for their kindness to you."
The Bank Book
"A check?" asked Fanchon,
astonished.
Mrs. Carstairs rose and went
over to a rosewood desk. From
the drawer she took new bank
book and gave it to Fanchon.
Fanchon opened it. 1t assured
her that in a certain New York
bank a certain sum had been
deposited to the order Of Evelyn
Howard.
1--WE can arrange for your
signature later" Mrs. Carstairs
told her, "It is your allowance"
Fanchon stared at the check
book. Money! Under false pre-.
lenses! But she had money OF
her own. No, it was not hers.
It was Tony's. She could not
spend more Of it, she must one
day manage somehow to return
it to him. Yet how could. she,
without ravelling the web OF de-
ceit which she had set herself
to weave? Yet this money
which was offered her was not
her own, either.
Nothing could make 1t so.
"It is your allowance" said
Mrs Carstairs again, "and will
be paid quarterly.
The deposit was $2,500:
The deposit was twenty-five
hundred dollars.
A Large Sum
Fanchon flushed and paled
again. ...
"But I can't--it is to much
T." she stammered.
Ten thousand dollars a year!
Mrs. CarstairS said gently.
You will need pocket money.
And clothes. am going to
give myself the great pleasure
of outfitting you, first, from

you may use your allowance as
you see fit"
She added,
"I have more money than I
can possibly spend. Collin has
his own income. His fathers
fortune was divided between
us and has more than doubled.
Collin has a seat on the Stock
Exchange as well and is doing
famously. I have always felt
that that I owed you
something. You see, while the
estate left by your grandpar-
entS was not large, 1t all came
to me. Half of it should have
been your mothers. I shall
never forgive myself" she said
low, "and May never forgave
me-"
Fanchon said, low, desperate
ly anxious to help by some
word of comfort:
IT am sure she did"
Mrs. Carstairs eyes lighted.

don't know how happy you
have made me! But I will not

moved to the bedside table
and took up the thermos jug

the sleeping powders into it
and gave it into Fanchon's
hand. Drink that. Doctors

If you wish anything in the

sleeping next door to be near

tuck you in now."
A WOman's Business
She drew a sheet and light
blanket over Fanchon, and took
the negligee from her shoulders.
"Lie down." she said, and stoop-
ing, kissed her. Fanchon held
her tightly for a minute. In
another moment the lights were

gently into the room and stirred

Two hours later Fanchon
snapped on the bedside light
and took the second sleeping
powder. Her brain was like a
merry.go-round. She lay and
tossed in a sort Of fever of de-
Spair. No going back now. And
she. didn't want to 60 back.
Her whole heart had gone out
to Jennie CarStairS. If she had

years ago in Alaska where a big
hydraulicking company placed an
engineer in charge Of testing con-
Siderable ground for placer gold.
He got a high priced drill crew

used and six inch holes drilled
into bedrock.
II took from three 70 ten days

were uniformly good. Several sea-

then on the recommendation Of
the engineer, a large sum Of
money was invested in hydraul-
