was twenty-one that I was to
have a guardian. So now 1 may

either. You win pay me back

The man caught her hands in
his and pressed kisses upon them.
Then suddenly he dropped them.
What am I thinking OFT" he
exclaimed. 81 was dazed by
your wonderful offer that I for
got everything but your good
ness-your generosity. said you
had no right to let me have that
money. You say you have. But
have no right to accept it."
you have" she exclaimed, her
eyes shining and her cheeks
glowing with the joy Of giving.
1.-THE fact that you are my friend
allows you not only the right,
but makes It your duty to let me
be Of service to you"
In spite Of the fact that she was
her own mistress. Winifred did not
find it as easy as she had hoped to
give away five thousand dollars.
For on consulting her check
book she discovered that she did
not have that amount in the bank.
She was sure she had lots of
money, but did not know just how
to get hold Of it.
She would not, consult Donald.
So she made call on Mr.. Dayton,
her fathers lawyer.
That gentleman explained to her
that she had securities on which
she could realize at any time. She
also had money in several savings
banks.
She remembered now that DON
aid had told her this. In her ex.
element she had forgotten it. But
how was she to get the money she
wanted out of the savings banks?
Mr.. Dayton told her how. In
deed, he offered to go with her to
two banks for the money. But
first he asked her II she was sure
that she was wise in drawing out
such a sum.
'It is none of my business to
interfere" he added. But, dear
child. must you have this money?
And have you consulted Mr.. Muir,
your ex-guardlian, about it?"
No, she explained frankly, she
had not. The money was for q
charity in which she was inter-
ested. She would prefer that no.
body should know just how much
she was giving.
Charles Dayton nodded.
81 see, I see" he muttered. "You
don't want your left hand to know
what your right hand does. That
is like your father. my dear. I re-
spect your confidence. Butt hope
you are acting wisely"

money again."
Upstairs Hartman tossed un-
easily; half conscious, and with
unwilling tenement, he involun-
tarily drew in his breath through
the tube still held tightly be-
tween clenched teeth.
At the cost of positive danger
to the kitchen chair, Mrs. Grogan
reached the gas meter and
dropped one Of the quarters into
it's gaping mouth.

He was rather proud of his
powers of discernment, and hav-
ing seen certain look in Dom
aid Muir's eyes when he was
with Harrison SCOTS orphaned
daughter, Dayton had already
decided that the prosperous real
estate man was going to Harry
his ward. It was natural that
Winifred should prefer to keep
from her lover for q while
the knowledge of her gifts to
charity. 1t flattered the elderly
lawyer that the child had come
to him for advice.
Thus it came about that, be-
fore the expiration Of the ten
days of grace which Muir had
allowed Rankin, Winifred Scott
was able to draw a check for
$4,000 and hand it to the young
reformer.
He laid it on the table and.
taking a notebook from his pocket,
wrote in 1t an acknowledgment
OF the loan" with the promise
to pay it back ION demand"
Then he signed the promise and
tearing out the page, handed IT
to Winifred.
"This will protect you," he
said. as she read 1t slowly.
This is not necessary" she
protested. II trust you"
I know You do. That fact is
the greatest honor that has ever
come into my life. With heavens
help it will make me a better
man."
She was seated in a great
chair, and he dropped on one
knee in front Of her and raised
her hand to his lips.
II am at your feet In heart
as we'll as in face" he MUIR
INJURED. Il have no words with
which to express my gratitude
for what You have done for me.
Even though the sum there"
glancing at the check on the
table, sis only a loan that I
will pay back as surely as my
life is spared, it means more
to me than many thousands Of
dollars would-for it is proof
that you deem me worthy of
your trust. There is no way in
which can thank you. My
heart and I, myself, are at your
service now and always"
He was like a hero in a story
book, she reflected, letting the
wonder Of his homage sink deep
into her consciousness. He re-
sembled Byron more than ever.
His eyes were so large and dark,
his forehead so fair beneath the
mass of dark hair that he had
pushed back with the gesture with
which she had become familiar.
Mrs. Bates was coming down the
hall.
Richard sprang to his feet, but
not hastily nor awkwardIy. He
was singularly graceful and I'M
hurried in all his movements. He
stood in silence until the steps that
had hesitated a moment at the
door had passed on toward the
rear Of the apartment. Then he
spoke softly, almost timidly.

''Show me the location OF the
logging camp on the map" inter-
rupted Ralph. who had sat silent
with two perpendicular burrows
between his brows.
Mr.. Hennabsrry arose and
moved a few red pegs on large,
dusty wall map. Finally he
pointed with skinny forefinger.
Ralph leaned forward. Then he
turned with his face agIow.
''Of all the luckw he cried in d
ringing voice. '"That's less than

Ralph's eyes held mine, COM

It was nearly six when Ralph
Lacy and I left the office Of the

walked along together in silence
for several moments. Then I
turned to Ralph and cried tensely:
"You believe the boy up in the
Canadian lumber camp is Neal,

out saying the word too much,
which would have unnerved me.

INTERESTING AUTOMOBILE
CASE SETTLED In COURT
Verdict Of Jury Sets Precedent
For Auto Drivers Meeting
On The Highway

An interesting case was settled in
court this week, it being that Of the
automobile collision between care
driven by William Bunting and Harry
Sharpley, said collision occurring on
Market street, Pocomoke City, Md.
Mr.. Bunting was entering town, Mr..
Sharpley going out. The former, &C.
cording to law, kept to the right-hanj
side of the street. Meeting him and
driving, according to the evidence,
faster than he should, was the latter.
Mr.. Sharpley, it was also shown, was
maintaining a direction on the left
hand side of street which, if persisted
in, would inevitably result in a crash.
He did, as was proved, persist in it
long enough to cause Mr.. Bunting to
fear for the life Of himself and fami-
ly if he continued to hold the right
hand side of the street; he therefore
determined to turn to the left to a.
void a collision. Mr.. Sharpley, it
seems, about the same instant, decided
to turn to the right to get out of Mr..
Buning's way-result crash. Luckily
no lives lost, but several minor in
juries, and wrecked car.
Mr.. Bunting sued Mr.. Sharpley for
damages, and the jury gave the plain
tiff a verdict for $150.80.
The case, it appeared, was thus ad-
judged on the ground that Bunting
used all discretion in his power, and
was well within his rights in veering
from the legal side of the street.
The facts showed, however, that had
he kept to the right side, the collis-
ion would never have occurred, since
the crash came when he turned to the
left. This decision sets a precedent.
In steering your car you must turn
to the right soon enough for the one
you are meeting to judge immistak-
ably your intentions. You can not
maintain a position on the left to a
point when you miss the approaching
car by hairs breadth and contend
you are within your rights. Safety
FIST; turn out early enough to settle
the question of the direction you are
to pursue.
The Pilchard-Long case, suit for
$4,000 damages by Victoria Long a.
gainst John Pilchard for the killing
of her husband, was withdrawn, set
tlement being made out of court.

On Trip To New
Big Ocean Liner

Francis M. Wilson, Frank E. Hud-
son, Francis D. Young, J. Francis Will
son, J. Milton Clogg, and VIM. D.
Keim will leave tonight for Newport
News, returning tomorrow night.
The main objective Of their trip is
a visit to the huge ocean liner, Le-
viathan, now lying at that place. The
way has been made clear for them by
Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough,
who has given them letter of intro
duction to the proper authorities,
which will insure them passage across
the gang plank Of this sea monster.
To gain some idea of her size, it is
said two railroad trains counld pass
one. another inside her stacks. If ev-
erything else is as large in proper
tion, she is indeed a veritable float
ing city.
