I would be glad to believe that it was his love for Miss Lawrence that took him across the ocean, but his per- sistency in making his term of absence a year gives me a discomforting sus- picion of which I cannot free myself.

Strange that he does not name an address through which I can commaini- cate with him. If he is kept away, after learning the whereabouts of Miss Lawrence, by his dread of Discoe and Huke, I cen:quickly remove that fear. and I will not permit myself to believe that any ether cause can hold him in check.

My thoughts were revolving in this channel, when a letter dropped through the slit in the door. Snatching it up. my heart Beat more quickly as I re- cognized the writing of Harold West- cott, so like my own. The envelope bore the London postmark : ,

Impos-

shorn of my miraculous strength,

in a position where it looked

sible to deny that I was Harold West- cott, my doom would be as hopeless as that ot Tom Discoe or Jake Huke.

Such was my reasoning, but how pre we mortals are to go astray! I was not within a thousand miles of the truth.

My reflections were not of a plea- Sant nature. It looked as if I had

walked into every trap set for me and

was deprived of every chance of es- cape.

At any rate he has written to Miss Lawrence and made everything clear to her. So hereafter 1 must avoid her.”

The temptation was strong to write to Harold, taking him severely to task, with the threat that if he did not do my bidding I would expose him at all costs. Great as would be the scandal,

revertheless I could convince

sas possible for me, through an ap- peal to my collese mates and the friends of my boyhood, to establish

my identity.

** However, I will wait until his let- ter arrives.”’

It was now noon, and I startecé down

town. At precisely the same minute that I entered the broker's office on

the preceding day I st2pped across the threshold again to learn my financial fate.

I quickly learned it. J Binks CHAPTER XIX. ir A REVELATION,

With the same bland smile that he had greeted me on the preceding day the broker came forward and extend- ed his hand. Nv doubt the headsman becomes so accustomed to his ghastly business that he can thus welcome his victims.

“Mr. Westcott, have you ever specu- lated in Wall street before ?’’

** Never.”

“Nor in any kind of stocks ?”

“In none whatever.” ‘

“Will you promise toe follow my ad- vice ?’’

as that, but once in several thousand times a man like you hits it. You went blind, which is the reason. glad yeu spent several months figuring out how to make a strike, you would have rad only a few hundreds coming to you. Allow me to congratulate you and don’t forget your promise.”

He extended his hand, which — took in a dazed way and then passed out un the street. Within the same hour the cheque was deposited in the Astor hank up town, which, I may say, was

nat the one where Harold Westcott kept his account. “Jt will prevent future mistakes,’ I

seit, recalling the error in his state- ment to me;regarding his balance. “We can’t be too careful of such things.”’

On the sixth day following the ex-

pected letter arrived from Harold. It was tengthy and left nething to be told :—

Dear Sir.,—I have concluded to make a

clean breast of everything. Since telegram showed that you knew cf iss Lawrence's return to New York S probable that you have met her. At jieast you learned that she and I[ were enzaged in marriage to each other. This is a deuced unpleasant fact when

I inform you that I am already a mar- ried man. Some folks will condemn me and say I have not done the right thing. ss it isn’t exactly fair, but I swear to vou that I had no intenzion of wrong- ing her. When I asked her hand in natrriage and she accepted it, there was never a poor devil deeper im love than I. The wrong thing done by Jeanette was ior

Well, I looked elsewhere, and was not long in finding my divinity. It wes be hind the feotlights at the Olympia. Di- vine, entrancing, ravishing, irresistible as she was, learned for the first time the meaning of love—true, honest, genu- ine love.

That which I was figuring on was as to how 1 should straighten matters with Jeanette. I was still figuring at it when fate brought you and me together. Then a briliant scheme flashed upon me. You won't deny my cleverness when you come to understand its beauties.

1 would go abroad with my charmer, I would hunt up Jeanette and introduce my wife to her. Of course there would be a scream and likely enough a faint. Sut it would be all over in a few min- utes, Then, too, Jeanette could not heip wthe choice I had made. So

It was some minutes before I could

raster my emotions sufficiently to rea

son over the unprecedented state of affairs.

My first impulse was to send him every dollar in my possession, and I

actually sent out to do mon sense intervened. “Yesterday and to-day, down to the mcment I received this letter, the $25,000 was as much mine as is the suit of clothes I am wearing, but not

ment ot my brokers my fortune wés

quadrupled. From the gross amount I will deduct the $25,000, plus the small sum he turned over to me be-

fore his departure, and send it to him. ibe rest belengs to me.”

I was impatient to -earry out my de- cision, No doubt, now that Harold had a spendthrift wife on his hands, he would be glad to receive the money, and any indignant comment I chose to make would be thrown away.

A b:ll of exchange for the exact Sum Was purchased, placed in an en- velope and directed to H. O. Walcott, Berkeley house, London. The hard- est thing to do was to restrain myself from giving rein to my consuming in- dignation. I did write a letter, such as would have blistered the hide of @ ririnoceros, but after reading it over twisted it up and held a lighted match t@ the corner until it was ashes.

“He would call it a deuced good joke. He would show it to the we- man with him, and she, too, would laugh at the absurdity of it. They shall not have that consolation.”

So when the missive reached Harold be found within the envelope a @raft fer the amount named. There was net a single werd. He would under- stand it. There are some occasions wWlere silence is a thousandfold more earressive than speech,

“hat disgusting business off my hands, I lest no time in leaving the apartments which he had occupied so long.

city, leaving directions whither my rai should be forwerded.

“Somehow or cther I am convinced that thet is the last ‘of Harold West- ectt, and that { shell rever hear of him again.”

But I was mistaken. Ten days later the startling interruption came in @ form ef which I had wever dreamed.

The Monkey’s Dinner Bell,

Nature has hundreds of queer ways of scattering secds broadcast, but none of them is more peculiar than that of a South American tree called Hura crepi- tans. A celebrated naturalist, in speak- ing of this remarkable tree, uses the fol- lowing language: ‘A curious instance of seed scaticring (shooting them from the pod) is afforded by Hura crepitans, a hand- wmMe tree which is quite common in the

valley of the Amazon. This tree has a pe wilhiay Peeead 7 + ; culiar fruit, somewhat flattened, with a

deeply furrowed or fluted body, made up of a circle of many cells, each containing one secd. When the seeds are ripe, the cells open and expel them with 4 loud re- port; hence the fruit is sometimes called the ‘monkey’s dinner bell.’

“‘Stoties have been told of hura fruits being placed in desks, and subsequently opening and discharging their seeds with such violence as to break ink wells, and even to crack the wood of the desk.”’

The Prince’s Guests,

A guest of the Prince of Wales at Marl- borough House is overwhelmed by atten- tions. A number of servants herald your arrival and departure, and there are usu- ully two servants standing outside your room: door when you are staying in the house and a man behind the chair of every guest at mealtime.

The most civilized nations are as near barbarity as the most polished steel is to rust. Nations, like metals, are only pol- ished on the surface. —Rivarol.
