CHAPTER XVII.
A Foreion Mission,


Before Morris had recovered from
his wound Jessie Garden had left for
Europe. During his convalescence he
was consumed by two passions: First
to arrest and punish John Burt, and
second to see or hear from Jessie Car
den. Yielding to his demands, the
elder Morris spent thousands of dol
lars in fruitless attempt to locate
John Burt.
Morris had no difficulty in obtainil g
from General Garden the continental
address of his daughter. She was
studying in Berlin, and Arthur Morris
wrote long letter informing her Of
ais complete recovery. He calmly
ignored The events which led to the
shooting, and seemed to have forgot
ten the rebuff he had received at her
hands. The letter read as if their last
meeting had been under the shadow
Of the naples on the Bishop lawn.
Morris waited month for an an
swer to this letter and then wrote a
second one. which was returned un-
opened. In a towering passion he
went to his father and unbosomed the
story Of his treatment.

would go broke on J. & o." he de-
clared, pacing up and down the room.

tune to be people of weak health in
this house; bad sleepers in particu-

night hours to disturbances from
sound. On your premises for some
time past there is a cock, by no
means particularly loud OF discordant,
whose Growing would Of course be in

the unhealthy, is not easily conceiv-

to remove that small animal or in any
way render him inaudible from mid
night to breakfast time such charity
would work a notable relief to certain
persons here and be thankfully ac-
knowledged by them as an act Of good
neighborship."
