and this set up on the mantel in the
little s.tting.room. 1t was with a new
and curious interest that peered INTO
my grandfather's shrewd old eyes. He
used to come and go fitfully at my
fathers house; but my father had dis
pleased him in various ways that ]
need not recite, and my fathers death
had left me with an estrangement
which l had wldened by my own acts.
Now that had reached Glenarm, my
mind reverted to Pickering's estimate
of the value of my grandfather's estate.
Although John Marshall Glenarm was
an eccentric man, he had been able to
accumulate a large fortune; and yet
i had tamely permitted the executor to
tell me that he had died comparatively
poor. In so readily accepting the
terms of the VIII and burying myself
in region of which | knew nothing, l
had cut myself off from the usual chan
-nels of counsel If left the place to
return to New York i should simply
disinherit myself. At Glenarm I was.
and there l must remain to the end of
the year. l grew bitter against Picker
ing as l reflected upon the ease with
which he had got rid of me. / had
always satisfied myself that my wits
were as keen as his, but felt now that
had stupidity put myself in his power.

The great library seemed larger than
ever when l beheld 1t in the morning
light i opened one of the French
windows and stepped out on stone
terrace, where | gained fair view of
the exterior of the house, which proved
to be a modified Tudor, with battle
ments and two towers. One of the lat
ter was only half-finished, and to it
and to other parts of the house the
workmen's scaffolding still clung
Heaps of stone and piles of lumber
were scattered about IN great disorder
The house extended partly along the
edge of a ravine. through which a
slender creek ran toward the lake.
The terrace became broad balcony
Immediately outside the library, and
beneath it the water bubbled pleasant
ly around heavy stone pillars. Two
pretty rustic bridges spanned the
ravine, one near the front entrance,
the other at the rear. My grandfather
had projected his house on a generous
plan, but buried as 1t was among the
trees, it suffered the lack of perspec-
tive. However. on one side toward the
lake was a fair meadow, broken by a
water-tower. and just beyond the west

still farther, in the same direction, the

New Rllls Not Popular.

According to the Washington Post
quoting a cashier, bank officials do
not prefer fresh. new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks." said cashier. 1T is a
common idea that bank cashiers do
not care to give up crisp paper money.
AS matter of fact, nine cashiers out
of every ten try to get rid of new
money as quickly as possible after re-
ceiving it. There is grave danger to
the average paying teller in handling
unused money. New Bank notes stick
together. Frequently the ink is not
thoroughly dry"

We had reached the center of the viii

ing the street to one of the shops. l
continued on to the railway station,
where / wrote and paid for my mes
sage. The station master inspected
me carefully as 1 searched my pockets
for change.
You want your kilograms delivered
at the house?" he asked.
Yes, please" l answered, and he
turned away to his desk of clicking in
struments without looking at me again.
1t seemed wise to establish relations
with the postofiice, so | made myself
known to the girl who stood at the de-
livery window
You already have box" she ad-
vised me. There's boy carries the
mail to your house; Mr.. Bates hires
him.
Bates had himself given me this in
formation. but the girl seemed to find
pleasure in imparting it with a GER
tain severity. l then bought a cake of
soap at the principal drug store and
purchased package of smoking to-
bacco, which 1 did not need, at
grocery.
News of my arrival had evidently
reached the villagers; l was conceited
enough to imagine that my presence
was probably of interest to them; but
the station master. the girl at the post
office and the clerks in the shops
treated me with an unmistakable cold
reserve. There was a certain even
ness of the chill with which they Wis
tied me, as though a particular degree
OF frigidity had been agreed on in adj
vance.

did or YOU might say as we didn't. He
wasn't lust the sort that you got next

to himself He built a wall there to
keep us out. but he needn't have trou-
bled himself We're not the kind
around here to NEEDLE, and you may
be sure the summer people never both
cred him."
There was a tone of resentment In
his voice, and hastened to say:
I'm sure you're mistaken about the
purposes of that wall. My grandfather
was student of architecture. 1t was
a hobby of his. The house and wall
were in the line of his experiments.
and to please his whims. l hope the
people of the village won't hold any
hard feelings against his memory Or
against me Why, the labor there
must have been a good thing for the
people hereabouts.''
1T ought to have been" said the
man grunly; but that's where the
trouble comes in. He brought lot OF
queer fellows here under contract to
work for him,-Italians. or Greeks, or
some sort of foreigners. They built
the wall and he had EN- at work in
side for half a year. He didn't even
let 'em out for air; and when they
finished his job he loaded 'em on to
train one day and hauled 'em away"
THAT was quite like him, I'm sure"
| said, remembering with amusement
my grandfather's secretive ways.

said the man conclusively
1t was evident that he did not care
to establish friendly relations with the
resident of Glenarm. He was about 40,
light, with a yellow beard and pale
blue eyes. He was dressed roughly
and wore shabby soft hat.
