hands on his knees and leaned forward.

reenll attention to the case.'
Mr. Itlchard Arrol roso from Ills chair
and stood with his back to the fire they
kept fires burning at tho Wanderers till
tho middle of June. "That Is true," he
observed, "but It would confirm moro
than anything elso the public belief In
your Innocence."
"Yes. and what sort of a cad should I
be to lot people suppose that the girl had
married a man still under suspicion of her
father's murder?"
Mr. Arrol senior shrugged his ohoulders
ever so slightly. "It seems to me that wo
are arguing In a circle," ho remarked.
"Frankly, I wish you hadn't mot tho girl
and that your connection with her family
had been left to sink Into oblivion. How
ever, you seem to have made up your
mind. What steps do you propose
to take In this matter?"
"Tho first thing to do, I suppose, Is to
consult Raines and Macandrew, the so
licitors who acted for me at the trial."
"Yes, thoso would bo tho people to see."
Richard shook his head. "Well, come
along now to my place. We'll have a bit
of dinner somewhere, and then we might
spend the evening at tho Alcazar. Tho
revue there Is very good, I'm told."
As they moved toward tho door a page
entered bellowing, "Mr. Arrol."
"well, don't you seo me?" cried the
nglneer, Impatiently, stepping Into the
bay's path. "Who la It-what Is it?"
Gentleman to see you Blr.
lchard took the card from the boy a
hankl. "Another coincidence," he re
marked to his brother. "Here's the man
I spoke of Eustace Dereve."
Richard Arrol's visitor belonged to that
Amorlcanlzed typo of business man which
has become common among us In tho last
decade. He was almost totally hairless,
square-Jawed, thln-llpped, and square
built. Probably his shoulders were not so
broad as they seemed, but owed a good
deal of their Imposing effect to his tailor.
He wore a double-breasted Jacket and
American shoes. Seeing him you thought
Immediately of new systems of catalogu
ing, of beautifully appointed offices, up-to-date
electrio Installations, and elab
orate advertising schemes.
He shook hands In a determined man
ner with Richard. "There are one or
two things I want to talk to you about,
Arrol," he began. "Can you give me 10
minutes?"
"I dare say I can give you more than
that," replied Richard. "Sit down and
make yourself comfortable. I don't sup
pose you are as busy as you pretend to
be. Nobody In London Is at least, not In
business circles. This Is my brother Mar.
t'n."
The two men shook hands, then all
three disposed themselves In armchairs
rcund a little elass-topped table. Richard
piomptly commanded whiskies and sodas
and handed round his cigar case.
"My brother,." ho said, addressing Mr.
Eereve, "is the man you are looking' for.
He Is giving up tho sea, about which he
knows as much aa Neptune and Lord
Nelson combined. Ho was formerly In
the Royal Navy, and what he doesn't
know about naval construction and tor
pedoes and submarfnea you may'stalre it
from me Is not north knowing;,"
Martin dlsUlimeA the encyclopedio
knowledge attributed to htm by his
brother, but Mr. Dereve dia not seem to
listen. Ite studied the sallof ror a few
seconds in alienee, and than asked,
"Have you any capita!, Mr. Arrol?"
"I dare say X could put tn thotnand
pounds Into a really safe thlnr."
"That ain't much, but It would I use
ful. I could put up twenty thousand ray
self and get almost as much as I wanted
once I'd cot my patents on the market.
You're not a business man, X tak It, Mr,
ArrolT"
Martin shook his head. "If there's any
business capacity in me It haa taken a
Ions time to show itself. If we fixed up
together I should leave Richard to con
duct the negotiations. If you want to
go In for designing; destroyers or manu
facturing torpedoes, I think you could
leave the supervision of the practical
work to me, I flatter myself I'm a fair
Judge of these things, and could manage,
any number of men If you actually con
template havlne your own yard. I Im
agine you'll have to float a company be
fore you float your torpedo, but In that
part of the business, aa I have said, I
could give you no assistance,"
"That sounds straight," remarked Mr.
Dereve, be took a comprehensive survey
of the man opposite him. "The fact Is,"
be leaned forward and his voice took a
confidential tone "I have some Ideas
which If worked out will bring- half the
Governments of Europe knocking at our
door " He closed one eye ant kept It

In waiting. Its sole occupant wai a

exaggerated fidelity to tho latest fashion.
She surveyed tho two strangers with
frank Interest.
"This Is my niece," snld Mr. Dereve,
Introducing her. "Monty, this is Mr.
Martin Arrol, and on his right, Mr.

