Lester became abject.
Edith, he began.

Il was jealous" he said. "Oh, my
dearest, forgive mel was jealous!"
"Jea1ousl" exclaimed Edith, with
scornfu1 indignation " am not house
maid, DR.. Lester to walk out with this
man to-day and that tomorrow. | am
glad l have learned in good time the sort
of estimation in which you hold me.
In time?"
Yes, in time. Jealous!"
Well" said Lester miserab1y, "Mr.
Angler unfortunately CHANGED to tell
me it would be an ideal way of settling
the difficulty about Lord Arncliffe's
money; and Bradshaw had your arm in
his, d-and-you were laughing.
Terrible crimes! gave my arm to
l won't detain you any longer, DR..
Lester" She moved toward the door
with graceful dignity.
Lester, hopeless despair in his eyes,
stepped forward mechanically to open
it for her. Then by instinct he did what
he ought to have done at the beginning
of the interview-he took her in his arms,
resist she never SO strenuously, kissed
the determined little mouth until it
quivered into weakness and her cheeks
challenged its scarlet.
"Oh!" she gasped. "Ohl Pleased"
my little grill"
But l don't love you any morel"
emphasizing the fact by slipping a soft
arm round his neck.
Have you forgiven me, darling?"

acres of Arnc1iffe, and the sight Of the
rolling meadows and noble woods brought
back to him all the old question of dis
parity Before, at least, she was under
a cloud. and he could offer her something
of protection. But now
So he built up narrowing picture of
himself dying in an African swamp with
her dear name upon his lips, and in the
midst of this pleasing REVERE, which
lasted for perhaps ten minutes, he
was interrupted by the voice of Brad
shaw.
There you are, Miss Holt. Behold
him, safe and soundl Had nasty
smack on the head, but 1 understand the
great British people have remarkably
thick skulls. Good-by! I'll see you
later"
Edith, 1ured into the room on
utterly false pretenses, stood spellbound
at the sight of Lester, on whose be-
half she had been suffering agonies OF
anxiety.
Lester, taken off his guard, bowed
stih1y. How do you dor" he said.
"Oh-how do you do?" answered
Edith with equal formality. She felt
something of the instinct which prompts
a mother to slap her child because he has
just escaped being run over. She had
eyed him too, surreptitiously, and was
indignant to see that he looked well and
strong as ever.
Lester stole a glance at her. The
little red gold head was poised haughtily,
and the scarlet flower of a mouth was
shut tight as a poppy at nightfall
And 10! as Miss Phyllis predicted, DIR.

IKE other masters or the art.
He said this so solemnly that Edith,
a little lacking in the sense of humor,
looked at him doubtfully Then she
saw light. But you would not take
any of Lord Arncliffe's money!" she
cried triumphantly.
Why no, | don't value any money
unless l earn it. And, to tell you the
truth, | have rather more than | know
what to do with, anyway. If you like,
l will give free library to Arncliffe
Or" he added, "if Dr. Lester intends
to practise here / might endow Gem
etery."
You are horrid man." cried Edith
with mock indignation, and | am glad
Reggie won't be under your influence
any longer"
Why" exclaimed young Holt. aghast.
you are not going to get rid of me, Mr..
Bradshaw"
1T is not that" interrupted Edith
"Of course you cannot remain clerk
under present circumstances. If you
would like to go into the army"
The army!" cried Reggie, with an
emphatic sniff, for he had imbbed much
of the American spirit in short period.
l mean to work, and | am going back
to New-York just as soon as you are
comfortably fixed"
And later Edith realized that her
brother was right. Only in work and
endeavor lay redemption of the past
and salvation for the future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Angler were sitting in a
Widowed recess in the entrance hall
listening to the seemingly artless prattle
of Miss Harland, when Edith and the
rest came up. Lester and Phyllis had
not, of course, met. Indeed he was I'm
aware of her presence at the Hall, and
hence he naturally regarded the dainty
little beauty with some curiosity.
Phyllis also was interested in the man
who had caused her bosom friend SO
many heartburnings Just as | saidl'
she commented to herself. "A nasty
square jaw and mouth like a rat-trap.
| should like to punish him
Phyllis had only one way of Furnishing
a man. To Bradshaw's unutterable in
dignation, she left her hand in Testers
for full ten seconds, gazing up at him
the while with big trustful eyes that had
in them suspicion of naive admiration.
Men are only human, and Lester re-
garded this welcome as a natural tribute
to his manly excellence.
Meanwhile Edith lost no detail of the
pretty little scene. Perhaps the u1ti-
mate results of Miss Harland's firtatious
habits might have been disastrous but
for the intervention of lucky chance.
After giving Lester a full discharge from
her optical battery, Phyllis averted her
eyes in shy confusion, as was her usual
custom, and the first person they fell
upon was Bradshaw.
Good graciousl His jaw was square
too, and if Testers mouth was like a rat
trap it seemed to her terrified imagin-
alton that here was trap equal to holding
a lion. William Lincoln Bradshaw was
madly in love. In days to come he would,
if need be, toll year in and year out in the
inferno of NewYork' S climate for the dol
lars his wife would fritter away at Paris or
Monte Carlo. But he would stand no
nonsense, now or then.
Thus it was that presently, when they
stood a little apart from the rest, he spoke

