No Man Too Good to Work,

national bank did business inside. The
incongruity of the man and the work
caused inquiry and the discovery that the
president of the bank was also the JAM

He has been cleaning the windows
and the sidewalk every morning since the
bank started, five years ago. and when
the directors passed a resolution to en-

such extravaganza and protested that he

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Shirt Of the Ancient Wood.


Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon, was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to
bed and tucking her in, in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude, as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambleton's turn toward recovery.
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was, in truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayer's estate, spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing, laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay in
Ilion, Lizzie mad been dillgent enough
In gathering items of information, but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
Gus of any impending crisis during the
night. Her pompadour was marcelled
as accurately as If she were expect
ing a morning call from Mr.. Straker
No rustlings Of the wings OF the
Angel OF Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have
winked knowingly If his visit had
been announced to her. Her sophisti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tons. She noticed, however, that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets, and inquired If Miss Red
mond had been wakeful.
"Mr. Hambleton was very i'll. Every
body in the house was up till near
morning." replied Agatha rather
tartly.
"Oh, what a pity! Could have
done anything? never heard a
sound" cried Lizzie effusively.
mo, there was nothing you could
have DONE" said Agatha.

Redmond, staying up all night" went
on Lizzie solicitously. You're quite

Agatha let these adjurations go I'M
answered II occurred to Lizzie that
possibly she had allied herself with a
mistress who was foolish enough to
ruin her public career by private fol-
lies, such as worrying about sick peo-
pie. Heaven. in Lizzie's eyes, was the
glare of publicity; and since she was
unable 10 shine in it herself, she loved
to be attached TO somebody who could.
Her fidelity was based en- Agatha's
celebrity as a singer She would have
preferred serving an actress who was
all the rage, but considered popular
singer, who paid literally. as the next
best thing
There was always enough common
sense In Lizzie's remarks to make
some impression. even on person
capable OF the folly of mourning at a
'death-bed. Agathas spirits, freshened
by hope and the sleep Of health, rose
to buoyancy which was we'll able to
