A HOUSE OF CARDS.
(By Mrs. B. Lurie.)
Part II.
CHAPTER II.

The sudden message from Mr..
Clemens was the first element that
had arisen to disturb her tranquility.
The very uncertainty Of the nature
of the trouble tended to exaggerate
her fears for her sons welfare. She
awaited with the utmost impatience
the arrival of the afternoon mail. Her
daughter, bringing her three children,
had put in an appearance before me

her mothers agitated state and tried
hard to divert her attention from her
present worries by judicious observa-
lions on the fine appearance of every
thing in general. The entire estab-
lishment betokened the scrupulous
and sbusiness-like care every detail re-
ceived from it's enterprising mistress.
Her daughters praise was no empty
flattery. When Bessie had inspected
and admired, not alone the business,
but the comfortable domestic arrange
ments, mother and daughter fell to
talking of the message OF the morn
ing

her head in token of distress at this
attitude on her mothers part She
longed to be considered less of an
outcast in the family's joys and sor-
rows. Another thing that troubles
me is that if there is something really
bad the matter I'd hate for Mr. Win

Mrs. Winthrop in tone of cheer

conversation, both were relieved to
hear the postmans whistle. Mrs

blingly took the letter handed to her
She gave her grandchildren a pair

hard to regain ner own COmpOSure.
She knew this was no time for violent
display of emotion. If anything was
to be done the two women must re-
tain cool heads and clear judgment to
hit on the proper eXpedient. Mrs
Harris sat back in her chair and said
with an effort, alright, now tell me-"
Its not so bad as you may think,
mama. This letter is from farmer
in Neosho, where Simon is stationed,
telling Clemens and Disbrow that
their agent is nothing but common
gambler and had better be recalled"
Mrs. Harris gasped in astonished
horror. is that so?' she whispered.
Maybe there is some mistake, may
be it is some one else"
Mrs. Winthrop shook her head.
I'm afraid not. / wish | could think
so myself, but he has reference to
Simon Harris and no other. But may
be it's not so bad after ALL And it
might be case of spite, you know,
mama. Simon might not have paid

merchandise store in Neosho, as much
for his stuff as he wished. Those
things happen sometime"

as much astonished as the poor dis
tracted mother

the office tomorrow at noon. uon't

to talk to him, and if he has any
more bad news, God forbid, I'm sure
I'll faint right at his feet" She
looked so wan and stricken that Bes-
sic felt her mother was not exaggerat-
ing her mental state in the least. She
was afraid the collapse might occur
right then if she didn't think of some
thing to avert it before she left. After
some hard thinking she ventured to
say, Suppose you let me go in your
stead, mama"
Mrs. Harris started. She felt i'm
measurably relieved. ooh, if you only
would, you can't tell how thankful
I'd be. But how can you, Bessie.
There's your husbands dinner and the

But her daughters gesture waved
these objections aside. Never mind

CHAPTER III.

The next morning Mrs. Winthrop
rose earlier than usual in order to
make extra preparations for the I'M
expected trip. She knew the success
full outcome of her mission depended
on all the tact and diplomacy she
could muster. What she had told
her mother was the truth, but only
the veriest outline. More she feared
for her to know. The farmer mad
stated that Simon had lost heavily at
gambling and incidently that he was
sure it was the firms money he had
appropriated to pay his debts
So in fear and trembling, she start
ed for the office of Clemens and Dis
brow, after leaving her children at her
mothers. She soon found herself
in the commission district. The
scenes were very familiar to her and
brought back poignantly the days OF
her girlhood. The heads of many of
the firms had not yet gone to dinner
and greeted her in surprise as she
passed their doors. Since her mar
riage she had had no occasion to go
down amongst them. She threaded
her way daintily between trucks full
of egg cases, cabbage crates, butter
tubs, chicken-coops, hides, game and
she came to the most conspicuous
business firm in the district, the inn
posing establishment of Clemens and
Disbrow. She was shown to the pri-
vate office, where Mr.. Clemens re-
ceived her. AS he bowed over her
hand in greeting, the remembrance
of him came fully over her. He had
been dubbed the Dandy of the Row"
and the title still stuck. Many a
Beau Brummel could, with justice, en-
Wy the perfect manned and faultless
attire of this successful business man.
His associates came to look on him
as one above them. His reserve, his
unfailing courtesy were to them
things apart, to be admired but be-
You'd their powers of imitation. Alb
surdly enough, some of the more
thoughtful and possibly romantic con-
nected his ease of manner and grace
of person with royal blood. Be that
as it may, Mr.. Clemens bore, unmis-
takeably all the hallmarks of lineage
and good breeding, which are lament
ably conspicuous by their absence in
many business men. No one who met
him failed to be impressed with the
force of his mind and character Every
one deferred to his wishes.
AS Bessie Winthrop stood before
this typical American financier, this
aristocrat of the clean and clearcut
features, of the cool, steady eyes, OF
the silSen manner that nevertheless
gave one the impression of the cold
ness and inflexibility of steer, she
experienced a curious sinking sensa
tion of failure, If not possessing ade
uuate ability to cone with his iron
will.
She had seen him many times dur
ing the period of her employment IN
the district, but this was the first
time she had met him face to face

AS she glanced at him out of the
corner of her eye, she felt that her
brother was indeed fortunate to re-
ceive a business education under such
a master. The thought came like
flash, that at all hazards, Simons
trouble must be adjusted if possible,
and his position saved with the firm.
With wstful eye and faltering lip
she made known to him that she was
Simon's sister who had come in the
mothers stead. When she an
nounced that Mrs Harris was quite
overcome and did not feel equal to the
occasion, he looked at her long and
earnestly. Bess, poor thing, thought,
with doWncast eyes and blushing face,
that never had such an accusing
glance rested on a person before. If
she herself had appropriated the
money, she could not have felt more
ashamed and guilty. Meditating thus
miserably, she was startled to hear
his voice address her in tones of pc
culiar evenness and gentleness:
Were you not formerly bookkeeper
down in this district?"
Yes SIR" she replied in compete
surprise
Where are you employed now?"
continued the questioning voice
In her great excitement she had in
troduced herself merely as Simon's
sister. Her interlocutor naturally in
ferred that she was still single
"Oh, i am married." she blurted
out in confusion. Il am Mrs. Win
throp." More confused than ever, she
continued, and have three chill
dren."
Again that long searching glance.
A shade passed over his face as he
rose from his chair and walked the
length of the office several times be-
fore reseating himself. Bess was Won
dering of what he could be thinking.
Then he asked, How long since
your marriage?"

answered candidly. Her extreme agi-

tioning was assuming. A look of sur

Now followed lengthy inquiry into
the affairs of her mothers family,
their habits, sources of income, ex-
penditures, amusements, tastes and
ambitions. No detail escaped his
questioning. During this examination