It struck tho observant Itlchard, as

beneath her heavy black lashes, that she
was glnd to hear that.
CHAPTEIl IX.
rpUE morning- after Huron's unexpected
JL declaration Maud was not surprised
to hear that her mother was confined to
her room with a stole headacho and did
not want to be disturbed. She mado no
attempt, to disregard her wlshco. Experi
ence had taught her that on such occa
sions Sirs. Plessey had no relish for her
sympathy or companionship. Bho much
preferred the ministrations of Fcllse.
varied by the attentions of her favorite
medical man.
fJut Mnud, as she would herself have
put It, was "wild" with her charmlnir lit
tle mother this morning. Gilbert Huron
had declared himself her lover. Mrs.
Plessey know this, but gavo her no hint
how she was to treat him should ho pro
sent himself nt tho house. Sho knew,
alao, who Martin Arrol was, but she had
left her daughter without any hint of her
own feelings towards him or any Indica
tion of the nttltudo sho nroDoscd to
adopt. Maud paced her own room angri
ly, it was just iiko iter mother, sho bit
terly reflected. In case, of doubt, trouble
or perplexity of any sort, Mrs. Pleasoy
took refuge In bed, and usually refused
to stir from that frilly fortress till mat
ters had readjusted themselves without
any effort on her part. Thcro wnB a cer
tain wisdom In that policy, Maud with a.
reluctant smile admitted to herself. Bho
dlsmtssod her mother nnd Huron for tho
tlmo being with a shrug of her shoulders
After her prolonged absence from Eng
land there were a hundred things for her
to do. Sho had her wardrobe to replen
ish. Innumerable visits to pay, scores of
letters to answer. All thoso duties sho
would have gladly shelved for tho pleas
ure oi nn aiternoon with Martin, but ho
aI? must bo busy at the moment. Ho had
t0.,l "M" that lie contemplated parting
.' with his Interest In the shin, that ho
wanted to call on his brother, that ho
might havo to run down to Northumber
land to see hla married sister. Regret
fully she admitted thnt ho was not to
bo disturbed at such a moment.
Sho was out all that day. She dined
with eomo college friends and went with
them to the theatre. On her return sho
Inquired after her mother. Mrs. Plessey,
sho was told, was asleep, and the doctor's
ordors were that Bho wob to remain In
bed tho whole of the following day. Mnud
smiled a llttlo disdainfully. Sho knew
that doctor and his Ingratiating methods
of treatment The servant having an
swered her Inquiries, handed her a letter.
It was In an unfamiliar hand. She did
not trouble to open It till she reached
her own room. As Boon rb sho toro open
the cnvelopo her Indifference was changed
to delighted eagerness. The letter was
from Martin tho first she had ever re
ceived from him.
Martin wrote a good love letter. As
she had already discovered, thcro was
a streak of romance In his nature which
solitude nnd long, long vigils beneath tho
stars had not tended to weaken. In
writing he, could Indulge his poetic na
ture, free from tho restraint which a
mannish shyness Imposed on his speech
and manner. Maud's cheeks glowed as
she read, her heart beat foster. The let
ter Drougnt DncK some or the languorous
charm of thosa nights on tho steamer's
deck. She did not kiss the letter, but
eno reaa it again ana again, nnd locked
It In a drawer by itself In her bureau.
That drawer sho hoped would one day
be filled with hlj letters. Then she opened
