The site for the old cannon donated
by the war department to Abraham

the Newell and Lincoln streets en-
frances to the park.

monies are expected to be of a most

Moreover, he was now a daily Wis
itor at Denecroft. and, treated already
as one of the family. he dined or
lunched there more often than at
home. His relations with Richard be-
came more and more intimate and con-
fdential. Again and again the sub
ject of the latter's adventures in South
family conclave, after dinner, he was
compelled to listen unf1inchingly, and
in the full glare of the brilliantly light
ed room, to a graphic recital OF the
tragedy on the banks of the Mooi
river, to feign indignation, horror and
surprise, to join in conjectures as to
the identity of the criminal, and dis
cuss plans for his exposure and pun
ishment. He also learned, to his dis
may, that Richard had set an inquiry
on foot to achieve these righteous
ends.
And all this under the warm glances
of the girl whom he loved dearer than

fectionate trust and loyal admiration
were thereby turned into so many
