ashamed. am-indeed am. Thoroughly
intended to come last Friday evening, and
| counted on tonight; but just little bit
ago"
"Robley," interrupted Mrs. Van Kirk,
meantime gazing in rapt admiration on
Thurley at the wheel, Il really cannot con-
sent to another excuse this evening"

ply. If it weren't for the kindness Of"
He turned to Thurley. Mrs. Van Kirk,
Miss Samaritan" He purposely mumbled
fusion.
Thurley and Mrs. Van Kirk exchanged a
conventional murmur.
Broken your wrist" said the latter in
genuine sympathy, but studying Thurley
with penetrative eyes. Dear me! That is
simply CHASTITY! thought you looked bit
peaked. Why, Robley, this is serious! I'm
tremendously sorry. Isn't there something
l can do? If you'd rather should drive you
home"
Thanks, no." he interrupted blandly
" But trust my excuse is valid for tonight"
Mrs. Van Kirk hardly heard what he said,
so intent was her inspection of the girl at
Stuyverant S side. Never in her life, she felt,
had she seen young woman more beautiful,
more Astounding in possibilities, more desir-
able as an asset-a magnet for lifeless
drawing room. She was busily wondering
who and what she could be, what relation
ship she bore to Stuyverant, and where he
could possibly have found her. The party
of the evening had slipped from her mind for
the moment.
Your excused" she echoed. valid? In
deed it is! My poor dear boy, its cruel of me
to keep you here waiting like this! But at
least you'll come to see me? You don't
walk on your wrist. Both of you come-do
come soon! You'll be out of it, Robley,
driving your car, riding everything. Do
come and let me supply little pleasure.
Goodby. I'll expect you soon."
She nodded and smiled at Thurley quite
as much as at Robley Stuyverant. Then
once again her landau rolled along to the
jngling of silver on the trappings. The car
with Thurley at the wheel proceeded on its
way.

the light of his cOuntenance made me feel
that was at home in palace. In him,
believe we have the object of our quest"
Old Gobson studied long time. He rose
and walked up and down the room. He
opened the drawer and took out the plan of
the temple, looked at it, turned away, then
came back, and said, ITO that poor fellow
the Temple of the Soul shall be dedicated.
He is an example of pure unselfshness."
And it is your desire" said Hackett,
that his name shall not perish, that in gold
it shall glow upon the temple?"
Yes, and tomorrow will begin work"
How much is the temple to cost?"
Zone hundred thousand dollars"
TO keep a name from perishing. But
what has been done to keep the man himself
from perishing? Why not look upon him
good by giving the money to him?"
Old Gobson clapped Hackett on the Shout
der. That suggestion shall be worth five
thousand dollars to you. Yes, he shall have
the money. Tomorrow we go to see him"
Early the next morning Gobson and Hack
EFT were walking briskly along the street,
when a man turned and said to his COM
pamon,. why, what's going to happen!
Old Gobson is laughing"
TT was near noon on the following day
when Gobson and Hackett drove up to
the humblest house in the county. An old
man came out and invited them in. They
thanked him, got out of the buggy, and
followed him. In the sitting room, al
most bare of furniture, were two boys and
sweet faced old woman. She smiled at the
visitors and placed chairs for them. The
host recognized Hackett. The detective in
PRODUCED Gobson. Gobson looked about the
room, at the boys, at the woman, at the old
man, Silas Tobin. Never before had he seen
so tender, so refined, countenance.
"You don't appear to have much of a
farm here" said Gobson, looking through
the window at the worn and quilted land.

it is of no use to complain. Until year or

and pretended to blow his nose II see you

said
Eyes, a very few now" Silas sadly replied.
"Once had pretty fair library; but my
wife was taken i'll, and couldn't leave her
in order to earn my regular half wages in the
fields. Books had to 60, one by one. But
they kept us from starving, and l shall al
ways thank them for that"
During this time the woman had been
spreading the table for dinner. To Silas she
made a sign, and turning to the visitors he
said:
Come, gentlemen, and share Our meal
They sat down to the table. The meal
consisted only of bread and potatoes.
Best potatoes ever ate in my life!" de-
clared Gobson. And this bread! Why,
you couldn't beat it in any city! Thank you !;

"In many years, should think" Hackett
answered.
MANY years." cried Gobson. "And
beg your pardon for undue haste, Mr.. Tobin;
but we have to get back to the station to
catch a train. And here, sir, is an envelop
that you must not open until we are gone. :"
He gave Tobin an envelop and fastened
out of the house, followed by Hackett, who
could hardly keep pace with him; and as
they were driving along the road old Gobson
cried:
"Hackett, you simpleton, this is the hap
piest day of my life!"

hope was not inexcusably bold"
"Oh, pleased he pleaded. PLEASE be
more kind to pure, uncalculating spirit of
humanism, if not to me. 1t was my wrist
that was impaired, not my discernment."
Thurley made no Immediate reply. APP
parently all her faculties were focused on the
car. They rode for a time in silence.
W/HAT a splendid team-those horses!"
she presently exclaimed, partly to re-
heve situation that she felt was becoming
hard to sustain. They're beauties!'
The team in question was approaching in
the road far ahead. They were glossy bays,
each with white feet that rose and fell in per-
feet unison to the tinkle and ringing of the
silver equipment on the harness. They were
driven to a landau of dark maroon, with
coachman and footman in white, maroon
and black. On the cushions, alone and dis
contented, sat woman we'll toward thirty
five, in the costliest of furs, and infinitely
bored with all the world.
The man at Thurley' S side glanced quickly
from her face to the carriage they were about
to encounter. "Oh-I wonder if you I'd mind
stopping he asked her hurriedly, lust for
half a mOment!'
Thurley Immediately threw out the clutch
and applied the brake.
The woman in the landau had not only
seen them approaching and recognized the
owner of the car, but was gracefully waving
him to halt. Her carriage rolled up beside
the big machine.
We'll, Robley Stuyverant!" she said, as
he raised his cap. Il see you are in town
after all-perhaps prepared to give me few

She was a beautiful woman, in some
what artificial manner, despite a certain
srriallness of her features.

the community is aristocratic the
church is proud. What more can You
