 For a time the Murphys heard that Keith was being introduced under the wing of the Forbes. Then they began to hear his name mentioned among the people and in the society notes inde- pendently of his introducers. and 1t was not long before they learned that which travels on the wings of the wind. Keith was rich. He had be come interested in certain western speculations with Mir. Forbes and the two had made money together. Then came rumor that Keith was to marry Miss Alice Forbes.
 Up to this time the Murphys had merely wondered. Now they were astonished. And over Mary Murphy came a wave of regret.

He devoted himself to business. his only recreation being driving four-in- hands. and this was supposed to be in memory of experiences of former days.
