"By giving him FIVE years, ten years,

laugh. II fancy that won't be very

Easy or difficult, it must be done,"
declared Mills firmly. "No man knows

your time and will pay you for that.
James DarrOw never heard Of you.
You will go and see him and arrange
to act as travelling salesman. All your
reports-my reports, rather-under an
assumed name, will be made by mail.
You need not meet him personally af-
ter the first interview, as all remit
tances for goods ordered will be sent
to the factory direct and shall not
disgrace you by troubling you again."
And the plan was put through. Bris-
coe, under an assumed name, visited
James DarrOw in his home town and |
left 1t the accredited agent Of the
manufacturer. Once q
month the latter was to send check
for Brlscoe to a city address, covering
the commissions earned by his travel
Ing salesman.
During the next year Harvey Mills
throve. He worked day and night.
He was, indeed, tireless and diligent.
His mental training during his lncar-
ceration had fitted him marvelOusly
well for the business line he followed.

/ He received a letter from Jamet
Darrow asking him to visit him and
lncloslng n handsome cash bonus for
his able cooperation. The letter was
kindly, grateful, almost affectionate.
II frankly attributed to the efforts OF
Mills the solid establishment of wa
verlng business enterprise. Mills
evaded making the visit. The second
year there came n most urgent second
letter II limited at a possible partner.
ship arrangement. Again Mills made
some excuse for not meeting with the
wishes OF his employer. And then, one
bright wintry day, hungry longing
came to Mills to visit the town where
the factory was located, and where he
was not known, as his trial and con-
vlction had taken place In the city.
1t was nearly dusk and after a stroll
all about the little town he was cross
ing bridge spanning a swiftly rolling
stream. The Ice was breaking up and
was coming down with the current in
huge, rushing cakes. Halfway across
the bridge ringing cry broke upon his
hearing and scanning the river surface
he saw floating down the stream a
young girl On a great cake of ice. She
had attempted to cross the stream on
the disintegrating Ice further up the
stream and the cake she was on had
become separated from the pack.
What Harvey Mills did within the
ensuing five minutes was all impulse
and heroic. From the bridge he leaped
to the cake of ice on which wavered
the frenzled young girl. He seized her
to steady her, for she was almost
fainting. He made leap into the wa
ter and fairly flung her ashore In safe
ty, just as two wagering cakes of ice
caught him In a cruel embrace, and,
but for her SELLING his arm and pull
ing him ashore he would have been
submerged.
AS he sank back, inert and insen-
sible, his last vision was Of the anx-
lous, beautiful face bending over him. |
He awoke, little dreaming that 1t was
two days later, to find himself in bed
In warm, comfortable room, half |
darkened. He listened to voices In
the next room.
"Oh, fatherp spoke the voice of the |
young girl whom Mills had rescued,
"be kind, be very kind, to the man who
has saved my life. Do not his papers,
your sure knowledge of his identity |
prove that he was never a willing |
criminal"
"DO not fear" answered the tones
of James Darrow. "Never has a man
made nobler restitution"
81 hear him moving about" fluttered
Ethel Darrow, and her father fastened
to the bedside of Mills. His face was
beaming. He held out his hands, both
welcoming hands to the patient, and
two words he spoke cleared all the
past, and were hopeful tokens for the
future to worn, weary Harvey Mills
