shanty near Pickens, built especial
" for him after his removal to that
place by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company a few months
ago, and his death occurred there.
1t will be remembered he left
iIzIE1kins to go to leper colony IN
New York but was discovered and
elected from the train and later
captured at Keyser. The railroad
company shipped him east in box
car but he was not allowed to enter
philadelphia and was sent back to
Baltimore. where he was housed IN
the box car a. number of days, until
one night the Maryland health au-
fhorities placed him secretly in the
Testibule of a coach of No. 3 and
he was taken through here to Park
ersburg, where the Baltimore q
Ohio Southwestern refused to re-
ceive the trim until after his re-
rnoval He was kept under = shade

c1Iated freely on the streets Of
Pickens. was assaulted and later
shot nj several times at the shanty
He concluded it would be well for
him to leave and did so. Another
nurse took charge of the leper and
was with him, when he died.

CHAPTER XX.

~ IR JOHN MEREDITH was sit.
 ting stifiiy in a straight backed
 chair by his library fire In ~ his young days men didn't loll fin deep chairs, with their knees higher than their heads. There were no such chairs in this library, just as there was no afternoon tea except for ladies. Sir John Meredith was distressed to observe a great many signs of the de generation of manhood. which he at tributed to the indulgence in afternoon tea. Sir John had lately noticed an other degeneration-name in the quality of the London gas. So seri- ous was this falling of that he had taken 10 a lamp in the evening. which lamp stood on the table at his elbow.
 There was nothing dismal or lonely nbout this old man. sitting in evening dress in a high backed chair. stifily reading a scientific book of the mod ern. cheap science tenOr-nOt written for scientists. but to step in when the brain is weary of novels and afraid of communing with itself. Oh. no. A gentleman need never be dull He has his necessary occupations. If he Is a man of intellect se need never be Idle. IL is an occupation to keep up with the times.
 He paused in the midst of a scien- fife definition and looked up with lis tenfng eyes. He had got into the way of listening to the passing wheels. Lady Cant0urre sometimes called for him on her way tO a festivity. but fl was not that
 The wheels be heard had stopped. Perhaps it was Lady CautOurne. but he dId uai think so. She drove behind q pair. and ffis was not a pair.
 A few minutes later the butler si- Ienfly fhrpv UF-en tbe door. and Jack stood On the threshold. Sir John Mere dith's son had been given back to hsn frozn ths Eztes Of death.
 The son. Ise tlie father. was in i'm rlzeuIste eveuine dress. There was . rery saisBe cyulcfsra in tie thyuzaf or turning sSsse ssn s7rh a retu-n ss this ts drp@-to t5e a careful white te aDd b-ash iuVs-cepiibiy rafEei hair.

doing so-'life Is too short 10 quarrel with ones father. At least 1t may prove too short to make 1t up again that is the danger"
 "The quarrel was not mine," he said. q admit that I ought to have known him better. I ought to have spoken to him before asking Millicent. It was . mistake"
 Lady Cantourne looked up suddenly.
 "What was mistake?"
 "Not asking his-opinion first"
 She turned to the table where his letter lay and fingered the paper pen sively.
 "I thought, perhaps, that you had found that the other was O mistake the engagement"
 "No," he answered.
 ''Millicent will be in presently" she said: "she is out riding"
 They talked of his life in Africa, of his success with the simiacine, of which discovery the newspapers were not yet weary, until the bell was heard in the basement, and thereafter Millicent's voice fin the hall.
 Lady Cantourne rose deliberately and went downstairs to tell her niece that he was in the drawing room, leaving him there waiting alone.
 Presently the door opened and MIlli. cent hurried fin. She threw her gloves and whip-anywhere-on the floor and ran to him.
 "Oh, Jackr' she cried.
 It was very prettily done. Tn its way 1t was a poem.
 And. Jack. do you know," she went on. "all the newspapers have been full of you. You are quite a celebrity. And are you really as rich as they sayf"
 T think I can safely say that I am not" he answered.
 Lady Cantourne left them there for nearly an hour. in which space of time she probably reflected they could build up as rry a future as was good for them to contemplate. Then she re- turned to the drawing room. followed by A full sized footman bearing tea.
 She was too discreet a woman. too deeply verscd in the sudden changes of the human mind and heart. to say any thing until o.s of them should give her q distinct lead. They were not shy and awkward children Per~aps she reflected that the generation to which they belonged is not one heavily hantE capped by foo subtle a deIicacy of feeling.
 Jaek Meredith gave her the lead be- fore long.
