CHAPTER XVI.

Dameron, whose mind was singular
ly prosaic, had of late been reading in
to his speculations a certain poetic
quality, though he did not suspect 1t.
He had never been a farmer and had
only the most superficial knowledge of
farming. Yet he had studied all sum-
mer long the growth of the corn in his
own fields at The Beeches. He had
reckoned the rainfall of the region and
compared it with the figures given in
books Of statistics for other years He
covered hundreds of sheets of paper
during the long summer days with
computations, and played with them as
boy with the knack of rhyming plays
at tagging rhymes. He cherished first
the idea that the year would be mark
ed by excessive rainfalls which would
be detrimental to the corn crop, and
when the government bulletins failed
to bear him out in this he assured him
self that the year would be marked by
late frosts that would destroy the crop
over a wide area. He proved to his
own satisfaction, by means of the ta-
bles he had compiled, that dollar corn
was inevitable.
This idea took a strong hold upon his
Imagination. 1t was fascinating, the
thought Of playing a great game In
which the sun and winds and clouds
OF heaven were such potent factors.
There was a keen satisfaction in the
fact that he could study the whole
matter from the secure vantage ground
Of his own Office. and that when he
went home at night, there II was across
the road from his own gate, under his
eye. the beloved corn. tall and rustling,
beautiful and calm, but waiting for the
hand Of the destroyer. Even this, his
own. should perish. and yet he was
accommodating scraps Of paper that
called for thousands Of bushels Of corn
at a time when It would grieve many
short-sighted men sorely TO deliver it
to him

CHAPTER xY.

Ezra Dameron had never been hap
pier than during this summer. His life
had run for years an eventless course;
his interests had been small and he
had been content to have them so. But
since the gamblers passion had fixed
its gives upon him he had become a
changed being. He walked with a
quicker step; his dropping shoulders
grew erect; he was new man, living
in a new paradise that folly was con-
structing for him. He enjoyed the
farm greatly, rising betlmes to direct
the work Of his laborers. He permit
ted Zelda to drive him in her runabout
to the interurban station-a conces-
sion in itself significant Of a greater
difference to the comfort and ease of
living.
Jack Balcomb's fiat scheme had hung
fire during the spring, with only half
the stock of the Patoka Land and I'm
provement Company sold; but Balcomb
had taken 1t up again. determined TO
carry 1t through. Dameron always In
sisted, when Balcomb approached him,
that he did not care to sell the tract
on the creek which the promoter COW
eted; but he never rebuffed Balcomb
entirely II had occurred to Dameron
that Balcomb might be Of use to him.
The young man was, moreover. a new
species, who talked of large affairs in
an intimate way that fell in we'll with
Dameron's new ideas of business, and
he accepted Balcomb at as high a val
uation as he ever placed upon any one.
Balcomb called one day at the dingy
Office in the Dameron Block.
Good morning Mr.. Dameron," he
said. Your office is positively cool. You
ought to advertise 1.-THE coolest place
in the city. That's what I'd do If
had It"
He eyed a decrepit chair by Damer-
on's desk, sat down in it with misgiv-
ings, and famed himself with his
straw hat, whose blue ribbon, 1t may
be said, was Of exactly the same tint
as his shirt and socks.
You are very prompt, Mr.. Balcomb.

night hasn't put you to inconvenience"
Don't worry about me! I fatter

when to come, and a word from a man
of your standing is enough for a novice
like me. There's a disposition all along
the line to crowd out old men, but |

sentiment, Mr.. Balcomb."

They began retracing their steps
Zelda walking beside Pollock, to whom
she talked with unusual vivacity. She
did not speak to Leighton again until
the two young men said goodnight al
the veranda.
What did you treat him that way
for?" demanded Olive, facing Zelda In
the hall as soon as the door closed.
What are you talking about? The
moon must have"
TT wasn't the moon You said
something unkind to Mr.. Leighton. He
walked back to the house with rue
without saying a word. You shouldn't
treat a man that way, even If you are
my cousin-a fine, splendid fellow like
Morris Lelghton!"
You foolish. sentimental young
thing, what on earth has got into you?
Mr.. Leighton talked to me about Wag-
ner-I think 1t was Wagner, and he
didn't interest me a bit. I'm going to
bed"
She went to her room and closed and
locked the door. Then she drew back
the curtains and looked out upon the
night Through an opening in the trees
together in the highway outside the
gate. Pollock had walked out leading
his horse and he stood for greater ease
in talking to Leighton. The men were
clearly outlined, for it was as light as
day. Suddenly they shook hands; then
they lifted their hats to each other.
Pollock mounted his horse and rode off
rapidly countryward and Leighton
turned toward the interurban station
1t was Lelghton's solitary figure that
Zelda's eyes followed. She saw him
pause Just at the edge of a strip Of
woodland, glance toward the house, and
then walk slowly away, while her eyes
still rested on the spot where she had
seen him last.
1t was a sweet thing to know that
Morris Leighton loved her She had
felt that it would come some time; 1t
was one Of the inevitable things; and
his reference to her singing, to the
dream, had thrilled her with an ex-
Quisite delight. Any woman might be
proud of a love like this; yet she had
treated it lightly, almost insolently;
and good woman might not lightly
thrust aside the love of a good man!
She was still gazing with unseeing
eyes upon the moonlit world when Oh !

attended them is certainly promising.
