a brown commercial envelope, thrice
sealed, and addressed: "R- Gillespie;

ing upon my responsibility and duty in
regard to it Henry Holbrook, in his
anxiety to secure the notes, had taken
advantage of Gillespie's infatuation for
Helen to make her his agent for pro-
curing them, and now it was for me to
use the forged notes as means of re-
storing Arthur Holbrook to his sisters
confidence The way seemed clear
enough, and 1 went to bed resolving
that in the morning 1 should go to
Henry Holbrook. tell him that 1 had
the evidence of his guilt in my posses
sion and threaten him with exposure
If he did not cease his mad efforts to
b1ackmail his sister.

But tell me, did he make love &C
ceptably?"
'-I suppose that was what he was
doing, SIR she replied, demurely,
averting her head.
"Suppose?" 1 laughed.
Eyes; you see, it was my first ex-
perience. And he is really very nice,
and so honest and kind and gentle

it's all over. I'm clear out of it. When

''Oh, he is much more earnest than
you ever could be. I never had any
illusions about you, Mr.. Donovan. You
just amuse yourself with the nearest
girl, and, besides, for a long time you
thought 1 was Helen. Mr.. Gillespie
is terribly in earnest. When he was
talking to me back there in the corner

park to rebuke the policeman"

Gillespie's mild idiosyncrasies.'
But you haven't told me about Hell

trick at once"

that caused Rosalind to laugh

me if she scolded you'll"

caps. 1t was not yet eight O'Clock
when I left the house for my journey
in search of Henry Holbrook. The
envelope containing the forged notes
was safely locked in the vault in
which the Glenarm silver was stored.
AS 1 stepped down into the park I
caught sight of Miss Pat walking in
the garden beyond the wall, and as 1
lifted my cap she came toward the
iron gate. She was rarely abroad so
early and 1 imagined that she had been
waiting for me.
You are abroad early, my lord
she said, with the delicious quaint
mockery with which she sometimes
f1attered me. And she repeated the
lines:

New England Freight Rates Case.

New England interests are well repre-
scented at the hearing before the Interstate
Commerce commission in the eastern
freight rate advance cases, which began
in Washington Monday and will probably
continue for a week. Attorney l.. d. Bran
deis of Boston, chief counsel for the ship
pers, who made the opening statement,
announced that he would produce dozen
or more witnesses to prove his contention
that the railroads are not managed in a
scientific, businesslike manner. Mr.. Bran
deis declared that the proposed rate in
creases were neither just nor reasonable,
and that greater efficiency would yield
greater income to the railroads. He said
the railroads should cooperate to. reduce
costs instead of combining to increase
rates. He described what he said was a
huge field for the application of scientific
management and pictured the rich fruit
in economies and improved service which
might be expected to result, economies
which it is estimated, he said, would ag-
gregate more than S1000,00 day.
