very soul was racked and torn and in
his heart, at times, there was murder.
He wondered what Dick knew of
his actual deal with Brand. He longed
sometimes to look up the reporter and
bare the whole story. But confession
to another would do no good now; 1t
would not repay the municipality he
had robbed and it would not renew the
bond of friendship with the man he
had cast aside.
When Reynolds rushed after his
wife that night he stopped for Dick

one draw at the game II that was the
way It was played; II that was the
only way he could decently clothe his
wife and give her the place she was
entitled to. that was the way he would
play It. He would have told Dick all
then, II he would have listened. But
the reporter laid hand over his mouth
and stopped him.

That was about the last word he
had had from Dick. They had ridden
up to the city together. but they had
conversed but little and at the Battery
the reporter shook his friends hand
and hurried away.
Dick was a dreamer: yes. But on
the basic principles Of life Dick was
right, and he had proved a good
prophet.
The sting of conscience and remorse
began to take such hold on Bob that
he ceased to share his wife's pleasures
and he found himself aggrieved and
annoyed at her extravagances. The
sight Of her costly gowns actually irri-
tated him, for he continued to lose
heavily and his entire fortune now was
less than the forty thousand dollars
with which Brand had rewarded his
duplicity. 1t was not his losses. how
ever, that unnerved him. 1t was the
thought that he now had nothing Of his
own making and that for every luxury
his wife enjoyed, he and she were
bounden to Brand. Jane was oblivioue
to it, but that only aggravated the Ill.
He avoided her. Night after night he
remained away, urging press of busi-
ness while he was engaged in nothing
more urgent than some game Of chance
which for him had lost even the ele-
ment Of sociability. His sleeping hours
were as troubled as his wakeful ones
and pleading extreme nervousness to
Jane, he advised that they occupy sep
arate rooms.
He dreamed constantly of Dick and
the bungalow and of his earlier days
with Jane. And once he dreamed Of
something else. He awoke clutching
at the clothes, with beads of cold sweat
starting from his brow and the picture
of horrible nightmare still before
his eyes. He had dreamed that the
dam had collapsed and that hundreds
Of persons we're dead. martyrs to his
crime. And while he dreamed these
dreams Brand slept peacefully. One
was conscience-prodded transgressor
and the other a self-satisfied progress
i've.
At last Bob decided on an escape.
He determined to risk everything he
had, house and all. in a final coup. II
he won, he would go away whether
Jane went or not. He could give her
enough to be comfortable on If he were
successful, and If he lost-well, there
would, at least, be a change.

the heat so that there will be bare
simmering. The water must stand
two inches above the meat-fill the
boiler up as it wastes away. Keep on
the lid but loosely, and let the ham
simmer until it Is very tender-the
time depends upon the age. weight
and hardness of the ham. When the
haunch bone shows little through
the meat the ham is likely to be done.

her pending the termination OF her

LIGHTNING KILLS
TWO ADVENTISTS
Standing Near Tree In Front of
Church Building When Bolt
Strikes.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 19.-While exam
lining a tree which had been struck by
lightning Augustine j. S. Bourdeau, Of
the Seventh Day Adventists Church,
and Edwin Andrews, a boy of fourteen,
were instantly killed by a second bolt
striking practically in the same spot.
Marguerite Bourdeau, the nine-year-
old daughter of the dead man, also was
struck and though severely shocked
and burned, there is hope for her re-
covery.
The three were in the Administration
Building of the Seventh Day Advent
lists, in Takoma Park, Md, just over the
District of Columbia line, when the
lightning struck tree right in front.
After the storm was over, as they
thought, they went to look at the pc
culiar markings of the current on the
tree. When the bolt struck, W.. l..
Burger, trust agent of the association,
and A. ]. Daniels, chairman of the
Board of Foreign Missions, who were
standing on the portico of the build
ing, ran to aid, but the two had been
killed instantly.
An examination showed that the
soles of Bourdeau's shoes were burned
to crisp, while his watch continued
running, uninjured. Ahdrews's watch
and a metal buckle on his belt. were
melted as though in furnace.
