shame for him to keep her out of that
beautiful property.
1t ended in Jack making up his mind
that he would secretly seek the pres
ence of Jessie Cameron, and if ne
found her all that her photograph
seemed to promise, he would attempt
to win her love under another name.
His first step was to discover where
the young lady might be found, and
without difficulty he learned she was
in Edinburgh.
1t was just when he was starting
for that northern capital that the
young American received a mysteri-
GUS letter with the postmark of Edin-
burgh upon the envelope.
The writer, who was undoubtedly
woman. appealed to his love of fair
play-declared that there was plot
on foot to out-general him, and that
those engaged in it were unscrupulous
in their designs. and finally begged
him. il the letter should chance to
reach him through his solicitors, to
meet the writer before midnight on
the night of May 2s, or If not then.

Where Equality Truly Relans.

The vice president Of the United
States went into barber shop at his
old home in an Ohio village to get
shaved. He was busy talking with
some of the politicians when the bar
ber said: 'If you want to get shaved
you must postpone your conversation.
This is my busy day and can't wait"
The vice president did not dismiss the
barber. He dismissed the politicians
and meekly crawled ino the chair.
This is the law of the barber shop,
inexorable, inlexible and immutable. 1t
is subject to no repeal or amendment.
High or low, rich or poor, the call of
next" like the bell Of Macbeth, sum-
mons the customer to the chair or to
the door.
The law Of the barber shop is the
essence Of democracy. 1t is the equit-
able treatment Of the rich and the
poor alike that makes of the striped
pole the palladium of our liberties.
We may think that equal and exact
justice has departed from the court
and the Senate. So long as 1t reigns
supreme in the tonsorial parlor 1t is
a sign that the fires of liberty are still
burning.-Leadville Herald Democrat

left. All wait for is one peep at the

He finishes the muttered sentence

and hurries after the beckoning old

wickedly at himself as he passes the

huskily, for the dramatic situation

"That is reasonable. Turn your
eyes yonder-she who is dressed in
white. Tell me. Senior Jack, saw you
ever a lovelier vision than that?"
And Jack Travers, looking, feels his
heart beat with tumultuous force
against its prison walls-feels his
whole frame thrill with an ecstasy he
cannot explain. He draws a long
breath of resignation and to his guide
says:

The "TalI Enders" That Follow Gen.
uine Articles.
1t is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is splendid opening to
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think Of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original, with no knowledge of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val
liable nourishing elements made di-
gestible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for a short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out OF
business.
Something like 400 OF these little
factories have been started in various
parts Of this country in the past 9
years. and practically all of them have

Jack puzzled over this missive
many times.
He was strongly tempted to ask the

that he left London for the North on

CHAPTER ".
Merely a eusines. Advancement.

Merely Business Arrangement.
In order that Jacks motives may
appear to have at least some degree
OF saneness in the eyes of the reader,
it may be well to lift the curtain a
little at the point of his appearance
In the room, and explain briefly what
mission brings him to Edinburgh. and
how strangely the Fates have under
taken to manage his case for him.
While Jack was wrestling with a
fckle fortune in the silver mines of
Colorado, he received word through a
firm of solicitors in London that a
most extraordinary event had occur
red in the other branch of the family,
which resulted in his being made heir
to tremendous English property over
in the tight little island, besides the
honored address of Squire John Ira
vers.
1t chanced that Jack had made a
rich strike in the mines at about the
same time, SO that he was not very
eager to hurry across the big pond
and claim his new inheritance.
Finally, however, having put his af.
fairs in order, he accompanied the
lawyers to London.
There, for the first time he learned
Of a peculiar codicil to the will
through which he was to come into
possession OF the vast estate of the
Travers family.
The squire's part of 1t was incon.
testable, and that small portion of
the estate. about one-fifth, which had
been entailed, must come to him
through the natural law of next-of-kin,
Ikbut the great balance. an enormous
property, too, could only become his
own in case he married a certain
young woman--a distant relative Of
the testator, who cherished an affec-
ton for her-which affair must come
off within year.
Jack laughed aloud In scorn at the
idea.
He give up his freedom and take
for his wife girl whom he had never
seen before, in ordev to acquire GER
tain property! He would see the law
yers in very warm place. indeed, be.
fore he dreamed of such thing.
Finding expostulation vain from the
monetary point. since this young
chap already possessed fair fortune,
the shrewd lawyers of Chancery llne
changed their tactics.
They read him, and saw that, like
most Americans, he was chiva!rous
wherever womankind was concerned.
So they drew his attention to the
will again, and showed him that
should this marriage on which the tes-
tator had set his heart as means of
bringing the two transatlantic
branches of the family together again
fail to be consummated. the vast prop
erty was~to pass into the, hands Of
the Society for the Amelioration of
the Condition Of the Hottentots.
Having fastened HIS attention here.
they showed him over the noble es-
tate, and Jack really was quite smit-
ten with its charms.
Then the lawyers explained to him
that in case OF his refusal to carry
out the conditions OF the will, the
young woman would be left penniless,
even though it we're not her fault the
arrangement fell through.
Thus Jack was made to see what
depended on him. and how ungallant
il would be on his part to force this
state of poverty upon her.
Last of all, these shrewd legal gen.
tlemen gave him photograph of the
girl.
That completed the matter. The
more he scanned the picture of his
k'nswoman, Jessie Cameron. the deep
rr erew his conviction that 1t was
