napkin.
Really, Miss-Colin. there is very
little to tell. Your brother was the
almost puzzling psychological prob

could have been one of the most bril-
liant scholars the institution ever
turned out. He literally drank up ev-
erything the college had to give, and
that without apparent effort-as the
desert drinks the dew. His penman-

English-very remarkable. | was his

the truth-Kenwood Colin was a very
severe trial to the college authorities.
His talent for learning was equaled
only by his talent for mischief. Yet,
wild as he was known to be, nobody
thought that he would ever have
forged his fathers name. He was
deeply IN debt before his very clever
~forgeries were ever suspected, much
less detected.
"Then came his sensational killing
of a gambler over a card game, and his
subsequent escape somewhere into the
great underworld of the city. Since
that, nothing more seems to have been
heard of him."

The clink of the dishes ceased and

Supper was on the table. The woods
mar tool his place with the others.
The banker dropped his hands in his
lap, nodding toward the preacher, and
bowed his head.
The traditions of the Flatwoods
called for a long and sonorous grace
a sort of sermonette-when the preach
er was a guest, but the new minister
seemed never to have heard of any
such tradition. The grace he said was
so short. so direct and concise, yet so
beautiful in thought and dictfpn that
the banker looked at him in pleased
surprise.
Supper over, there fell a moment of
silence-the delicious breath of repoSe

chance to foreclose in a short time.
The girl seized the favorable mo-

Her father stopped marking on the
tablecloth and sat very still; the
housekeeper crossed her knife and

The old banker, with his daughter a
step behind him, advanced, touched his
faded black hat and extended his hand.
"The Rev. Caleb Hopkins, low?'
The eyes behind the huge spectacles
lighted. The young preacher dropped
one of his satcheis and met the out

pressed it closer than the occasion

CHAPTER III
Three Candles.


The last flare of sunset had followed
the Wabash out under the rim of the
west by the time Jack Warhope came
back along the orchard path to the
r%ed-roofed cottage.
From the porch at the front Of the
house came the drone of the bankers
voice, broken occasionally by the
preachers precise, jerky sentences.
Warhope listened for a moment.
The money-lender was talking about
a quarter-section that he had fore
closed on the day before. The woods
man had heard many an hour of that
talk. With a shrug of his shoulders,
he pushed the gate open and walked
around to the kitchen door.
With a step that the woods had
made light as a falling leaf he slipped
in and stood ~motionless. The portly,
pudgy form of Mrs. Curry, the house
keeper, was bent oyer the cook stove,
busy with the supper.
The fit of a shadow and the clink
of dishes in the adjoining dining room
told the grinning intruder that Texie
was "settin' the table. For such an
occasion there would be a white cloth,
the best silver would be out, and there
