came over to him and looked at him
in wonder. He was much younger than
his brother. and good looking in a reck-'
less way.asIn his smart clothes and
smooth-shaven cheeks. it would have
been hard to recognize him as the wild
ragged being who a few days before
had claimed his brothers hospitality
at Eaton.
What's the matter, Jimmy" he
asked, fumbling the paper In hi. hands
neTVously.
Matter enough!" growled the elder.
The rogue fooled us with a copy and

your hand. He had evidently made
arrangements to fool u.s.
The dence!!" and the brother UNI
rolled the document and examined it
carefully. Bless me if you amt right"
and then, tearing it up with a gesture,
or rage, tossed the pieces in the CRATE.
This done, he dropped down sullenly
into a chair near his brother, and for
some minutes neither of the men said
a word. Finally James Ellison rose,
and. coming over to where his brother
was seated, said in an earnest voice:
Il tell you what it is. Frank; this fell
low annoys me, and I wish you would
take steps to relieve me of such an in

of that paper. 1 don't want him
harmed, you know"
He is a cunning rogue, whoever he
Is" replied the other, thoughtfully.
Cunning; of course he is, and for
that reason atn interested in clipping
his claws. Actually, I have not enjoyed
a good nights sleep since he appeared.
l thought. when Briggs arrived with
the Interesting news thai he was an es-
capped convict, that I had him sure.
From the way he acted. I am con-
WINGED that Briggs simply concocted
the story in order TO have something to
show, since he hundred when 1 set
him to watch the man"
That may have been mere bravado."
Well, If that is true, he is the best
actor | ever saw, or the cunningist
rogue. Now, you have had experience
with such people
Frank Ellison adjusted a gold mon
ocole and stared at his brother with
Well-affected astonishment.
Really, my dear boy, 1 am at a loss
to know what you mean by SUCH vulgar
insinuations.'
