THE DAILY STORY Sylvia's Fortune In a well appointed but not luxurious library two men stood staring; at onch other. Tho younger, whlte-facetl and startled, leaned with ono hand on a mn liotrnny table. The other, older nnd more calm, smiled with conscious prido and triumph. "Orvllle Weston!" gasped tho younger man. "You here?" "You seem scarcely pleased to seo me, Mnrsden," replied tho visitor coolly, as ho took a chair. "I Just arrived. Ot course, you understand." "N-no. What do you want?" "I have Just learned ot your remark able good fortune. It Is not every fellow who escapes State prison to bo mude cus todlnn of a young girl's wealth." "Hush! Sho Is In tho house. Tou know I was Innocent of that crime." "Innocent?" sneered Weston. "Of course, every fellow Is Innocent until he Is proven guilty. Tho crime was com mitted." Young JInrsdcn almost reeled. He glanced nervously tovvord the library door. It was nearlng midnight. "I know," said Weston. "She Is with your undo ami aunt nt the theatre. But beforo they reach home we'll have a talk. I'm broke, Marsden." "So nm I." "I know you nre. A fellow Just ad mitted to the bar can't be expected to have mndo a pile. But you've got Sylvia Ford's fortune In your keeping." Marsden, who was not the hardened man of tho world his unwelcome visitor was, turned still whiter nnd glanced ap prehensively toward a small Bafe. Weston laughed. "You give yourself away so plainly. So it Is there. Is It? What Is It? Cash? BondB? Something negotiable? Sit down, I want to talk to you." Feeling himself weak and powerless In tho hands of this man ho hated and feared, Marsden sank Into a chair. "Remember old Whittaker?" asked Weston In a soft, reminiscent volco, as he eyed his companion with tho gaze of a hypnotist. "What a fad there was that summer at the lake for tho signa tures of celebrities? And Whittaker had Just brought out a book. He was fttl the rags thero then, and you had the fever, a well ns the women. Tou had an autograph booka singularly con venient one. Itemember, Whittaker put his signature bn n page perilously hear the bottom remember?" Mnradcn's breath was coming; fast and painfully. "And remember a month after that a draft for $4000 was cashed, signed by Whittaker, nhd although he swore ho never gave It, tils nemo was attached, and ho had to admit the signature?" "I tho book was Btolcn," whispered Stnrmlen. "You know who took It." "Oh, no: I knew nothing about It. But the book, Willi the mli.tlng page torn out, could easily have been Identified ns your own. You know that." "It was never found." ' "Oh, yes. It wns found. It Is In exist once today. And the detectives nre not through with tho case yet. I know where the book Is, Mnrsden." "But I nm Innocent. I did not use the page." "Hut who would believe you? You owned tho book. You asked Whittaker to sign Ills nnme. You said you wanted him on a page all by himself. He neg lected to add n verse he left tho page blank except for his namo. You needed inonoy. You had money after the draft to hearer was cashed. Ilcmembcr?" "My uncle gavo mo that." "Who would believe It? Don't you know, Fred Mnradcn, that the production of that book now, the fitting of the pngo where It was torn out, your nnmo on tho rover, would bo cvldenco dilllcult to refute?" "My God, yes." "And you, Just stnrllng out on your enroor. In lovo with tho most beautiful girl In your set, with tho world before you, would probably bo sent to prison would surely be sent to prison. Do you think of t'nnt?" "You dnro notl You cannot!" "I dnro, enn, nnd will If you do not obey mo. Listen. I know that you aro oo-trustco with your undo of Sylvia Ford's fortune, ntid I know from your wild look toward the snfo that some of It Is thorc. I want money. I will hnvo money ono way or another. You hne the Investing of the money. You can glvo mo what you hnvo horc you will novor bo suspected. You will rise, you will marry Sylvia, nnd In time enn make It good. You will not bo harmed no body will bo "harmed. On the other hand prison for four thousand of Whlt tnker'H good ensh, disgrace and the loss of Sylvln." "Tako your choice." said Weston. 'coolly. Thoughts that burned llko molten lava rushed through Marsden's brain. Ho won no longer master of himself. Like a rann In n dream ho rose from his rhnlr, moved by the powerful will of the other, nnd crossed to the snfo. Instinctively Weston turned the lights low. Mnrsden moved like a tnnn walking In his sleep. Dimly he wns conscious of his lifelong Innocence, but the words of Weston were ringing In his cars. And he loved Sylvia na few men ever love. Ho opened tho snfe. Thero lay n pllo of bank notes notes he had drawn from tho bank Hint afternoon. Ho vaguely wondered how Weston knew. Thero wns a dim recollection of seeing a man llko Weston In tho bank when he drew tho monoy. "There's n light," said a silvery voice. "Fred must be waiting for us." AVcston was perplexed. Ho glnnccd nround. In the library wns a largo screen. Noiselessly he slid behind that. Mnrsden did ntjt know. The realization of whnt ho had