"what can I do? Is there any
tbing?"
"There is but one thing right now"
answered Father Surtees. you
ought to GO at once to see this DR..
Fleming. I see by the papers that he
arrived yesterday, and is at the Sher-
man house"
There was a startled stare in the
eyes of the major as he rose.
"Come with me-" he said, huskily;
~come with me-"
"I should like to. 1 am very impa-
tient, Rowland. to know the truth on
that point. Much depends on 1t; very
much"
In moment the priest had put on
his overcoat and hat, and the two men
were walking down the avenue to-
wards the hotel just mentioned.
~ shall wait down nere for you"
said the priest, when they had entered
The Office of the hotel and been told
that DR.. Fleming was in. Goddard
sent up his card, and in a few mo-
ments he received permission to go
up.
'Ah, Maj. Goddard" cried DR.. Flem-
ing, tall, heavy-set, full-bearded
man, as he came to meet his visitor.
II was half expecting to meet your
wife to-day, but this is an unexpected
surprise. | hope she is notindisposed."
"I think she is no worse said the
major, helplessly, as he drew off his
gloves "ln fact, she did not know l
was coming"
"But you are not going to fancy
yourself i'll, Maj Goddard" said the
physician, lightly. you are nervous;
that's all. | detected that fact when
i took your hand; but otherwise you
are as sound as q block of nne steel"
at is about Blanche, who is now
mywife, that l called" said the major.
"You-you knew, presume, that my
first wife"
DIR. Fleming saw that Goddard was
unable to finish his remark.
"And l was awfully shocked to hear
of the accident, assure you: and
was glad to hear of your recent mar
riage. Your ward was one of my
most interesting patients. You will
pardon an old man like me, who is old
enough to be her father, when l take
the liberty of saying she is one of the
finest characters l ever met. You
know it is almost an instinct with my
profession to be able to read human
nature WELL Maj. GODDARD, you are tc
be envied."
81 am sorry" said the major, "tha'
you did not speak to me of her physi
cal condition when she began TO take
your treatment; but, of course, yor
knew best as to the advisability Of
taking me into your confidence.

ever had-which I lost five years
ago"
There was no ceremony in Goddard's
leavetaking. He left the physician
staring at him i'm wonder as he headed
for the stairs leading down into the
office.
Father Surtees emerge" from
throng of men near the newspaper
racks and came forward in the glare
of electric lights.
"Weil?' he inquired, eagerly.
"You were right" said Goddard.
"Thank Godl" calculated the priest,
fervently, and they made their way
TO the street. They walked half
block in absolute silence. Goddard's
face was full of thoughts too vague
for utterance.
"There is but one course before you
now" counseled Father Surtees, as
they paused on an isolated street cor
ner and faced each other.
"And that is"
"To make n clean breast of it all to
Blanche"
"If she were dying it might not be
so hard" said Goddard, "but-" tears
of agony rushed to his eyes; "but to
know that she will live on to loathe
me as she would a noisome reptile
which had for moment coiled itself
around her unsuspecting heart. Oh,
God! advise me to kill myself"
"Eou never were coward, Row
land" And Father Surtees laid his
hand on Goduard's arm with tender
touch. at is the consequence of your
faults take it on you like a man. Go
TO her. Tell her the whole truth"
THANK YOU" said the major; 81
shall do it,
He was turning away when the
priest caught his arm again.
"You say the other is here in New
York;"
81 think So" was the answer.
81 know you well enough now," said
the priest, refectIvely, wei enough
to feel sure you could never rail- in her
power again"
"lf l meet her nothing-no power in
Heaven nor beneath-could prevent
my killing her"
Nothing but Blanche" said the
priest. "She would prefer to have as
little publicity as possible. No; re-
strant must be part of your burden.
The woman must live"
''To assassinate BlancheP" cried the
major "No!'
"She will never 40 it when she
knows that you and Blanche are
parted. OF course, Blanche will want
to go away at once"
"Of course" Goddard staggered
away. A cab was passing, and he
hailed it. The cabman smiled know
ingly on the priest as he helped his
friend TO get in. He thought he was
taking up a drunken swell. The
priest gave the directions in a cold
tone of reproof, and pressing God
dard's hand. he turned away.
Oh God, don't desert the poor, poor
fellow" he said, with lis eyes raised
TO a star which, pale al a white dia-
mond, CLEANED above the yellow glare

To Roll Zinc at joplin.