another drawer and took out some notes
she had rocelvcd from student admirers.
Some vague sentiment had caused to
preservo them mo far. Now she looked
at them scornfully nnd placed them on
the fire. There was no room In her heart
for those pallid llttlo memories. Her love
for Martin had put them out as the sun
puts out the starlight.
Martin had not forgotten to keep her
Informed of his plans. Ho told her of
his meeting with his brother nnd of his
Introduction to Dereve. He proposed to
see his solicitors within tho next two
or threo days. He had beon persuaded
by his brother to go down to Northum
berland for the week end. On his return
ho must Bee her wherever Bhe chose to
appoint.
The last envelope was slowly curling
up In the embrace of the flame when
Mnud heard a tap at her door. Before
she could ask who was there, her mother
entered.
"What! You, mother!" exclaimed tho
girl, surprised. "I thought you were un
der orders not to stir out of bed for an
other 21 hours."
"Yes, I know, and I'm fee line verv off
color. But I felt that I must have a
talk with you."
Mrs. Plessey sank into nn armchair be
fore the fire. Her frail body was wrapt
In a silk koraono. On her fluffy hair she
wore ono of the now fashionable boudoir
caps. Her faca had lost something of Its
prettlness. Her lips wero drawn down nt
the corners, there were heavy shadftwa
under her ey. Maud's heart went out
In compassion to her.
"I wish you hia Ut no eoraej to you
today," sho said trotly. "Z might have
been aMo to cheer you tlji. Tll mrrhat
la worrying- you. mother. I'm. atrald,
thoorh, I can bTJ(s," Bhe leaned' over
tier mother and kissed her,
Mrs. Plessey made no response. "What
exactly did Ollbert say to you the other
night?" she demanded, gazing crossly at
the fire,
"Wo were talking about thlnga In gen
eral when he suddenly selied my arm and
kissed It. I asked him If he had gone
mad, and he said that he was In love with
me and had been for a long time past"
"And what did you say?"
"What you may suppose. I told him
he must never dare to do such a. thing
again, that I had never looked on him In
that light, that I regarded htm as your
friend, not mine, and so forth."
"And what did he say?"
Maud looked away and bit her Upa,
"Mother," she asked, "do you caro for
that man are you In love with hlmr"
"I suppose I waa once."
"I thought so. And this hurts you, I
suppose?" Maud'a eyes were full of pity.
Mrs. Plessey drew down the corners of
her lips and smiled Ironically. "I don't
know- that It does very much. It comes
aa a surprise to me. that's all. Thoua-h I
suppose I ought to have been prepared
for it"
Sho looked her daughter up and down
and seemed to be making a mental com
parison. "You are younger than I am,
you wee. though I don't think von alivnv.
look It. But Ollbert has known me for
years, and you great big girls appeal to
asm num." Bhe aiehed as though depre
cating' suh bad taste. "It's a wonder to
roe thajt yen efeeuld have affected htm like
this," she wMt so spitefully, "for you
will axons my tolling you, Maud, that
tint ea and the sun have played havoc
with your skin, and this year's fashions
ontr suit slender women like myself,
dtlll," she udsnUtad grudgingly, "that
drees you bad on the other night became
you ry wall."
Maud fro4 a lauab, "I'm aura you
can't deplore Gilbert! bjuJ ( rooa
than i do myself. You saey eoosole yojuv
off that meet men Ixnotv me when you
are In the ballroom But that U hardly

