 At last the vexatious work was fin- ished. and he was free again. At. the end of the final days work he left the ofice of Fouts in Wall street, and walked up Broadway. He went slow ly. enjoying the freedom from care. It was the afternoon of day when the first summer heat had been felt and as he loltered before shop windows or walked slowly through that stree. where all move quickly and most very hurriedly. a welcome little breeze came up from the bay to fan bim and en- encourage his spirit of leisure.

CHAPTEE XXNll.
 THE DEPARTURE OF UNCLE PETER.
 The Bineses, with the exception or Psyche, were at breakfast a week later. Miss Zines had been missing since the day that MT. and Mrs. Cecil c. H. Mau- burn had left for Montana City to put the Zines home in order
 Uncle Peter and Mrs. Zines had now determined to go, leaving Percival to follow when he had closed his busi- ness affairs.
 "It's like starting west again to make our fortune" said Uncle Peter. He had suffered himself to regain something of his old cheerfulness of manner.
 q wish you two would wait unlil they can get .ne car here, and go back with me-" said Percival. We can go back i1 style even if we didn't save much more than a getaway stake.
 But his persuasions were unavailirg.
 q can't stand it another day. said Mrs. Zines, and those letters keep coming in from poor suffering people that haven't heard the news.'
 "I'm too restless to stay" declared Uncle Peter. ''I declare, with spring all greenin' up this way I'd be found campin' up in Central park some night and took off to the calaboose. just got to get out again where you can feel the wind blow and see hundred miles and don't have to dodge horse less horse cars every minute. It's a wonder one of 'em ain't got me in this town. You come on in the car, and do the style fur the family. One of them common Pullmans is good enough fur Marthy and me. And besides, I got to get Billy Brue back. He's goin' plumb daft lookin' night and day fur that man that got his $3O and his breast pi He says there'll be an ambulance backed up at the spot where he mee 8 him-makes no difference If it's right on Fifth avenue. Billy's kind of near sighted at that, so I'm mortal afra d he'll make mistake one of these nights and take some honest mans money and trinkets away from him."
 Percival saw them to the train.
 "Take care of yourself" said Uncle Peter at parting. "You know l ain't any good any more, and you got a whole family, includin' an Englishman, dependin' on you-we'll throw h m on the town, though, if he don't take out his first papers the minute get there" :"
 His last shot from the rear platform was: Change your name back to Pete, son, when. you get west of Chicago. Faint anything fancy, but it's crack in good business name fur hus lsr!"
 "All right. Uncle Peter-and hope I'll have a grandson that thinks as much of 1t as I do of yours."
 When they had gone. he went back to the work of final adjustment. He

 Tho accepted lover looked Miss M brey over with rather complac air-with the unrufned confdence assured possession. Percival flnd there was look almost of regret the girls eyes.
 "I'm afraid" said Sheplsr, 'yodNy aunt doesn't want to be kept waitings And she's already in fever for Aear you won't prefer the necklace she in- sists you ought to prefer"
 "Tell Aunt Cornelia, please, that ! shall be along in just moment"
 She's quite impatient, you know" urged shepler.
 Percival extended his hand.
 "Good-by, Miss Milbrey. Don't let me detain you. Sorry I shall not see you again."
 She gave him her hand uncertainty, as If she had still something to say, but could find no words for 1t.
 "Good-by, MT. Bines."
 "Good-by, young man." Sheplef shook hands with him cordially, land the best of luck to you out there. I shall hope to hear good reports from you. And mind, you're to look us up when you're in town again. We shall always be glad to see you Good-by.'
 He led the girl back to the case where the largest diamonds reposed chastely on their touches of royal vel- vet.
 Percival smiled as he resumed his walk-smiled with all that bitter cyn- icism which only youth may feel to its full poignance Yet, heartless as she was, he recalled that while she talked to him he had imprinted an imagin- ary kiss deliberately upon her full scar let lips. And now, too, he was forced to confess that, in spite of his very certain knowledge about her, he would actually prefer to have communicated it through the recognized physical media. He laughed again, more cheer fully.
 "The sprping has gotten strangle- hold on my judgment" he said to him- self.

