HOW HE FOUND ODT.
UV K. IlItUKi: COI.LISS.
"Is this thing true? I can scarcely be
lieve it?"
Gerald Vane's face was very pale as Iio
spoke, and Ills blue eyes grew dark as iilnht
with repressed excitement.
Lawyer Claj ton took off bis spectacles
ami wiped them vigorously, thon roplaced
them onco more upon his nose.
"My dear boy!" in a tone of real sym
pathy "I am sorry, indeed, but tltls soit
of thing, though very disappointing and
crushing, cannot bo helped. X alwajs
feared that there might appear In time an
other.clalmant to your fortune. This comes
of making no provision for llio future. Had
old General Clare executed a will and left
his immense fortune to whom ho wished,
all this might havo been avoided. You
wcto his most trusted friend, though only
a distant relative. Before ho died ho men
tioned to mo that you would inherit as
heir at law.- You know, his death was so
awfully sudden: ho was stricken down so
unexpectedly, that he had no tlmo for
preparation or explanation. When he died
you canie into possession, and have en
joyed tho fortune ever since; until, of
course, it has become part of your exist
ence to bo known as tho heir of General
Clare, who died worth millions. Yet, hero
comes n letter Hlco a blow It fell upon mc,
Gerald which says the only daughter of
the.Bcneral's dead son, Hobert Clare, Is
living. Kathleen is her name, and tho
lino which accompanied her lawyer's epistle
to mo was certainly ladylike and well ex
pressed. It seems that sho Is not awaro
that her grandfather's cstato has been
claimed by another. Sho Is very poor, and
says that a small sum would be a boon to
her; but, "of course, XJerald, if sho takes
auy, sho must havo all,"
"Of course."
i'Shesays," continued the old Jawycr
gravely, "that sho-is coming to this city
shortly to Investigate the matter. That
sho will find a home with a lady whilo
here and tho matter is pending. Iam sure
siie utiles like a very sensible young wo
man," ho added, glancing oyer the lcttei
in his hand onco moro. "Shu called upon
mo yesterday," ho added, "and'I declare J
am charmed with her.- Gerald, I declare
so I amrry very honestly sorry that this
thing has occiured. It is hard lines for
you,my boy!" the kindly old mail repeated,
glancing into tlio pale, quiet faco onco
more.
Gerald Vano arose to his feet.
"Ah J well, Mr. Clayton," ho said, calm
ly, "thcro aro worso calamities in this
world than tho were loss of riches, which
am prone to take wings, jou know! As
long as I am strong and have my health, I
shall rjofrcplnc. Then Is only
Ho stopped short, with a sudden mem
ory creeping over him like a chill.
"I had forgotten in tho first shock," ho
added abruptly "I had not thought.
There Is Jlabel! How will sho bear It?"
How, indeed. Mabel Thornton was not
a woman accustomed to poverty, or tho
hardships of dally lifo without wealth. She
was not rich, it Is true, hut she possessed
sufficient of this woiM's goods to lift her
above the grind of a daily encounter with
tho rough sldo of life. But she was proud
and ambitious, this beautiful Jabcl Thorn
ton, who had been Gerald Vano's betrothed
wifo for a wholo month now. He remem
bered how dainty and dellcato she was, and
his heart grow cold within his breast.
Would sho bo able to bear It? He checked
a sigh.
"It Is my duty to tell her without delay 1"
ho said. "Mr. Clayton, I am going to call
upon Miss Thornton! She ought to know-
all as soon as possible."
"You aro right, Gerald. That will ho
the most honorable- course. Good-morn
ing," ho added, as Gerald took his hat and
left tho ofllce, his faco palo and troubled.
The keen eyes of tho old lawyer followed
the young man's graceful figure. Ho shook
his head slowly and dubiously.
"Poor boy! he Is trusting In tho frailest
of all frail things a fashionable woman's
constancy," he muttered. "God help
him."
Tale and stern, Gorald Vano strode on
down the street, his thoughts busy with
ono perplexing menial question. "How
will Mabel bear it?" And as ho hastened
onward, with compressed lips and troubled
face, ho heard the sound of horses' feet
tearing down tho street. Ho turned in
voluntarily to sco a team of spirited blacks
dashing down tho crowded thoroughfare,
and rlnht before them, on tho crossing, a
girl a slight, graceful little figure, In a
plain grey serge, dress, Gerald's eyes fell
upon her, and his heart gave a bound, Tho
girl was In danger of being trampled to
death beneath those Iron-shod hoofs, yet
sho could not ex t ilea to herself from the
crowd of vehicles coming and going from
both directions. A moment later ho had
darted lo tho spot, and, seizing the girl's
arm, drew her aside to a place of tenipor
ary safety; after which tho rest was easy,
and the young girl saved from bodily harm,
perhaps death Itself,
Ho was conscious, of a pair of soft, brown
eyes gazing Into his own, and a pale,
frightened little face, while a sweet, tremh
ling voice faltered broken thanks for what
he had done.
In tho midst of her thanks she broko oft
abruptly.
"Oh, I am afraid I hayo lost the bundle
that I was carr-lng!'' sho grasped In
frlgfftcncd accents "tho pretty lace, and
Oh, dear sho will kill mc."
