not to be here written down. For
at that moment there was a heavy
step on the gravel and some one came
to interrupt. 1t was Andrew Gal

most before he knew it, he was climb

very veranda steps he came alive to
some sense of what he was about to
do, and would have stopped to weigh
the consequences-to turn back, it
may be. But a trim little figure
slipped from a hammock at the cor

to meet him.

She was looking past him again,

REMEMBRANCE.

ne think Of lOng-past moments,
The day we say good-by;
m. tear we do not care to show
Comes stealing to the eye;
me voice that lulled us long ago
l. tremulOus and sad;
The busy city far away
has lost the charm it had;
The peacOck's cry is shrill, as though
Protesting, AID her hands
Are pressed against her eyes, as we
Look back where mother stands.
With prayers to Him above US,
We hurry on the way,
And leave the ones who love US
Too proud, alas, to stay!
We soon forget the heartache,
The tears soon cease to blind;
We soon forget to pray at night
For those we leave behind;
We hurry on to gain the height,
We strive for wealth and place,
And in our eagerness forget
The dear, pathetic face
But some ones hair keeps turning white,
And while we push ahead
A prayer God first heard long ago
For US each night is said.
Though we forget they love US
And lose our old regret,
The God who reins above us
Knows that they ne'er forget.

deceHtly buried out of sight and be
yOnd the possibility of a resurrec-
tiOn.
1t was during this ante-dinner in
terval of DIFFERENTIATION on Girls
wold's part that two men met behind
a closed door in a first-foor chamber
of the summer hotel on the Point.
One of them was Mr.. Andrew Cal
braith, but now returned from his
call on Miss GriersOn. The other was
shrewd-faced man, as yet in the
prime of life; man with a square
jaw and thin lips and ferretty eyes.
Mr.. Galbraith held cigar between
his fingers, but it had gone out. The
other was smoking a Regalia, and its
subtle fragrance filled the room.
"YOu think you are sure of your
man this time, are you, Grifin?' said
the banker.
The detective blew a smoke-cloud
toward the ceiling and nodded slow
ly. There isn't a shadow of doubt
about his identity, now"
Then, pardon me, Mr.. Griffin, VIII 2
do you come to me. Why don't you
make your arrest and take the man
to New Orleans? I'll be there to APP
pear against him at the fall term of
court"
Il don't rightly know why 1 have
come to you" The detectives reply
was as hesitant as his nod had been.

toners in my time, and don't know
as L ever hung back till now. But

briefly. Il can't conceive of any
thing which would come between YOU
and your sworn duty"
That's it; that's just it. Neither
could l. But something has come be-
tween, this trip. First off, 1 got to
know the fellow pretty well before ]
found out who he was, and-well, he
sort of captured me, as you might
say. He wasn't anybOdy's hOld-up;
he was just a nice, square, clean-cut
gentleman, all open and above-board.
Pretty soon after that, he did me q
considerable of a good turn-took
some trouble to do it. About that
time 1 began to suspect who he was,
and not to be owing him when il
came to the handcuff act, 1 tried to
even up on that good turn of his.
That's where / fell down. Instead OF
squaring the thing, 1 got in deeper
and the cool-headed beggar saved my
life, out and out. Now that's my hot
box, Mr.. Galbraith. What would you
do if the fellow saved your life?"
Andrew Galbraith answered off.

CHAPTER -XXXII.

When Griswold took his leave of
Miss Grierson, which he did as soon
as he could after Mr.. Galbraith's
coming, he did not go to DR.. Farm
hams. On the contrary, he went to
his room at Mrs. HolbroOk's, and
spent the hour before dinner tramp
ing up and down with his hands be-
hind him and with a sharper trouble
than he had ever known gnawing
ruthlessly at his peace of mind.
All through the talk with Margery,
and up to the very instant of inter-
ruption, he had made sure that her
thinly yelled hypothesis revolved
about one Edward Raymer. But at
the last moment, this conviction had
trembled upon it's pedestal and tot
tered to its fall. He thought he had
come to know Margery pretty we'll
we'll enough to be sure that she
would not misunderstood anything
that he might have said. But when
he came to weigh those sayings of
his in the light of a possible miscon-
struction he was moved to grind his
teeth in a very manly agony Of
shame.
He had neither weighed nor meas
ured them at the time-being so sure
that Raymer was the man; but in
that last little outburst of hers there
was room for a most disquieting
doubt; and since man may be a
knave of conscience and still be a
gentleman, Griswold despised himself
very heartily after the fact, going so
far as to question his right to go to
Charlotte until after this terrible
3o,hf was drawn and ouartered and
