CHAPTER V. (Continued.)

Jane said Theodore presently
when they had left the lake and the
great pine tree behind and were
walking slowly home through the
woods, Il have something of impor
lance to tell you which, now that
you are to be my wife, dear, think
you ought to know at once"
1T concerns a certain member OF
my family" he went on. The sub
ject is very unpleasant one to me
but | want you to know of it, SO
shall tell you everything briefly
When he first disappeared from
Salsport long ago, the family did
not discover for some time what
had become of him, but they subse
quently learned that he had gone to
sea. So much every one knows
What they don't know is that one
night in a distant port, about 20
years ago, he got into drunken
fight with another man and killed
him. He was tried for mansaugh
ter and sentenced to prison for a
long term.
But listen: You remember what
he did the other night at the con
cert? l made up my mind when he
insulted you that matters had gone
far enough, AMI that something
must be done, so l consulted with
my father, and that very night went
out and hunted up Montgomery un.
til found him at 2 o'clock in the
morning making for mis- old boat
down by the wharf. We had heart
to heart talk, and I offered him a
large sum of money if he would
leave Salsport and settle some
where else and never return. The
poor fellow means wei enough when
he's sober, and the upshot of it was
that he took the money and went
away by the early morning train. y
The lovers left the woodland
paths behind, and by and by came
out on the high road that intersect
ed the forests for mile in that re.
gion. There, sitting in the grass by
the wayside, with bloated, vacuous
face and hat tilted over one ear
arose on their vision Montgomery
Stone. He waved his hand uncer:
tainly as he saw them advancing.
Sorry, Ted-couldn't keep away
Had to come back to the graves OF
my ancestors. Hope to be buried
with my forefathers in the family
lot, Teddy, some day, y know he
explained.
Over Theodore's face passed a
look of furious indignation. When
he spoke his voice was even and
steady, but the words seemed to
curl like a whip lash.
so you have added lying and
thieving to the list of your accom-
plishments. Where is the money
gave you? Spent it, | suppose"
"Sure-why MOTIVE come back
for more, or I'll tell something to
the Salsport people as will make
yer not half so proud, eh, Ted?"
This reference to the secret, and
very evident attempt at extortion
angered Theodore to his limit of en-
durance. Advancing toward Mont,
gomery, he cried: You ever at
tempt that ami Fll-well, there will
be few who care what might hap
pen"

Montgomery Stone was in the
crowd. sobered by the shock, clear
| headed, working like a man pos
! sessed Of the strength of half q
dozen men. and again they saw him
dash out Of a burning hallway, halt
suffOcated, bearing an unconscious
| workman in his arms. His face
was pale and fierce, his eyes were
blazing like those of an enraged
tiger; he was fighting angry.
Roger Malley, now a full-fedged
| lawyer in SalspOrt, loitered around
talking to several of the townspeo-
pie. Soon he met Theodore and the
elder Stone coming from the fac
tory, both dazed, bewildered. In
sympathetic silence he accompanied
Theodore as far as his office, where
| father and son paired, the older
man going his way homeward, while
! Theodore went upstairs to his Of
| fee, overwhelmed, silent.
Roger remained on the sidewalk
talking to old Sam CUTLER and to
one or two others.
Montgomery Stone has just gone
/ into TheodOre's Office" some one
said. Hes looking for Theodore
said there was no mercy for him
now"
Poor devil" cried Roger. "He is
nearly crazy"
We'll. yes-but not so crazy after
ALL" answered Sam CUTLER. Hes
an ex-convict, and he says he's dis
graced them all forever"
How do you know he is an ex.
convict" cried Roger, seeing that
the secret was out.
HE told every one in his excite
ment," spoke up a bystander. "He
says he ought to die now; he says
the Stones have all hidden the truth
and helped him-and he pays them
back by pauperizing Theodore"
Roger was forming an answer,
when all heard the pleading voice of
montgomery Stone, and the half an
cry, half reprOachful words of Theo-
dore coming from the office.
Then some one whispered,
There's Jane Malley." CHANGING
along the street, they saw Jane en-
ter the building by it's back door,
evidently bound for Theodore's of
| fee.
Roger returned to the postoffice
and then started for his home, per-
haps five minutes after Jane had
entered Theodore's office. He had
scarce walked hundred PAGES
when he heard a wOmans shrek.
He halted, then retraced his steps,
and, with many others, saw a boy
rushing headlong down the front Of
fee stars.

SANTA CLAUS LETTERS.

1 ( .
A few days ago an order was issued
that all letters addressed TO Santa
| Claus, finding their way into the post
| offices, were to be sent to the dead
letter Offices.
There was q reason tor this. AT first
an occasional letter addressed to tho
| good Saint was found, and the pa
thetic story was told i'll the newspapers,
| with the details OF benevolent giving
added. As a result letters to Santa
! Claus multiplied all over the country,
and the postoftice officials on IN
yestigation, found that most of the let
tors were penned by professional beg
gars and frauds. To protect we'll
meaning philanthropists against i'm
position, the order was issued.
And SO the dear public has had an
other much needed lesson in the neces-
sty of adding wisdom to beneyolence-
There are reliable agencies through
which to distribute gifts to those who
are needy, and anyone who has more
to distribute than he can attend to per-
tons. Personal investigation and
personal giving are the very best forms
of charity, for nothing softens the heart
as much as personal contact with
those who suffer. There is really no
other way OF Joining heart to heart.
The rich man who only permits L.aza-
rus to feed on the crumbs that
fall from the table cannot feel,
as a brother should for brother, for
the sufferer. The Master went. per-
sonally, among the poor and afflicted
and healed them and fed them, and
that is the very best form OF charity.
But those who cannot do that can
select responsible organizations and
institutions through which to dispense
their bounty.
We do not want to offend anyone,
but as All illustration we wish to state
that the New York Evening Post claims
| that, according to the testimony Of. the
General of the Salvation Army before
the Supreme Court. of the funds coll
lected by that organization, 40 per cent
goes to the officers for salaries and SO
per cent the solicitors keep for COM
mission. Now. we do. not know what
the facts exactly are. but it Is evident
that charity that costs anything like
90 per cent to distribute, is misplaced.
There are bishops in the wards and
ministers OF churches, who will be
pleased to place gifts where they are
really needed and to do SO without
remuneration. We should be wise as
| well as benevolent.
