This Is quite clear. I understand the

And because Mr.. Grip has the first
"No. You are wrong. Really, | have
no idea who is entitled to the discovery"
But. since Mr.. Grip has been before
me. you very naturally ask yourself how
many more may have an inkling of the
new process Anterior claims"
Exactly"

to convince you who has the sole claimy'

also"
IF could inform you when and where
Mr.. Grip obtained all the information
he possesses on this subject. and the real
discovcrcr would corroboratc every state

Certainly. Your word would be am

WELL then. 1t simply resolves ITSELF
into this: I will demonstrate that Mr..
Grip never dreamed of such thing as
this new process until the last hour-.that

This puts Grip In q very bad light.

"Hc puts himself in a bad light"
"Yes--yes-to be sure. But It IL none
the less disagreeable to think Of"
'To man like you, Mr.. Mead. who
has earned all you own by square,
STRAIGHTFORWARD dealing, It must be dis.
agreeable. I now pronounce Jackson
Grip a thief. And In good time will
prove him a thief. Can you give Inc a

"Ycs--call at least an hour earlier"
Arthur Mayberry walked away. resolv.
ed to expose Grips rascality. He was
walking quickly, his mind intent on
Grips harlihOod and cheek, when he
encountered his fellow.clerk, Parker, ard
two young ladies'.
One Of the ladies' was soon to be Mrs.
Parker, the other was her sister. May
berry saluted the group, and stopped to
exchange greetings, when the young 10.
dies turned to look ut one Of their own
sex.
'Such n pretty grill.
pretty! she Is more than pretty" said
Parkcrs affianced. 'She Is q beauty
III she was only rs well dressed as
she might be-"
DRESS or no Dress" persisted Parker's
atiianced. Miss Bruce. "Nan, II l had
that girls face and figure, I'd not give q
groat for fine dress. Am not right, Mr.
MayberryY'
Arthur Mayberry blushed furiously
Ralph Parker laughed.
"Who Is It, Mr.. Parker. I am dying e
know"
"well. I don't think Mayberry eve,
spoke to her In his life, but he saved thu,
young lady's life the other day at tn,
risk Of his own. She Is the daughter o.
one Of the workmen In the mill"
Then they bcsiegcd him. wonan-likc
until he told them the story.
In the meantime Maybcrry was making
his way to a friends Office, Il young law
yer In whom he could coniide. and who's,
friendship had been manifested In diver,
ways and on numerous occasions.
But his mind was not occupied alto
gcther with Atherton's new process. Ath
erton's daughter was In the foreground
Her light step, her bright, beautiful face
with her wonderful clear eyes, that seem
cd to look through him ut II glance, wa,
before him.
And now, since the Misses Bruce pro
nounced her pretty, he knew It was 10
fancy on his part. lie was thinking o.
her, OF the marvellous manner In whicl
! she escaped horrible death through BIZ
fundamentally, when, upon crossing
street, they were brought face to face.
Was 1t fancy? No. She blushed whel
he doffed his hat quickly, saying:
"Miss Atherton."
. Mr.. Mayberry."
! Then she passed on, while the younI
man repeated her name to himself.
Observation-Disclosures. That's a. goo,
as any name In the city-sounds as fine
? even II she Is puddler's daughter. !
] puddler's daughterv he added mentally
. 'POoh! In land where q railcuttcr ma,
be, has made himself, President, tn
daughter Of any honest workingman ma
become the foremost lady In the country.
y Then his pulse quickened as he though
, he would have the pleasure Of seeing an
speaking to her In the evening. He w0ul
be compelled to see Atherton, to arrang
}, for their interview with Mr.. Mead on tn
!. morrow. And II there was no one else
a why could he not pay his court to TIL
a young girl? Who had better right? Ay
. who had as strong claim on her?
Then he blushed again, for shame, tina

almost heroic-shOuld be by him place.

a love that comes, and Is, unsOught.
He called upon his young friend, VII

Z the law than many an old practitioner
and related all that had transpired-th

heard, ana the use he had made lmmed
ately of the knowledge he had thus SUI
