CHAPTER XXV.-contInued.


The valet opened the door and John
Burt entered.
For moment Blake did not recog-
rrize him. The moustache and beard
had disappeared, and the strong regu-
lar lines of John Burt's face were in
perfect harmony with the keen, calm
and discerning eyes.
Hello, Jim; what's the matter with
your"
mall right, John, OF fellow; mall
right! Glad to see We, dear Of John!
Have drink, John! Glad to see vel"
Blake swayed and fell into John
Burt's arms. His flushed face and
reeking breath told their own story
without the help Of the emptied de-
canter. Blake weighed two hundred
pounds, but John picked him up and
laid him on the couch as If he were
a child.
You're knocked out, Jim," he said.
"Take nap, old man, and you'll be
all right when you wake up"
With a dull smile on his lips Blake
sank into deep slumber.
The minute hand Of the little clock
crawled half its way around the circle
before John Burt left the side Of his
friend. His eyes were fixed on the
motionless figure, but his thoughts
wandered far away.
Blake groaned and muttered in his
sleep. At first his words were inco-
herent, but as his excitement grew his
voice became distinct, and in higher
key he exclaimed:
"This is awful-awful! What shall
l do; what shall do? l love her! I
love her, and no one shall stand be-
tween us, no one, by God! no one,
rot even" The sentence ended in a
moan and again he sank into quiet
slumber.
Pacing up and down the room John
stepped on crumpled newspaper. He

picked 1t up, glanced carelessly at the
cate and name and ran his eye over
the pages.
The first words that caught his at
tentlon were Miss Jessie Garden"
John Burt stood like statue and
read the paragraph which had thrown
Blake into frenzy Of fear.
Every word burned itself into his
brain. Instinctively he drew back like
one menaced by blow struck in the
dark. Then the enormlty of the thing
came to him. Crushing the paper In
his hand, he strobe across the room
and lowered over the figure Of the
man who had requited years Of friend
chip with an act Of treachery.
Blakes face was turned toward him
the handsome, clear-cut features or
the one he had known since boyhood.
For an instant the impulse to strike
this man dead in his sleep came to
John Burt. Then flood Of feeling
checked the swelling tide of his rage.
"How could you do such a thing,
1im?" he exclaimed, unconsciously
aloud.
For hours John Burt concentrated
his mind on the strange problem which
had so suddenly arisen. At times a
wave of anger swept over him, but
IN the end charity won against odds
which seemed overwhelming.
II was dark when Blake awoke from
his stupor. He raised himself on his
elbows and stared wildly about the
room until his eyes rested on John
Burt. John laid aside the book he had
made a pretense Of reading.
do you feel better. Jim?" he ask
ed, us Blake struggled to his feet,
and passed his hand YEARLY across
his eyes.

exclaimed Blake looking ruefully first
at John and then at the decanter

took some brandy on an empty stom-
ach. Are you sure l said nothing to
offend you. John?"
"You have said nothing to offend
me since that day we had the fight
near the creek In old Rocky Woods"
returned John. looking Blake frankly
In the face. The latter's eyes dropped
IN confusion.
Wen say no more about IT," added
John. Take your bath, and by the
time you are ready, will see that
Roberts has dinner served"
During and after the meal John led
the conversation back over the years
they mad spent together. Blake was
strangely silent. As rule he took
the lead over his quiet companion on
such occasions, but this evening when
he attempted to ioin In the converse

ton, something arose in his throat
and choked him.

his deep voice rumbled as he laid a
giant palm on the shoulder of the
younger man.
They talked for several minutes on
commonplace topics. Mr.. Hawkins
studied the face Of the younger with
a scrutiny which did not escape John
Burt.
"In your new disguise-or lack Of
disguse-you strangely remind me
OF some one," said Mr.. Hawkins sud-
denly. you told me once, as re-
member, that you were born in Massa-
chusetts, didn't you?"
81 did," replied John, land also
told you that Burton was not my
right name. Now, I'm going to tell
you who am, though you must guard
my secret for a while yet-a short
while, hope"
"'John Burton is good enough for
me-" asserted the magnate, grimly.
81 know you're all right, and I'll bet
a million on it. Don't tell me, my
boy, If you run any risk by doing so"
There is no reason why should
not tell you," said John, after mo-
ment's pause. Here is an advertise
ment l recently ran across in a San
Francisco newspaper. Read It,"
John Hawkins adjusted his glasses
and real the following:

Season Opens with Game
with North Adams.
GAME CALLED AT $50
Batteries Are Austin and Meader
and Guntins and
King.

Bennington's 1904 base ball team
will try its wings for the first time on
the athletic field tomorrow afternoon,
when it will go up against a strong
aggregation from North Adams.
The game is to be called at $3.50 and
should be a hotone from start to finish.
The home team has been practicing
constantly Of late and is in good con-
dition.
1t has not had enough team work
practice but ought to work into line in
this respect in q short time. The
makeup of the game is as follows for
the game tomorrow: Meader, catcher;
Austin, pitcher; Ayres, first base; Nc
Guire, second base; Keller, third base;
Graves, short stop; Welch, right field;
Adams or Cullion, center field; Cronin,
left field.
Austin is in better form than he was
last year and much is expected of him.
Meader has not fully recovered from
his injury last winter but his backstop
work is sure to be above par.
Gunting, the former league pitcher,
is to be in the box for the visitors with
King behind the bat. Gunting is a
hard man to hit and the locals can win
only by putting up gilt edge game in
the field.

TO VOTE FOR PARKER.
Indiana Democrats instructed For the New
York Judge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 13.-The
most interesting Democratic state CON
vention since 1892, when Cleveland and
Isaac +. Gray contested for the control
Of the Indiana delegation 10 the ma
tional convention, has opened here.
The sole purpose of the convention was
to elect delegates to the national con
ventiOn, theNstate convention for the
nomination of candidates for state Of
kCes having been called for July 20.
when the same delegates that were in
the convention will return. 4 plat
form will then be adopted.
The feeling of the delegates was in
tense when the convention opened.
The Hearst followers had been
wrought to high pitch of determlna-
ton by rousing addresses at the Clay
pool hotel assembly room by the Rev.
Samuel Sman of Georgia and c. A.
Windle of Chicago. The Rev. Sam
Small advised against voting for Par
ker If he were nominated.
The convention instructed the thirty
delegates TO the national convention TO
vote as Il unit for Judge Parker of New
York for president and indorsed Thorn
as Taggart for national committee
man and recommended him to the ma
tional committee as its chairman.
The first test vote ON the organiZa-
tion OF the convention showed the
Parker forces 10 number l.O94 aud the
Hearst following lGS. The vote on in
struction for Parker was 954 TO $50.
many delegates being in sympathy
with the plea of the Twelfth district
that its two delegates be allowed to
vote their sentiments for Hearst, the
plea being that otherwise IL might en-
danger the state of Representative
Robinson, Democratic congressman
from that district. This was the only
district Of the thirteen carried by the
Hearst following.
\ feature Of the convention was the
demonstration that followed the men
tion of the name Of Mayor George b.
Mcclellan of New York. The cheer
ing lasted for several minutes several
hundred delegates and spectators ris-
ing and waving hats and handker-
chiefs.
