BOB'S
INSPIRATION.
How Light In Window Caused
a Villains Downfall.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.

Copyright, 1910. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
His name was Robert Bryce. He
was an attorney, and the law of pat
Pnts was the field wherein he reaped
Rn excellent harvest of fees. His
friends called him Lucky Bob"
a man would naturally prefer TO
have his successes credited TO his abil-
ity rather than to his luck, yet it was
not for this reason that Bryce disliked
his nickname. 1t offended him because
it was lie. The fates had done him
an i'll turn, and all their favOrs were
but mockeries.
Three years ago, when Bryce was
twenty-sx. he met Martin L. Randall,
who paid him we'll for Il small profess
sional service. The money came just
in the nick of time, for Bryce was
struggling hard to get foOthold in in
dependent practice. Randall was a
ests of various kinds, involving the use
of patented machinery and the making
of patented articles. He took a fancy
to Bryce, intrusted him with important
affairs, kept him in funds. advised him
in the investment of his surplus, in
vited him to his home.
Friendship sprang up between the
men despite the great difference in
their years. They were constantly
seeR-togethcr. 1t was current talk that
pprpn'c Far 10 hiS anl-
lege nickname, Lucky Bob, was heard
again on the lips of his associates.
On his first visit to Randall's home
Bryce dined with the family, only one
of whom had drop of blood in com
mon with Randall. This was his sis
ter, widow and childless. The others
were a Mrs. Loring and her daughter
Amy and young man named Ballard
Dillon. Randall had been cavalry
officer in the civil war and in those
Mrs. Loring was the widow Of COM
rade in arms. Dillon was the son of
another. The lady had been left with
some small means in trust with Ran
dali. Dillon was penniess orphan
who had fallen into the lap of luxury.
Amy Loring was not yet eighteen
when Bryce first saw her. She
seemed to him very pretty and well
bred girl and nothing more.
The first warning that Bryce re-
ceived came from Randall at the
house one evening. Amy and Dillon
happened to be standing together in a
good light and accidentally posed with
some artistic value.
"A handsome couple" said Randall,
who was an admirer of personal beau
ty, like most other people who have
been blessed with share of it.
1t was not long after this that Ran
dali conveyed to Bryce definitely the
intelligence that Amy and Dillon were
intended for each other. Increasing
misery was Bryces portion from that
hour, and the word ''lucky" coupled
with his name was bitter mockery.
There may be many reasons why a
woman should not marry man though
she loves him. There is no reason
why she should marry him if she

srtempt It seemed now doubly futile
since the mans exposure had already
begun. Beyond a doubt the path of
Bryce's love now lay open before him,
and he read success in Amy's eyes.
The time had mol come for words, but
the hearts of these two lovers spoke to
each other in the warm shadows thrill
ing with wildwood scents beady as
wine.
1t happened that the Cliff was taxed
to its capacity and Bryce must seek
accommodation elsewhere. After din
ner, therefore, he took a rowboat and
pulled across TO a neighboring hotel
the Vale.
As Bryce rowed along in the dark
ness he could see a certain light on
a veranda of the Cliff. 1t was a bright
lantern on a table before the door of
Amy's room. If LIE held true course
the corner of the hotel would cut this
light OFF from Bryce's view, but by
keeping a very little outside the line
he could have 1t to look at, and he
amused himself by just preserving his
beacon from eclipse. His meditations
were Of the most agreeable character,
but they were rudely interrupted by

"A HANDSOME COUPLE" SAID RANDALL.
loves him not. All debts are Cancelled,
all gratitude vanishes. the wisdom of
wise counselors is folly, the dictates
of worldly prudence are as rash as
madness. if they urge toward marriage
without love.
Such was Bryce's philosophy, and
you may imagine his feelings at the
spectacle presented in Randalps home.
Mrs. Loring and Randall were crea-
lures of Interchangeable decision. They
had decided upon this marriage long
ago. The idea of it had grown into
their bones. AS for Amy, she had
known Dillon since her childhood and
had liked him and disiked him and
quarreled with him and made it up.
The girl eXerted strong attraction
upon Dillon, and there We're moments
when he fancied himself deeply in
love with her These were the mo-
mcnts of encouragement when he
seemed to see way out of the trou-
bles into which he had fallen of late
years through course of elaborate
duplicity and secret extravaganza.
For the most part he had too many
worries to think Of love. His pillow
was not haunted by images of beauty.
He saw Shylocks and shysters and the
wolfish faces of third rate Wall street
brokers. and even the helmeted po-
iceman and grim visaged jailer fig
ured in the worst of his visions.
