CHAPTER XIII.
A Sporting Offer.

n sporting Oner.
Some two hours later, that same
evening, Mr.. Alan Law, very much
alive and, in spite of a complete new
outfit Of ready-made clothing, looking
much more like himself than he had
in a fortnight, issued forth from the
Grand Central station, hailed a taxi
cab, and had himself conveyed to the
Hotel Monolith.
But If he looked his proper self once
more, it speedily was demonstrated
that his wish vas otherwise: for after
learning from the room-clerk Of the
Monolith that a suite was being held
in the name of Arthur Lawrence, that
was the name Mr.. Law inscribed on
the register.
On the other hand, it was his true
name that he gave to the person whom
he called upon the telephone immedi-
ately after being shown to his rooms
But then he was speaking to his old
friend and man Of business, Mr.. Digby.
Within another ten minutes this last
was in conference with his employer:
II think you must be out of your
head" he insisted %nervously, once
their first greetings were over. "You
might just as sensibly throw yourself
from the top Of the Metropolitan tower
as come to New York while Urine lives
and knows you're this side the water"
NONSENSE" Alan laughed. "Remem-
Der this is New York-not the back
woods Of Maine!"
Alan paused and smote his palm
with a remorseful fist. by the Eter-
nal. I'm forgetting Barcus!"
"Barcus?
Chap whose boat chartered in
Portland-sheer luck on my part: he's
one of the salt of the arth. First,
something must be done for the boy.
You've got influence of some sort In
New Bedford. surely?"
Digby reflected: Some. There's
George Blaine, justice of the peace"

Barcus' interests Immediately. And
telegraph Barcus as well--send him

at the desk and fumbled with the sup

chuckled-but cut his laugh in two ~

envelopes which Digby had disturbed

for the fulfllment of my revenge only
to be cheated at the end by Death?
God grant that Alan Law may be laid
down still living here at my feet!

A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: Then shall my will be done
to him! And then, when l have cen

God!-then at last l too may die!

There was a long silence, then a
groan of exasperated protest: why
do they not come? Why does Judith
delay, when she knows how | suffer?
Why have l been put off from day to
day with her kilograms that begged
for more time and promised every
thing-but told nothing!-until yester-
day. . Where are those mes
sages she sen me yesterday
His one sound hand CROPPED out like
a claw and sought a mass of papers
on the desk beside him, sorting out
from among them two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and
slowly his pain-bent lips conned their
wording;
"'Alan and Rose safe with me-will
bring both home tomorrow night with
out fall" he read the first aloud; and
then the second: "'Have motorcar
waiting for me tomorrow morning

seemed to SLEEP, but SO deceptive was
that semblance that he was alert for

ly, as If fearful of disturbing his slum-
bers; but she found him with head
erect and eyes a-blaze.

vibrating like a brazen bell. AT last!
Where is he? You have brought him?
Where is he?"
With no more answer than q sigh,
the girl dropped her head and let her
hands hang Imply with palms ex.

After an instant Of i~ncredulous dis
appointment the man shot a single,
frigid question at her:
You have failed?"
Il have failed" she confessed.
"Why?"
She shrugged slightly. who knows

too much for me, outwitted me at

MRS. MERCER HOSTESS
TO WESLEY BIBLE CLASS
THE OCCASION WAS A DELIGHT
Full AND INTERESTING ONE
TO THOSE PRESENT.

One of the most pleasant affairs of
the social season was the entertain
ment given Thursday evening at the
home of Mrs. :. R. Mercer, when the
members of the Methodist Philathea
class were at home to their friends.
Mrs. Guy Chappell and Mrs. Ella
JONES welcomed the guests at the
door. Then they were relieved of
wraps and introduced to the strang-
ers present, after which a delightful
program was given. Miss Belle
Cheatham, who is the teacher of this
class of women banded together for
the good they may do, gave a sincere
greeting and told the history of the
Philathea organization, and the rea-
sons for changing the name to the
Wesley Bible class, as the class is
now called.
Her talk was we'll received, and
was followed by the singing of Christ
mas carols, by Misses Susie Mae Do
zier, Annie Bess Cutler and Rebecca
Laing. Mrs. w. F. Sherman was in
charge of the program, and explained
the old custom in England of the
singing of carols on Christmas eve.
Conversation" was the next num-
Der, and was made up of impromptu
talks from various guests, a reminis-
cence, a joke, story of travels or
something as interesting, to add to
pleasure of the occasion.
A musical story followed. The
story was read by Mrs. Sherman, with
pauses in which Miss Annie Bess
Cutler played snatches of familiar
airs, and each guest wrote as best
they could the name of the song,
which completed the story. When
the answers were read it was found
that only a few had guessed the en-
tire number correctly. A medley
came next, with Miss Cutler at the
piano, when a dainty salad course
was served by members of the class.
Selections on the victrola were en-
joyed throughout the evening. A
large number of guests were pres
ent, including the entire class of
Mrs. c. A. Harris. the officers of the
Sunday school and Rev. j. NJ. Out
Ter and DR.. T. D. Ellis.
