than to finance him to go down to
Honduras and see if he couldn't do as
well as did with that old mine? May
be he'll strike it rich and come back
with a fortune. Then he can marry
Lutte Grant and he and go into bust
ness together-dear boy!'
Dear boy and poor boy, indeed"
replied Miss Keziah, wiping fugitive
tear from her eye. you very well
know that he's just pining his life
away down in that horrid country.
The government has confscated your
mine and Walter is working for a
mere pittance at odd engineering
jobs. Well, wrote him last week tell
ing him to come right home, marry
Lucie, make his home with us and
even if he couldn't make a fortune
we'd all be happy, which is the main
thing, after all"
you did" cried John, wonderfully
worked up at this announcement.
"Say, Keziah, that's just famous. Yes,
sir! Let Honduras and the Lane es-

contentment and comfort, anyhow"

element in the life of Walter Ross.
An orphan, the old brother and sister
had taken him in when he was quite
young. A bright, ingenious lad, they
had come to love him as if he was of
their own kith and kin, whereas he
was only very distantly related to
them. Then there had come a great
surprise. The old uncle of Walter,
named Jasper Lane, had died. A will
was discovered leaving the big estate
to the neglected heir.

and make all his friends rich, a Sec

the inheritance in despair. ..<
This was the situation of affairs
that evening when at ten o'clock
John took up his cane and with a
lunch in his pocket set out on his Gus
tomary night ramble. 1t was beau
tiful night and the landscape was
varied and lovely. A good deal that
had come to light that day set John
to thinking, so he had little time for
poetry. He wandered aimlessly about,
lulled by the sweet sounds of the
night and finally sat down on fallen
tree at the rounding end of the lake,
to enjoy his lunch, perhaps snooze for
a spell in the radiant moonlight and
then resume his night tramp.
Hello! Who's that, wonder?"
abruptly calculated John.
A man had appeared on the oppo-
site side of the lake, coming from the
direction of the town. Abruptly, as
he passed over rocky patch of the
beach his foot caught in a loose
stone. He tumbled forward, his head
