prison.
nDo you know" he said softly, 'that
this looks more, as though 1t had been
made Of Confederate money"
She flung up her head. You didn't
say so this morning"
'I did not see 1t this morning." he pro-
tested. ''The only expert opinion given

lis had explained that there was a
package OF five 500 bills and two $500
certificates which no one could account
for save Chet, who had denied all
knowledge of the money. there were
those who refused TO believe that DR..
Berwynd's son could be guilty.
Foremost among these was Ger
trude Hollis, who set aside even her
fathers opinion to declare herself
openly a partisan of Chct, and 1t was
one Of the things that shook her faith
er's faith in his own judgment. Judge
Hollis was a believer in womau's in
tuition.
Il was this which induced him to
hurry the trial ia the hope that some
evidence would turn up whereby the
accused cashier might clear himself
and there was none more pleased
when, two days before the trial, 1t was
discovered that rats had stolen the
package and had made a nest OF the
crisp paper.
Gertrude discovered the nest in
Granny under the cashiers desk. She
communicated her find" to her father.

1t made an insignificant little mass,
this expensive nest, but while the mas
ticated particles were too small to be
redeemed by the Treasury Department,
It was plain to be seen that the nest
was composed OF bills The nest was
duly brought forward at the trial and
was sufficient TO acouit.
Chester was the only one dissatisfied
with the acquittal, and that evening he
called at the Hollis home. Gertrude met
him with an apology for her father, for
whom the excitement of the trial had
been too much.
1T was you / came to see," returned
Chester. II want to ask you a question"
The red flashed into Gertrude,s face.
There had been no open courtship, but It
had seemed to her that there was but
one question Chester would want to ask.
Her heart beat high, but the next mo-

did you do this because you were
sorry?" he asked.
She raised her head bravely- -
Not because I was sorry" -
Because you loved me?"
Her bushes were her answer. In a
moment his strong arms were about
her and she had hidden her burning
face upon his shoulder. How long they
stood there neither knew. 1t was Judge
Hollis who interrupted them. There
were new lines of care In his face as
he came slowly forward from the door
way.
Chester" he said slowly. God
knows how have been hoping that
some day your union with Gertrude
would give me the right to call you

day with no thought OF what would

With cry Gertrude sank upon the
sofa. Chester bent over and kissed
her, then turned to her father.
You are right, JudgeT' he said.
Until this Is cleared to our own salts

slowly to the door. to be 1ostled vio-

shouted the lad I'VE found the bills in

them for a book mark and then forgot

Chester gasped-
And I thought all the time you had

were missed?"
Jack almost sobbed.
