You don't mean it," I calculated,
and sickening fear turned me cold.
Perhaps this has something to do
with it," said Mrs. Armistead. Il
found it on the front hall table under
meath the mail bag"
Her anxiety was apparently sincere,
and yet somehow 1t rang false to me.
With impatient fingers seized the
folded paper she drew from her reti-
cule. 1t read as follows:
Dear Old Arch: Sorry to deceive
you So but I've gone and done it--that
rash, foolish thing you told me not to
do; at least, by the time you get this
note the deed will be done. And so
dreaded your reproaches that / never

The Square Deal.

A stout and opulent man dwelling in
a suburban town had borne the ex-
pense OF the annual Sunday school
picnic, and the superintendent of the
school, out of gratitude, asked the
benetactor to address the children.
The philanthropist was not much of
speaker but he was master hand at
poker. When he found himself gazing
into the expectant faces Of a hundred
and fifty children his embarrassment
almost overcame him, but he managed
to stammer out: my dear children,
what I want to impress upon you is
that-er-er-it pays TO be good. That
er-er-er-a man who deals from the
bottom of the pack is generally buried
at the public expense"

stood the trial without faltering and
had even proved himself equal to dis
regarding my wishes. Yet / really
think that on that night when he had
agreed with me that 1t was best to
give her up he meant to do so, but
his love for the girl proved stronger
than his love for gold or his feeling
for his friend. And it was thus that
the boy won-because he had loved
truly and faithfully.
And l also learned afterward that
the six Agathas, shortly after the
elopement of Vincent and the secre-
tary-that-was, had all gone to their
homes in America. Later some of them
married certain suitors who had once
been guests at Castle Wyckhoff. Among
these were Agatha First and young
Brancepeth, who, | am happy to say.
has led reformed life since his mar
riage. And it also came to pass that
Vincent and his bride took possession
of Castle Wyckhoff as their country
seat when they came back from their
honeymoon. And there often visited
them.
But on that eventful day when the
train had pulled out of the station
none of these things was known to
me, and l stood on the platform dizzy
with the unexpected turn events had
taken.
And so it was that Vincent got
ahead OF me, just as he has always
done. And so 1t was, also, that re-
turned to London, still an eligible
bachelor, still the prey of matcb-ma.
king mammas and smiling debutautes.
There was but one comforting
thought in the mixture of disappoint.
ment and chagrin that made the sum
of my feelings as drove slowly back
to the castle. This much had been
given me: At least had no; made the
fatal mistake of proposing TO the
wrong Agatha, and Rugged myself as
thought how near had come to put
ting the question to Agatha Sixth that
very morning. That, at least, I had
managed to avoid. From that folly
the innate caution and unerring in.
stinct Of Archibald Terhune had pre-.
served him. Thank Heaven

TOPPER.
1.-THE station!" cried, jumping up
beside him; and we flew down the
winding drive at a pace that would
not think of attempting in cold blood.
Through Mrs. Armisteads criminal
delay in handing me the note many
valuable minutes had been wasted, yet
| thought should still be in time per-
haps to save Vincent from carrying
out the last fatal step of his incredible
folly. 1t might not be too late to part
them, for in spite of what he had said
in his note could not believe that the
worst had actually happened. AS we
approached the last strip of woods be-
fore we reached the station l caught
sight of a puff of white smoke down
the track. A moment later, when we
drew up at the platform, the great
locomotive Numbered into the station,
and there, at the other end of the plat
form, / saw them. There was Vim
cent, clad in the things he had worn
on the train when we had first come
through the fields of Wye, and with
him was a remarkably pretty girl with
beautiful wavy red hair, in a gray
tailor suit and smart black hat. OF
course 1t was the secretary.

waved in return, and could see Vim
cent smiling happily at me as they
entered one of the carriages. AS

his head out. "Oh, Vincent" was all
/ said; Jam l too late?"
Not at ALL" he said, genially;
you're just in time to congratulate
me. But what wanted of you, Arch"
and he leaned toward me and low
cred his voice-"was to ask you to
break it to my father"
Then it's true?" said, not quite
able to believe it, even yet.
Yes, It's true" he said aloud, and
with radiant smile he drew back a
little so that could see the erstwhile
Miss Marsh. Its true that I've mar
ried the secretary"
But it's not" said that lady, much
to my surprise, and thrusting out her

was only playing secretary. He's
married no one but the Honorable
Agatha, the first, last, and only honor,
able!"
And for proof of her astonishing
words she snatched off her glove and
displayed to my marveling gaze the
big emerald cross of the Wyckhoff
ring, winking in the sunshine
At this moment the train began to
move, and l was filled with a sudden
and justifiable rage that Vincent
should have so deceived me. To think
that he had been in the secret all
the time and had helped to make a.
fool of me! But one look at his face
proved to me that / had done him an
injustice. He was as stricken with
amazement as was, and / knew that
then, and not until then, had he be-
come acquainted with the truth. Gath
ering my wits quickly, for the train
was moving faster, l ran after their
carriage till caught up with the win
dow again. 'Good-by!" / shouted,
and God bless you!" And Vincent,
reaching out his big hand, had just
time to catch mine in his strong
grasp before dropped back, out
stripped, and he had withdrawn his
radiant face from my view.
Afterward l learned many things.
First, that they had been married very
early that morning, before the rest of
us'were up, in the little chapel at Wye,
with Mrs. Armistead, who was in the
secret, as witness. That explained her
delay in giving me the note. Dreading
my interference, they had not wished
me to know until the whole thing was
we'll over and Mrs. Armistead back
at Castle Wyckhoff. Second, that 1t
had been the Honorable Agatha's own
Idea to play the part of secretary to
her aunt, thus improving upon her IA
theirs plan, and making 1t still more
difficult for the competing suitors to
discover her identity. Third, that her
reason for telling Vincent that Agatha
Sixth was the real Honorable Agatha
was only to prove him once more and
to the uttermost. And Vincent had
