
altogether at his mercy.
He was positively trembling when
they reached the st. Georges Hospital.
and Barbara was carried in, not un-
conscious now, for the slight jolting of
the carriage had brought her to again.
Then there was a short time of i'm
patient waiting before the doctor came
to them-that is, Lord Aylmer and the
young lady who had come with the
patient.

at rehearsal now-I must go off at
once. Couldn't you go?" she asked.

"Certainly--with pleasure. Shall /
b. ling her back to see the old lady?''
Lord Aylmer inquired, in a tone which
was a delightful mixture of gallantry
and fatherliness--a lone which had. by
the-bye. stood him in good stead many
a time and oft.
"Yes. it would quiet her down a
little dare say" the house surgeon
answered.
Very well, Make nae liable for any
expenses, you know" Lord Aylmer
said. as he moved toward the door.

her.

so serious as that"
1T is" Her lips could not utter
Dicks name, her agony was so great;
but her eye spoke volumes in place
of her tongue.
1t never occurred to Lord Aylmer
that she was thinking OF Dick. He
only thought how lovely she was in
her distress, and wondered how he
could best tell her the truth.

truth out at last, there has been an
accident, and your old servant"
"Barbara-is she hurt?" Dorothy
cried in dismay.
Il am sorry to say that she is hurt.
More sorry to be obliged to own that it
was my own carriage which did the
mischief. But won't you let me come
in and tell you all about it? 1t is such
a shame to keep YOU standing there"

"Oh, - kind of you, but | al

The cab rolled off, Lord Aylmer un-

his most fascinating smile, and bowed

out the letter and looked at it with a

face. HIM. Richard Harris, Esq,

Oh, so you have not cut the chains,

He opened the letter without the

The lovely face disappeared when the
carriage drew up at the door, and the
smart footman, in his glory of crimson
and white, jumped down and opened
the door for the handsome old gentle
man, who got out and went into the
building. He knocked at the door of

II was stated that the holders of sI2,-

bonds have notified the company that
they will at once convert their bonds into
Missouri Pacific stock. These bonds bear
interest at the rate OF ) per cent and were
the panic of 1888. The conversion IF the
bonds into stock wo1ld reduce the fixed
charges Of the company $f95GtJ Il year.
The convertible bonds are held almost
exclusively by the Gould estate and John
D. Rockefeller. The announcement Of the
intention to convert the bonds was taken
in Wall Street yesterday TO foreshadow
an early dividend on Missouri Pacific
stock and at the same time TO reflect a
desire on the part Of the Gould and Rock
efeiIer interests to increase their voting
