It was necessary to fill Wheaton's
place, and while they were casting

Thompson received offers from Chi

bank. The offer was advantageous;
both Of the founders, were old and
bated long what they should do. The
bank was a child of their own Great
ing; Porter was particularly loath to
part with it; but Evelyn, to whom he
brought the matter in a new spirit Of
dependence on her, finally prevailed
upon him. They closed with the offer
Of the syndicate, parting with the con-
troll but remaining in the directorate.
Porter had other interests that re-
quired his attention, chief among
which was the Traction company; and
after the bank question had been de-
termined, he gave himself to a care

CHAPTER XXXVH.
Old Photographs.

In the days that followed, John
Sa1ton knew again the heartache and
loneliness which he had known be-
fore Wary Raridan came into his life.
Jie had lost the first real friend he
had ever had, and his days were once
more empty Of light and cheer. His
work still engrossed him, but it failed
to bring him the happiness which he
had found in it when he and Wary
discussed it's perplexities together. His
memory sought its old ruts again; the
hardship and failure of his years in
Wyoming were like fresh wounds. He
talked to no one except Bishop Della
field, who had reasoned him out Of
his seif-indictment for Warry's death.
Fte did not know that his own part
in the recovery Of Grant Porter, as
Bishop Deafield described it, was
touched with q fine and generous
courage, and he would have resented
it if he had known.
Wary was constantly in his
thoughts; but he thought much Of
Evelyn, too; thru all the years to
come, he told himself, he would re-
member them and they would be his
ideals. Echoes Of the gossip which
connected Warrys name and Eve
llyn's reached him, and he felt no

Wary.
John spoke Of Warry's last photo
graphs, and Evelyn went and brough
a number which he had never seer
Several Of them dated back to Wary
boyhood. They were odd and inter

spectacles made appear preternatural

particularly, Evelyn asked him to take
and his face lighted with pleasur
when she made it plain that sh
wished him to have it. She told
some of Warry's pranks in their child
hood, and they laughed over ther
with guarded mirth.
1T was wonderful that so man
kinds of people were fond of Wary,
said Evelyn. He never tried t
please, and yet no man in. town eve
had so many friends"

ent Indifference. He was not working
for William Porter, he told himself,
at times when Porter's attitude an
noyed him; he was working for the
United States district court; and he
went on doing his duty as he saw it.
He was, however, anxious to be re-
Hevei, but Fenton begged him to re-
main thru the reorganization. He
liked Saxton and admired his steady
persistence. Together they worked
out the problem of the proposed new
company, and managed it with so
much tact and self-effacement that
Porter believed all their SUGGESTIONS
TO have originated with himself.

ton, speaking to Saxton one day of
the necessity Of this method of proce-
dure. He's a perfect brick, and he'll

shock that such surmises should
be a1oat. Wary and he had under
stood each other; they had talked of
Evelyn frequently; Wary had come to
him often with the condolences of a
despairing lover, and John had encour-
aged and consoled him. He predicted
his ultimate success; it had always
seemed to him an inevitable thing
that Wary and Evelyn should marry.
Three weeks passed before he saw
her, and then he went to her with an
excuse for his visit in his mind and
heart. Wary had left a will in which
the bulk of his property-and it was
a respectable fortune-was given for
the endowment of a hospital for chill
dren. Saxon was named as executor
and as a trustee Of the fund thus set
apart. Wary had never mentioned
the matter to any one; he had prob
ably never thought of it very seriously,
and John wished to talk to Evelyn
about it.
It seemed strange that the Porter
drawing room was the same, when
everything else had changed; he had
not been there since the afternoon
thru the cold. He despised himself
for that now; it was an act of disloy-
atty to Wary; but he would now be
more loyal to the dead than he had
been to the living.
AS they talked together he saw no
change in her; and he felt himself
wondering what manner Of change It
was that he had expected to find. He
had heard of people who aged sud
denly with grief, but Evelyn was the
same, save for a greater composure, a
more subdued note Of manner and
voice. She bent forward in her deeu
interest in what he told her of War
rvs bequest- He wished her help,
and asked for it as if it were her right
to give it. Surely no one had a better
claim than she, he thought.
1T is so like Wary she said. ..It
will be a beautiful memorial and
there is enough to do it very hand
somely.'
HE liked things to be done WE'LL y
said John. He marveled that she could
speak of 1T SO quietly. Failure and
grief possessed his eyes, and Evelyn
was conscious Of deepening of the
pathos she had always seen and felt
in him, as he sat talking Of his dead
friend. She pitied him, and was obe-

If the sea serpent ever is discovered, it
will probably be found to be a monster
living in the deep sea. And let us start
right now and call it a monster, not a
serpent. It is entirely possible that fishes
as large as a whale live in the ocean at a
depth Of two miles. II such monsters ever
did come to the surface they might easily
be mistaken for serpents.
The dredging machines that are used
for deep sea work are intended for small

discharges into the air. The fact that
when a body surrounded by a cloud
of dust or mist is electrified, that part
of the cloud Immediately surrounding
the body is dispersed, the particles
driven away, SIS we'll known. Sir oliver

One of the first things for the bust
ness-like housekeeper to do is to take
an inventory of the household prop
critics and their condition, with date.
1t is considerable work to do this at
first, but very little to keep it up to
date once it is made. The date Of
buying and of retirement from use
fulness are desirable, since from these
one knows how long service was re-
ceived and whether napkins and other
linens have been as profitable as some
other weave would be. The inventory
may read somewhat after this style:
Dec. 1, 1908, twelve dinner napkins,
damask, embroidered, new. Under
that, twelve medium napkins, Belfast,
plain, partly worm and so on thru the
list. Another date line should be left
at the right for time of usefulness
ended. Besides the advantage of
knowing at any time what one has
lasted, there is also the satisfaction of
knowing at any time what one has
and in what condition, and in cases
of loss by fire such inventory has
proved the best basis for adjustment
claims. Such inventories often have
to be made when estates are settled.
No one who has ever had such a rec
ord Of her possessions will care again
to be without it. Ones memory Is
most unreliable when one depends
upon II LOT l1llOrIndllOn Ol L1le h1llU
contained in an inventory.
In the kitchen, the same attention
will be paid to the supplies if one
buys by quantity. Whether one
should do this in small amounts de-
ponds upon many things. There is
no economy in buying in bulk If one
has no storeroom, for what is saved
in first cost is lost by spoiled goods.
There Is a great saving in cash in buy
| ing in quantities if one has a proper
place to keep supplies dry and cool
Ones account book, in which are
entered all purchases, serves to show
| such points as may be desired for
reference-time of buying, quantity
cost-and there is no better check to
extravaganza and wastefulness than a
| list of ones expenditures from month
to month. With that to consult, when
| expenses seem too great, it is easy to
find wherein one might have beer
wiser. ItemiZed expense accounts are
to be preferred to those giving ex-
penses by class; for instance, instead
of "graceries, $10," it will be found
better to name the items with price
for one often will refer to them. They
grow into a table of comparisons
which is helpful as reference, and in
future years will have something OF
sentimental value, as little associated
as sentiment and expense accounts ap-
pear to be.