attired through the intervention
passing fancy. Perhaps you havo been
giving him cause for Jealousy of late.
Maud smiled Indulgently and caressed
her mother's hair.
"Oh, I don't caro twopence about Oll
bert," cried Mrs. Plessey, rearranging her
cap. "He Is useful In ft way nnd so long
as the tango remains In fashion I can't
do without him. My dear girl, to be can
did, It's my vanity that Is hurt, that Is
all. It Isn't pleasant to feel that your
own daughter Is becoming a serious ri
val." Maud turned nwav her faco that her
mother might not sea the pain In her
eyes. Sho hated this kind of talk betweon
mother and daughter. She returned
abruptly to the main point at Issue.
"Perhaps you would ten me wnat atti
tude you are going to take up towards
Ollbort after this this qilto unsolicited
declaration?"
Mrs. Plessey did not answer the ques
tion directly. She took a cigarette from
the open box lying on her daughter's
tablo and Inhaled the smoke deeply.
"You told Ollbert that you didn't care
for him, I understand," she said pres
ently. "Of course."
"Also that you were In love with that
man Arrol."
"That Is so."
"You said that, knowing who Arrol
was?"
"Yes, and after reading tho reports of
the trial, mother, do you bellcvo him to
bo guilty yourself?"
Mrs. Plessey rose, drew the folds of her
kimono round her and stood looking down
Into the flro. She tnpped her slippered
foot on tho curb.
"You have seen Arrol Blnco you left the
boat, I presume. It's what you would
do."
"Yes; I havo seen him. Ho asserted
his Innocence, which was unnecessary,
of course. I also extracted a promlso
from him to rcopon tho case and provo
himself guiltless, He Is going to consult
his solicitor tomorrow."
Mrs. Plessey turned towards her daugh
ter. Her faco was livid with rage. "You
wretched. Idiotic girl!" she cried, raising
her hands wildly. "How daro you speak
to that man! Don't you understand"
her voice rose to a shriek "that ho la
bors under tho suspicion of having killed
your father and that he compromised
me?"
"Mother, you aro forgetting yourself,"
Maud reminded her, sternly, "and pleaso
don't Insult mo. Wo do not wish to quar
rel. I don't know why you should talk
In this strain of Captain Arrol. It's ob
vious that you didn't believe him guilty
or you would not havo shakon hands with
him. As to his having compromised you,
you denied that nt tho trial In the most
emphatic terms, Ho 1b an Innocent man.
Why should you object to him proving his
Innocenco?"
Mrs, Plessey sank back Into the chair,
exhnusted apparently by her spasm of
rage. Sho was very white. The carmine
with which sho had not forgotten to paint
her lips stood out In startling contrast
"Listen to me, Maud," she said, grip
ping tho arm of tho chair," I forbid you
to havo anything more to do with Cap
tain Arrol or to. seo him again. Are you
prepnred to obey me?"
"No, mothor," nnswerod the girt firmly.
"I am not a French girl. I wish to be
Captnln Arrol's wife. You can forbid me,
of course, to marry him for another
year, but I certainly decline to banish
him from my life In the meantime. I
don't think you havo tho right to ask
mo to." Maud'a lips trembled and sho
looked hard at tho floor. "You havo
never troubled to cultlvato my friend
ship. It's horrid to say it. but at times
you have almost seemed Jealous of me.
Captain Arrol loves me a million times
better than you over did. In fact," there
waB a catch In tho girl's voice, "I bo
Hove he Is tho only person In the world
who does love me"
"Except Gilbert!" interjected Mrs.
Plessey.
"Except Gilbert!" repeated her daugh
ter scornfully. "I care nothing for Gil
bert. Besides, you wouldn't be very
pleased If I wanted to marry him, would
you?"
"It Is what I came here to ask you
to do," replied Mra. Plessey, "and what
you will ha,ve to do, my daughter."

