years, upon the anniversary of the
day when Nettie Dean had come into
his life as rescuing angel he shut
himself into his room through all the
twenty-four hours, living over that
blessed one when the sweet tones of
a fair young girl had started him on
new career. He devoted all his
energy to business. He was made
partner in thriving firm.
The money received from the rail-
way company he had returned. The
man he had wronged, Nate Dolby, by
inveigling him into his dreadful plot
he reached through lawyer, who put
Dolby on his feet, and reformed. All
his old debts Gresham liQuidated, with
interest.
Then, one day, the new Burt
Gresham made pilgrimage. It's goal
was the little old schoolhouse where
his regeneration had begun. At the
nearby village he learned that the
last session of a term was on, and
joined the men and women on their
way to commemorate ''the last day of
school," He sought q retired seat.
For the first time he gazed upon the
beautiful face of his hitherto unseen
guardian angel.
A pretty juvenile program was car
ried out. The head of the school
board delivered the usual annual
speech. He complimented Miss Dean
upon her success as a teacher. He
told Of the need of library for the
school, not within the power of the
board to donate. He suggested volun-
tary contributions. Burt Gresham
stood up electrically.
II will take the responsibility of the
entire subscription" he said, and sat
down again.
The occupants of the little room
stared at this munificent stranger

With cruel force Burt Gresham came
in contact with the bottom of a newly
dug ditch, stumbling over a board set
on two kegs which had been placed
for the warning and protection Of
pedestrians. He landed hard, his
shoulder striking the edge Of the cut,
his clothes were torn on the nails in
the board he had fallen over. and he
was bruised by the side of the ditch
and his attire muddied and disordered.
One arm, severely sprained, hung
limp by his side. He had been run
ming to catch q trolley car when the
accident occurred. AS, with pain and
difficulty, he noted the fading lights of
the car, bitter scowl crossed his
face.
Everything Is going wrong with
me-" he muttered sullenly. 'This
about caps the climax. In debt, the
boss sore at me and ready to fire me,
even the clothes wear not paid for
the world is at odds with me. I'd like
the chance to get even. no matter how
desperately"
Hello! Well, say, If it isn't Burt
Gresham y hailed familiar voice and
q staggering form neared him. "Hit
by the trolley?"
Gresham gave quick startiat these
last words. A subtle flash came from
his eyes. A suggestion had sunk deep
In his mind all off it's balance In his
prevailing misanthropic mood. He
noted the muddled condition Of the
man who stood regarding him un-
steadily.

"Did L? Sure, did," mumbled the

Tossed me into the ditch-and you
saw it."
That's it. Why, you're hurt. amt
you? I'll tell you what-that COM
pany is in for damages, hey?"
In a flash the structure of q base
fraud arose in the thoughts Of Burt
Gresham. He was in a fit frame of
mind to "get even" with the world.
He held to the arm of Nate Dolby
and entered the first saloon they came
to. He treated Dolby and drank HIM
self. He was reckless and desperate.
By this time he had drilled spe-
ciouS story into the mind of his ire
spOnsible companion, who circumstan-
TALLY detailed the imaginary contact
with the car.
''Ill see you in the morning, Dolby"
said Gresham, as they parted. "Pm
going to sue the company. You are
my witness, remember"
"Sure, / wili,' insisted Dolby.
Don't forget your story. now"
mot I. Treat me square for my
trouble, though"
"Oh, sure, that"
Burt Gresham entered on his course
of crime the next morning. He had
gone to a surgeon and had his injured
arm set in sling. He resigned his
position forthwith. He had secreted
a diamond ring he was buying on in
stallments, and went to the jeweler
from whom he had purchased it, and
recited likely story of losing it in
the accident. He visited his tailor
and paraded his hurts and bruises.
| He located Dolby, primed him up to
the necessary point, and then took
him to the Office of the electric rail-
way.
