"Evangeline!" came the iron-bound

"Evangeline!" came the iron-bound
command at the same moment.
For an instant she hesitated, and
stood trembling and casting fleet
frightened glances at each in turn.
Then the habit of a lifetime conquered
even the impulse of her love. She
shrank to her fathers side.
John Petherby's finty eyes seemed
to light for an instant with a CLEAN
of triumph as he looked at the dis
comfited Don, but his voice was the
same hard, uncompromising, slow mon
otone. >"Evangeline, you will tell this
young man that you will never see him
again"
Eva's only answer was a smothered
moan of pain.
"Eva!" cried Don with eager plead
ing.
Never again, Evangeline,' declared
the stern old man..
Father" she walled.
do you dare to disobey me?" The
tone even colder in its implacable
sternness.
She dropped into a chair and burst
into wild sobbing.
The tears drove Don mad! Have
you no mercy?" he cried. Cant you
! see what she suffers? Do you want to
break her hearth"
"Evangeline!"
"Eva!"
Again the appeal from both came
almost simultaneously.
IT'S no use, Don It's no use. Go
| away, please" she cried, her voice
quivering, and her words broken and
scarcely audible for her sobs.
You will never see him again,
Evangeline? Tell him So said her
! father, holding to his purpose with he
relentless ~tenacity which had given
him his great wealth,
"Eva!' The appeal eager and pas
sionate now and eloquent of the pain
of impending defeat.
Don't, Don, don't. / can never see
you again."
The instant the words were past her
lips Mr.. Petherby rang his bell.
Eva, do you see what you are doingf
a word of hope? 1 will not give you
up. / swear it. 1 cannot. Come with
me now, dearest" and he pushed for
ward to go to her.
Mr.. Petherby blocked his way, and
the two stood glaring at each other
the one hot, emotional. resentful: the
other cold, hard. resolute-a rock Of
steadiness against which the young
mans passion beat itself in vain.
The two servants entered.

my answer, Mr.. Petherby;" and Don
Stuart's handsome, rank features
flushed as he looked Eva's father in the
face, the fearless self-dependence of the
tone emphasized by the proud upstand-
ing poise of the tall. powerful frame.
John Petherby's eyes were like hints,
his face as a mask of chilled steel, his
voice icy and deliberate, "Cast-iron

by the light m~ustache: unreliable as a
ferret, declared the shifty pale-blue
eyes; and the rich, self-made man read
the signs like the print of a book.
As a man, "Cast-iron John" would
not have given him twenty shillings a
week in the big factory. But the dis
pensation of Providence had made the
man a peer; and the father believed he
was doing well to buy him as a SON
in-law. And he was prepared to buy
the honor, as he bought all things. at a
fair price. Fifty thousand pounds in
cash TO pay his lordship's present debts;
and half a million sterling settled upon
Eva, to rever to her husband if there
were no children. That was the price.
And both sides considered it a fair
bargain.
And now" said Mr.. Petherby, after
a pause, you will meet candor with
candor?"
"what do you mean?" asked Lord
Broadstone, with a start of uneasi-
ness.
You have no entanglements of any
kinda"
"of course not. What do you say
that for?' The answer was irritably
spoken.
you were away for some years in
America before your father came into

There was a pause. The younger man
did not know what reply to make. The

way to speculations of a very different
kind. i've no doubt il will be all right,

Omaha, Neb., August 23-The Oma-

According to this report, Hartman
was told by his physician before his

stomach had hold on him and that
he had less than one year to live. The
European trip was then made in hope
that some of the great foreign physi-
clans might be able to offer some
hope. However, the trip was without
success, and Hartman is now return