The Joplin News-Herald Sunday
contained story to the effect that a
company of Boston and New York
capitalists has decided to build a
smelter, a sulphuric acid works and a
zinc rolling mill at that place. The
parties are now stopping in Joplin
and names are withheld, but they are
said to be old and we'll known zinc
men, who after looking the field over
picked on Joplin.
Speaking of the plant and the future
zinc, the Herald says:
'In conversation one of them said:
''The future of zinc as staple article
is bright, because of the fact that its
use is becoming more varied as time
progresses. In architectural work
zinc is fast supplanting copper, be-
cause it is cheapera has been found
to be more durable. The government
authorities have instructed its archi-
tects to adopt the use of zinc forcornice
and for other materials used in thecon-
struction of the government buildings
if practical to do so.
Zinc has been tested in the old coun-
try and tits something that will not
corrode.
There is now going up in Boston, u
building to cost over 1000, 600 and
zinc will be largely used in its con-
struction, instead of copper,
"Our works in Joplin will include
everything necessary to make all the
products of the smelted article, includ
ing u rolling mill to make the sheet
zinc and we will save all the sulphuric
acid. We will manufacture our own
gas and the site for the works has al
ready been selected and the right of
way secured for a railroad spur.
1t is probable that zinc shingle
mandatory will be established in
Joplin ere long, A leading mining
man of this city will be in Kansas City
tomorrow to discuss plans and pro-
position with number of capitalists
who selected Kansas City as the meet
ing place. Several are from Colorado
where a deep interest is being mani
tested in more substantial material
than the western red wood shingle be-
cause of the fact that wooden shingles
last only comparatively short time
in that climate by reason of the heavy
falls of snow which usually lie upon a
roof during the entire winter period.
If it can be demonstrated that zine
shingles can be manufactured here at
cost that is not expensive when it
comes to comparing the life of thepro-
duct it is believed that ample capital
can be produced to carry out the enter
price. The Joplin promoter has been
working on the matter for some time
and he hopes TO interest some of his
former mining friends of Colorado in
the enterprise"

CHAPTER XVIII.

When the major reached Lyndhurst
that evening it was six o'clock. Talley
met him at the steps of the veranda.
"Well," said the young man buoy
antly, the semidarkness preventing
him from observing the disturbed
tountenance of his employer; "well,
major, have you seen the market re-
ports?'
"No; l haven't had time to-day; I
I-whereis mywi- Where is Blanche ?"
The young man beamed and rubbed
his hands together.
"Then you don't know that the G..
n. e. w. has taken a jump and is now
actually worth two for one?"
as that so? Where did you say she
WASP" looking up towards the un-
lighted window of Blanche's room.
81 am afraid you don't realize that
you have made fortune out of this
deal, major" said Talley, crestfallen.
"Oh, yes; am glad, of course" said
Goddard, absently. But, impatient
ly, 81 want to see Blanche at oncei"
''She was walking in the garden on
the other side of the house few min
utes ago." answered the private secre-
tary. II beg your pardon; 1 was so
glad to be able TO bring you good
news, l wanted to ask il you would
advise selling now. The prospect is
glorious for an additional rise. The
stock is on a boom. Even my little
investment has turned out more
money than ever hoped to"
But the major was not listening.
He turned his tortured face away, and
was striding through the dusk to-
wards the garden in the rear. Near
the old granite fountain in the center
of the garden he saw a tall, darkly-
clad figure moving slowly to and fro.
1t was the object of his quest. Her
head was bare, but she wore fur
cape, the high collar of which encom-
passed her head except a triangular
opening where her sweet face ap-
peared.
"Oh, it is you," she cried, his hur-
ried step causing her to turn sudden
ly, and she moved towards him
quickly, her gloved hands out
stretched. 81 have something very
important to tell you. / started to
drive to the station to meet you"
81 have something to say first" he
said, taking her hands.
"What is it? What is the matter|
She had noticed tie strident quality
in his voice.

at the house, as if fearing interruption
Let's walk down towards the
wood" he said, 81 have an awful con.
fession to make. When you have
heard it you will despise me. You
will wish you had never seen me. You
will think me devil incarnate."
AS Blanche moved on by his side
she had suffocating sensation in heI
throat, and she unbuttoned her cape
and threw IL further back on her
shoulders. She saw something of vast
import had happened; she knew that
by the awful alteration in his face and
manner. He bore every evidence oi
being utterly crushed.
"Mr. Talley said he had gone into
speculation" was her first thought
"and he has lost my fortune"
Nothing You can confess could
make me love you one jot less, my
dear husband" she managed to say
"You have made me so happy that
would thank God for you if l were q
