It asked.
CHAPTER Xl-(Contlnucd).
"I ennnot say that I do. A fresh In
vestigation may lend to a fresh clue.
The nccnt will De pretty mini uncr
thirteen years," observed Mr. Haines. "Of
course, the murderer mtffht die and leave
n, confession. I believe, such things have
happened, though they have not come
within my experience. But, let
me see, "a thought struck the
lawyer: he readjusted his pince-nez and
looked keenly at Martin. "Didn't you hold
back some evldenco at tho trial, nunlnst
the advlco of counsel7 Ah, I remember
tQOvt. Tou wouldn't give the nnrne of tho
person to whom tho lncrlmlnatlntr letter
referred. Perhaps you feel dis
posed to do that now?"
Martin's brown cheeks took on a warm
er tone. "No, I don't think I am," he
answered slowly.
Tho solicitor waved his shapely white
hand tmpntlently, "Well, I don't see what
we can do. From what you have told me
the case stands exactly where It did thir
teen years ago. No fresh evidence, no
suspicions, nothing! Take my advice,
Arrol, and leave things alone. Who re
members you? And what If they do?
Let anybody say you aro a murderer, nnd
I daresay I can get you tliumnlne good
damages." Mr, Raines chuckled and
showed his strong, white teeth.
That was all the encouragement Mar
tin' got from the man of law.
He moved to his brother's flat In Vic
toria street and spent a part of each day
in his omce. Dsnt on acquiring the rudi
ments of business routine. Ho had sev
eral talks with Dereve, and the basis of
heir partnership was practically agreed
on. his visit to tlie llnancler'a home
alt Hampstead was postponed for a few
days. In order, so Dereve explained, that
his niece might be present.
Martin profited by the postponement
to run down to Northumberland. His
sister greeted him more cordially than he
had expected. His resolve to vindicate
himself had met with so little approval
that he mentioned It half dlflldently to
Mrs. Lorratn. To his surprise nnd re
lief she was sympathetic. "That's what
you ought to have dono long ao," she
declared. "It will be moat unpleasant
for my children If It ever sets known
that their uncle failed to clear himself.
Why don't you get one of those private
detectives to look for tho real murderer?
I am told that you con get a good man
on ex-policeman sometimes for about
half a sovereign a day. Or you might en
list the services of some of those ama
teur Sherlock Holmes people of whom wo
read. That would probably be cheaper"
ho added reflectively.
The suggestion sounded very naive, and
he made fun of It: but returning n ...
he wondered If he was capable of form
ing any more practical scheme himself.
At Mctorla street he found two letters
awaiting him one was from Miss Mon
tana Dereve, asking him to dine with her
and her uncle that evening; the other
was from Maud PleBsey, It ran: "My
dear Martln-l have been greatly both
ered since I last saw you. There have
been grave dissensions at home and com
plications of which I don't yet see tho
end. I wish I could explain more fully,
but It wouldn't be fair to other people!
So I am going down to the country for
a. day or two to think things out Don't
fret about me. Enjoy yourself, as I'm
uro you ought to do In London after
your long exile. Yours, Maud,"
Martin reread the letter, folded It, and
placed It In his pocketbook. He set about
unpacking- his trunk. Once, by chance
he caught sight of his face In the mirror!
Its expression was very grave and sad.
He realized that ho was sad that he
had been living for the past week In the
hope of a very different Utter from Mayd,
and that he was profoundly disappointed.
He lit a cigar and strolled listlessly about
hl brother's big sitting room. He
opened the window, and, leaning on the
sill, tried to amuse himself by watching
the traffic. Then he shut down the win
dow with a bang, and, taking up position
before the fireplace, gazed blankly before
him.
"She Is going; to throw me over,"
he whispered to himself.
He took out her letter and read It
again, "Dissensions at home." Of course
there would be. But surely she wouldn't
gjve in, Bhs cared for htm too much for
that. Slowly and deliberately In their
precise order ha went over the steps of
their lovemaking- In the Bldl. Not a ges
ture, not a caressing accent of hers but
had been Jotted down in hts memory.
The more he thought of her the stronger
grow his love, the more Intense his long
ing to see her again. But sho was out
of town: he did not know where. He
could do nothing exeept write to her
at the moment.
He went out to post tho Utter him.

