uOtlceu - MrS. 1TOSNelOF,
she had such wonderful things
to tell her! She stood at
the door, eager, shining-eyed,
waiting for Mrs. Grosvenor
to look up from her desk.
She waited several min
utes, and a vague perplexity
Swallowed the shining eyes
and set her heart beating: it
was foolishness, of course
it was just rich peoples way.
Then at last Mrs. Grosvenor
looked up.
Il understand, Miss Dupre,
that you have been putting
notions in Herbert's head.
He told his father something
about them, and both MIR.
Grosyenor and I are greatly
displeased. We do not think
such ideas suitable at all.
Under the circumstances, l
think we must cancel your
engagement. l am paying
you, of course, for the full
time
The girl accepted the
envelop mechanically. She
must have accepted in any
event-she had no right not
to; but in the stunning shock
of it she did not think of the
money at all--she thought
only of the little solitary fig
ure upstairs.
MAY tell him good
by?' she faitered.
"If you will be very brief.
l will send Felice to call
you"
The girl went out quietly;
but in the upper hall she
almost ran. The play-room
door was open, and the tears
came to her eyes at the
sight of it. But she could not
fail him now. She reached

THAT you are a wanted man.
Those clippings tell of the public Of

ton regarding one Elston Revere
The inference is plain-you are the
man."
What use do you intend to make
of the information?" persisted Page.
Simply, it suggests to me prof

Mortimer marries a man worthy of

why you are wanted" ..
The inference was obvious. This
man was his enemy. He held his Sc
cret in his keeping. Page had
showed sudden resolution. He looked
him steadily in the eye.
"You claim an interest in the vel
fare of the Mortimers?" he said.
Surely" declared Moore.
"Then come with me"
Page led the way to the Mortimer
home. Father and daughter were to-
gether in the little parlor. Ruth
looked anxious as she noted dead

'T have something to tell you that,
perhaps, 1 should have told you be-

than a stranger fugitive. 1 was
forced to flee from my home in the
east a year ago because l killed a
man."
John Mortimer gave great gasp.
A covert gleam of satisfaction shot
from the eyes Of Cyrus Moore. Ruth

'It is right" mUrmured Ruth, "and

So Elston Revere went his way to
dree his 'wierd. Twice, amid her keen
anxiety, Ruth wrote to him. There
came no answer. She became pale
and dispiTited. How was she to
know that crafty Cyrus Moore had
intercepted his letters -. Cyrus
Moore, who had her worried father
in his power and pressed hard his
money claims.
Gradually he was forcing the old
man to influence Ruth to favor his
suit. And one night Mr.. Mortimer
told Ruth plainly that they could be

Moore.

OVER CAMILLA BANK

Thamasville, Ga, July S1.-The

is HANDICAPPED

Washington, July 31.-Although the
United States government declines to
order extraordinary protection for the