tlone had como upon Marsden now and deprived him ot rea son. How could he provo that he had been thrratened With a revolver? How could he provo that he had not taken tho money himself? Who would believe that Weston had walked In and then out ngaln with ?.r.O0O? His brain whirled. Ho wns beside him self. A beautiful girl In nn opera clonk, with a smile on her lips, tiptoed to the library door to surprise the lover In whom sho had so much confidence. Sho stood horror-stricken on the threihold. Mnrsden sat with his head turned away, with his right elbow resting on the table, his hnnd raised, and her own revolver pointed at his head. She dared not startle him. Sho saw that he was meditating. Thero was but n second to spare. With tho flight of a bird she sprang to his side. "Fred!" sho cried, nnd knocked down the hnnd that held tho weapon. It exploded. Thero wns n cry from behind tho screen. It fell toward them, nnd tho body of Weston, still with his own revolver In his hand, but with a bul let from Sylvia's pistol In his heart, plunged across tho screen to the floor. "My God!" said Marsden, nnd then ho lost consciousness. In Weston's pocket wns found the nl bum from which Whlttnlter's name had been torn. Marsdcn's explanations wero clear nnd convincing. A month later ho nnd Svlvla wero mar ried, but she shudders when she recalls that night nnd thinks what nnother mo ment of delay In reaching homo would have cost her. (Copyright. 1915.) WHY IT'S BLUE MONDAY When the averago man s gallant on Monday something Is sure to happen. Harry Craig, who commutes from GOth nnd Market streets, saw an old woman drop n glove today and stooped to pick It up. As he reached for the glove his eye glasses fell to the floor. Tho woman waB about to step off tho enr at 13th street and n second's delay would have mndo It too late to reach her. The gnllant paB sengor let the rrlasses lay and handed the woman her glove. Tho delay was fatal. A drowsy passen ger suddenly realized that the door was about to closo at his station. Ho Jumped up nnd used Craig's glasses for a door mat. The only thing discernible on the floor wns the frame. F.von this was twisted pathetically. Craig looked at tho passenger with the powerful feet In a way which made words Impossible. "You had no right to leave your glasses on tho floor," growled tho man. It will cost the gallant Craig 7.50 to repair tho damage. In the gloom thnt followed he rode three stations past his exit point. know ) I wen., you see, i'm apouv ths ', ' VAViT ONLYONe H6R6 A0OUT3 THAT ' , THE TEMPTING OF TAVERNAKE By B.

Ho held out hlfl other hand and half rose, but her lips suddenly ceased to quiver and she wnved him bnck. "No, Leonard," sho begged, "pleaso don't do or say anything foolish, Since wo do meet again, though, like this, I am going to ask you ono question, What mado you como to mo and nsk me to marry you that day?" He looked away; something In her eyes accused him. "Beatrice," ho confessed. "I was a thick-headed Ignornnt fool, without understanding. I came to you for safety. I was afraid of Kllzaboth, I wns afraid of what I felt for her. I wanted to escape from It." Sho smiled plteously. "And now?" sho asked. "Beatrice!" Sho turned nnd faced him. She looked Into his eyes very scarchlliRly, very wist fully. "Beatrice," ho Bald, "I aok you once more, only differently. Will you marry mo now? I'll find somo work, I'll mnko enough money for us. Do you romember," ho went on, "how I used to talk, how I used to feel that I had only to put forth my strength nnd I could win any thing? I'll feel llko thnt again, Beatrice,, If you'll como to me." For the next few days Tavernnko loafed. On his return ono afternoon from a long walk, he saw a familiar figure sitting upon the sea wnll In front of the work shop, a familiar Ilgure, but n Btrango ono In thto parts. It was Mr. I'rltchard, In an American felt hat, and smoking very black cigar. Ho leaned over and nodded to TaVcrnake, who was staring nt him aghast. "Hallo, old mnnl" he called out nun you to earth, you scol" "Yes, I seel" Tavernnko exclaimed, "Como right along up hero and lets talk," I'rltchard continued. Tavernnko oueyed. I'rltchard looked him over approvingly. Tnvcrnako was roughly dressed In those days, but na a man ho had certainly developed. "Say, you're looking fine," his visitor remarked. "Whnt wouldn't I glvo for that color nnd those shouldornl" "it Is n healthy life," Tavornako ad mitted. "Do you mean that you've como down hero to seo me?" "That's bo," I'rltchard announced; "down hero to seo you, and for no other reason. Not but that tho scenery Isn't all it should be, and that sort of thing," he went on, "but I nm not putting up any bluff about It. It's you I am hero to talk to. Aro you ready? Shall I go etrulght ahead?" "If you please," Tavernnko sold, slowly lining his pipe. For a long time Prttchard talked, straight at Tavernakc. He did not pick his words, but showed Tavernnko how vlclouslv foolish had been his attempt to run away from his obligations. He as sured Tavernnko that tho only happiness