feelings. All the easier and more natural would
his sternness, and if need be his cruelty, appear
To snap off the tie between herself and Wooster
suddenly, however, would be awkward and need
lessly severe. Moreover, the public must be con-
sidered. Already the topic of Aeens engagement
was the titbit most highly priced in score of
circles. Had circumstances been otherwise than
they were, how gladly he would have welcomed
the coupling of her with that of Nelson Woos-
teri Gossip had banded her name about, with
those of titled foreigners to be favored and in other
equally distastefu directions, till his choler had
been raised a dozen times.
No, he could not attack that engagement i'm
mediately; this the Major realized all too well.
A scandal a hint thereof, in connection with
his daughters would have driven him fairly
insane. He must do his work adroity quietly,
slowly. 1t CALLED him every time he heard of
another acquaintance who had learned of Aileen's
engagement; for it made the question more difficult
to handle. 1t burned in deeper still when he found
himself obliged to pretend that he and Mrs. Van
Twiller had known all about the affair from the
first, and had given their sanction to the match.
What to do except to wait, he could not decide.
Vaguely he meditated trip abroad, with his wife
and Aieen but the season was wrong, the motive
would be difficult of invention, and talk would be
certain to follow. Altogether he suffered little less
than Wooster himself.
Added to his anger over all the wretched business
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-07-02

was mystifcation which the Major
found battling and disquieting. Since
Wooster had not forced the safe to
take the diamonds, what manner of
motive could it have been that
urged him to a deed so base?
Mentally reviewing the whole affair,
as events had occurred that night
when he came upon Wooster in the
study, the Major suddenly thought
of something that started the per-
spiration from every pore in his body.
He became not only pale, but
weak. Why had he never thought
of this before? Why had forgetful-
ness SO allayed his suspicious?
Those papers!--those papers so
carefully hidden from the world!
Trembling, as if in an ague, the
man went at once to the somber box
of iron, and kneeling before it
fumbled the knob with his shaking
fingers till at length he shot the
bolt and swung open the ponderous
door. Then as swiftly as his
agitation would permit he inserted
the key in the inside lock and drew
out the drawer from which the dia-
monds had been taken that night
by his wife. With a frantic gesture
he felt in the small receptacle. 1t
was empty!
For moment the man felt his
heart cease its beating. He all but
sank to the floor. He looked in the
drawer wildly, unable to believe he
had not deceived himself. Not a
sign of an envelop was there He
tried to think. Was he sure he had
placed the papers there? He re-
called the coming of the missive
three months before-reca1led his
partial reading of its contents, his
sickening emotions, as its dreadful
truths had been presented to his
mind, his one blind desire to secrete
it from the world till certain affairs
should be settled and the thing
could be destroyed. How could a
mere three months lapse of time
have SO cheated his memory as to
let him forget this?
His weakness was well-nigh insup-
portable. This was what Wooster
had been after! This was what he
had takenl A theft of mere dia-
monds would have been as nothing.
compared with the taking of this
envelop and its contents. Gladly
would the Major have exchanged
every jewel and dollar he had in
the world for that mere bundle of
paper.

Wooster, Aileen, and even the Major
himself, felt the worry and fever of
its uncertainty throughout that night
and a part of the following day.
That Wooster could not return
to the house until occasion should
demand his presence, Allen was
aware. Denied the consolation of
his stronger mind, his assurance and
hope, she suffered doubly, knowing
so much of what must be taking
place in the mind of her father
What she had done had seemed the
only thing remaining to save her
lover from utter disgrace and shame.
How deeply she loved him she
was discovering swiftly during these
days of trouble. His courage had
won her heart again and again Her
one thought now was how to release
him from this dangerous entangle-
ment. But how to bring about such
an end was beyond her powers of
scheming. She had saved him from
threatened arrest; she had made
irretrievable that word to the world
of their relationship; but beyond
this quickly conceived and executed
ruse she was pOwerless to proceed.
That her father was brooding in
anger, shame and resentment over
the latest turn in the affair, could be
no secret from her watchful ewes
and her deeply affectionate heart.
She wrung her hands for her
father, for Nelson, for herself; but
the gesture and the thought behind
it were alike futile She had gone
to the limit of possibilities of aid,
she felt, either for them or herself,
when that game at the telephone
had been concluded.
Major Van Twiller, for his part,
had been baked SO abruptly, the
affair had come to its climax SO
poignantly, that his mind was not
a little stunned. To learn that a
man he thought thief, or traitor,
or both, was affianced to his only
daughter, that she loved the fellow
and wished the world to know of
her happiness, this had SO confused
and baffled his powers of thinking
and acting that he could not re-
cover in hours. He had not slept
a wink that night; he had settled
into fit of silence since, that only
Aileen could understand.
He had made up his mind at once,
however, that Aileens engagement N

CHAPTER VII.
HURING this time of uncertainty Nelson had
l. something to occupy his mind, at least.
The life of little Teddy Wrinkle hung evenly
balanced that only the tenderest care and the
sweetest encouragement suficed to persuade him
to come back to life Even then his improvement
slow to the last degree.
With no heart left in him for business, Wooster
spent his time at the bedside of his little companion
Nevertheless, he had ample opportunity to reflect
upon what already had occurred, and to speculate
on what still likely was to happen.
He had been almost much surprised as the
Major at Aileen's quick subterfuge to save the
situation at the time of that last peculiar inter
view. Her intent, however, had been clear to
him as it was to herself. His admiration for the
generosity and thoughtfulness of her deed
equaled alone by the hrmer love and confidence
he felt in all that she was.
But what could her father be expected to do now?
The affair had been rendered anything but simpler.
The Major believed him perhaps more despicable
than he had seemed before since man who would
first declare his love for and win Aileen, only to
turn about and commit burglary, treachery,

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
10 digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. III
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured>at once, but if you will
begin Yin time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
