Perhaps 1t is a lie. Let us hope so,
John"
For moments no word was spoken.
John Burt stood by an opened win
dow, with his back to his friend, and
gazed out into the darkness.
Tell me about it, JIM" he said,
breaking the silence.
Blake related the details Of his in
PRODUCTION to Arthur Morris and told
Of the night spent in the latter's apart
ment. He repeated the conversation
as nearly as he could recall it.
John abruptly changed the subject
and questioned Blake about his inter
view with Peter Burt, and smiled
quietly wnen he related his expert
ence with the old man. He was not
displeased that Blake had been forced
to reveal his secret.
81 have anticipated his advice about
going to New York." said John. "My
plans are made and II you are will
ing, we will make New York the fn-
ture headquarters of James Blake &
Company, with the San Francisco es-
tablshmont branch house. Think II
over, Jim, and let me know your de-
cision as soon as possible"
1--WE thought 1t over" said Blake.
"rm ready to go to New York the
minute you say So"
Every well, wen go this MONTH
said John Burt.
1t was long past midnight when
Blake drove away and left John Burt
to the narrowing society Of his
thoughts. For hours he sat before the
portrait Of Jessie Garden. He recalled
the day when she had laughingly
placed the cherished tintype in his
hand. And now she was in Paris. by
the grace and under the bounty OF
Arthur Morris-the one man in all
the world he hated.
"It's a lie-an infamous, damnable
liel" he repeated as he paced up and
down the room. 1T is not so-it shall
not be SOL"
But the Dlack CLOUDS OF uOuDt again
obscured the rift made by vehement
hope. What reason had he to doubt
the statement made by Morris? Had
not Morris wealth, influence, social
standing? Was not Iessie under obli-
cations to him?
And what of Jessie? What valid,
lasting claim had he on Jessie Car.
den? A few words spoken under the
stress Of great excitement, a promise
OF her friendship and Of her prayers

No word from him had come to her
during long years. For all she knew
he was dead. What right had he to
expect that she should PLAY the part
Of Penelope to a silent untrothed

CHAPTER XVII.
A FOREIGN 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 a frultless attempt to locate
John Burt.
Morris had no difficulty in obtaining
from General Garden the continental
address of his daughter. She was
studying in Berlin. and Arthur Morris
wrote a long. letter informing her Of
his complete recovery. He calmly
ignored the events which led to the
shooting. and seemed to have forgot.

hands. The letter read as II their last

EX-U. s. Senator M. G. Butler from
- South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a recent
letter from Washington, D. c., he says:

CHAPTER xvI.-continued.

John heartily congratulated Blake
on his mastery generalship.
I'VE will talk business tomorrow,
JIM" he said. 81 am more anxious
to hear of other matters. Now, tell
me the news. Did you hear of Miss
Garden? Is my grandfather alive?"
"Peter Burt is alive and we'll" said
Blake, glad to bring some good It'd
ings.
"Alive and WE'LL" repeated John
Burt MAY God bless him! That is
good news. &C on, jim"
Arthur Morris is alive" said Blake,
without lifting his eyes.
"The local papers contained that
news" observed John, carelessly.
whats the matter, old man? You're
pale. Are you ill.,"
1--WE bad news for you, john" he
said, desperately. 81 may as well tell
you and be over with it. Miss Car
den's engaged to be married."
Johns lip frightened and a red spot
burned on his cheek.
ITO whom?"
"To Arthur Morris, John"
John Burt sprang to his feet, hurl-
ing the chair backward with a crash.
He strobe forward, his eyes blazing
with fury and his features convulsed
with passion.
Its lie, Blake-it's lie, and you
know it's lie!"
He lowered above his astonished
friend. His fingers were clenched and
his lips twitched. Turning abruptly,
he walked across the room with his
hands pressed over his forehead. For
a moment he stood silent, then abrupt
ly turned to Blake with his hands
outstretched.
81 beg your pardon, jim! Forgive
me, old man! | didn't know what
was saying. Forgive me, Jim, will
you?"
Certainly, John, but there's moth
ing to forgive" replied Blake heart

Wears LARGE Shoes,

There is a New York barber who
wears a number IL shoe. He was a
sergeant in the German army, noted
for his stability. He has a brother in
the old country whose foot is so big
that no ready made shoe can be found
to fit him. When he needs a new pair
of shoes he buys a side Of leather and
sends for a shoemaker, who fashions
his footgear at home. His foot is the
largest in all Germany, about number
II in size.

Ulysses who reused to return from
exile?
This suggested train of bitter con
lecture. Why had he not been con
tent with a modest fortune? Why
had he devoted years to the amass-
ing of wealth which now Knocked his
love? Why had he despised the pre-
tensions of Arthur Morris? Why had
he failed to take steps to positively
ascertain the result of Morris's
wound?
The words of Peter Burt came back
to him: ut is written in Gods word:
If thou faint in the day Of adversely
thy strength is small; for just man
falleth seven times and riseth up
again!'" Had he fallen seven times
From the hour he left the old mans
side until that night, no shade Of dis
appointment had come into his life.
Success had followed success and tri-
umph had succeeded triumph. Every
prophecy made by Peter Burt had
been more than fulfilled.
AS he recalled the past he remem-
bered with keen Joy the parting words
of the old man: "You have the love
Of a woman I respect. She will wait
for you. Do not let the impatience of
your love imperil your chances"
The sense of coming victory stole
over him as he stood before the por-
trait and repeated the words: "She
will wait for you; she will wait for
you" That which is not menaced;
that which does not demand the dan
ger and turmoil Of battle, is not
worth struggling for.
Four weeks later John Burt stood
on a ferry boat and gazed for the first
time on the matchless water front
and the ragged but impressive sky
line Of New York city.
Blake had preceded him, and had
installed the permanent headquarters
of James Blake G. Company, He met
John as he stepped from the train.

THE DAISY FLY KILLER
Ostrich PIucklna.

Ostrich plucking is really not .
"plucking" but a cutting" says a
writer in Country Life in America.
The ostrich is coaxed into a wedge
shaped Enclosure and a small bag
drawn over his head, which renders
him unresisting. The large plumes
are carefully cut, leaving an inch Of
the quill, which in time drops out. A
few of the small feathers, when ready
to fall out, are really pluckod. An
ostrich yields about fifty feathers at

Perhaps the earliest instance Of
ecclesiastical promotion won by pun

The learning of Japanese will be
greatly facilitated by the abandon

and printing their language. Ten

Youth has nothing to do with years
