ontwit these plotters. Whisper, dear"
and the interview wound up in an ex-
cursion to a near by city. and then
Vane went back to his work.
About that same time, 800, In a
gleeful chuckling way Lawyer Thack-
er informed MIR. Trench that the
track was clear" that young Denslow
had broken" with his fancee, and
everything was coming their way"
"Their way" meant the introduce
ton one evening at the sumptuous
Trench home of Vane to his uncle's
ward, Miss Dolly Nellis. Vane found
her to be a dear little doll of child,
who knew little Of the world except
seminary life and her dear. dear girl
friends! Old Trent chuckled gaily as
he managed to leave them alone in
the garden. He rubbed his hands
gleefully. 1t meant a good many
thousands year to him to keep the
Nellis estate In the family.
Dolly made sure that her guardian
was out Of hearing as she sat down
on rustic bench. She was very pref
ty, had a gentle, confiding nature,
but was gushing and somewhat affect
ed. She clasped her hands suddenly
and fixed her dove-like eyes on yane.
''Mr. Denslow," she whispered in
fluttering tone, ARE we all, all alone?"
81 think we are. Miss Nellis." re-
piled Vane wonderingly.
Can l tell you dreadful, dread
full secret?" she wavered.
II shall be honored by your conf
dence," intimated Vane.
"Then-then, oh, dear! hope 1t
won't break your heart, but II am
engaged"
Il must congratulate you"
ooh, am so glad!" gushed the fair
Dolly. you are all that Guardy said,
a splendid handsome young man. but
have promised my dearest school
girl friend, Nettie Danvers. to marry
her dear brother, Reginald. and think
how disappointed she would be If
you musnt-don't think Of it," ad-
vised Vane forcibly. 81 see you know
of Mr.. Trench's scheme to have me
marry your fortune. will tell you a
secret, dear Miss Nellie. am already
married"
IT could almost kiss you for de-
light" cried Dolly 81 will your wife.
when I meet her. Oh. am SO hap
py!"
When old man Trench learned how
his nephew had outwitted him through
secret marriage to LEONE at the
time his emissary Thacker was plot
ting to separate them, he wrote an
awful letter to Vane.
In dignified way the latter in
formed him that the business he had
given him barely made up for what
he had robbed his father of. II. how
ever, Trench. Thacker 6 Co. felt that
they had in any way been circum-
vented, resulting in loss to their
prospects, Yane would set aside the
profits o. the business he had man
aged to build M wonderfully, and
would restore the original investment
to his money loving relative.
Trench quieted down after this. As
to Dolly and Reginald, they eloped
under the very nose of the old man.
so it was dire retribution for the
crafty schemers all around.

opened steady, with first prices points

for consideration Of S65, $50. The
property is improved with a three

Of the old buildings on the present
Third National Bank building site and
from the structures on the property
now occupied by The Atlanta Journal
and built "A three story building on the
entire property at a cost Of about $55.-

NOrcross at the southwest corner Of
Fairie and James for $40, 200. The tot
tai cost was accordingly 100000 and
the profit is S65, 600.
This trade hung fire some time on

surpassed This was In January and
February, 1909, when the total reached

The big figures in 1909 were due to q