Ho gleaned from her at last that sho was
In tho employ of a lady, who had sent her
to purchase some costly lace, to bo brought
for the lady's Inspection, and if It pleased
her she would retain It. Gerald turned to
tho weeping girl; sho seemed onlyaliltlo
moro than a child.
"Do not gnovo sol" ho said kindly,
"Suroly no woman could be so harsh as to
blamo you for an accident! And your lifo
was at stnke," ho added, with a swift
glance Into the pale llttlo face, which
brought tho blushes to her checks. "Let
mo walk homo with voul" ho added
suddenly.
Sho made no objection, and Ihcy moved
onward, turning soon into tho samo fash
lonablo avenue whoro his betrothed bride
resided, pausing at length, much to his
surpiisc, at the very house which was
Mabol Thornton's home.
A little later tho door had opened to ad
mit them. Gerald turned to cntortho draw
ing room.
"Say-to Miss Thornton that Mr. Vane is
waiting for hcf-hero!'' ho stid to tho ser
vant, who know him well as Miss Thorn
ton's Intended husband.
Tho man bowed and Gerald entered tho
drawing-room, while tho girl whom ho had
rescued hastened In search of her omploycr.
Sho found her at last in a pretty llttlo
apartment which opened from tho drawing
room, and was separated by portieres, ami,
standing In the drawing-room. Gerald
Vano was an unwilling listener.
Tho girl told her story In a low, tremb
ling tone.
" iniat!" cried a woman's voicc.so sharp
anil shrill and angry that Gerald started
up with a cry of consternation, for ho rec
ognized his Mabel usually dulcet lanes.
"Do you lmagino for a moment that I can
bo imposed upon by such a tale? You
havo stolen tho lace, but you shall pay for
it, I was foolish to allow you to come hero
at all, and now I command you lo go.
Lcayo my houso at once!"
"But, Miss Thornton, I am a stranger In
tho city, and utterly alone. The business
whlclsbrought mo here Is at a standstill,
and I can do nothing at present. So, I
was glad lo have the shelter of your roof.and
sow for you to pay for my board. But I
cannot rcplaco the laco, Jlss Thornton
you know that I am too poor. And If I go
away, what will become of mo?"
"I don't carol You aro nothing lo mc,
and I do not keep a home for tho friendless.
You havo stolen my laco; you shall go at
once do you heir mc? Lcavo!"
And then the door bell rang again, and
to Gerald Vano's surprise old Lawyer Clay
ton was usnercci into llio room where ho
stood, just as tho portieres were dashed
aside, and Mabel Thornton, quite uncon
scious of tho prosenco of the two men In
her drawing-room,'madc her appearance.
She was palo with anger; her dark eyes
wcro flashing with uncontrollable wrath.
and one jeweled hand clutched tho should
ar of tho shrinking, weeping olrl.
'ou shall leavo at onco!" the shrill
voice repealed, "or
Sho came to an abrupt halt, the words
dying upon her lips In a grasping cry as her
eyes fell upon Gerald Vane and his com
panion.
"Gerald!"
Ho checked bet with a contemptuous
gesture.
"I havo heard enough; thcro is no ex
planation possible," ho said coldly. "I
came here, Mabel, to tell yon that my for
tune Is gone, and to release you from our
engagemenit. an engagement which has
only been a mistake."
"Your money Is gone?" sho grasped,
brokenly.
Yes!" intervened Lawyer Clayton,
calmly. "Tho fortune which Gonoral
Claro left to Mr, Vane rightfully bclougs to
tho general's granddaughter, Miss Kath
lecn Clare, tho young lady whom you have
so grossly Insulted."
Imagine tho sceno which followed.
Kathleen had come to tho city, knowing
nothing at all of Gerald Vane, and had
claimed her Inheritance, leaving tho mat
tcr In Lawyer Clayton's hands to adjust.
But sho was without money, and so had
found a situation as maid and seamstress
In return for her board, until tho business
should bo finally adjusted.
And this Is how It came about that Ger
ald Vano discovered tho truo nature of his
betrothed wife, and escaped unhappy
marriage.
Six months later he mado sweet- Kath
leen Clare his wife, and to the day of his
death he never ceased to be grateful that
ho had found out thn truth before It was
too late.
PAINLESS DEATH.
The uso of carbon dioxide has been recom
mended as a speedy and painless means of
extinguishing lifo In animals, hut It
appears that death docs not always ensuo
at onco on suffocation by this gas. A frog
was recently placed In carbon dloxldo for
half an hour, ant' then, apparently dead,
was subjected to souio electrical experi
ments, but two hours later was discovered
as lively as oy cr. The observation suggests
that suffocation may produce at first a kind
of catalepsy, and that life should not bo
too hastily pronounced extinct In poisons
taken from burning buildings, mines, etc.
THE DANGERS OF FRIENDSHIP
Wife Didn't you hayo a fuss with
neighbor Schmidt yesterday?
Husband I called him a thief and a
liar.
."What did you do that for? I'm suie he
has always been kind to us."
'That's just It. He has been so friendly
of late that I was afraid that he was going
to ask me lend him money, so to bead him
oft I Insulted him. Guess he'll not want
to borrow any money from ma for a good
while."
