BREAKING THE LAW

In most cities there are laws that
are broken every day, and by people
who think nothing of the misde-
meanr. Probably the law that is
disregarded with the greatest i'm
punity is the law relating to Jay
drivers" and the one requiring that
you properly turn corners with your
car, and to use mufflers while driv-
ing through the city. There is also
the speed law. Not so many break
this law, yet there are always some
In every city or town who cannot re-
sist the temptation to step on er
tail" II they cannot see an officer of
the law in sight. These fellows are
pretty cute and the majority OF them
get by with it. They are hard to
catch.
Then there is the fellow who takes
the chance Of killing deer, duck,
a grouse or pheasant out of season,
and the man who hungers for brain
food and bangles his hook in the
brook after trout.

He was the uncle of Dudley North, by
marriage only, but as he opened his
eyes and recognized this unexpected
but longed-for visitor, his bloodless
face took on a quick flush and his dull
eye glowed with pleasure.
"Uncle!" spoke Dudley fervently, as
he clasped the feeble trembling hand
extended, and then the doctor whis-
pered in his ear after critical glance
at his patient. "Haste is vital for the
execution of his last WISH" nodded to
the lawyer and left the room.
Dudley stepped aside and the lawyer
opened his portfolio and seated him
self at the bedside. He drew forth
document that he had just prepared
In the library. 1t was brief, simply
describing the holdings of his client.
"You wish to leave your fortune
to a person whose name you have not
yet given, Mr.. Hardinge," he intl-
mated.

valid with difficulty.

"Ah, he has collapsed. Quick, the
doctor" exclaimed Mr.. Viele, but he
himself hurried In quest of him. He
did not find him In the library, It
seemed. for Dudley heard his heavy
tread cross the room, and then his
voice in the hall beyond insistently
calling for the only person who might
revive the dying man.
Dudley had sprung to the side of the
couch. At a glance he discovered that
death had struck Its final blow. The
body Of the dying man after quick
convulsion was growing rigid, the face
had become CHASTITY. Barely able to
move, John Hardinge expressed q +

Dudley North had travelled nearly q
thousand miles by land and water. He
was wearied and heavy-eyed, but he
propounded the query with mingled
solicitude and eagerness In his tones.
Once the house he had just entered

had admitted this old favorite without
delay. Dudley had hurried to the IL

In serious consultation. Both welcom-
