unbelievable conduct in the most gen

mere freak of youthful folly.
But these things can't have cost all

and heartbroken HE must have

"Pianos are expensive" said I, "and
we don't yet know what the other
things are. Let's have a peep at this,
which seems to be intended for your

1t looked like some sort of chair,
and so 1t was-the most dilapidated,
the most pathetic, the most laughable

A card fastened upon it bore this let

fore the fifth day, and meanwhile
might observe Frank and try to solve
the riddle of his conduct
He seemed a good boy, but some
what secretive and mysterious. He
had built a little house for himself
at the rear edge Of the garden, and
though he lacked any direct instruction
In carpentry the work had a distinct
professional finish. There he spent
most of his leisure, working with tools
and often making salable articles, but
chiefly occupied with some invention,
his sister told me.
Frank would admit me to this house,
but not to its secrets. An end of its
single room was always screened Off.
l became more and more firmly con-
vinced that the solution of the whole
mystery lay behind that screen.
There was no way to get into the
little house unobserved in the daytime,
and at last l resolved upon a burglari-
Gus midnight entry.
Upon the evening which had select
ed for my amateur burglary Celia and
l sat little later than usual by the
fire, and it was some while past IL
when 1 crept out Of the silent house
and across the back garden and broke
into Franks den.
The first object that met my eye
when ! had removed the screen COM
pletely staggered me. 1t was an up
right piano covered in the usual way
for shipment, but absolutely unmis-
taxable. A placard was attached, and,
bending forward with my candle, l
read the words, Cecilia. from Uncle
Oliver"
There were several smaller objects
whose shape did not disclose their
nature. and | saw that Franks own
name was upon one of them. The boy
must have played Santa Claus with
his uncles money. But how had he

she Is now"
"She lives in a gentle dream" said
l. what was it that disturbed her
mindT
81 never knew" answered CeIa,
and after a moments pause, LET us
go back to the house."
Celia lighted the sitting room lamp
and bade me wait. She was gone only
few minutes and returned with an
enameled box, which she placed on the
table.
Il took this from her room while she
slept" said she. "Is it rightP
YES" said I. at seems right to
me-"
She opened the box, which contained
only some trif1ing keepsakes and
package Of letters tied with a faded
blue ribbon. at the top was the pink
envelope, at the bottom q letter post
marked more than twenty years ago,
upon the day of Oliver Garland's we'd
ding. The others had been received
within a year and half, perhaps a
dozen in all. None had been opened.
1t was the wedding date which
solved the riddle for me, revealing the
old, long hidden, sad romance. Gar
land had broken this woman's heart
and dethroned her mind. 1 already
knew that the man had married an
heiress.
His attempt to make Aunt Kate his
almoner was clumsy effort to as
suage his conscience. Upon her side
the gap of years was nothing. She had
laid the new letters with the old, I'M

I sat down that night and wrote to
Garland the mere facts, without my
explanation. Next day I began the
execution of counter joke upon Master
Frank. went across to Belfast, cashed
a check, bought piano and some other
things as near as possible to the line

them shipped across to me at the Har-
bor, but not sent to the house. wrote
an account of this matter to Garland,
from whom had had no word.
The days slipped by. On Dec. %
| received notification from the local
telephone office that some one wished
to speak with me. 1t proved to be
Manning, the Belfast banker.
THAT check has come back no good"
said he.
For heavens sake, why?" de
manded.
''It cost me $1S in telephone tolls to
find out" said he, "but 1 know now.
Garland has gone to smash and has
skipped. Present whereabouts un-

I returned at once to the house and

Between
Ourselves

Hudson Maxim, the inventor, in
a recent article in n of the
Hearst papers. laid down various
rules for success. One of them
was:
Learn to do many diametrical-
ly opposite things, and do them
well. Cultivate a taste for scien-
tifc Investigation, poetry, art and
music. This will prevent life
from getting stale. A versatile
man never gets blase."
Doing Numerically opposite
things has made Mr.. Maxim the
famous man he is today. We be-
lieve in departing from the
beaten path once in a while,
when we feel that by doing so we
are accomplishing some perma-
nent good. We like to do different
things and DO THEM WELL,
and we like to see OTHER
STORES do the same. Variety
is the spice of life-the very
LIFE OF TRADE. The store
that does Numerically opposite
things once in a while, and, as
Maxim says. docs them WELL"
is the store that succeeds.
