LOST and FOUND

Having learned that brisk walk
and deep breathing in the cool air are
better cure for the blues than taking
"a good cry" Elinor went out az soon
as she had finished her dinner and
walked until the darkness drove her
in. AS she neared her boarding house
she saw at the edge Of the curb a
mans leather bill purse, which she
picked up. AS she saw no one near
who could have dropped II, she took
it to her room.
Fifty dollars! Just what hoped
to win in that contest" Then Elinor
saw that the purse also contained
some cards. ''If don't know whose
1t is I can't return It; and II l don't
look at these cards I won't know.
but
ITO a man who carries purse OF
this quality and who uses engraved
cards fifty dollars probably means
very little" she unused, but to me 1t
means a winter suit and month
board" Slowly she began to tear
the cards, but as the tough paste
board began to yield to her trembling
fingers she stopped abruptly.
'Horrors!" she gasped. "I said
must win, and this Is losing even my
honor. Oh, hate your And she
swept the money from her and looked
at the cards.

read. but the name meant nothing tc

Elinor had no opportunity to tele

ny JANE OSBORN.

Nathaniel Ewing was the junior
partner In the furniture company Of
MCGUIRE & Ewing, and, as such things
usually go. everyone expected that
he would some day marry Katie, Bar
ry McGuire's pretty daughter. It was
as plain as day that Nat was head
over heels In love with Katie. The
florist and the confectioner could have
told you that he sent roses and bon
bons to Katie almost every week, and
no girl in her right mind, people
said, could have refused Nat. So the
matter seemed as good as settled. But
II wasn't. .....
MAT" Katie said to him one Satur-
day afternoon as they were walking
homo from the country club, where
they had had their round of tennis.
Nat, I think you had better not send
me the flowers and the candy any
more-people are beginning to talk"
"Well, what II they are?" Nat was
perfectly cheerful. It had never really
occurred to him that there could be
any serious obstacle in the way Of
winning Katie's hand.
"Well"-Katie fumbled with the
strings of her racquet-"if should
ever marry--if I were to be married
soon, for instance, people might say
that I should not have let you spend
so much money for me-"
ANY one in mind?" asked Nat.
What do you know about it," ex-
claimed Katie. did father tell you?
Did you read the letters?"
Nat suddenly recalled the fact that
he had noticed a rather copious CORE
spondence bearing Spanish stamps
and postmarks that had been coming
into the Office for the past six weeks.
He had thought nothing about 1t, but
now his curiosity and jealousy were
aroused.
We'll, then" said Katie, somewhat
relieved, II might as we'll tell you all
about it, II father hasn't. You see,
father had a cousin, Dolorita. a very
beautiful girl, they say. and before
father left Ireland for the United
States this cousin ran away to Paris
where she taught as goVerness in
some nobleman's family, and there II
was that she met the Spanish gen
tleman who married her my
Adolpho's father" .....

They had now reached the Mcclure
house and were sitting on the steps
OF the shady veranda.

Morton, chat this very day I've been
thinking that honesty is an unknown
quantity these days. 50, you see, you
have restored to me far more than
my lost money; you've restored my
lost faith in humanity" He was lean
ing toward her with the friendliest
look IN his clear eyes. but the sudden
change which swept over Elinor pus.'
gled him.
Don't, please don't!" she almost
walled. "If you knew how near I
came to keeping It you'd hate me:
Oh, I must tell somebody" and
grasping the arms of her chair as IL
to support herself, and looking into
her lap, she told him just what she
first thought of doing with his money.
As she talked her cheeks faded from
crimson to white Then she rose to
leave. Stanley Morton had been sit
ting with his elbow on the table and
his right hand shielding his eyes, but
he rose quickly and stood between
her and the door, with his right hand
extended and a sympathetic smile in
his eyes.
please let me say that under
stand fully, and that I honor your
bravery as much as your honesty.
Many OF us are passively honest
when It's convenient, but you are ac-
lively honest even when Il means a
hard nght. You've made the world
seem right again for me, and now
won't you promise me that II I can
ever make things easier for you you
will let me serve your" The mans
sincerity was unmistakable, and
Elinor extended her hand and smiled
up at him frankly.
you've already made things easier
by forgiving me, and you've under
stood, and that Is what counts most,
you know" Il was only after she had
gone that Stanley Morton realized that
she had not told him her name or
given him any clue about her work.
One morning, month later, as
Elinor was at her work in the book
store she turned from the shelves with
half a dozen books in her arms and a
near.sighted customer. intent upon a
book he held, collided with her. scat

gentleman who was approaching
picked up two Of the books and was
about to pass on with a formal ac-
acknowledgement of Elinor's thanks,
when their eyes CHANGED to meet. 1t
was Stanley Morton.
AT last I've found you, az I knew

words came deliberately, but his tone
made each word a caress. But there

hasn't come Into HIS money yet, and
he wants father to advance enough
for him to come over to America with.
Isn't 1t thrilling? And Adolpho is so
good looking-so foreign and distin-
guished."
Il wish you Joy" was Mats sullen
comment, as he sauntered down the
street toward his boarding house,
leaving Katie to her castles in Spain.
It was three weeks later, and, &C.
cording to schedule, Adolpho was on
the ocean and would soon be at the
house OF MCGUIRE. Barry MCGUIRE
had sent the 5000 to pay expenses, in
gold, according to direction, the. day
Of Katie's talk with Nat.
Katie had been living in a high
state of excitement, and Nat, for some
reason, had been going about his work
with an air of mild content.
Your Adolpho will soon be here"
he said to her one night, after an
evening business talk with her father.
THAT Dago cousin of yours is GER
tainly lucky"
HE isn't a Dago." protested Katie.
"Spaniards aren't Dagos at all. Any.
way, ] am not so sure l am going to
like him right away. wish you
wouldn't tease me so. Nat"
Mr.. Mcclure laughed. Perhaps
Nat is a little Jealous" he joked.
Perhaps he wishes the Spanish cou-
sin in Halifax. But we shall see, we
shall see."
Nat had been opening a newspaper
clipping that he had carefully folded
in his pocket. II was from one of
the New York papers, and he spread
II out before his partner.
Maybe this will interest you," he
said, pointing to the headlines: Skill.
full Spanish Intrigue Exposed. Gang
Of Crooks Work Bunco on Easy Marks
All Over the Country. May Be Scores
of Victims"
Mr.. MCGUIRE and Katie read
through the article quickly.
"Oh, WE'LL" said Katie. tossing her
pretty head after a minutes refec'
ton, II don't know as would have
cared to marry Spaniard, anyhow "
And Nat, responding to the cue
took one Of Katie's hands apprecia'
lively in his.
But Mr.. Mcclure sat with his head
buried in his hands.
1T don't care 80 much about the
Spanish cousin" he said. ct isn't
that, but what a fool I've been. What
OF my $200--now when business IL
dull, too?" 49,.
"Oh, that's where I have a little
confession to make" said Nat, now
taking both of Katie's hands. May
be It was because I was jealous and
maybe IL was because I suspected
something crooked in this deal. But
when you asked me to have the gold
sent from the bank / took the gold
instead and put into the office safe
thought 1t would do you more good
there than In the pocket OF some un
known Spanish cousin"