choosing It. Ills domestlo nltnlrs were
entirely controlled by his niece Montana.
She was ft pretty girl, both the Arrols
thoURht, as sho took the hend of her
uncle's table. Her beauty did not appeal
to Martin as strongly ns to niciinril,
partly because It was a type with which
he had been almost. too famlllnr. Miss
Dereve' big, bright black eye, her glossy
block hale. nn,t hirh rhoek bones pro
claimed her to bo not altORCther a Kuro

that he had seen her type In Morocco,

In her composition; nnd as her uncle was
certainly a Gentile, It was'obvlous enough
that her mother must havo been a Jew
ess. Miss Dereve described herself as an
American. She was born In the State
after which she whs named, and Informed
everybody that she was proud of It. She
told Martin Hint sho found people over
here dreadfully stiff. "I manage to have
a pretty good time," sho admitted, "but I
shan't bo sorry to return to my native
land. My pop Is over there, you know.
He's an Englishman, like you."
Ills mind full of another woman, Martin
listened abstractedly to the dark girl, and
feared his replies must sound rather me
chanical. But Montana Dereve prcforrcd
to monopolize tho conversation nnd was
able to sustain It with unflagging vivacity.
Ho arcw, In spite of himself, more Inter
ested In her. Oddly enough, she had a
trick of drawing down tho corners of her
mouth when she smiled nnd of sllnhtly
shrugRlng her shoulders, which vaguely
reminded him of Maud. Otherwise two
woman could hardly have looked more
unlike each other. Tho admiral's daugh
ter, however sho mlqht bo clad, always
reminded one of some beautiful statue
of antiquity; this girl, as she lounged on
the divan, blowing rings of smoke very
cleverly, put him In mind of the chnrm
Inc but meretricious damsels who smllo
at us from the advertisements of high
class Egyptian cigarettes.
She devoted herself exclusively to Mar
tin, leaving his brother to tho caro of
her uncle. She showed him over the
whole house. Including tho kitchen and
the garage, with a childlike prldo In Its
modern arrangements and the wealth
which had procured them. The snllor.
touched by her kindness, exerted himself
to please her and let her brat him at
billiards be f 9 re ho was claimed for a
business talk bv tho other men.
Derovo's career hnd not been In some
respects dissimilar from his new part
ner's. That Is to say, ho had left Eng
land In his early youth and had gained
experience mostly In raw and rough coun
tries and on the frontiers of civilization.
Ho said a little about his brother, Monty's
father. This personage was still In one
of the Western States and apparently had
not visited England for many years.
Eustace had great respect for his Ideas
and Ingenuity, but a poor opinion of his
business capacity.
"In fact," said Mr. Dereve, waxing ex
punslvo and confidently over his fourth
whisky and BOda and closing one eye as
ho was wont to do when he wanted to
be Impressive, "the patents which are
going to be our big thing are largely
the fruit of his brain. I admit that
Sydney Is no fool. It seems he thought
out the Idea of this torpedo years ago
and Just kopt It In his pocketbook, never
having the energy to find a market for It.
I gave him a few dollars for the sole
rights, and he was glad enough to get
them. When wo havo made a pile we'll
