CHAPTER V.

For an hour after his ventursome
return to the bank Griswold tramped
up and down the levee, and the end
of it found him still undecided as
to the manner and direction of his
fight.
The hour had not been altogether
triumphant. The partition which is
the dividing line between a life of
semi-vagrancy and life of crime is
tenuous enough; and any hot-heart-
ed one may break through it at will.
But to be vagrant indeed, one must
first be vagrant at heart; and Girls
wold was far enough from this, now
or at any time; so far from it that
the clt ms of his transformed identi-
ty were already beginning to gall
him. 1t was to little purpose that
he girded at his compunctions, tell
ing himself that one needs must
when the devil drives. Custom,
habit, or whatsoever it may be which
distinguishes the law-abiding from
the lawless, would have its say; and
from railing bitterly at the social
conditions which made his act at
once a necessity and a crime, he
came presently to loathing the sub
terfuges to which the crime had
driven him.
Moreover, mingled with the loath-
ing was a growing fear that he
might not always be able to play
consistently the double role whose
lines were already becoming intri-
cate and confusing. To be true to
his mission, he must continue to be-
in utter sincerity, Griswold the
brother-loving. TO escape the con-
sequences of his act, he must hold
himself in instant readiness to be in
ruthless earnest what a common
thief would be in similar straits
thing of duplicity and double
meanings, alert at any moment to

ITO Be Continued
THE SCOTCH REGALIA RING.
Treasured Among the Royal
Jewels of Scotland.

The traditional history of the
Scotch regalia ring is of the most
tragic, not to say melancholy, char
acter. 1t is believed that it was the
favorite ring of Mary Stuart, and
that, after her judicial murder in
Fotheringay Castle, it was transmit
ted to her son, says Good Words.
From James it descended to Charles
l., at whose coronation at Scone in
1888 it played distinct part. Once
more did this Inflated ring figure at
an untimely and ill-merited death;
for, with almost his last breath upon
the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles be-
queathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust
for his son. In due course of time
the ring came into the possession of
James H., and was carried away with
him on his flight to the continent.
When, however, he was detained by
the fishermen at Sheerness, the ring,
which had been secreted in the
kings underclothing, only escaped
robbery by the luckiest of mistakes
on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de-
scendants, till, by the bequest of
Cardinal York, it became the prop
erty of the reigning dynasty once
more, and was by them replaced
among the royal jewels Of Scotland,
from which it had been separated for
many long year.

turn and slay in the battle of self
preservation.
He had thought that the crisis was
past when he had pawned the last
of his keepsakes earlier in the day
for the money to buy the revolver.
But he had yet to learn that there
is no crisis in the human span save
that which ends it; and all the in
termediate duels with fate are mere
sub-climaXes once they have been
fought-confiicts critical enough at
the moment, but likely to be re-
newed Indefinitely if one lives be-
yond them. And it was another of
those sub-climaxes that came in the
hour of aimless wandering on the
levee. More than once he was tempt
ed to buy back his lost identity at
any price; at every price, if need be.
Not in any other moment of we'll
filled life had he been made to re-
alize what a precious possession is
the fearlessness of innocency;
weighed against it, the thick packet
of bank notes in the red bandanna,
and all that it might stand for, was
as air-blown bubbles to gold. And
yet he would not go back; he could
not go back, since to restore the
money would be more than a confess
sion of guilt; it would be an abject
recantation, a fiat denial of every
article of his social creed, and a re-
turn to primordial chaos in the mat
ter of theories cut of which he could
emerge only as Ariminal in fact.
When the indetermination became
blankly insupportable, he put it
aside with the resolution which was
the strong thread in the loose
twisted warp of his character, and
addressed himself afresh to the un-
solved problem of fight. The pos
session of the red bandanna and it's
holdings made all things possible-in
any field save the theoretical-and

The experiment was made forth
with, and was an unqualified success.
The proprietor not only failed to
recognize him, but drove him forth
with revlings in idiomatic French
and broken English.
Bette! Go back to da levee Were

believe | could walk into the bank
and not be recognized"
The idea was so temptingly ad-
venturous that he gave place to it
on the spur of the moment. Taking
a five-dolar bill from his store, he
fouled it in the mud of the gutter
and then went in to ask the paying
teller to give him silver for it. The
teller shifted at the money, scowled
at the man and then turned back
to his cashbook. Griswold's smile
broke into a laugh when he reached
the street.
The dragon may have teeth and
claws, but it can neither see nor
SMELL" he said, contemptuously,
bending his steps riverward again.
"Now | have only to choose my
route and go in peace. How and

tions to be answered"

Hard Work the Secret of Success
BY RUSSELL SAGE,
New York Capitalist and Broker.

The greatest secret of success is
HARD WORK. Successful men point out
to the younger generation many roads to
success, but when they do not place hard
work above all else they are but starting
the young man to whom they give advice
on the road to failure.
There are side issues to the road to
success, but THE ONE GREAT HIGH
WAY IS HARD WORK.
