CHAPTER xxx.
Edith's Confession.


"The papers say Mr. Morris will be
arrested. It's awful. Jessie. Look at
the big headlinesl Isn't it awful?"
Edith Hancock's cheeks were red
dened with excitement as she dashed
into her cousins room. "Mr. Blake
was here while the general was at
breakfast" she gabbled on, breath
lessly. "They talked a minute and
then he hurried away. Isn't Mr.. Blake
lovely? And he's so big and hand
some, and generous, and good-looking,
and manly, and-and everything. |
just love him Jessie, don't you?" She
looked closely at Jessie Garden.
Il like him, Edith. 1t wouldn't
do for both of us to love him, would it,
cousin mine?"
He loves you" protested Edith,
with a blush. Il know he does. Are
you sure you don't love him, Jessie,
just a little bit?"
quite sure" laughed Jessie, as the
roses came to her cheeks. Il can only
love one man at time-it's conven-
tional, but it's true"
You still love John Burt? What
foolish little sweetheart you are, vast
ing your life on man you haven't
heard from for years. You're testing,
Jessie; don't reject Mr.. Blake"
Its not likely l shall have a
chance" said Jessie. The little face
had grown very serious. 81 sincerely
hope not, Edith. John Burt is not
dead, and he has not forgotten me.
He will return, and, rich or poor, my
faith is in him. l know he'll come
back, and when he does he'll find me
true"
There was a trustful light in the
deep brown eyes and longing smile
touched the tender lips. Edith's face
was lighted with joy as she clasped
her cousins hands.
you're the dearest darling in the
world, and no man is good enough for
you," she exclaimed. John Burt

control Cosmopolitan and am able to
protect it against all the liars and
swindlers from San Francisco to New
York.
Cosmopolitan opened at loss of
several points, but the selling by
Blake brokers was not so heavy as
had been expected, and the stock raj
lied when given support by Morris
and others interested with him. The
young millionaire speedily regained
his courage.
Bid 'em up; bid 'em up," he whis-
pered to his head broker We've got
the Blake crowd on the run already,
They dare not sell. Take all they
offer and bid for morei"
1t was only a moment past ten
o'clock when General Garden walked
briskly up the marble steps and en-
tered the Morris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
Mr.. Mason, the Vice-President of the
company.
Il hold an option on ten thousand
shares of L. & o. stock" said the gen.
eral. producing an envelope from an
inside pocket.
"Yes?" Mr.. Mason raised his eyes
with a faint show of interest, and
tapped the brass rail with a pencil.
$50 | understand, General Garden"
Under its terms l can take up the
stock at stipulated figure, provided
the market price is above twenty-six
dollars a share.
That is the agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock, Cen
eral Garden. Do you wish to pay it
to-day"
sarcastic smile played around the
corners of Mr.. Masons mouth.
Il do. | demand the stock and will
meet the terms in cash.
Very well. General Garden, it can
quickly be arranged"
There was no change of expression
on the grave face of the banker as
he turned to a clerk and ordered him
to produce the stock from the vaults.

John Burt was in his Office at eight
o'clock, and Mr.. Hawkins and James
SIS General Garden here?" asked
John.

"Giye him the cash for that l.. & o.

ing business" instructed John Burt.

along with him. That will prevent
any chance for a bubble When he
comes back with the stock, turn it
over to me-"
AYE, aye, General Burton." ex-
claimed Blake with a profound sa-
lutte. He seemed in high spirits as
he left the room.
Let us look in ON another scene.
There was no outward sign of ex-
element in the offices of Randolph
Morris & Company. Morris took per-
sonal command of his brokers on the
floor of the Stock Exchange.
1T won't be much of shower" he
said to his followers, with airy bra
vadp. Hang on to your stocks;
we'll pass those ordinances yet.

ExcLUsIvENEss AS A FAULT.
Mans Weakness in Separation from
Rest of His Kind.

A man is but cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut OF from his
fellows. Their is something in the
solidarity Of the human race which
cannot be accounted for in the sum
total of all the individuals. Separa-
tion from the mass involves a mighty
Hoss of power in the individual, just
as there is loss Of cohesion and ad-
hesion involved in the separation OF
the molecules and atoms of the dia-
mond. The value of the gem is in the
close contact, the compactness, and
the concentration Of the particles
which compose it. The moment they
are separated its value is gone. So
q strong, effective man gets large
part of his strength from the vital
connection with his fellows.-Success

A curious bit of English history is
preserved in the word 'tawdry. IL
acquired its present meaning from
the phrase "tawdry laces" a corrup'

Audreys fair, which was the same as
st. Ethelreda's fair. Ethelreda was
queen of Northumberland and appess

Of course, if you do not buy at at our store, we cannot be held re sponsible for the quality. Then again there are other drinks which are just as injurious as Brain'O, Insane'O or any other sweepings'O.

Well, as we see this sort of thing day after day, why not begin the New Year 1906 by Swearing off drinking anything only good, Rice-tasting tea or coffee and let us say right here that we guarantee the quality we sell to be the best in the city for the price. If you are not using our quality. just ask your neighbor or relatives what they think of what we sell. There are some of them drinking 1t because we are selling it in all parts of the city and we find our patrons are always satisfied and why not let us do you some good. All we ask is a trial.
