Mr.. Hewington had hoped, now
there was no longer necessity for
Adele to propitiate this person, that
she would politely but effectually put
an end to their brief friendship. In
his own tactful way Mr.. Hewington
stated as much.

So early the next morning, before

stopped to inquire whether or not he
was violating professional ethics or
intruding on personal privacy. He
knew that Bob Driscoll would most
likely be. found either at his club or

Feb. 8, 1895, and departed this life at
the home in Maquon. ILL.,, Tuesday
evening, May 8. Three weeks ago he

arriving home he took his bed, from
which he never arose, pneumonia soon

boy, the pride and life of the home.
In school he loved his associates, who
were grieved to learn that he was
failing. This year he finished his work
in the eighth grade. At the age of 10
years he united with the NJ. e. church
at Chatsworth, Ill, and lived a Chris
tian life until the end.
Since, living in Maquon Arthur has
been faithful in his duty as librarian

Bell of Galesburg, Ill. Interment was

Mr.. Hewington was content that

Mr.. Devine was seeing to that. Be
sides, there were more cheerful things
to occupy Mr. Hewington's mind. He
had learned only half hour before Of
some very good news. Hewington
Acres was no longer owned, even tenn
porari1y, by another. In some way or
Dther the estate had been restored In
tact to his daughter. He had not
grasped the details. of this fortunate
" that young Mr.. WaIloway had been
largely instrumental in clearing up
the difficulty Adele had mentioned
him. He was an excellent young man,
Nicholas Waaloway. True, his family
was not Of precolonial origin, but it
was well enough established as fam
Lies went nowadays. And he was so
distinctly superior to such young men
as this Cherub Device, who had his
good traits doubtless, but who was so
lacking In the finer instincts. 1t might
be well to talk the subject over with
Adele.
He could have found no topic better
suited to the mood In which he found
the countess that evening. Her brown
eyes seemed to glow with a rapt ra-
dance at the first mention OF the Cher
ub's name.
