ORDE did not return to the office. He felt unwilling to face New O mark until he had little more
 thoroughly digested the situa- uon- He spent the rest of the after noon about the place playing with Bobby. Three or four times he called up Carroll by telephone. After dinner they sat on the porch until Bobby's bedtime Orde put his small son to bed and sat talking with the youngster as long as his conscience would permit Then he retired to the library.
 Suddenly Orde leaned forward, his senses at the kecnest attention After a moment he arose and quietly walked toward the open window. Just as he reached the easement and looked out a man looked in- The two stared at each other not two feet apart.
 Good Lord, Heinzmanr' cried Orde. What are you doing hereT' he de- manded.
 "Dake me somewheres," he whis- pered hoarsely. "I haf broke quaran- tine. and dey will be after me"
 What do you mean by coming here and exposing my house to infection?"
 Heinzman began to blubber and cried aloud in greatest agony:
 'T haf somedings to say to you" He grasped Ords by the arm "Dey are dere init shotguns to kill me if broke quarantine. And haf left my daugh- ter. my daughter Nina, all alone to come and tell you And now you don't listen"
 Come with me-" said Orde briefly.
 He led the way around the house to the tool shed and lit a lantern.
 Heinzman sat down on a nail keg-
 Orde looked at him curiously. He was half dressed, without a collar. his thin hair unkempt His eyes burned bright as though from some internal fire.

 ''Ach. Orde," cried the German, 'I am tortured init hollenqualle-what you call?-helrs fire. You. whose wife comes in and saves my Nina when the others runs away-you, my best

 .'Well, I expected to pay it, and I'll pay it yet" rejoined Orde. '1 think Heinzman will renew the notes
 He seized his hat and departed. Once in the street, however, his irrita- ton passed. As was the habit of the man, he began more clearly to see Newmark's side and so more em- phaticaIly to blame himself. After all. when he got right down to the essen tials be could not but acknowledge that Newmark's anger was justified.
 "Mr. HeinzmanT' he asked briefly of the first clerk.
 He is at home iIl.~
 "Aireadyf' said Orde. He drummed on the rail thoughtfuIly. The notes came due fin ten days.
 'Well. who's in charger"
 ''Mr. Lambert"
 Orde passed through the grill into the inner room.
 Hello, Lambert" he addressed the individual seated at Heinzman's desk ''So you're the boss, ehT'
 ''Yes, I'm the boss" said he non committaIly.
 -Heinzman holds some notes due against our people in ten days" said 0rde. 'I came in to see about their renewal"

 His excitement died.
 Have you that note?" asked Orde.
 ''Tt is at my office for the foreclosure. I will not foreclose. He can send me to the penitentiary."
 Telephone Lambert in the morning to give it to me. No-here. Write an order in this notebook
 Heinzman wrote the required order.
 ''I go." said he, suddenly weary
 Orde accompanied him down the street and succeeded in slipping him through the improvised quarantine.
 Morning found Orde still seated in the library chair. His head was sunk forward on his chest; his hands were extended, listless. palms up, along the arms of the chair; his eyes were va cant and troubled
 When the full sun shone into the library he aroused himself to change his clothes. Then, carrying those he had just discarded, he slipped out of the house and down the street He paused only long enough to telephone from the office telling Carroll he would be out of town ali day. Then he set out at a long swinging gait over the hills, miles from the village and in the high beech woods. There he sat down. his back to a monster tree. All day long he gazed steadily on the shifting shadows and splotches of sunlight; on the patches of blue sky. the dazzling white clouds that sailed across them; on the waving, whispering frond that overarched him and the deep cool shadows beneath.
 At evening Orde shook himself and arose.
 He reached home a little before 6 o'clock. He found Taylor awaiting him.
 ''I have things pretty we'll in shape" the lawyer said.
 ''Then the trouble is overr' asked Orde
 ''I wouldn't say that" replied Taylor, but you can rest easy as to the title to your lands. The investigation had no real basis to it. There may have been some small individual cases of false entry. but nothing on which to ground a real attack
 "When can I borrow on it7"
 Not for year or two, should say. There's an awful lot of red tape to un- wind"
 "oh," said orde in some disappoint- ment.
 Taylor hesitated.
 'T have something more to tell you something that will be painful" said he.
 Orde looked up quickly.
 Well, what is it?''
 "The general cussedness of all this investigation business had me puzzled until at last made up my mind to do a little Investigating on my own ac- count. There was one man behind all this He was'-
 AJoe Newmnrk." said Orde quietly.
 "How did you know thatT'

