Through the Heart.

It lacked several minutes of the
hour fixed for dinner when Blake
strolled through the hotel safe and
thence into the lobby. The babble Of
voices, the gesticulations and the
nervous energy which pervaded the
atmosphere were not in harmony
with Blake's feelings.

less than a day had passed since
he had resolved to surrender all hope
for the love Of Jessie Garden. Why
had he done SO? James Blake could
not answer that question, He had
not calmly weighed his chances of
success against those of failure.
Like a flash it dawned upon him
that he could not-that he must not
be disloyal to John Burt. He did not
reason it Quit was told to him in
that voiceless, wordless language
which has no name or key.
You must not imagine he said
that your father is under the slight

The stock which he held was the key
to the situation. Without it we could
have done nothing We have simply
been able to verify the generals con-
fidence in its value, and he is the one
to be congratulated on the outcome"
II don't believe a word you say"
replied Jessie Garden, laughing. I'm
not so stupid about these Wall street
affairs as you imagine. If it had not
been for you, Mr.. Morris would have
defrauded pap out of all his property"

Both accepted the invitation For
some moments after Mr.. Hawkins had
left no word was spoken between John
Burt and James Blake Each was
busy with his thoughts, but John broke
the silence.
when is Miss Garden expected to
return?" he asked, quietly.
I'll try to find out tonight" said
Blake, looking his partner full in the
eyes. my head has been so full of
stocks that I've thought of nothing
else. But I'll know all about it, John,
before | meet you and Hawkins at
dinner. Perhaps Jessie-or rather,
Miss Carden-is back now. Who
knows? This Is your lucky day, old
fellow, and all kinds of things may
happen before midnight Wouldn't it
be great if | went up to the Bishop
house and found her there? OF course
i wouldn't say word to spoil the sur
prise you have planned. Well must
be going. Hope I'll have good news
ici you " HCu SSS JOu ldltl.
Early in the evening Blake rang the
bell of the Bishop mansion, and was
greeted by General Garden.
ut is a pleasure, General Garden,
to tender you this check, which rep
resents your share of the profits.
Don't say a word of thanks to me, for
| do not deserve any credit. Is Miss
Garden at home, and may | see her
for mOment?"
'She will be delighted to see you.
| will call her"
The general disappeared, and James
Blake lay back in his chair, with his
eyes fixed on the portrait of Jessie
Garden.
He heard the faint rustic of gar
ment and turned to see Jessie Garden
as she entered the room. A tender
light glowed in her brown eyes, but
there was something wistful in the
smile; a blending of happiness, re-
straint and pity. The eyes dropped
for moment as they met his frank
gaze, but her voice was clear and

| me" said Blake, changing the subject.
It's about that portrait. The first
time | ever met Arthur Morris | saw
your portrait in his library room. 1t
has always puzzled me. Some time
I'll tell you why"
My portrait in Mr.. Morris room!'
exclaimed Jessie, the color mounting
to her cheeks. Surely you are jest
ing, Mr.. Blake."
1T was probably copy, though he
told me it was the original" replied
Blake. He said you had it painted
for him in Berlin, and that you pre-
sented it to him. The first time
came here | saw this one and thought
it remarkable coincidence.
There is no mystery about it, said
Jessie, her eyes flashing with anger.
Mr.. Morris saw fit to take advantage
of papa's bankruptcy, which gave him
possession of our Boston residence.
This portrait hung on it's walls, and he
doubtless had copy made from it..
This is consistent with other acts
from which we have suffered at his
hands. /"
The portieres parted and Edith
Hancock entered the room. Her eyes
rested first on Blake and then on
Jessie.
Pardon this intrusion" she said.
81 am looking for book and did not
know that any one was here. You
are to be congratulated, Mr.. Blake;
doubly congratulated"
There was tremor in the voice,
but proud flash of the lovely eyes as
Edith bowed slightly, and, brushing
the portieres aside, left the room.
Don't go, Edith" cried Jessie.
There was no response, and Jessie
was too wise to follow her fair cous-
in. For some moments no words were
spoken.
Il am going to tell you the story of
that portrait" said Jessie. The Grim
son touched her cheeks and a light,
such as Blake had never seen, was in
her eyes. do you remember what
you said last night? You said that

COlLIDED WITH SEA COW.
Pleasure Party in Boat Disturbed Crea-
ture at Feeding.


Tuesday morning L. D. Pitcher and
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles S. Rieman, started in their
row and sailing boat Lulu for the inlet
with a favorable northwest wind and
were sailing along nicely, rounding
Bethune Point mile south of town,
when there was a very sudden and
violent collision with large sea COW,
which the boat must have struck
crosswse about in the middle.
1t was feeding on the bottom in
about five feet of water and it is need
less to say that it was probably as
much surprised as were the occu-
pants of the boat, as it made a great
commotion, lifting the front end Of
the boat out of the water and throw
ing several pals of water into the
boat with it's broad fiat tail, and thor
oughly wetting the occupants, but
otherwise there was no damage done
and they were very glad that the boat
was not upset and they spilled out in
the water
The COW is timid and harmless, but
very large and powerful. 1t seems
that point is favOrite feeding ground
for them and they can be seen there

She opened an album and handed
it to him. On one page was the
faded duplicate of the photograph
from which had been painted the por-
trait he had seen so often in John
Burt's study room in San Francisco.
Opposite it was photograph of John
Burt. The album opened naturally to
these pages-sure proof that certain
white fingers had sought them out
many, many times.

pictures were taken. 1t was a glori-

The lcelanders have a strange but
effective plan for preventing horses
straying from any particular spot. If
two gentlemen happen to be riding
without attendants, and wish to leave
their horses for any reason, they tie
the head of one horse to the tail of
another, and the head of this to the
tail of the former In this state it is
utterly impossible for the horses to
move on, either backwards or for
wards. If disposed to move at all. it
will be only in circle, and even then
there must be mutual agreement to
turn their heads the same way.
