CHAPTER II.-CoNTINUEp.
BY Mill n Harlem


N4<A1 11-SON1lNO ED.
The major was deathly pale and his
hands quivered as with palsy. For
moment he could only stare into the
sympathetic eyes of his ward. who
like shapely pillar of consolation
stood before him.
blanche, do you think-think she
has gomez" he asked.
II can't say, dear, dear guardian. I
hope not. Don't give up"
He seemed to have a sudden inspira-
ton.
"Come into my study" he said.
She followed and stood in the dark
as he fumbled with the electric light
fixture. In a moment the little room
was Illuminated. He pointed to big
iron safe in the corner, and said,
huskily:
"She could not go without means.
She saw me put $4,000, away yester-
day. She has always known the COM
bination."
'Oh, she wouldn't dare to take your
money!" exclaimed Blanche.
"She knew I had a deposit in the
bank" he said; besides, what is mine
is hers. She knows that"
With trembling fingers he turned
the combination bolt. In a moment
the heavy door was opened. He drew
out strong box from one of the COM
partments in the safe and raised the
lid.
The money was gone.
"That settles it'll" Goddard said
thse with NOVA khor p1onoho
had expected, but it was the calmness
of utter despair. He closed the box
almost with scrupulous exactness,
then shut and locked the door OF the
safe. He went back into the library
and stood before the fire. his limp
hands clasped in front of him.
"Tell me what to do, Blanche" he
said, plaintively. 81 can't give her up.
I simply cannot! have been under
bursting shells and whistling lead as
thick as hail and not cared so much as
that" Che snapped his fingers). "but
I can't face life without her."
A door opened cautiously. Wilkins
put in his bald head, fringed with
gray locks.
"Shall I serve dinner?" he asked.
eyes, but shall not watt" said his
master. II am going back to the
city"
Just then there was ring at the
door. Goddard drew himself up and
listened, light of sudden expecta-
ton in his eyes.
''Sign here" boyish voice said to
the footman who had opened the door.
"a telegram!" cried the major. and
he went to the door and brought it
back, tearing it open excitedly.
detained in town." he read, tri-
umphantly. Perhaps you ought to
come to the Palace hotel to see me.
Will return in the morning. Jeanne"
ssThank God!" he exclaimed, joy
ously; then his eyes snatched a
thought from the depths of his wards
great staring orbs which made him
glance towards his study, and she
saw the joyous light in his face flick
: er az If strong breeze of suspicion
had blown upon it. "Ah," he sighed.
ssbut she intended to go. Blanche; she
intended to leave mel"
He dropped his hand heavily on the
old-fashioned silver BEN on tho *abls.

The clerk gave him blank card and

The majors hands were cold and
numb. and the pen slipped from his
fingers and fell. The clerk gave it to
him again.
81 shall 60 up without that formal

up as if on parade. What is the num-
Der of her apartment"
"Fifty-six, at the top of the first

| The major decided to walk rather
than to take the elevator, and he has
tened to the stairway indicated by the
clerk. He found that his wife had Sc
cured one of the best suites of rooms
the hotel afforded. She met him at
the door and received him in a most
spiendidly appointed private parlor.
It was cozy, too; lamp with porce-
lain green-lined shade stood on a CEN

late papers and magazines not far
from cheerful CRATE fire.
"Come in, Rowland, and don't scold
me-" she said, throwing her shapely
arms round his neck. 81 know you
must have been frightened when you
missed me-"
He found himself all of tremble,
and his voice refused to come to him
readily. He could only press her to
him convulsively as he moved towards
the sofa and drew her down by his
side. Despite her warmth of greet
ing he was unable to conquer the
fears which had laid such firm hold
on him during his lonely ride.
''Why did you do this. Jeanne?" he
managed to say. presently.
Don't scold me-" she repeated, but
there was q certain reserve in her
tone which made him feel that her
words had only perfunctory signifi-
canoe. Something seemed to whisper
that he was on the eve of battle, but
the war spirit was dead within him;
he had the feeling of being con-
quered.
"Why did you have me meet you
here?" he demanded.
"To prove your love for me, Row.
land" she replied, and the smile which
accompanied her words was the cold
est he had ever seen on her face, and
JCC IL OuO 4OI us ISuIOlC 10
former smiles of hers he adored it.
"Younever doubted my love, Jeanne;
that is a certainty"
"Then I have had you come that we
may agree on a plan of action" she
said. She nestled nearer to him and
took one of his cold hands and
pressed it.
II missed the money. too. Jeanne?"
"Oh, did you? Well, may as we'll
confess that this meeting is an after
thought, and I do think, if you care
for me, that you ought to appreciate
that"
"You intended, then, to desert me?"
''Yes, that was the intention forced
on me-"
'Forced on you?"
'Yes, cannot go on at Lyndhurst
as it is. You knew when I became
your wife that I could not remain
stationary-not progress. When I
married you it was clearly understood

that I was to be able to crafty GER

Well, your recent speculations have

desperately.

Jeanne, you know I would do ezy-

know I have violated part of sur

She stroked his hand caressingly
and raised it to her warm, red lips.

in London during the week to full parity
with May Ga'es on ali mtrino woods has, of
course, materially Cheered the market.
There seems to he considerable delay in

are complaining of the sic wness of the rail-
roads Comparatively little of the new
American clip is now here in Boston, and
much rger husiuess could have been done
II dealers had had anything but advance
samples TO show. Buyers like to look at
the wool itself In the west business is in
creAsing steadily in activity. Montana, as
usual, has the benefit of the rise, and her
growers seem likely 70 get extreme rates.
The interest OF manufacturers in the mark
81 is shown this week by the unusually
large number OF acres of wool in the origi.

the least. The market for spring patents at
the close is higher than last week, sales
ranging at about 1886 to 400 as business
averages. Some special brands are held
even igher, but this will cover sales made.
Good tiours are quoted at about SO 80, The
market for winter wheat is also higher, but
the advance has been less marked than for
springs. Winter patents are quotable at
about IS 70 to 3.95 as full range with sales

tiers about SO 80 TO 8 60 will cover most Of
the sales made although strictly straights
might go higher.
