CHAPTER VII.
A New Ledger.

Five steady, solemn strokes rang out
from the clock on the mantel. Valentine
Black, humble clerk H. the Boston bank
ing house of Sardis &; Co., started out
of a maze of troubled thought, and
pushing back his chair. rose up from
the round table, like man waking
from sleep. But he had not slept.
Somewhere in the wee sma' hours,
after long, a very long, talk with her
nephew, Aunt Affry had hobbled away
to take a little repose, but not Val. He
had been listening to strange revela-
ton, to the unfolding Of secret. kept
religiously for years, and his head was
in a whirl, his mind full of amazement
confusion, perplexity. All night long he
had sat there, unmindful Of the pass
ing hours--a most unusual circum-
stance, for this happy -go-lu lucky fellow
was not given to solitary vigils or
midnight meditations. His habits were
regular, his conscience clear.
AS he arose now from the table his
the paragraph which had agitated Miss
Affry so much on the preceding even
ing. He caught it up in hurried,
guilty way. tore it in strips and tossed
it into the fireless stove; then went
over to the window, drew up the white
shade and gazed out into the morning.
Strange. l cannot comprehend it
yeti" he muttered, and his rugged,
good -natured face looked five years
older, at least, than on the preceding
night. Can l go back to my desk to-
day, as if l did not know this thing?
Can l keep my secret as faithfully as
Aunt Affry has kept it all these years?
God help me! Have / strength, or have
l not to be the same man still-to for
get all that have heard, and act as II
It was still unknown to me?-ah!"
The door that opened on the narrow
hall was standing ajar. Miss Blacks
dodgers were scarcely astir, as yet, but
down the stair Val saw stealthy fig
ure creeping-a forlorn. miserable,
haggard figure-Moll Dill. Over her
unkept, black hair an old hood was
tied, a tattered shawl covered her
shoulders. She unbarred the door and
like an unc!ean thing, stole out into the
early day. He watched her vanish
down the court-watched the last fiut-
ter of her ragged shawl in the dis
tance, and something very like shud-
der shook his stalwart figure. Mercy's
mother!-his own prospective mother
inslaw!
Mercy is beautiful and good" Aunt
Affry had said to him on the previous
night, but you will never marry her
never,"

Had Given Him Wrong Banner

Had Given Him Wrong Banner
Charles r. Holden told the following
story at banquet given to some law
yers and their wives at Chicago:
"A prominent educator of a co-edu-
cational institution told with evident
appreciation the following experience
of prominent professor Of celebrat-
ed university in New York city:
"The professor is blessed with par
ticulariy energetic and progressive
wife, who is a leader in the suffra-
gette movement When the recent de-
monstrative procession was organized
in New York she insisted upon the
professor adding his influence to the
movement by participating in the pro-
cession. He yielded and set out. The
wife's prominence in the movement
gave her a place In the reviewing
stand and she was mortally chagrined
to see the professor, shame faced,
struggling alone, carrying his banner
in such a dropping and careless way
that she could not even see what was
upon It.
"At the !. first opportunity her re-
proaches fell fierce and fast on the
professor, who finally managed to
break in with, But my dear. my dear.
you really must not blame me; had
an awful time. What do you think
that banner was?i imagine! 1t was
a most horrible cartoon Of a whisky
soaked and bedraggled bum with the
motto, This man can vote. why can't
I?"'"
