thoughts He could not help feeling that
his presence was an embarrassment and
care to Alice Belding. 1t was evident
that she had a great friendship and re-
gard for him, which he had troubled and
disturbed by his fll-timed declaration.
She could no longer be easy
and natural with him; he ought
not to stay TO be an annoyance to
her. 1t was also clear that he could
not be himself IN her presence; she ex-
ercised too powerful an influence upon
him to make it possible that he could
go In and out OF the house as a mere
friend of the family. He was thus driven
to the thought which always lay so near
TO the surface with him. as with so
many OF his kind: he would exile him
self for a year OF two. and take him
self out OF, her way. The thought gave
him no content He could not escape a
keen pang of jealousy when he thought

~ inferior to her.
''I am inferior to her myself" he
thought, with genuine humility; but 7

than anyone else she Will ever be likely
20 meet"
BY and by he became aware that
something was perpleXing him, which
was floating somewhere below the sur
face of his consciousness. A thousand
thoughts. more or less puzzling. had
arisen. and been disposed of during the
hour that had elasped since he left Mrs.
Belongs. But still he began to be
sure that there was one groping for
recognition which as yet he had not
recognized. The more he dweIt upon it,
the more it seemed to attach itself TO
the song Alice had sung. but he could
not give II any definiteness. After lie
had gone to bed. this underlined impress
sion of something significant attaching
itself to the song besieged him. and wor-
rled him with tantalizing glimpses. until
he went to sleep.
But Farnham was not a dreamer, and
the morning. if It brought little COM
fort, brought at least decision. He made
up his mind while dressing that he
would sail by an early steamer for
Japan. He sent a telegram TO San
Francisco. as soon as he had break
tasted. to inquire about accommoda-
tions. and busied himself during the day
with arranging odds and ends of his af-
fairs. Coming and going was easy TO
him. as he rarely speculated and never
touched anything involving anxious
risks. But in the afternoon an irresist-
ible longing impelled him to the house
of his neighbOr.
why should I not allow myself this
induIgence?" he thought 1T Will be

All day the song had been haunting

itself. but because it vaguely reminded

tihed with an eye single to that pur-
pose. She was perhaps a triffe too zeal
Ous-even the attorney for the defense
bit his lip occasionally at her dashing
Introduction of wholly irrelevant mat
ter in Sleeny's favor But she was
throughout true to herself also, and
never gave the least intimation that
Ohitt had any right to consider himself
a favored suitor. Perhaps she had at
tained the talent so common in more
sophisticated circles than any with
which she was familiar. of forgetting
all entanglements which It is not con-
venient to remember, and of facing a
discarded lover with a visage of insolent
unconcern and heart unstirred by a
memory.
The result Of It all was, of course,
that Sleeny was acquitted, though It
came about in a way which may be
worth recording. The jury found a YER
dict Of 'Justihable homicide" upon
which the Judge very properly sent them
back to their room. as the verdict was
fatty against the law and the evidence.
They retired again. with stolid and un-
abashed patience, and soon reappeared
with a verdict OF acquittal. on the ground
OF emotional insanity" But this re-
markable jury determined to do nothing
by halves. and fearing that the reputa-
ton Of being queer might injure Sam in
his business prospects. added TO their
verdict these thoughtful and consider

record, 10 the lesting honor and glory
OF our system OF trial by jury:
And We hereby state that the pris-
oner was perfectly sane up TO the mo-
ment he committed the rash act IN
question, and perfectly sane the mo-
ment after, and that, in our opinion.
there is no probability that the malady
will ever recur."
After this memorab BILE deliverance. Sam
shook hands cordially and sravely with
each OF the Judicious jurymen. and then
turned to where Maud was waiting for
him. with a rosy and happy face. and a
sparkling eye. They walked slowly
homeward together through the falling
shadows.
Their lives were henceforth bound to-
gether for good or evil. We may not
say how much of good or how much of
evil was TO be expected from a wedlocII
between two natures so ill-regulated and
unframed, where the woman brought in
TO the partnership the wreck of ignoble
ambitions and the man the memory Of
crime.

never tried to instill into your mind
that mOney-getting and money-keep-
Ing were the chief end of man. I
have rather been inclined to let you
work out your financial salvation
along your own lines, especially as
my views on this subject are not
strictly orthodox.
But the business of piling up dol
lars just for the pleasure Of looking
at the pile. and the task Of securing
enough OF the same dollars to pro
vide the necessities and some Of the
Injuries of ones self and ones fam
ily. with a margin for emergencies,
are two entirely different PROPOSE
tions. A man isn't much Of a man
who doesn't look after his own to
the very best of his ability, and,
moralize as we will, there's no get
ting around the fact that money is
to a certain extent the basis Of hap
Piness in our stage of civilization
The bliss Of poverty and the joys Of
the simple life are all very we'll in
poetry and philosophy, but when you
come to hitching EN- up to practical
everyday life they won't work out to
suit us. A dry axle squeaks for oil,
and poverty, instead of singing
gladsome roundelays, hollers for
help. We can't be happy unless we
are comfortable. and our ideas OF
comfort nowadays are such that
nothing but money viii provide it.
We must have bread and butter, and
some Of us insist upon cake. We
must have good homes and warm
beds and presentable clothes. We
must have books and newspapers
and cigars and chocolate sundaes,
and we've got to have money to buy
'em unless we can get the fellow to
charge It.
And this brings me around to the
main point that l want to push into
your eerebelIum. The moment you
begin to spend money you haven't
got you enter on the road TO trouble.
