The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-27

haps you think money is made nowz~ days just out of fool theoriesP' A. l interrupted his flow of abuse to point out that 1 had come solely to re- mind him of his promise to Manuel for saving his life, and that but for that ! should not have called upon him, but gone about my business of turning the searchlight of publicity upon his real estate holdings quite as cheerful1y as though he had been total stranger And at this he began to raise signals of ] distress, and to attempt to justify him< self by blaming his agent. "Of course I'll send Mrs. Souza home" he added. "I'd have done it be- fore if I'd have known where to look for her. I'm man who always calcu~ lates to pay my just debts"
 And likewise exact payment with q pound of hesh," thought, but did not make the comment. IF
 Mrs. Landscam had been sitting during this conversation with her eyes riveted upon her husband in a manner that finally attracted my attention. thought that could detect surprise, humiliation, and some new purpose flash over her face in turn, and was not unprepared for what followed. She arose from her chair and, after moments effort at self-control, turned her back contemptu- ously upon Mr. Landscam and said to me:
 "If you will take me will go tq Maria Soa1za at once. I am very glad that you had the courage to come herq and speak plainly, for otherwise should never have known. You may do as yora think best about writing up Mir. Land< seams tenements but whether you do SO or not, l can promise you that the wrongs you have found viii be ri1hted' '+
 She turned upon her husband suddenly with fury quite beside her former self control. Do you realize what you have been doing all these yearsP she cried You have been robbing and cheating these people at our very doors, while l have been posing as a worker for fors eign missions. No wonder that you havd never allowed me to meddle in you'd business affairs r
 Landscam, apparently taken quite by surprise at this outbreak on the pare of his domestic partner, tried weakly 10 offer an explanation, but she disregarded him and swept from the room to make ready for her visit to the tenemeuts.
 Of course our appearance thera created a mild sensation, because the. Portuguese family with whom Maria Souza had found refuge had spread the tidings of her good fortune far and wide among their countrynens and srnil- ing faces greeted us upon every land ing as we made our way to the top of [ the block. And I felt certain, if I read Mrs. Landscam's face aright, that her coming USheTe0 m new era TOT Ci1aE particular s1t1rn that had grown up undeE her husbands avarice.
 Mrs. Souza had been crying since left her, but her proud old face gave us an eager welcome that was not to be- mistaken, and the necessary arrange ments for sending her home by the first boat were concluded In short order through an interpreter called in from one of the neighboring tenenents.
 We drove from the court directly to telegraph office in order to send the good news to Manuel by cable Whom should we encounter there but Josiah B. Landscan, his soHg-fyoid quite re- covered, bi1sily engaged in writing upon a telegraph blank.
 "Thought I would send word right over to Ponta Delgada," he explained ! when he noted our presence. How does this strike your?
 I took the paper from his hand and | read:
 @To Manuel Silva, Ponta Delgada. 5
 Azore Island
 'Have found your grandncther. Win s"'p Y "J. B. LAnDscAM"
 We rewrots the eabisgram before sending it.
