Yet 1t didn't seem so long since
Frank had been madly in love with
her She was a light-hearted girl In
those days. She had known Frank

FIVE, in not very flourishing circum-
stances, to look her rejected lover in
the face when he comes home with
wife and several millions of dollars
as well.
Especially when people thought she
had been in love with Jim Furber,
who was serving a ten years sentence
in the penitentiary for stealing fifty
thousand dollars frcm the bank that
had employed him. Nobody knew for
certain that Jenny had cared for Jim
but anyway, there he was, shut up
behind prison walls for goodish part
if his working life.
Would Jenny go to the train? We
were frankly curious. We wanted to
be there when Jenny met Frank.
There was to be town welcome, and
a spread for the homecomer and his
wife in Doc. Williams house.
Yes, Jenny was going to the station.
The whole OF Merivale's inhabitants
had gone trooping down, and all the
Offices we're closed. You see, 1t isn't
often a millionaire comes to Merivale
to settle down. And we had never
had millionaire before who went out
of the village a penniless youth.
Jenny and Frank-that was the abb
sorbing problem. When we heard she
was going, nothing could have re-
strained us.
1t seemed endless, that waiting, but
at last the train steamed in. Frank and
his wife were in the front carriage.
He jumped down like a boy, and
swung a pretty, buxom lady to her
feet. and stood staring at the crowd.
Then he gave a whoop and stretched
out his hand to the mayer.
MY, but I'm glad to see you'll" ne

to go fishing with me? Address Of
welcome? What, Mayor Pete! Mayor?
And Doctor Williams! Catch me.

Then he presented Doc to his wife.
and soon we we're all thronging round
the couple and giving them the best
welcome in Merivale. And Jenny? !
Jenny was blushing like schoolgirl,
And, before anybody knew what was
happening, Jenny had kissed Frank,
and Frank had kissed her; and Jenny
had kissed Mrs. Frank, and Mrs.
Frank had kissed her too.
We were all so excited about this
that nobody noticed the thin, tired
looking man with the closely cropped
hair who had got out of the Same
coach. and now stood behind Frank
Stockleigh, his eyes roaming restless
ly about until they lit on Jenny's. But
suddenly Jenny sprang forward. and

Brldue for New Orleans.

leans, first proposed in 1855, is to be
put through. The original design was
for a crossing about four or five miles
above New Orleans, where no change
Of bed or banks has occurred in the
recorded history OF the river. The span
of the cantilever bridge was to be l.
070 feet between centers Of main
piers, the suspended span being
440 feet long and the ancho: arms
each eco feet inches in length. The
foundations were to extend to 40 feet
below water and were TO rest on a
bed Of firm sand. The piers were to
be sunk by dredging through open
wells or cylinders. The present plan

| IN a moment the thin man had her In
his arms. and she was crying upon
his shoulder. and then they began
kissing each other right in front Of
the crowd.
There was a sort Of universal gasp
OF stupefaction. Frank Stockleigh
cleared his throat-and then he wasn't
looking at the crowd any more, but
only at Jenny Walsh and the thin
man, who was still hugging her.
The gasp was succeeded by breath
less silence. Then Mayor Williams
peered hard into the thin mans face;
and suddenly he cried:
Jim Furber, as am alive,"
He spun round, and Jenny too. and
she was looking at us with a kind of
gentle defiance in her eyes; and they
we're holding each others hands.
why, thought you were-I thought
you we're" stammered Doc. Will
Jams, and that was as far as he could
get. He couldn't exactly tell him he
thought he was in prison; and yet the
surprise Of Jim's temperance, and
his appearance in Franks company,
made the mayor forget himself.
yes, was" answered Jim, looking
at him with the blinking gaze of
man who hasn't been in the free air
as much as he should have been. II
was in the penitentiary eight years.
But"
And he broke of In a sort OF chok-
ing sob, and Jenny linked her arm
through his. And then, for once Mayor
Williams did the right thing.
Jim, you and Mr.. and Mrs. Stock
leigh are going to be my guests at
dinner" he said. 80 come along all
of you-straight up to the house. And
you, of course, Miss Jenny" he con-
tinued.
But 1t was not until the dinner was
over that the mystery was explained,
and 1t was Frank Stockleigh who
cleared 1t up.
Friends" he began, and there was
something in his tone which checked
the air of jollity, 81 am bringing back
to you not only my wife"-here he
bowed toward her-"but also your
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Furber. You prob
ably know the sad circumstances con-
nected with his disappearance. Let
me say that after eight years impris-
onment his innocence has been proved
by the confession OF a dying man.
By his own desire, Mr.. Furber has
preferred to remain under a stigma
rather than drag the name of the dead
mans relatives into publicity. You
cannot give him back those eight
years, but you can take him into your
hearts"
In a moment every man there, and
every woman, too, was crowding
around Jim, shaking his hand, and I
think in that moment the memory of
those eight years fell from his mind
and he became a normal man again.
He stood up and tried to speak.
After several attempts he found his
voice
Thanks to Frank Stockleigh," he
said. 1T was he, gentlemen, who dis
covered what had happened to me and
travelled East and spent thousands of
dollars proving my innocence. And l
ask you to drink to-drink to Frank
and his bride and-and my wife, whom

he added, choking more and more.
