Joel Bennet sat in his office, looking

face was drawn, and seemed

see that this was an unhappy man,
though he kaew nothing of his past

woman you loved would not accept

Over the pale face of Joel came a
burning flame, He tried to conceal
lus feeling#, but It was evident that an
almost mortal wound had been probed
to the very nerve centre,
“Well, Joel, keep your money,’ con-
tinued Richard, A loan now would
soil my fingers, I can get through in
some way. But let me tell you this:
Your life is a mistake. I would rather

“Wea are much attached to the old

Joel did not see the unsubdued tears.
He was so imperturable that he might
have been deaf and blind. Mr. Burnaby
scraped his foot over the floor, and felt
like pulling his hair. He turned
back, and rubbed a blotting pad across

A few days after this little scene
Joel had occasion to make a trip to
the country to examine land he was on
point purchasing. The snow
had almost blockaded the roads and
obliterated the landmarks, but |
rand was of the utmost importance
and it was imperative that he sho
undertake the trip. The affair was not
of a nature to be intrusted to the ques-
tionable talents of Mr. Barnaby. So
he set forth from his office door in a
light sleigh drawn by good horses, and
himself thoroughly equipped with muf-
flers and robes,
On starting, he cast his eyes up at
the glaring sun, and noticed that the
glorious orb had two satellites stream-
ing after him like giants, This indi
cated very cold weather; but the bro-
ker paid little heed, and dashed away.
The broken roads near the town en-
couraged him, and he was just con-
gratulating himself on his good fortune
when the lane where he was to diverge
from the highway came before his eyes
—a vast, smooth, up-piled stretch of
drifts as far as he could see. No thor-

ing to cut a fence and drive across
fields. This he did, but found only a
very labored and circuitous route,
Frigid fogs soon enveloped the sun,
and the wind commenced booming
through the trees, It cut the snow
loose, and tossed it high,
upward and onward, like great pillars,
and filled the whole atmosphere with
its swift flight.

trade he was going to make with Pax-
ton. He forgot the world was in white
mail, and so disguised as to be unrec-
ognizable. Still, after a time, the pain
of intense cold obtruded itself on him.
He arose to his feet and surveyed the
situation, There seemed to be thou-
sands of demoniac voices howling In
the gale, which dashed sheet-like drifts
of ice and snow in his face, and took
his breath away.
The horses became unmanageable,
rearing and turning about to avoid the
beating of the pitiless tempest. He
could do nothing toward compelling
them any longer to obey him, All

Bowed thus, he waited and gave up
hope. No, not quite. The convulsive

A dozen times his cries were borne

to town, and the storm was still rag-

moment in nisking his life to save that
of nis brother, Joel, in an intermis-
sion of distreas, remonstrated, and told
him not to think of going out. As he
thought of the fierce and deadly cold
and the howling wind, he deemed such
an attempt suicidal He clutched
Richard by the arm.
“No, you can’t go. The roads are
blocked. You would die on the way.
I shall do well enough. Don't throw
away your life for me, who has wronged
you. I tell you I am not in danger, I
can walk about.”
Sure enough he could; but he tot-
tered, and would have fallen if Richard
had not caught him. They laid hs
limp form on the lounge again, and
Richard rushed forth on his perilous
journey.
The sick man lay delirious, groaning
and tossing about in the heat of fever.