remember him eh, Mr. Arrol? We shall
be In a position to be generous."
'Your brother Is a widower, I presume?"
Inquired Martin.
"That Is so, sir. Ho married a Polish
Jewess In Chicago a woman who would
have been tho making of him If she had
lived long enough. Seeing that Sydney
was not the man to be Intrusted with the
bringing up of a girl and being a bit
lonesome myself, I took Monty off his
hands. I've never regretted It."
"Well," asked Itlchard. as the tube
train hurried the brothers toward Charing
Cross, "how do you like Dereve? Do you
think you will pull together all right?"
"I see no reason why we shouldn't. He
seems a decent sort. I hope there Is as
much as he thinks there Is tn this tor
pedo Idea of his. As far as ho explained
It to me. It did not strike me as whollv
novel rather, I should say, I dimly recol
lect hearing or reading of something of
the same kind before."
"Thero is no such thing as an original
Idea," afllrmcd Itlchard, "and you seem to
havo read so much and thought so much
when you ought to have been looking out
for .cargo that precious few Ideas are like
ly to strike you as even fresh. By
the way, what did you think of the little
girl?"
"Of Miss Dereve?"
"Yea. Not bad, eh?"
"She seems a very Jolly little girl. I
noticed that you were casting anxious
eyes In her direction while I was talking
tn her."
Itlchard puffed at his pipe. "It doesn't
look as If I stood much chance with her.
She made a dead set at you. It's always
the same with girls," he added medita
tively.
"What Is your 111 luck or vou matn.
tlblllty?"
, "Neither. I mean that nothing attracts
any woman toward a man so much as his
Indifference. It was as plain as a pike
staff that I admired her Immensely and
that you didn't caro a hang about her. So,
of course, she makes up to you. Old or
young, they are all the same, and that's
the Infallible rule."
Martin thought of the Impassioned letter
then on Its way to Maud, and wondered
whether there was any truth In his
brother's philosophy, Maud had certainly
mado efforts to win him while he held
aloof,, and now that he made no secret of
his love for her he was practically for
bidden her presence and told to enjoy
himself as best he could.
His brother seemed to read what waa
passing- In his mind. As they walked past
the Abbey he asked: "I suppose tt'a quite
settled between you and Miss Plessey?"
"There Is no formal engagement, if
that's what you mean."
Itlchard walked on for a few yards In
silence. "I look on It as an unfortunate
meeting," he observed. "Either you must
clear yourself In the way you propose
which will be difficult, If not Impossible
or the family will be constantly throwing
this up against you. But you care for
her a good deal, I Imagine?" He glanced
sideways at his brother.
"Yes, I am very much In love with
her," replied Martin quietly. "If It wera
not for her," he added presently, "I
should never have returned to England."
"Well, of course, she has some claim
on our gratitude. If that Is so, said
Itlchard, with a politeness which he felt
himself was unusual tn a brother.
Martin had his key ready aa soon as
they reached the door of the flat In Vic
toria street All the way he hod been
asking himself. "Shalt I hear from her
tonight?" and assuring himself that she
would be sura to write. He waited, his

