hams and parting from the other
dinner guests.
But this night the thought of Mrs.
Holcomb's and the quiet room was
curiously repugnant. and so he
roamed. like any vagrant, far and
wide, drifting at length to the rail-
way crossing and beyond. and COM
ing to some sense of the actualitieS
only when he found himself in the
neighborhood of the iron works.
At this he would have turned back.
Since the closing of the works the
plant had been guarded nightly;
first by the inner circle of deputies.
and later by an outer Gordon of the
striking workmen. This outer guard
had latterly been maintained in re-
liefs and made continuous, ostensiblv
to show the good will of the strik-
ers and their readiness to protect
the property; but really. as Girls
void knew, to forestall any move on
the part of himself and Raymer 70
supply the places of the men will,
imported labor.
It was a chance collision with this
outer guard that brought Griswold
alive to the actualities. Two men
stepped out of the shadow of a tree
and halted him. Brt at the word
one of them recognized him.
''Oh. it's you. Mr.. Griswold. Beg
pardon. sir. but you see we have to
be sort o. careful"
Griswold's smile was openly cyni-
cal. "Your carefulness is a good

much deeper. The strike is moth
ing less than a part of a conspiracy
to ruin u.s.
"A conspiracy"
THAT is what I said, but the
word doesn't fit. 1t takes two to
conspire, and the attack on us is
instigated by one man. You will
know who he is when l say that his
motive is greed. pure and unalloyetl.'
She nodded slowly. Il know. But
the motive isn't altogether avarice."
What else could it be?'
She defined it in one word:
"Pique."
Griswold did not pretend to mis-
understand
$50 l thought at first. But that
involves woman as we'll as man;
from something which l learned to-
day l am inclined to doubt the wom-
ans completely; to question whether
she knows anything about it,
But at this point Charlotte the
compassionate became Miss Farnham
the austere.
You may be very sure she knows
all about it. If she ever sets up a
crest-and even that won't be beyond
her-the motto for it will be Rule or
Ruin"
Griswold was beginning to doubt
the advisability of any further con-
fidences in the Grierson field, but his
evil genius urged him to defend
Margery.
Isn't that little uncharitab BILE o.
he ventured.
The tone was placable enough, as it
was meant to be, but Charlotte was
only a woman, and Griswold had
been very much in evidence with
Miss Grierson of late, on the high
swung trap and in the Grierson
steam-launch. So she said, rather
coldly: II may seem uncharitable to
you. and l am sorry l said it. But
we are wandering. You say you
know the remedy for your trouble
and Ned's. What is it."
Now Griswold was not any drawer
than other men when it came to fac
ing woman piqued, but since she
had taken him unawares, he must
needs lose his head and say: eft is
personal appeal to this young
woman whom you don't like"

And with that she turned away to
say good night to the others. That
was all. save that she did not give
her hand to Griswold at parting.

A Knave Of
Conscience
BY FRANCIS LYNDE.
Copyright 1909, b. Francis Lynde.)
CHAPTER XNIV.

The threatening storm had blown
over and the moon was shining fair
and full upon placid lake when the
family dinner party at DR.. Farm
hams adjourned to the veranda.
Griswold and the Raymers were the
only guests. and in the marshalling
of chairs Griswold was skillful
enough to cut Charlotte out of the
group and so secure her for himself.
At the dinner table the talk had
turned upon the pivotal point of the
strike. but that subject was coming
to be pretty we'll threshed out, and
on the veranda Charlotte spoke of
the wind-blown incident of the after
noon and of the castaway on Oak
island.
ut was terribly reckless thing
for you to do-to go out after him
in the Sprte." said Miss Farnham.
Now next to being exalted as a
demigOd by the woman of his choice
n man loves best to have her believe
him fearless. So Griswold dismissed
the matter lightly.
What is a man fore" he asked.
"But as for that. the danger isn't
worth mentioning"
'You may think so. but Gertrude
and ] did not. We stood up here on
the veranda and watched you. going
and coming. Gertrude says I pinched
her black and blue grabbing her and
saying: oh. she's gone!' when the
scud or big wave would hide YOU"
Here was small admission which
no mere human sympathy could ac-
count for, and Griswold pinche,l him
self black and blue in the ecstasy of
1t. 1t was coming. slowly. perhaps.
but surely, and the name of it was
love.
"But think of it." he said. willing
to make that string vibrate some
more: think of how you and Miss
Gertrude would have shone in the
borrowed effulgence of me if had
been capsized. The Morning Argus
would have had you out to identify
the remains. and"
"Oh. please hush!" she said. and
her hand was on his arm: where
upon he went obediently from the
grewSome to the matter-of-fact.
Really. there wasn't any danger
worth speaking of; and the fellow
was glad enough to be picked up, I
assure you"
"Who was hep" she asked.
"NO one whom you know: a man
named Griffin-a summerer, fancy"
81 do know him." she asserted.
And then: 81 don't like him."
Griswold was both puzzled and
curious.
May ! ask how and why?-how
you came to meet him and why YOU
don't like him?"
She was silent while one might
count a score. and when she smoke
her reioinder was half reluctant
question.
81 wonder If I might dare to tell
you about ito"
81 have been hoping that the time
would come when you would dare to
tell me anything"
She passed over the implication
and went on, following out her own
thought.
ut is rather dreadful. and ]
haven't told anyone about my part
in it; that is. not anyone but this
Mr.. Griffin and he had a right to
ask" she said:, and from this as a
beginning she told him the story OF
the bank robbery in New Orleans
and of her part in the apprehension
ut the robber.

a considerable part Of his paper TO praise
Of Nathan Stratus for the milk charity which
he has carried on since 1895.
Prof. Freeman said that In 1898 the rate
Of mortality among little children was one

that where, ten years ago, the rate was
2+O in 900. Il fs now 1853. After telling OF
the good which several societies have 90

Another important factor was In supply

by the Straus milk charity. Started 10 1888,
the year in which the decline In deaths be-
gan, with an output Of $1,000 bottles, there
were supplied In 1894. 500 900 bottles, and In
1896, 100000 bottles Of inspected milk.
The output then remained much the
same until last year, when milk was GER
tilted by the Milk Commission Of this society
and was examined by the members, and
the demand reached the great total OF
100 600 bottles. This enormous increase
