CHAPTER XIII.
Jimmy Muffs the Ball.

1t will sometimes happen that
young gentlemen, skipping confident,
oven under their lucky star, will get a
fall. Fortune had been too constant
to Jimmy not to be ready to turn her
tickle face away the moment he
wasn't looking. But such is the rash
ness born OF success and a bounding
heart, that young blood leaps to its
doom. smiling, as it were, on the
faithless lady's back.
Jimmy had no forebodings, but riot
ed gorgeously in returning health, in
a whole pack Of new emotions, and in
what he supposed to be his lady's IA
vor. Aleck, more philosophical, took
hts happiness with a more quiet
gusto. not provoking the frown of the
gods. But for Jim the day OF reckon
ing was coming.
One day Aleck Joined him, walking
up and down the porch. Jim was in
n of his boyish, cocksure moods.

he began. before Aleck could spring

Nope"

you do the same thing yourself? Then

As the two men talked, Agatha and
Melanie. both dressed in white,
strolled side by side down the garden
path toward the wall. They were
deep in conversation, their backs
turned toward the veranda.
II don't e that they look so much
alike" announced Jim. who had but
recently learned all the causes and
effects OF the Chatelard business.

"And then Melanie and I are going

"You couldn't get nae aboard any

WHAT CAUSED THE AGONY
Voluminous Telegram From Wife
Worse to Merchant Than a Break
in the Market.

The merchant uttered a sharp ex-
clamation and sank back into his
chair. A telegram fell from his shak-
ing hand. His eyes were wide, his
face white, beads of per%spiration stood
on his brow.
The men in the outer office whis-
pered among themselves.

note" said another.
I've heard rumors of that kind. We
fellows will have to be looking for
another place"
Get to work; he's coming to again."
The merchant wiped his brow,
fetched a despairing sigh, picked up
the paper from the floor, frowned and
stamped his foot, as If to summon all
his resolution, placed the telegram on
his desk and forced himself to read
the bitter message. This was it:
Dearest James: Please send the
waist for my gros grain suit at once.
You will remember the one, as it has
revers on the frontage and chained
stitched bases on the back. 1t is in
the lower trunk in the closet beside
the hall room, under your winter over
coat. If not there, it must be in the
sealed box on the third shelf in the
front closet. If you don't find
it there, it must be somewhere else.
The trunk keys are in the second bu-
e a drawer unless they were put In

keys are in a vase on one of the man.

wrinkle it, and, oh! James, please do
not swear!