Milbrey, alight from g victoria and enter jewellers.
 He would have passed on, but Miss Milbrey had seen him and stood wait ing in the doorway, while Shepler and Mrs. Van Geist went on into the store.
 "Mr. Bines-I'm 50 glad!" She stood, flushed with pleasure, radiant in stuff of fllmy pink, with lit tie lecks at her throat and waist of the first tender green of new leaves. She was unanectedly delighted to sec him.
 You are Miss Spring?" he said when she had given him her hand land you've come into all your mother had that was worth inheriting, haven't you?"
 MT. Zines, shall we not see you now? wanted so much to talk with you when I heard everything. Would 1t be impertinent to say sympathized wi.h you?"
 He looked over her shoulder in where Shepler and Mrs. Van Geist were inspecting tray of jewels. "Of course not impertinent-yery kind--only I'm really not in need of any sympathy at all. You won't un- derstand it; but we don't care so much for money in the west--for the loss of it-not so much as you New Workers would. Besides, we can always make plenty more."
 The situation was, emphatically, not as he had so often dreamed it when she should marvel perhaps regretful- ly, over his superiority to her husband as money-maker. His only relief was to belittle the importance of his loss.
 "Of course, we've lost everything, al- most-but I've not been bit downcast about 1t. There's more where it came from, and no end of fun going after 1t. I'm looking forward to the adven- lures, can tell you. And every one will be glad to see me there; they won't think the less of me, assure you, because I've made duke hsie!"
 Surely, MT. Zines, no one here could think less of you. Indeed, think more of you. I think it's fine and big to go back with such courage. Do you know, wish I were man-I'd show them!"
 Really, Miss MilbreyR
 He looked over her shoulder again, and saw that Shepler was waiting for her.
 q think your friends are impatient" /"
 "They can wait. MT. Zines, won der if you have quite correct idea of all New York people,"
 Probably not; I've met so few, you know" Well, of course-but of those you've met" "You can't know what my ideas are" !"
 q wish we might have talked more I'm sure-when are you leaving?"
 T shall leave tomorrow" l "And we're leaving for the country ourselves. Papa and mamma go to- morrow-and. MT. Zines, should have liked another talk with you-I wish we were dining at the Oldakers' again"
 He observed Shepler strolling toward them.
 "I shall be staying with Aunt Cor nelia few days after tomorrow"
 Shepler came up.
 "And shall be leaving tomorrow, | Miss Milbrey."

King Christian was one of the greatest anti-race-suicide enthusiasts who ever lived. He had no use for bachelors. Everybody over 30 years old he besought to get married.

all right. You folks have your uses. I ain't like one of these crazy fools that thinks you're rascals and all like that; but my point is that you don't get the fun out of life. You don't get the big feelin's. Out in the west they're the flesh and blood and bone: and you people here, meanin' no disre- speot-you're the dimples and wrinkles and-the warts.

 That's excellent. Now, MT. Bines, like him and dare say you've done the best thing for him, unusual as 1t was, But don't grind him. Might 1t not be well to ease up little after he's out there? You might let it be under stood that I am willing to finance any of those propositions there liberally-"
 "No, no-that ain't the way to han de him. Say, don't expect to quit cussin' him fur another 30 days yet. l want him to think he aint got 8 friend on earth but himself. Why, I'd have made this play just as l have done, MT.

 Aren't you a little hard on him?"
 Not a bit! don't know the stock and know just what he needs? Most men you couldn't treat as I'm treatin' him; but with him, the harder you bear down on him the more you'll get out of him. That was the way with his pa-he was a different man after things got to comin' too easy fur him. This fellow, the way I'm treatin' him, will keep his head even after he gets things comin' easy again, or miss my guess. He thinks q despise him TOW.

 Has he suspected anything?"

 The old man chuckled.

People of Hollywood and Colegrove
are rejoicing over the change of sched-
ule on the lines of that division oper-
ated by the Los Angeles by
which all Hollywood and Colegrove
cars leaving Los Angeles after $3.50
O'Clock in the morning and before 7:05
O'Clock at night run directly through
to Venice
The change went into effect yester-
day. Heretofore most of the cars went
only as far as Sherman or Morocco
and then turned back.
Residents of Hollywood and Cole
grove going to Venice in the morning
felt the long wait at a lonely station
a great hardship. and coming back late
at night an even greater trial Tour
lists going to the beach were also
anxious to go by way of Hollywood, but
objected to making the transfer.
Additional cars have been placed on
both lines and much better service is
expected.
The first car on the Hollywood line
will leave the Fourth street depot at
sos o'clock, and the first car on the
Colegrove line at 6:15 o'clock. From
then until $50 the cars will run every
ten minutes, but after that there will
be a five-minute service, the cars on
each line alternating.
The last car on the Hollywood line
will leave Los Angeles at 1886 a. M,
and the last car on the Colegrove line
at 12:45 a. m.
