Before they could reach the door,
Turnbul1 had rallied from his trance
Of bewilderment. With a joyous cry,
he fairly flung himself upon them,
shaking Henry's hand with ELUSIVE
delight; kissing Marjorie again and
again; vowing that this was the hap
piest day in all his whole long life.
He overwhelmed the wretchedly IN
happy couple with congratulations.
-"And now" interrupted Henry, when
he could make himself heard, 81 am

minutes ago. I'll be back as soon as

astonished old man.

briefly. Happiness can. Goodbye
I've just time to catch my train"
He was out of the Office before
Turnbull could find his voice.
Next day, on the bank of river
some miles away, a rural constable
found Hugh Scott's hat. In it was a
note that read:
al am innocent. But cannot prove
my innocence. So am going to end
everything"
From the spot where the hat was

water.
Three months later an addressed fig

sticking close to the walls and in the
shadows AT turn in the byway he
was treading he came face to face

Henry left the inner Office, closing
the door behind him, and crossed to
the safe. AS he was bending over to
open it, he heard voice in the cor
ridor that brought him to his feet,
staring in dull amazement. Into the
outer Office, arm in arm, came Hugh
and Marjorie. Their faces were alight
with happiness.
"Hugh!" cried Henry, dumfounded,
as he stood gaping duly at his jubi-
liant brother.
Listen, old chap!" cried Hugh, in
glad triumph. 'I've got whale of a
secret to tell you. We're married,
Marjorie and T."
Henry staggered back a step as
though he had been struck across the
face.

you done with them?" I
"The bonds?" repeated Hugh, in a
bewilderment that his brothers dis

of guilt. what bonds?"

Henry, stung to anger by what he re-
garded as Hugh's attempt to deny his
guilt. "They are searching the city

changing color. For me? II don't

"It is not true!" flashed Marjorie
as wrathful as Henry. There is not

''It is true" reiterated Henry.
And briefly he set forth the evil
dence against his brother. AS the
chain Of circumstances was completed
Marjorie shrank back with gasp OF
dismay.
"The police have already spread the
net for him." finished Henry. "And
the moment he steps into the street
he will be caught. He"

Hugh saw that neither his bride nor
his brother believed him. He turned
and ran to the window and looked
down into the street Directly below
on the sidewalk, stood a policeman.
The bluecoat CHANGED to be looking
upward. His gaze lighted with quick
and eager recognition as it fell on
into the building.
This completed Hugh's growing
panic His nerve and his power 70
think both at once deserted him.
He was now obsessed by an insane
impulse to fee, for he believed this
to be the only thing left him to do.
At a stride he was beside the hor-
rified Marjorie. He caught her in his
arms, kissed her, and then ran head
long from the room.
Before either his bride or Henry
could stop him, Hugh had bolted down
the corridor at top speed.
An unoccupied Office door stood open

SIXTH STORY
Sowing the Wind.

There were two pictures on Mar
jorie Turnbull's dressing table. But
in her heart there was only one.
On the table, Nesting in big silver
frames, were the photographs Of
Henry Scott and of his handsomel
and younger brother, Hugh. In hel
heart the image Of Hugh Scott reigne6
alone.
Cyrus Turnbull had been guardian
to both the orphaned Scott boys. And
he had taken both of them into his
fast-growing brokerage firm.
Henry Scott was man after the
old brokers' own type-honest, clever
a glutton for work. And in time these
qualities made him manager Of the
firm.
Hugh frankly hated work. AS re
suit he had more of it to do thar
had his more ambitious brother.
Being only mortal, he naturally laid
his mischance at the door Of HARD
luck and would have sworn that his
brother owed his rise to fortune
plus favor. Moreover, he loafed sui
lenly over his own daily tasks.
There was one CLINT Of light In
Hugh's dreary, gray routine, and thai
was his employers only daughter
Marjorie. He was crafty in love
with the pretty and willful girl.
And ardor was for once rewarded
For Marjorie was quite swept off hel
feet by Hugh SCOTS whirlwind court
ship.
One noon she went downtown In
her little runabout to take her father
home to lunch. When she arrived
Turnbu1l and Henry were closete6
together, discussing a bit of important
business in the formers private room
Hugh was alone in the outer office
correcting a balance sheet.
ooh, sweetheart" said Hugh. "It's
like a check in a letter to see you
This has been such a rotten morning
Just one of those days nobody wants
Everything's gone crosswise. Your
revered father has been calling me
down. He told me that if didn't take
a brace he'd fire me-"
"How beastly!" she consoled. "Yo,
poor, poor boy. 1 do wish I could
help l know how it feels to have
people spoil ones day. Mrs. Hard!
spoils mine nearly always"
Mrs. Hardy?" repeated Hugh, sur
prised. "But how?"
ooh, ever since she came to us a.
housekeeper she's been setting he
cap to marry father. She thinks l
I were safely married and out of tn
way he'd be so lonely he'd marry he1
And she's forever nagging at me t.

coming into the breakfast room
heard her saying to father: If yo'
don't look out she will be marrying

"She said that?" exclaimed Hugh

her at all. ! walked right in on then

While Marjorie was making ready
he drew from table drawer the we'd
ding certificate she had given into his
care. Dipping fingertip into the
ink, he smudged the name Hugh" SO
that only it's first letter was legible.
Then, pocketing the certificate, he
