CHAPTER XIV.

He looked much more self-possessed
than his accuser as he entered the
room, hat in hand. One might have
thought that brisk wind was blowing
in the legs of Billery's trousers, he
trembled so violently. The newcomer
was perfectly self-possessed, and in
his scrupulous attire and with the fine
distinction Of manner which belonged
to him he presented strong contrast
to the occupant of the room, whose re-
cent indulgence in his only vice had
left him with debased features and
hnstrung nerves. Billery after a
weeks sobriety was Enthusiastically q
gentleman. Billery after weeks de-.
bauch looked like berry loafer. He
was not trembling from fear, for,
though he had the temper of sheep,
he had no want of physical courage.
He made a tremendous effort and
pulled himself together.
ITO what do I owe the honor of
this very unexpected visit?" he asked.
Brangwyn, who on his entry had
gravely saluted Truscott, placed his
hat upon a chest of drawers and
looked at Billery with quiet disdain
which was not easy to endure.
Il am not sorry to find you here,
Mr. Truscott. l understand that you
ARE this gentleman's employer, and
that in the inquiries he has felt it his
duty to make about myself he has
had your sanction and support"
$50 long as Mr.. Billery's inquiries
lasted they had my sanction and sup
port" said Truscott. II believe they
would have had the sanction and sup
port of any man who occupies a posi-
ton similar to my own
"Of that it is impossible for me to
judge returned Aloysius, calmly. Il

on which you acted But you have

and upright man, and I must assume

CHAPTER xIlI.-(contlnued)

We'll, he's in love with his new
parishioner. He tells me he's one 81
the most generous and open-handed
fellows in the world. The children Of
the place adore him. Now, I'm very
much inclined to trust in child's in
stincts."
YES" said Billery, you've told me
all that before, but it makes no differ
ence to my opinion. The money is
conscience money, as I've said since
first heard of it. The fellow was al
ways supercilious with ME, but l ad
NIT that with some people he used to
have a very taking manner, and he
has one Of the sweetest vices l ever
heard. But Nero had voice, you re.
member, and was rather captivating
covey until you got to know him, l
believe"
Il can't read the man as you d."
Truscott answered, land if the truth
is ever to be known it may turn out
that he killed the old man by mis-
adventure, and that he hid him in the
manner you suggest; but that he is a
deliberate and wilful criminal simp-
ly won't believe"
Billeery stood by his guns.
"The brute killed old Brangwyn for
his money, and if he were here I'd tell
him so to his face"
Just as he spoke the words knock
sounded at the door and the slaternly
slavey at Billery's bidding came in,

her ragged apron.
IF you please, sir, another gentle
man to see you. He's awaiting in the
hall, and he says he has very particu-

Billery took the card and glanced at

Talk of Satan," he said, and hand
ed the card to Truscott.
"Jehoshaphat!" cried Truscott.
staring in his turn. "SAaM you see
him?"
YES" said Billery, "Tll see him."
His cheeks had gone very white and
accentuated the warm pink of his
nose. Don't go, Rags. can't see him
without a witness. Show the gentle
man upstairs, Belinda"
Eyes, Sir" said the girl, and the
two men stood staring at each other
as she trailed her loose slippers down
the staircase.
What in thunder brings him here?"
said Billery.
You will know in moment, pre-
sumo" Truscott answered.
The name inscribed upon the card
was that of Aloysius Brangwyn.

One Of the serious questions to
come before the next Congress is
the extension of the parcels service
of the United States postoffice
system. The extension is said to
be backed by a powerful lobby,
maintained by the mail order
houses of the great cities. It's sue
cess will mean serious injury, if
not ruin, to many retail stores in
the country and the smaller cities
On one side it is argued that the
extension will be a great advan-
tage to consumers and users, es-
pecially of dry goods, as it will
enable them to purchase in their
own homes at the prices charged
in the larger cities and will save
them the retailers profit.
On the other hand, it is con-
tended that it is not fair to the
retailer, who must pay freight