In storo for him was through labor In a new country. "I am going on a two years' vacation, said Prltchard. "I llko you well enough to ask you to como along. You don't know much about prospcoung, l recon- "Nothlng at all!" "You noon shall," Prltchard went on. "Wo'll Btart from Winnipeg. A few horses, somo guides, and a couple of tents. We'll spend 20 weeks, my friend, without seeing a town. What do you think of that?" "Gorgeous!" Tavernake muttered. "Twenty weeks we'll strike westward. I know tho wny to set about the whole Job. I know one or two of tho capitalists, too, and and If wo don't map out some of tho grandest cstntcs In British Columbia, why, my namo ain't Prltch ard." "But I hnven't a ponny In tho world," Tavernnko objected. "That's where .you'ro lying," Prltchard remarked, pulling a newspaper from his pocket. "Seo tho advertisement for your self: 'Leonard Tavernake, something to his advantage.' Well, down I went to those lawyers your old lawyer It was Martin. I told him I was on your track, and ho said 'For Heaven's sake, send the fellow along!' Say, Tavernake, ho made mo laugh tho way he described your bursting In upon him and telling him to take your land for his costu ,nnd walking out of tho room like something nlmlghty. Why, ho worked that thins bo that they hnd to buy your land, and they took him Into partnership. Ho'n made a pot of monoy, and needs no costs from you, nnd thero's the money for your land, nnd what ho had of yours besides, waiting for you." Tavernake smoked stolidly nt his pipe. "I'm coming with you," he Bald at last. CHAPTKB v. BEATRICE REFUSES. A week later Tavernake was In London. A visit to hlfl friend Mr. Martin had easily proved the truth of Prltchard's words, and he found himself In possession of a sum of monoy at least twice as great as ho had anticipated. He stayed at a cheap hotel In the Strand and mado purchases under Prltchard's supervision When ho felt himself ready he sought out Beatrice; ugaln he asked her to marry him. Again she refused, and thinking ot what ho had told her, she Bent him to Elizabeth Gardner. "Why. of course I remember youl" she exclaimed when he entered her apart ment. "And to think that when I had heard tho name beforo! You are my dear estate agent's clerk, who wouldn't tako my money, and why was bo wretch edly rude to mo 12 months ago." Tavernake was quite cool, Ha found himself wondering whether this was n pose, of whether she had Indeed for gotten. He decided that It was e, poit. "I was also," he reminded ho. one night In your rooms at tho Milan Court when your husband " stopped Wm with aij JmprftUM gesture. , t "Spate me, please," ohe begged, ''tbom we to such terrible days ss dull, tflot t remember thai you were quite pne ot tht brightest spots. You were abBotttlely it ferent from every one I had eyer met be fore, and you Interested mo Immensely-" Bho looked nt him and Blowly shook hei head. "You look very nice,'' she said. "Tou clothes fit you nnd you are most becom ingly tanned, but you don't look halt so awkward nnd so adorable." "I am sorry," he replied, nltortly. "And you camo to see mel" he went on. "That wns really nice of you. Toil wcro quite fond of me, once, you know, Tell me, has It lasted?" "That la exactly what I came to find out," ho nnswercd deliberately, "So far, I am Inclined to think that tt had not lasted." Sho made a little wry face and drew hi arm through hers, "Como and sit down and tell me why," she Insisted. "Be honest, now. la It because you think I nm looking older?" "I have thought of you for many hour n day for months," Tavernake said, slow ly, "nnd I never Imagined you so beauti ful ns you seem now," She clasped her hands. "And you mean It, tool" she exclaimed "Thero Is Just the same delightfully con vincing noto In your tone. I am sure that you mean It. Please go on adoring me, Mr. Tavernake. I have no one who In terests me at all Just now. There la an Italian Count who wants to marry me, but ho la terribly poor; and a young AU trnllan, who follows me everywhere, but I nm not euro about htm. There Is an English boy, too, who la going to commit suicide If I don't say 'yes' to him thla week. On the whole, I think I nm rather sorry that people know I nm a widow Tell mo, Mr. Tavernake, are you going to ndoro me, too?" "I don't think so," Tavernake answered. "I rather bellevo that I am cured,"' Sho shrugged her shoulders and laughed musically. "But you say that you still think I am beautiful," sho went on, "and I am sure my clothes jro porfoct they came straight from Paris. I hopo you appreci ate this lace," sho added, drawing it through her fingers. "My figure Is Just aa good, too, Isn't It?" She stood up and turned slowly round. Then she sat down suddenly, taking his hand In hors. "Pleaso don't say that you think I have grown less attractive," aho begged. " "As regards your pcrsonnl attractions. ' Tnvcrnako replied, "I Imagine that they aro at least as great as ever. If you want tho truth, I think that tho reason I flo not adoro you any longer la because I say your Bister last night."
