"Why were you sure of it?" she
asked, looking at him steadily Had

see me actively concerned in the
stealing Of your courthouse? Why
should you think well Of me after

"But for YOU, Miss Vlandingham,"
he replied, gratefully, that contest
would have been a sanguinary one.

"but / shall pay for the courthouse

She saw that he was determined.
You may do so some time" she
answered. II don't think YOU should,
but | shall not attempt 10 set my
judgment against your own"
lie thanked her for that. Saving
ten dollars per week it would take
him a little less than two years 10
pay for the pile Of ashes on the
Harmony square. Nevertheless, he
thanked her mentally and heaved a
sigh Of relief.
"Have ell the Concord people
moved over 20 your town, Miss
Vlandingham?" he queried, smilingly.

GUYS cheeks were in n flame.
When he had prepared himself that
evening for his call at the Mortimer
home-one of the finest homes in
Jamestown-he had no cause 20 be
ashamed of his appearance. The son
Of Montfort Herbert, even in his
palmiest days. had never looked bet

herself close 10 him, so close that he
could look into her blue eyes and
note the faintest lights and shadows
that played there. A woman's eyes
do all the mischief here below. They
invite or they flash disdain, reveal
nothing OF the heart or everything,
are angelically kind or cruelty indif-
ferent. A little idle chat and then
Miss Betty inquired:

from his thoughts.

the price Of his treachery, he fed to

How much would he give"
He wished me to ask you il you

There it was! Guy REDEEMED. Tact
full as ever, Miss Betty was seeking
TO bestow her charity in the way
least calculated to wound his feel
ings. His pride was exaggerated, Of
course. but had he not loved the fair
girl who was seeking TO aid HIM he
would not have felt so keenly. He
got up.

himself up grandly and haughtily.

He strobe TO the door and laid his
hand on the knob. He was not going
TO look back, but she did not speak,
and he heard something very like
sob. Then he turned. Poor Betty
had her face in her hands and was
weeping forlornly.
Guy felt a sudden parg OF remorse.

way. He had imagined that she

There was no answer, no lifting OF
the bowed head, and he walked 10
her quickly.

coming in torrent, Il am wretch.

AS time is reclloned, Guy had So
journed in Goodwill county for a
period Of two weeks, and two days;
but in the broad fight of events, az
fecting his life for better or for
worse, this fortnight and more I'D
multiplied itself increasingly.
lie had faced the citizens Of Con-
cord very early Wednesday morning
and, with the timely aid Of Samp-
son, had succeeded in clearing his
fair name Of every suspicion. The
people began to see how they had
wronged the Young man, and, as
their anger cooled toward him, it
mounted higher against the Colonel.
When public opinion had reached
the boiling point, the Colonel's castle
was stormed and sacked and Guys
last glimpse Of the fallen idol was
caught from the procession that
wendell its way down the main street
and out Of the town. Before these
irate citizens returned, the train
from the west had arrived and de-
parted, and Guy had gone with it.
His airy dream OF a fortune had
been snufTcd out like candle in full
glare. His inheritance, al that had
been saved from the wreck Of his IA
Tiers estate had sunk from a value
Of many thousands 10 a few paltrv
hundreds. The dream was past. The
stern awakening was at hand, and
there was nothing for him but work.
As he toiled over some ones set OF
books, he could reflect philosophical-
~ on the "rig~r Of the game" that
had wrecked him.
Miss Betty was the one bright spot
in all that chaos Of maneuver, plot,
counterpart and checkmate. He was
in love with her-hopelessly, he
feared, in more than one sense OF the
word. Had Concord won the county
seat and had he, in the boon" that
followed. realized a small fortune
out Of his lots, he might have prose
cuted his suit, wooed and won. Let
sentimentalists pirate as they may,
success in business very often goes
hand-in-hand with success in love.
Besides, Guy had reserve OF pride
How could he face Miss Betty and
tell her that the son Of Montfort
Herbert had hardly a dollar that he
could call his own? No: he would
buckle in" make his mark and then
60 to her. Months would certainly
elapse, perhaps years, but IL his love
could not withstand the wear of time
wherein was il worthy? If she cared
anything for him she would wait. On
the other hand, II she did not care
for him she would marry some one
else and he would face the future in
n manly way and do his utmost TO
forget. IL was wise counsel that his
heart took from his head and he set
about his plans with courage and de-
termination.
He made jamestown his Mecca and
there he found a loan and invest
ment concern in need of an assistant
bookkeeper. lie passed an examina-
ton, was found competent and en-
tered at once upon his duties. His
weekly stipend was S20-not half the
pocket money his indulgent father
had at one time allowed him.
1t is very easy TO work toward a
goal as bright as the one Guy had
set for himself and IL was astonish-
ing how he made shift 10 economic.
Week by week more than half his
salary was laid by and, when a
month had passed, he was so hungry