 ~well it was Newmark. He tied up l the land in this trurnped up investiga- ton so you could not borrow on it-' How did he find out I owned any land7' asked Orde. That I couldn't tell you Must have been a leak somewhere Orde did not wish to return to the office until he had worked his problem out, so to lend his absence the color of naturalness he drove back next morn ing to the booms. In the evening he went direct to Newmark's.
 "Mr. Newmsrk is out, sir." said Nal lock and started to close the door. But Orde thrust his foot and knee in the opening.
 .'Fn come in and wait" said he quietly.
 ~Yes, sir; this way, sir," said Mall lock, trying to indicate the dining room
 Orde caught the aroma of tobacco. He turned the knob of the door and entered the library.
 There he found Newmark in evening dress, seated in a low easy chair be- heath lamp, smoking and reading a magazine. At Orde's appearance in the doorway he looked up calmly, his paper knife poised, keeping the place.
 Orde entered the room and meehan ically sat down.

 Newmark's eyes narrowed.
 "Well. what of it?'
 eff you had the money to lend why didn't you lend it direct?''
 Because it looks better to mortgage to an outside holder"
 .sThat was not the reason" went on Orde. ''You agreed with Heinzman to divide when you succeeded in foreclos- fng me out of the timberlands given as security. Furthermore, you in- structed Floyd to go out on the eve of that blow in spite of his warnings, and you contracted with Mcleod for the new vessels, and you've tied us up right and left for the sole purpose of pinching us down where we couldn't meet those notes. That's the only req son you borrowed the seventy-fve thousand on your own aecount-so we couldn't borrow 1t to save ourselves"

HIT ON BLIND SIDE.
ID. r. Osborne Has Street Car Con-
ductor Arrested for Assault.

| AS the result of an overcharge for
trip to VinewoOd park last summer
warrant was this morning issued in
the city court for the arrest of j. w.
Clayton, street car conductor. The
direct cause of the warrant was the
alleged assault of Clayton upon D. r.
osborne, druggist with store at 404
Kansas avenue. Osborne alleges that
Clayton waited until he had turned
aside and his blind eye was toward
the conductor before the assault was
made. Then. he alleges, his bad eye
was swatted three times. Osborne
carries exhibit A on his face. APP
parently it will be easy for the court
to see that something happened to
his left eye.
According to the story told by Os-
borne to the county officials he was
over charged % cents on trip to
Vlnewood last summer on the car on
which Clayton was conductor. He
told the conductor of the overcharge
and when the car reached Vinewood
and Clayton counted his money it is
alleged, he admitted the over charge
and told Osborne he would arrange
matters so that the druggist might get
the money without inconvenience.
A few days later it is declared Clay
| ton called at the drug store and in
| formed Osborne that he could get
his two bit piece by calling at the Of
| flee of the City Railway company
oSDOTne OeInufreQ saying that trip
to the car offices would cost him a
dime. Clayton informed him that this
was the only manner in which he
could get the money.
Osborne felt that such a settlement
was unjust to him and says that for
the next five times he rode on Clay
tons car he refused to pay fare. In
this way he felt that he was getting
his money back. Clayton, it is al
legged, cursed Osborne a number of
times for this action.
Last Saturday night Osborne says
he rode on Clayton's car and as the
overcharge had been exhausted hand
ed the conductor dime. when he
called for fare, and Clayton kept the
extra nickel. Osborne says he went
to the rear platform of the car and
demanded the return of the nickel.
He was told, he AYERS, that he could
get his change by calling on the street
railway company at the offices. Hot
words followed and Osborne says that
when he turned his dark eye to Clay
ton, preparatory to going back into
the car, the conductor struck him in
the eye. He had no warning that the
blow was coming, he declares, be-
cause he could not see Clayton. The
first blow was followed by two more
and as a result Osborne's eve ball is a
bright strawberry color and the flesh
below his eye is more or less Iacerat-
ed and the hue of midnight.