For many months the "bums" In the
Tenderloin have been olamorlng for Just
one chance to start life all over. What
they promised to do If opportunity offered
sounded like a lesson from the "first
reader") And suddenly tho chance came.
It was a Job for each and every one of
them to act as a guard at the duPont
powder plant at Pennagrove.
They went there with much enthusiasm
and remained for Just one week. Today
they returned In droves and distributed
their earnings among the saloons along
the old route. In a short time the patrol
of the 11th and Winter streets station was
kept busy and the cells became ao full
that Lieutenant Smiley for a while waa
thinking of asking- for an appropriation to
enlarge the station house.
Many of the prisoners came in by
"fours," and their abort experience aa
guards evidently inspired a military spirit,
for they lined up and saluted Sergeant
Nolan before- being assigned to their pri
vate reems. Seme were noisy, too, but
when threatened with hatha in connection
with the rooms they were quickly l

Philadelphia to Quakertown,
and return on local cars
from Chestnut Hill through
Lansdale
ltfomofciit'sc's will have to pay
tolls between Line Lexing
ton and Quakertown of is
cents in each direction, . .
The limited cars make the distance
between West Philadelphia and
.Quakertown in 1 hour and SI
minutes: the local cars take 8 hours
and 5 minutes from Chestnut-Hill
to Quakertown.
All cities and towns along the
route have splendid hotels, lunch
rooms and roadhouses where meals
may be had at very reasonable
prices. Menlo Park and the hills
and bodies of water between. Lane-
dale and Quakertown, especially,
offer unexcelled opportunities for
picnic parties.
Once moro we return to the hills and I
rivers of Pennsylvania. The two week
of "vacntton-ottfng" In New Jersey was
a delightful change.
Quakertown, tho aualnt little town sit
uated In tho foothills of the Dcthlehe-n
rnnge, was the magnet which drew us
on our trip last week. We traveled over
a fnmlllar route between this city and
Lansdale, but from there to Quakertown
the scenery was new and Increasingly
beautiful. We passed through Hntflcld,
Bellcrsvllle. Menlo Park, Perkasle, Itockv
Itldge nnd Quakertown, with side trips
to Telford nnd Rlchlandtown.
BEYOND LANSDALE.
Twice beforo we have had occasion
to travel from Philadelphia to Norris
town over the Philadelphia and Western.
Once wo went to Lansdalo via Norris
town, and returned from that city tn
Chestnut Hilt, through Ambler, Fort
Washington nnd Whltomarsh.
This week we entered new territory.
Detwecn Lansdalo and Hatfield the coun
try chnnges but llttlo. A little further
the Innd grows more hilly, and when wo
entered Souderton we obtained our first
extenslvo view of a ridge of htlln. It
extended across the entire horizon di
rectly north of us. Souderton Is a thriv
ing town of more thnn SOOO population
thnt Is 80 miles from Philadelphia. It lf
built on hills.
Four miles beyond Souderton Is Sellers
ville. This Is the largest city between
Lansdale nnd Qunkertown. From tho top
of one of the hills In Sellersvllle we wero
able to see for miles around. A small
creek and several bodies of water dotted
the landscape.
PERKASIE.
Perkaslo Is a "new" town In a den of
historic lore. ThlB Is the only Inrgo set
tlement on the trip which did not boaBt of
some quaint building or historic spot The
town has grown up within the past gen
eration. But the community docs lay
claim to distinction In another way. It
has one of the largest "camp meeting"
settlements In the country.
The Adventlsts, for that Is the de
nomination of tho members of the colony,
have built a cluster of houses around
their community dining hall nnd meet
ing shed on the side of a large hill be
yond the needing tracks. They have
named their settlement "Perkasle Park,"
It Is on a delightful, wooded slope. The
small yellow and green houses built
along curved alleys are very picturesque
through the trees. The colony reminded
us of the setting- of Louis N. Parker's
"Pomander Walk."
Just before reaching Perkasle we passed
Menlo Park, an attractive picnic ground.
It Is on the top of a hill and Is fitted with
swings, carousel, pavilion and other
amusements that delight the children.
Benches and tables are scattered through
out the grove for picnickers.
QUAKERTOWN.
After leaving Perkasle Park we passed
through the ridge of hills which we first
saw at Souderton. The geological forma
tions were not the only Indications if
mountains which we found. Besides the
large boulders and the outcropplngs of
rock we met the first groups of conifer
ous trees. Clusters of pine, fir, hemlock
and cedar covered the hilltops. The air
was delightfully refreshing In these hills.
There Is no finer or healthier spot In
which to hold a picnic than a forest of
conifers.

only places between Perkasle and Qua

above sea level. Every house has Us
garden with beautiful flowers, while
from all sides of the station roads lead
to attractive walks through fields and
woods.

TROLLEY " -pT n r-ft MAPKfTg&lj city.'
Thousands of men, women and children in Philadelphia are dented an
opportunity to get away from the heat and dirt of the city during tho summer.
Few cities in the East are moro advantageously situated for short, refresh
ing, economical trips to the country than is Philadelphia, and it is in consid
eration of the two facts that tho Evenino Ledger has decided to give its
readers, each week, the outline of a "vacationette."
Representatives of the Evening Ledoer take these trips personally, in
advance, with an eye to determining the exact cost for fares and meals, and
the points of recreation, scenic value and historic interest.
