truth was in it. She secured all she
could find in print about her father and
read 1t behind the locked door of her

his ends over all who had opposed him.
The pictures these cases drew were of

the articles frequently called him, an

fortune was the loot of a master

The article seemed woven Of fact, but
she could not accept them unsubstan-

she, her fathers daughter, could not

She went away feeling that the whole

And what should be her attitude toward

he drove himself in and was carried to

dared open 1t, for he expected reproof-

reproof. When he drew the letter from
its envelope an Enclosure fell 'unheeded

found this:

CHAPTER XXI.

WHEN David handed Helen Cham
w bers into the cab she had not
spoken to him, had not even said Thank
you" and had rolled away without
so much as giving him a backward
glance. He felt certain that she was
deeply offended, and his conviction
grew as day after day passed with
brutal on his part and the Mayors
to strike her so. He felt that she
must detest him for doing it, and
especially for trapping her into de-
nouncing her father.
But there were other things to be
thought of during these days. There
was his future, upon which, uncertain
as it was, he saw that Lillian Drew
was to be a parasite: for she had
made another call-while Kate was
out of the office; he was thankful for
that-and had carried away the larg-
er fraction of his small store of
money. He was again face to face
with q difficulty which he had been
able to surmount before only with, as
IL were. his last gasping effort What
he should do he had no idea. But

CHAPTER Xxx (Continued)

TN THE cab she sat with the same
stricken look upon her face. She
had, as David had once said to the
Mayor always regarded her father
as a man of highest honor. She had
never felt concerned in his business
affairs, or any business affairs, despite
the fact that her interests overreached
in so many directions the boundaries of
the usual interests of women, and de-
spite the fact that her heart was in
various material conditions which buSl-
ness had created and which business
could relieve.
Seen from the intimate viewpoint of
home, her father was generous and
kind. She had heard of the reports that
circulated in tfe distant land of bust
ness, and she had glanced at some of
the articles that had appeared in years
past in magazines and newspapers, and
she was aware that stories were then
current. The conception she carried of
her father had given the silent lie to all
these reports. AS David had said, she
believed they sprang from jealousy, or
false information, or a distorted view
They had troubled her little, save to
make her indignant that her father was
so maligned: and then this Indignation
had been tempered with a philosophic
mildness, for she had remembered that
since the world began il had been the
fate of every man of superior purpose,
or superior parts, or superior fortune, to
be misunderstood and to be hated.
But, all of a sudden, her conception
of her father was shattered. This thing
he had indubitably done was certainly
not without the legal law, and perhaps
not wholly without the cold lines of the
moral; but 1t was hard-hearted brutal
The man who would do that would
do anything" she said to David: and all
