chance to eat my dinner.

you're not. You're going as the
representative Of our army to observe

II won't mind anything that gives
me your companionship."
80 it's settled" he said. Then we
went in TO dinner.
Courtney is a good fellow, one Of the
best friends a man can have; well
born, rich. with powerful political con-
nections in both parties and having no
profession or necessary occupation to
tie him down. His tastes raj to d.
plomacy, and secretaries of state know
ing this fact and being further advised
of ii 1t various times by certain prom
inent senators, had given him numer-
Gus secret missions to both Europe and
South America.

representative at the court Of Valera.

running. He could hear the swift pat
ter of feet. She came straight to him
where he stood. He had not dared to
run toward her.
81 heard-I followedr' she gasped
and the next moment was sobbing In
his arms.
All bis talk to her for 4 long time
was incoherent, babbling Of love and
remorse. Then he held her close.
Little girl" he said, I've learned in
the world outside. I've learned many
things But this-this I've learned bit
terly and forever. There's love of
fame and of power and Of mere beau
ty, but there's only one love after all.
That's the love that gives all, is all.
That's my love for you and the love
l think you have for me. 1t is ours
that love. oh, my sweetheart, how we
will cherish 1t all the years through"
After a time he drew her down on
the steps, and they sat in silence
through long minutes, listening to the
muted calling of the crickets in the
grasses, the rustic of the river current,
all the soft noises Of the summer night.
Then be ~bethought himself and drew
Madeleine P~resson's letter from his
pocket He gave tito her with a word
of explanation.
Looking into his eyes, her W eyes
brilliant as stars, she slowly tore the
letter to bits and scattered the snowy
fragments upon the grass.
"a woman does know" she said;
knows without reading what some
other woman writes. l do not need
her words, big boy. / know of my
W heart. / knew long ago. l lis
tened too readily to others. / have lis
tened to my own love since. / have
been waiting for you to come"
After another silence which needed
no words to interpret it he rose and
lifted her to her feet. With his arm
about her he walked to his horse. He
mounted and drew her up, and she
chung to him rs maid to knight.
$50 to your father now" he told her.
"But not to speak to him harshly,"
she said. a ripple of merriment in her
voice, "for I'll tell you a secret. He
did not try to stop me when 1 ran
away. He ever called after me, He's
turned in at the church, you wild ban
sheer They have told him things that
have given him new respect for Har-
Ian Thornton. But your grandfather"
HE has learned that my love is my
W affair, along with my politics"
LET me do my part, Harlan" she
said proudly. Love will light the
waiting, and it will not seem waiting.
When / take my place at your side he
shall not be able to say that l am not
the wife for you"
"Its enough for me tonight that I
love you and you love me. The years
must take care Of themselves. Love
will mark off the calendar for us. lit
tie sweetheart, not in months or in
years, but in one dear summer of wait
ing that will make work worth while
and life worth living"
He patted the horses neck, and they
went slowly up the road toward the
Kavanagh house. their arms about each
other. the gracious dusk hiding them.
Life's future hid its problem. Loves
present was enough.

w. L. Washington Explains
Pass Kew and Papers Episode.

William Lanier Washington denied yes
terday the statements made by Atwood
Violet. his former partner in the firm Of
Atwood Violet & Co, IN his answer TO
the $4,000 Islander suit brought against
him by Mr.. Washington. Mr.. Violet said
that Dir. Washington, after retirement
from the firm, used a pass key to enter
the Office and took certain papers, try
Ing later TO obtain IS, go from Mr.. Violet
on pain OF submitting the papers TO the
Cotton Exchange to show certain alleged
violations OF the exchange rules by the
Violet concern
These statements are absolutely with
out truth" said Mr.. Washington, land
l purpose TO hold Mr. Violet 10 strict
accountability in the courts for them
He had q contract with the firm Mr.
Washington explained, which still had
seven months TO run when he left the
firm. and he demanded 1850 at the rate
OF $500 month. which had been his draw
ing account under the contract. He agreed
that IL he made that amount of money
elsewhere during the remainder OF the
term OF the contract he would return the
$500 Mr.. Washington said he always
had access TO the papers of tho office, and
as partner also had a pass key. but
never made use of IL at night. And as for
the papers he is said 10 have. he had
possession OF those before his trouble
with Mr.. Violet.
Mr.. Washington has statements from u
Wicklffe Throckmorton, until recently a
member Of the firm, and Campoel w
Seward. another partner. which excui-
pate him of wrongdoing. He also has a
letter from EVERY NJ. Davis. attorney Tor
the firm, who was present at the meeting
where William Travers Jerome, as coun~
sci for Mr. Violet, Is said to have ed-
vlsed action against Mr.. Washington for
alleged attempted eXtortion. Mr.. Davis's
letter said IN part:
do not see how Wsshingtons integrity
could come into question. Hts attitude
might have been called obstinately Puri-
tanical In his unwillingness to compro-
mise and in his adherence TO what he
claimed was right but It was the re-
hottest thing possible from that of black.
mail. Mr.. Washington was not guilty or
the slightest moral o6llQueness.
