Frye stroked his nose reflectively
his visitor with hawk-like eyes.

he said at last. "A very we'll told tale
indeed. OF course you have retained
all the articles you say were found on
the child?"
es, We've kept 'em all, you may
be sure replied Uncle Terry.
And why did you never make any
Official report of this wreck and of the
facts you state?" asked Frye
Il did at the time" answered Uncle
Terry, but nothin' cum ont. | guess

"Waal, I've told We the facts" re-
piled Uncle Terry, IAN if the gals GOT
money comm I'd like to see her cit
it. What's goin' to be the cost o. dom
the business?"
The matter of expense is hard to
state in such a case as this" answered
FRYE cautiously. THE estate is a large
one. There may be, and no doubt will
be, other claimants. Litigation NAV
follow, and so the cost is an uncertain
one. l shall be glad to act for YOU in
this matter and will do so if YOU re-
tain me-"
1t is said that those who hesitate are
lost. and at this critical moment Uncle
Terry hesitated.
He did not like the looks of FRYE.
He suspected him to be what he was
shrewd, smooth, plausible villain.
Had he obeyed his first impulse he
would have picked up his hat and left
Frye to wash his hands with invisible
soap, and laid his case before some
other lawyer, but he hesitated. Frye,
he knew, had the matter in his hands
ana might make the claim that his
story was false and fight it with all
the legal weapons Uncle Terry so much
dreaded. In the end he decided to put
the matter in Frye's hands and hope
for the best
Il shall want you to send me de-
tailed story of this wreck, sworn to
by yourself and wife," said Frye; "also
the articles found on this child, and
l will lay your atfidavits before the at
torneys for this estate and report

T~ 1HE effect of Albert Pages Wig
i orous efforts to attain success
kMsNXNNj was not lost upon his friend
~ Frank.
| After their Christmas visit to Sand.
gate Albert had applied himself dill.
gently to the care of Mr.. Nason's legal
needs. This brought him into contact
with other business men, and the fact
that John Mason employed him easily
secured for him other clients. In two
months he not only had Mr.. Nason's
affairs to look after, but all his re-
naming time was taken up by others
He had spent several evenings at the
Nasons' home and found the family a
much more agreeable one than Frank
had led him to expect. Both that
young mans sisters were bright and
agreeable young ladies, and though a
little affected. they treated him with
charming courtesy and extended to
him cordial invitation to have his
sister make them visit.
Since the day he had shaken his fist
ut the closed door of Mr.. Frye's law Of
nee Albert had met that hawk nosed
lawyer twice and received only a chill
Ing bow. The memory of that con-
temtible contract he had tacitly allow
ed Frye to consider as made brought a
blush to hts face every time he thought
of 1t, but he kept his own counsel.
Once or twice he had been on the point
Of telling Frank the whole story, but
had refrained.
In his intimate relations with John
Mason he saw enough to satisfy himself
that Fryes insinuation against that
busy mans character was entirely
false. Mr.. Mason seldom spent an
evening away from his home. and when
he did it was to attend the theater with
his family.
After their visit to Sandgate Frank
and himself naturally drifted into more
Intimate relations, and day seldom
passed that Frank did not step into his
office for chat
Don't mind me, Bert" that uneasy
man would say when he saw that
Page was busy, land if you don't want

One evening at the club he made AL
bert a rather surprising proposition.
Albert, who seldom entered into any
card games and only occasionally play
ed pool or billiards, was in the reading
room as usual enjoying Il cigar and
the evening paper when Frank drew
up a chair and sat down. They We're
alone, and as Page laid his paper aside
Frank said:

lutely tired and sick of doing nothing.

slowly emitting it in rings. Its been
SO many years, an since got thinkin'
bout 1t I'd like to take look at 'em,
jest to remind me o. that fortunate
day We came to u.s.
The girl arose and, going upstairs, re-
turned with a small tin box shaped like
trunk and, drawing the table up in
front of Uncle Terry, set the box down
\, Tpon 1t. AS he opened it she perched
N,erself on the arm Of his chair and,
gaming against his shoulder, passed one
arm caressingly around his neck and
watched him take out the contents.
First came soft, feecy blanket, then
two little garments, once whitest mus
lin, but now yellow with age, and then
another smaller one Of flannel. Pinned
to this were two tiny shoes of knitted
wool. In the bottom of the box was a
small wooden shoe. and though clumsy
in comparison, yet evidently fashioned
to fit lady's foot. Tucked in this was
little box tied with faded ribbon, and
in this were a locket and chain, two
rings and scrap of paper. The writ
Ing on thu paper, once hastily scrawled
by despairing mothers hand, had al
most faded, and inside the locket were
two faces, one mans with strongly
marked features, the other girlish with
big eyes and hair in curls.
These were all the heritage of this
! waif of the sea who now, fair girl
Awith eyes and face like the woman's
picture, was leaning on the shoulder
of her foster father, and they told a
pathetic tale of life and death; OF ro-
nance and mystery not yet unwoven.
How many times that orphan girl
had imagined what that tale might be;
show often before she had examined
every one of those mute tokens; how
many times gaZed with mute eyes at
the faces in the locket; and how, rs
the years bearing her onward toward
maturity passed. had she hoped and
waited, hoping ever that some word,
some whisper from that faroff land of
her birth might reach herI
And as she looked at those mute rel
les which told so little and yet so much
of her history, while the old man who
had been all that kind father could
be to her took them out one by one,
she realized more than ever what
debt of gratitude she owed to him.
When he had looked them over and
put them back in the exact order in
which they had been packed. he closed
the box and taking the LITTLE hand thar
had been caressing his face in his own
lwrinkled and bony one, held it for Il
1moment. When he released it the girl
stopped anu, pressing her lips to his
weather Drowned cheek. arose and re-
sumed her seat.
WAL, ye better put the box away
now" said Uncle Terry at last. "I'll
ajest go out an take look off'n the
pint, and then it'll be time to turn in"
