There was sudden silence between

sound Of stringed instruments and
minstrel songs. II was the last day OF

Well, everything must have its ap-

neston, little sententiously.
The girl. who was seated by his side on
the deck OF the house boat Glow worm,
looked up al him with a strange light in
her deep brown eyes
Shall you be sorry2" she asked In a
sweet rich voice.
" Yes, / shall be sorry" he answered

Miss Basset read the clippings with
wondering eyes They briefly related
police court proceedings which Arneston
had brought against an impudent scoun-
drel who had passed himself off under
that name with the purpose Of obtaining
credit.
Miss Basset went back 10 the city by an
early train the following morning. She
had hoped 10 be alone. but just as the train
was on the move the door was opened
hastily. and Arueston jumped in.

Everybody noticed how quiet and pale
Miss Basset was al supper, and many
wondered what had become Of Arneston.
When she reached her own little bedroom
in the Glow-wOrm she found a letter
waiting for her.
Two or three newspaper cuttings fiut-
tered out Of IL. She read the brief note:

referred again and again
to the fires and TO the ne

enough before the bank,
and there Mr.. Orthman,
also quite naturally,asked
us in. We went through
the outer office and into
his private room.
1t was a bitterly cold
day. There was an east
