escape the pictures that rose in his
mind of a boy wearing his features
and using his body, writing the note
that he had written. When dismem-
bered words and phrases from that
note rose to his mind on the play
ground, the quaver of terror that rose
in Piggys whoop was not dissembled.
Sometimes fear froze his vitals, then
a flush of self abasement burned him
with it's flames. And all the time he
knew that the Pratt girl had that note.
He almost hoped that an earthquake
would swallow her with it before she
could deliver it, When Piggy came
struggling in, hot, sweaty and puff
ing, just as the teacher was tapping
over him. His Hearts Desire was not
at her desk. He knew that he had
still few moments reprieve.
They were singing when his

was tilted back to give his voice full

purposely, thereby accepting affee-

To elaborate the tale of how the

For it holds in it's barbed meshes a

| the Pratt girl had dropped it; saw the
two girls grab for it; heard it crash
from the. seat to the floor with what
seemed to him a defening roar. Nor

might disclose. It might dilate upon

took place.
He visited Grovedale, and such
was his genial nature and manner
that he was well and even cordially
received, for his story was well known

Constance at parting she said to him:

me for any other woman; but his

CHAPTER XXI.
Conclusion.

The husband and wife read the con-
fession together after he had been re-
leased and returned to his own home,
and a great pity took possession Of his
soul for his unfortunate brother.
"He had great innate nobleness,"
said Constance, "or he would not have
given up everything when he might
have kept it,
Eyes, that proves it." said her hus-
band; "but for this I might still be
in confinement and awaiting trial on
the charge of murder; but 1 owe 1t to
your faithfulness, my: wife, first Of all.
!. 80, Vane," she said, 1--WE don half
appreciate our blessings! Think Of
poor Lenora and him.
II know it, dear, but we will try to
be SO kind and tender henceforth as
to compensate for our lack of charity
in the past. And first Of all, we will
try to find Victor and assure him Of
our forgiveness and affection"
II am afraid we cannot, and am
afraid, vane that he. will be arrested
some time, and that would be dread
full
| Yes, but he Is keen and de-
ternlined. Let us hope otherwise"
The Hamiltons continued to reside
l in Grovedale, the children grew to be
a tall youth and maid, and great
comforts to their parents, and they
were taught to feel pity, rather than
detestation for the wicked.
After two or three years passed
away, a large box Of fruit reached
them from California, and they
felt sure the, sender must be Victor.
In five years came a check for one
thousand dollars It was signed
"Charles Rogers" but they were sure
| it came from him also, particularly
| as others followed from time to time.
| They wrote to Charles Rogers, but re-
| ceiving no reply fancied that. he did
not dare answer, and so they would
not write again.
| But at last they heard of him, and
| in a way to create the utmost con-
Isternation. He had been arrested

ranch owner who was arrested and
| held for trial on charges Of former
| dishonesty. How for years he had
commanded the universal respect of
| the community in whichshe lived; how
4 he had risen from being the manager
| to the ownership of large fruit
ranch, and how his friends felt at his
arrest. We all read it, and we SYM
pathized with the reformed man, who
yet must be dealt with as a criminal
/ by the law, and we watched the news
/ papers for further accounts. But
after aftime the matter was dropped
and WefWondered at it.

to the Penningtons had brought the
news of Piggy's disgrace to the neigh
bOrhood and by supper time MRS..
Pennington knew the worst. While
the son and heir of the house was
bringing in his wood and doing his
chores about the barn, he felt some-
thing in the air about the kitchen
which warned him that new tortures
awaited him.
At supper Mrs. Pennington repeated
the legend of the note with great SOL
emnity. When her husband showed
signs Of laughing. she glared at him:
Her son ate rapidly in silence. Over

Mrs. Pennington could get to her ques-
tons was, law, that amt nothin' or

that's somethin'." But she proclaimed.

and the hired girl that if she ever
caught a boy of hers getting girl

Immediately started for California.
They went to the governor and laid
before him the whole story Of his life,
temptations and struggles Vane
pleaded and Constance pleaded, and
both were made eloquent by their
great sympathy and emotions. The
governor fortunately was a man Of
heart as we'll as of justice and dis
comment. Perhaps, too, the grace
and beauty of Constance touched him,
for he was a gallant man.
At all events, after some delay and
no little consideration, a full pardon
was granted Victor Hamilton, and
tkenceforth he was free to travel as
he would. and without fear. 1t was

block from his home. In
stead of slipping them off in the first
block, on his way to school, a great
shadow that settled over his life might
have been lifted. For if he had not

the curb1ng of the street on that
bright, beautiful Monday morning in
September, slipping off his shoes and
stockings, he would have found no
garter snake to kill, and not having
Killed the snake, he would not have
brought 1t to school on stick, and not
having brought 1t to school on a stick,
he could not have chased the little
girls around the yard with it before
the teacher came. And if he had not
been doing that, he would not have
conceived the chivalrous notion that
he might gain the esteem of his
Hearts Desire by frightening her with

Pennington had not made his Hearts
Desire angry-without giving her a
chance to cool off-she would not
have invited Harold Jones to sit and
sing with her during the opening hour.
From the hour of the Jones boys

'Piggy'-became boon companions.

dancing out into the sunshine before
him.
Next year; and when the conquer

in a week-we will have 8 grand we'd
ding at the ranch. How does that
strike you, missy ?"
Glare blushed a little. for the con-
qusring hero was not a myth, and the
wedding actually took place last sum-
mer at the ranch as her uncle pro-
posed. Her parents and brother were
present, and the ring used at the
ceremony was the one left in trust by
the sorroTing mother years before,
and whose spirit must have been
present to bless them all.