brothor fumbled with the key of the let
terbox. Richard, It sebned to him, waa

"Ah, hare's a letter for you," announced
the engtnMr at last.
Martin snatched It and. hardly able to
restrain his Impatience, hurried Into hla
own room to read It, He swlteaad on tb

"P. S. I left one or two things In my

Arrol drew a deep breath nnd sat down
to realize what had happened. He had
expected this. Ho hnd felt the blow Im
pending all that day. Yet It fell with
none the less forco. "It's n facer," he
heard himself mutter.
"Will you como up to tho club?" his
brother called to htm from the passage;
"I've got n noto from a man saying he
would be there tonight. I don't feel In
clined to turn In sn enrlv."
"Thnnks, no," Martin replied In a steady
voice; "I feel dashed sleepy and shall
turn In. Hope you'll have a good tlmo."
He heard tne door close nnd Itlchard
descending tho Btnlrs, Ho stood up and
made a few paces about the room. He
had never felt like this before.
What exactly did ho foel? Solitude hnd
mndo him Introspective, and he found
himself considering his own emotions in
a detached way. A sense of Irreporablo
loss that was It. Something tremen
dously good nnd Important had gono from
him ho was over bo much less, llfo was
ever so much less. He wondered If a
man might not feel something like this
when ho was struck or lost his limbs.
It was no good worrying about such a
catastrophe once It had happened, and
ho knew, of course, that ho would get used
to It, stltl
Tho sailor stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Ho was awaro of a dull ache through his
wnolo being. Yes, it was a rude shock,
this loss of her, a shock from which It
would take a long time to recover. Mean
time he must expect It to hurt a little.
Again ho thought of physical shocks, of
amputations peoplo suffered a
good deal Immediately after them, but In
tlmo tho pain went, or they got used to
tt. Sometimes, though, they didn't. It
went on aching nil their lives. It struck
him that he was suffering more than ho
had ever dono beforo In his whole llfo.
Certainly more than nt the trial. Then
ho had been sure of an acquittal. It was
extraordinary that he should feel so
wretched, seeing that nothing was actu
ally hurting him.
Every lover had known this, ho sup
posed. Ho recalled n scoro of light say
ings, some of thorn frankly comic. "Never
run after a girl or a bus there's euro to
bo another nlong presently." That was
very droll and, of course, quite true. But
tnougn ne twisted his lips Into a wry
smile, he failed to dcrlvo nny comfort
from tho aphorism.
Well, never mind about his feelings
what was to bo done? It was no uso to
read her letter over again because ho
know lt by heart. Sho wroto as If sho
loved him. Why, then, did she throw him
over? uocausc, of course, her people
wouldn't tolcrato the Idea. It was that
accursed woman, her mother. Well, not
necessarily. The admiral had relatives,
a brother In the army nnd a sister who
had married a peer. They might belluve
In his guilt nnd have made a row. He
could see them, how they would look nt
It. Of course, he wasn't a desirable match
for Maud from any point of view.
Should ho take Maud at her word? Hla
nature said no a big no. He was not
tho man to give up what he wanted
without a struggle. At least, he fancied
ho was not that sort of man now. Thir
teen years ago ho had been softer. He
thought with wonder of his disgusted
abandonment of his career, of his flight
before sneers and suspicious looks. Ho
would not have fled now, not If ovory
passerby had shouted "murderer" In his
ear. He had acquired new canons, new
standards of conduct without thinking
about them. He had fancied himself in
lovo once or twice In those boyish days.
How would he have behaved In such a
crisis as this? He would have acquiesced
In his dismissal, ho supposed, bowed his
head and gone away. He looked back
across tho years at that slight figure In
the dark blue uniform and felt for him
the bitterest Bcorn. He was not going
to give up the girl he loved without a
Jolly good fight, unless he had tt from
her own lips that sho didn't love him;
and as for the cloud of suspicion, he
would blow It sky-high, rend It, dissi
pate It.
Ves, but that might be It that she had
crw.ed to love him and had not the heart
to say so. He had told her himself that
once she got back to her normal sur
roundings she would look on him with
other eyes. Perhaps that had happened.
He wished he knew more about girls of
her sort. He strove to recall what ho
knew of them years ago. It was not
much. He had been rather a shy young
ster. He had told a woman once that he
had given up flirting for the reason that
tho English had given up dqellng that
they took It too seriously, More experi
ence would have been useful to him. Aa
to the women he had met since, he could
find there no common ground for com
parison. Girls, he heard, never meant
what they said. Somehow, though, he
could not believe Maud would have writ
ten that letter unless she meant It
There waa no address on the letter. The
postmark was Brighton. He considered,
Brighton was a large town. He might
spend daya down thero and never see
her. She might have left the town by
this time. After all, any letter he sent
to Edgworth Square would be sure to
reach her. But would she read hts let
ters? (CONTINTTHD TOMORROW.)

CALL FOR BANK CONDITIONS
Comptrollers Ask Both State and Na
tlonat Statements.
Calls of the Comptroller of the 'Cur
rency, as well as of the Pennsylvania,
New York and Illinois banking commis
sioners, for tho conditions of both na
tional and Stato banks as of June 23 and
21 were Issued today.
This la tli' first itiftti that n call on
national olid Stnte banks hns been made
on the same date since April 23, 130J.
The reason It occurred this tlmo Is be
lieved to be that the Comptroller of
the Currency desires some Information
regarding Btato banks and trust compa
nies to comparo with data of the national
banks, nnd has furnished the Stnte Bank
ing Commissioner with blank forms for
that purpose.
Tho National Bank call Just Issued la
the third this year, and compares with
that of June 30, 1914. tho third call of
last year. During 1914 the Comptroller
lasuctt six coils for condition, one more
than In previous years.
The latest Pennsylvania bank call Is
the third this year and compares with
the second call of last year, tho date
for which was June 23. Four calla were
made In Pennsylvania In 1914, and at' the
present rate it Is likely thero will be
five this yenr. Prior to 1914 only two

