preston in the wise eyes of Mr.. Laid
law after he had spent an evening
with the Carringtons.
Social leaders. my boy!" he OBJ
served. And that queenly Helena!
How did she strike your"
Gold as ice,' replied Robert with
q slight laugh, none OF the genial
warmth of soul Of some modest yet
gen~tle-hearted girl like"
Eth" started Uncle Henry, as Rob-
ert paused and flushed.
"Oh! like those natural friendly
girls in the Office of the plant" con-
cluded Robert, g~eneralizing.
Your lofty Miss Darlington cut me
dead today, uncle" reported Robert,
later in the same week.
"Oh. you must be mistaken" remon-
strated Mr.. Laidlaw.
Not at all, 1t was palpable and
meant. You see. l had my working
clothes on and the CRIME of honest
labor shocked her sensitive spirit"
HIM" muttered the old man
thoughtfully, and then he went to his
lawyer. See here, Hunter" he began
to the attorney, I'm doing that boy a
wrong
in what way" was the pertinent
query.
Mr.. Laidlaw narrated his story Of the

protege, the slow promise Of final ad-

Tired Of the program. Ell. already

your nephew" he challenged. What
you want to do-rear him in the Lar
of luxury and spoil him."
"Well-er-you see"
mo, you see! Laidlaw," interrupted
the lawyer briskly, I've been studying
young Robert and I'm glad to observ,
his sense, courage and fidelity to a,
ideal. He'll work cut right and max,
you proud of him IL you leave hin
alone"
Yes, but he may make friends
among %the-well, the lowly-that ma,
be a detriment to him."
What" rallied the lawyer, "afte
your proud-tempered Miss Caring
TOM"
But suppose he should fall in low
with some poor girl?'
Suppose he did? Do you want t
spoil his happiness? No, you go RICH
ahead on the course we have marke,
J out. Robert is no fortune hunter o
he wouldn't have chosen you instea'
of your brother, he would never hav
risked catching an heiress by under
taking mental employment. He's ger

He'll land right. Mark my words"
There came a test. An ~unexpecte,
event TRANSFERRED. James Laidlaw die,
and in a will he had planned to chang
when his nephew refused to live witt
him, but which he had neglected to DE-
: his sole heir was Robert.
Now he'll go off on his own hool

to his lawyer; n further use for me.
Wait and see," advised the Law

came into the library and addresse

who told you that?" exploded tn
old man. III I've hidden my wealt

I'm glad to see that you have q loya
grateful heart"
IT'S a division. no matter what 20
say" declared Robert, you see, II W
could all live together"
"We-aren't we? What you up I

"Why-you see, there's a Nellie"
And who is she?"
Let me bring her around and see,