in serious difficulties with the door
handle, entered the room
Sorry to interrupt you," he said,
looking mercilessly at Edith's rosy
cheeks, but Brading is anxious to see
you both in the main hall. | told you,
Miss Holt, to expect developments, and
although any sort of scene must be I'M
pleasant for you, | am sure you will
welcome anything which puts an end
to the strain of the last few weeks. Be-
sides that, | have little surprise of my
own for you.
Il shall indeed welcome an end to all
these bewilderments and outrages," was
the reply. Il hope, however, that your
surprise is going to be pleasant one?"
Pretty good, l think"
In one of the corridors they encoun-
tered Mrs Warren, and it seemed to
Bradshaw that for a fraction of a second
her cheeks paled at the sight of Lester.
But her step remained SO firm and her
voice so unbroken that he told himself
he must be mistaken.
"Good-day, Dr. Lester" she said. Il
am glad to see you safe and well. We
were beginning to fear that you were
fated to add another to the mysteries
of Arncliffe." She passed on, with
jingle of her keys.
Bradshaw looked after her curiously.
"Have you talked to Mrs. Warren about
Testers disappearance" he asked Edith.
Certainly not"
"Ah!" he said to himself, a s1ipi
She knows the whole business. Well,
am sorry for the poor woman"
Arncliffe Hall was SO extensive that
ere they had covered half their journey
Edith was asking Bradshaw coaxingly
what his surprise was.
Patience is virtue" he said, with
smile. But he broke out: You won't
have to wait. Here comes the surprise,
right in front of you'll"
Edith looked up, and then with
shrek of "Reggie!" flung herself into the
arms Of handsome youth with
delighted abandon which made Les
ters blood run cold, until the like
ness helped him to realize that this was
the brother of whom Edith had told
him.
You dear, bad boyl Why didn't
ceive my letter? Of course not
| Lnere mas nOL Deen ll1ne why ulu
you Gomez" And she asked SO many
questions in breath that the new
conner had no chance to answer anyone
of them.
"Cabled him to come over" explained
Bradshaw tersely, when order was at
length restored
But how did you know" asked
| Edith in utter establishment.

The Army and Navy Journal OF
April says:
Among those who hold that the next
great struggle for commercial and
naval supremacy will be a rivalry for
the mastery OF the Pacific must be
added NJ. Rene Pinon, a prominent
French writer, who, in an article trans
lated by the Journal of the Royal Unit
ed Service Institution of Great Britain,
calls attention to the steady advance of
American influence on the Western
ocean. The acquisition of Hawaii, the
possession Of the finest harbor in Sa-
moa. the annexation of the Philippines
Guam and Midway Island and the de-
velopment of a trans Pacific cable sys-
tenn all combine. says NJ. Pinon, to
foreshow American predominance in
those waters. a situation which he
AIDES, will be immensely strengthened
by the completion of the Panama
Canal. AS for the French possession of
Tahiti, he goes on to say, it is in the
center of the Pacific on the highway
from San Francisco and Panama to
New Zealand and Australia, a position
which renders it almost indispensable
to the power claiming supremacy in the
great ocean, and it behooves France to
see that it does not fall into American
hands," Great indeed" says NJ. Pinon

KlNGMAN IS GROWING.
The CatttIsmew Convention and Race
PROCLAIM Were Interesting.

TwentY-three years in Kansas, and
still we saw our first roping and
broncho busting contest at Kingman
Friday. 1t was rather amusing. and
was one contest that We were glad 10
have no chips 10. The contestants
rode some pretty bad bronchos, and
out of about a dozen only one was
thrown, and he managed to come over
horses head and light on his feet.
The ropiDg was rather exciting, and
created a great deal OF amusement.
About twenty five men participated
and some very fast work was done.
A steer was given about 200 feet the
start, then the contestant would take
after him, rope, throw him, and tie
lin in the quickest possible time.
Some made fiat failures, but the
majority ranged from 4Oto 60 seconds.
The fastest time was made 10 365
seconds. Thetraining Of the horses in
this work is something that is to be
admired. When a steer is roped
then horse has to swing and throw
the steer and pull until the rider has
him tied. From the time the rider
diSmounts until be ties the action of
the horse is almost with human intel
ligence.
A good string Of races had been
pulled off earlier in the week.
Anthony won the dieding game
of base ball from Clearwater by a
score of 3 to 0.
The Riley Amusement Company
was present and gave chariot race,
Standing race, and running race. In
the latter one horse was ridden by a
monkey.
The attendance was good, and the
town was jammed full Of people.
KiDgman, like all western towns,
is enjoying a good growth. Local
capitalists are just completing a 500
