About noon he came along, and not with his

Mr.. Maldrake, 1 confess that I am as

"I hope we shall be friends, John Gay
worthy; but could not help expressing my
opinion" replied the baronet

be cast upon my grandfather" / continued.
''He has done his duty. He has chosen to
be true to himself in spite of the pension,
and he would have obeyed the voice of duty
if it had made him beggar."
81 know that he is a good man, and ask
your pardon and his for my hasty words, -
said the baronet, in proper humility.
Il am satisfied, sir" | replied.

Il will pay your share to him without any

But l need five thousand pounds to pay
my expenses" | said glancing at Maddy.
Don't bother your head about that, John, .
he replied, laughing.
II have kept a careful account of all the
expenses, and you promised to receive pay
ment if succeeded in my undertaking."
Il shall not 60 back on my promise, de-
elared Maddy, "But, Sir Morgan, may 1 ask
the exact OF, approximate value of the Gay
worthy estate?"
"My fathers inventory amounted to some
thing like four million pounds, and the in
crease in values has made it full five millions, -
replied Sir Morgan.
''You will not be a beggar under this ar

Certainly, not one-half Of it is quite
enough, and much more than | deserve"
well, John Gayworthy, you are a million

II don't know" replied. HE has never
been much of a father to me, as YOU once

Maddy.

Never by word or hint. If you had sent

If Craylock had not written that stupid let

Brooks was as silent as the grave. Your spies
have been the ruin of you, Sir Morgan, L
answered.
"You are right, John. You telegraphed me
that you were ready to meet me today, and
| hoped we might settle this terrible business
in a friendly manner" said the baronet,
nervously.
with the counsel and consent of my grand
father and the approval of my other friends,
have concluded to accept the offer you have
made, if fair division of the estate can be
made" | replied.

Very likely he felt what he said just then.
At any rate, we all realized that the crime

sixteen years it had been concealed But l

Late in the evening they arrived My
grandfather hugged me, with tears in his
eyes, and Maddy was almost as demonstrative.
Mr.. Waxall had gone to Havre, and would
bring the Sleeper over to Portsmouth.
After supper, we had a long discussion over

dlgnant at the idea of accepting simply half
the property, and allowing the baronet to

THE DIVISION OF THE GAYwoRTHY Es-
TATE

GRANDFATHER was heartily in
M favor of settlement of the case.
Wadaw was confident that it was
tSSMY the better way. Whether Sir Nor
Ss=Ss=S gan succeeded in defending his case
in the courts or not, he could keep
it in the law for years. The claimant was an
alien, and it was doubtful if Milton Brooks
could be made into a willing witness.

ing as one would be led 10 suppose from
reports that have been published abroad
throughout the Western world That
there have been disturbances is quite
true. but | do not think they menace
the peace of China and the United
States. or any other nation.
The feeling against Americans in
China does not exceed that entertained
toward all other foreigners and As |
understand the situation the entire anti.
foreign feeling Is due in 4 large measure
to the exploitation OF business enter
prises which the Chinese feel should he
controlled by their people. There is a
feeling against those who have in var
ious ways obtained through scheming
and corrupt officials franchises and con
cessions abrogated and vested in their
own people. They are willing to refund
to foreign investors the money they
have spent in the country In fact, this
was done in the case of the Hankow and
Canton Railroad.
Aside from this chief source of anti
foreign feeling, the troubles in China
are due to the presence OF missionaries
was assured by a very prominent
Chinese that the Chinese people are not
all friendly TO the presence OF foreign
missionaries. They resent the efforts Of
the missionaries to force a lot Of new
creeds on their people. The Chinese
have perhaps more firmly fixed relig

world, and they look upon the religions
OF the Western world with scant favor.

BASEBALL.

On Saturday baseball team repre-
senting Graceham, met defeat at the
hands of the local team in an uninterest-
ing and poorly played game. The only
thing attractive about the whole game,
from spectators standpoint, was the
graceful pitching of the man from Grace
ham, who lives in Thurmont. This twirl-
er was of the double-jointed order, and
the way he could watch first, keep anoth-
er eye on second and still look at third
was a revelation. 1t reminded one of a
country square dance, when he delivered
the ball.
In the first inning Graceham scored
their only run on Joseph's Rowe's error.
Isaac Gelwicks was in the box for EN-
mitsburg, and the visitors could do moth
ing with his delivery. Harry Whitmore
played good game at short stop for the
Graceham boys. The score, after AZ in
nings, was II to l. Chronicle.
