that he would tell me was that he had
found a new interest In life. l don't
know what 1t was but I don't think 1t
was nice one. He seemed to drop all
his old friends, too, and go about with
a new set altogether-not a nice set
at all. He used to stay out all night,
and he quite gave up going to dances
and places where he could take me.
Once or twice he came here In the
afternoon, dead beat, without having
been to bed at all, and before he could
say half a dozen words he was asleep
In my easy-chair. He used to mutter
such horrible things that / had to
wake him up"

Francis asked.
She shook her head.
"Not seriously" she answered. HE
was quite well-off, besides what mis-
people allowed him. was going to
have a wonderful settlement as soon
as our engagement was announced.
However to go on with what l was
telling you, the very night before-it
happened-he came In to see me, look
ing like nothing on earth. He cried
like a baby, behaved like a lunatic.
and called himself all manner or
names. He had had a great deal too
much to drink, and gathered that he
had seen something horrible. 1t was
then he asked me to dine with him the
next night, and told me that he was
going to break altogether with his new
friends. Something In connection with
them seemed to have given him ter.
rible fright"
Francis nodded. He had the tact
to abandon his curiosity at this pre-
else point.
"The old story" he declared, bad
company and rotten habits. / suppose
some one got to know that the young
man usually carried great deal OF
money about with him."
"It was so foolish Of him." she as
sented eagerly. II warned him about
It so often. The police won't listen to
1t but / am absolutely certain that he
was robbed. l noticed when he paid
the bill that he had a great wad OF
bank-notes which were never discov-
cred afterward."
And with that information Francis
had to be satisfied when he took his
leave.
