The letter made Brewster chafe I'M
der the bonds of inaction. His affairs
were getting into discouraging state.
The illness was certain to entail a loss
Of more than $4,000 to his business.
His only consolation came through Har-
rison's synopsis of the reports from
Gardner, who was managing the brief
American tour of the viennese orches-
ira. Quarrels and discussions were
becoming everyday embarrassments,
and the venture was an utter failure
from a financial point of view. Bro
ken contracts and lawsuits were turn
ing the tour into one continuous round
the point Of despair. From the begin
ming, apparently, the concerts had been
marked for disaster. Public indiffer-
ence had aroused the scorn Of the iras-
chile members Of the orchestra, and
there was imminent danger Of a col
lapse in the organization. Gardner liv-
ed in constant fear that his troop Of
Quarrelsome Hungarians would finish
their tour suddenly in pitched battle
with daggers and stems. Brewster
smiled at the thought Of the practical
Gardner trying to smooth down the
electric emotions Of these musicians.

IT'S all right, hopper. I see that you

II knew you'd act this way, but it
doesn't help matters. Some day l may
be able to pay back the money l took,
and I'm going to work until do"
Brewster protested that he had no
use for the money and begged him to
retain the position Of trust he had held.
But Harrison had too much self re-
spect to care to be confronted daily
with the man he had wronged. Gradu-
ally Monty realized that hopper was
pursuing the most manly course open
to him and gave up the effort to dis
suade him. He insisted upon leaving
New York, as there was no opportu-
nifty to redeem himself in the metropo-
lis.
I've made up my mind, Monty, to go
out west-up in the mountains, perhaps.
There's no telling, l may stumble on
gold mine up there-and-well that
seems to be the only chance l have to
restore what have taken from you"
by Jove, hopper, l have it!' cried
Monty. IF you must go, I'll stake you
In the hunt for gold.'
In the end hopper consented to fol-
low Brewster's advice, and It was
agreed that they should share equally
all that resulted from his prospecting
tour. Brewster grub staked" him for
a year, and before the end of the week
a new tenderfoot was on his way to
the Rocky mountains.

CHAPTER XVII.


~ REWSTER was comparatively
well and strong when he re-
turned to New York in March,
- His illness had interfered ex-
tensively with his plan Of campaign,
and it was imperative that he redou-
BILE his efforts, Notwithstanding the
manifest dismay Of his friends. His
first act was to call upon Grant & Rip
ley, from whom he hoped to learn
what Swearengen Jones thought Of his
methods. The lawyers had heard no
complaint from Montana and advised
him to continue as he had begun, as
surfing him as far as they could that
Jones would not prove unreasonable.
An exchange Of kilograms Just before
his operation had renewed Monty's
dread Of his eccentric mentor:
New York. Jan. 6. 49,
Swearengen Jones. Butte, Mont:
How about having my life insureai
Would II violate conditions?

asset in that case. Can you dispose of Il

To Montgomery Brewster. New York:

you to take out $500 policy. JONES
To Swearengen Jones, Butte, Mont:
Do you think that amount would cover
funeral expenses?
MONTGOMERY BREWSTER
To Montgomery Brewster. New York:
You won't be caring about expenses II it
comes to that. JONES
The invitations for the second ball
had been out for some time, and the
preparations were nearly complete
when Brewster arrived upon the scene
of festivity. 1t did not surprise him
that several old time friends should
hunt him up and protest vigorously
against the course he was pursuing,

de Leon, and there was much specula-
ton upon the chances for reconcilia-
ton. Monty, however, maintained q
strict silence on the subject and refus-
ed to satisfy the curiosity Of his friends.
Mrs. Drew had brought down q small
crowd, including two pretty Kentucky
girls and a young Chicago millionaire.
She lived well and sensibly and with
none of the extravaganza that charac-
terized the cottage. Yet it was in
evitable that Brewster's guests should
see hers and join some Of their riding
parties. Monty pleaded that he was
not we'll enough to be in these excur-
sions, but neither he nor Barbara cared
to overemphasize the estrangement.
Peggy Gray was in despair over Mon
tvs attitude She had become con-
vtnced that behind his pride he was
cherishing a secret longing for Bar
bara. Yet she could not see how the
walls were to be broken down II he
sure that the masterful tone was the
one to win with a girl like that, but
evidently Monty would not accept ad-
vice. That he was mistaken about Bar
bara's feeling she did not doubt for
moment, and she saw things going
hopelessly wrong for want of a word
There were times when she let herself
dream Of possibilities, but they always
ended by seeming too impossible. She
cared too much to make the attainment
Of her vision seem simple. She cared
too much to be sure of anything.
At moments she fancied that she
might say word to Miss Drew which
would straighten things out. but there
was something about her which held
her OF. Even now that they were
thrown together more or less she could
not get beyond certain barrier. It
was not until a sunny day when she
had accepted Barbaras invitation to
drive that things seemed to go more
easily. For the first time she felt the
charm of the girl. and for the first time
Barbara seemed unreservedly friendly.
IL was quiet drive they were taking
tn. cIgh the woods and out along the
beach, and somehow in the open air
things simplified themselves. Finally

was inevitable that Peggy should bring
it in, for with her a question of tact
was never allowed to dominate when
things Of moment were at stake. She
covered before the plunge. but she
took il unafraid.
THE doctor says Monty may go out
driving tomorrow" she began. Isn't
that flne?"
Barbara's only response was to touch
her pony little too sharply with the

SHOWS THE EFFECTS OF PAIN

Brutal Drivers of Horses

A new branch of science heralds
its own appearance in Paris. 1t Is
named Dolorimetry. and Its function
is the measurement" OF dynamics
of pain by material means. Inc proc
ess is the invention of M. w. Serieyx,
who has moved to study the subject
nv the terrible extent to which cruelty
toward horses is daily witnessed In
the Paris streets. says the Philadei-
pbia Record. His theory is that,
though French drivers and others In
charge of horses are brutal toward
the animals. they are really more
stupidity ignorant than malignant, ana
he has developed Dolorimetry as a
means of giving them the evidence OF
their own eyes of the grave physical
effects of cruelty. The dolometer
shows that the dynamic force OF
sbarp cut with an ordinary carriers
whip Is equal TO about 2S5 pounds,
and that a vigorous jerk at the reins
nuts a pressure of about 3O5 pounds
on the horses head. Nj. Ser1eyx
thinks that If they can be made ac-
uuainted with these figures horsemen
will be more careful.