The Daily Story
Blessed Are Peacemakers
Stuart Henry Thorno was in trouble
deep, dark trouble which mode him twist
uneasily on tho seat In tho grapo nrbor
and nervously thumb tho pages of tho
soiled volume In his lap. Tho volume was
a copy 'of "The Manly Art of Self-Defense,"
nnd hnvlng suffered the olllclal
stamp of parental disapproval, It could
only bo perused safely In such Beclutlcd
spots as tho grapo nrbor or tho stable
loft.
As a usual thing, "The Manly Art of
Self-Defense" waa a very present help In
tlmo of trouble to Stuart Henry Thorne,
But somehow now the thumb-marked
pages failed to Inspire htm with that con
fidence they had hitherto given htm. Snip
per McOrnw, tho son of the Janitor next
door, hnd a widespread reputation as a
gomey scrapper, and It was with Snipper
McQraw that hla trouble lay.
Earlier In tho day Stuart Henry and
Snipper had come to words over the pos
session of some marbles; tho dlsputo had
waxed hot and ended In a strident decla
ration bv the redoubtable Snipper that ho
would "lam the stuffln'a out'n" Stuart
Henry. To UiIh Stuart Henry, with out
ward calm but inward rago, had replied
thut ho would meet Snipper where and
when that pugnant gentleman desired.
The mill had been arranged to take place
Saturday afternoon In the yard behind
the Unitarian church.
Apparently his only hope to escape the
humiliation of having his "stuffln's
lnmmcd out'n htm" lay In the pages bo
foro him, and for his present needs Stuart
Henry recognized their woeful Inade
quacy. If hla sister Nan had had sense enough
not to quarrel with Mr. Lathrop, the fam
ily honor, as upheld ,by the fists of Itn
youngest member, might yet remain In
tact. Stuart Henry had nover before
given much thought to his sister's quar
rel with Mr. Lathrop, but In the llgh; of
hts present predicament his sister's course
seemed to him the height of folly.
Mr. Lathrop waa a bully chap. To be
sure, at tho beginning of their acquaint
ance ho had made the ghastly mistake of
trying to win Stuort Henry's allegiance
with chocolates. Lathrop, who boro quite
a reputation as a boxer at the athletic
club, had later discovered tho young
man's Interest In mntters pugilistic. Ho
had held Stuart Henry spellbound for
hours at n time with that subject; he
had even shown the red-headed young
ster a few simple blows and counters;
and with this coaching Stuart Henry had
easily won his fight with tho Bresnahan.
boy from tho alley. After that Lathrop
found no more tacks lurking In tho chairs
ho occupied In the parlor, and at the hour
of his departure no more wet sponges
fell from hts hat tn the front hall.
Stuart Henry felt sure that In Lathrop
lay his salvation, but a few weeks pre
vious thero had been a quarrel between
Nan and Lathrop Stuart Henry behind
tho portieres had heard It all and La
throp had departed Into outer darkness,
even as several predecessors had done
before him.
Stuart Henry was lost In thought for
several minutes. Nan and Lathrop must
be reconciled or tho fight with Snipper
McQraw was hopelessly lost. He threw
"The Manly Art of Self Defense" from
htm, and began to plot deeply with all
the ardor of his 11 years. At the end of
an hour he Bought his room, and with
many agonized workings of his face and
tongue, he composed a letter.
Mr. John Lathrop, reading through the
morning mall tn his office downtown,
came across the following masterpiece:
"Dear Mr. Lathrop Nan Is all broke
up about her flte with you. So am I,
We want you to come back. I and Nan
will be at tho platform where the cars
como Into the park tomorrow at 3. I
think I can square you with her then.
Be reddy for any thing that happens.
"Yours affectlonty,
"S. H. THORNE,"
"P. S. I'm up against It, If I square
you with Nan will you show me some
new Jolts, something better than the
Dixon rip."
Mr. Lathrop smiled and blew smoke
tings at the celling.
"Out or tho mouths of babea and suck
lings," he mused, and at 3 o'clock he
went to the platform In the park.
He had been there but a few minutes
when Nan and Stuart Henry alighted
from a car. Nan bowed coldly, and
Stuart Henry grinned and covertly wink
ed. The trolley cars were coming up the
hill tn an apparently endless line, stop-
filng at the platform to discharge their
aughlng, noisy cargoes.
Stuart Henry attempted to cross In
front of the first car. Lathrop saw him
deftly trip and sprawl flat In front of
the -on-coming car with a wild whoop.
The motorman Jammed the brake hard,
Nan screamed, and Lathrop sprang for
ward and hauled the boy from the track.
There had been no real danger, but
Nan's nerves were badly shaken, sq badly
shaken. Indeed, that she was hysterically
grateful to Lathrop, who accompanied
them home to the unutterable Joy pf
Stuart Henry.
Lathrop and Nan In the parlor were
each claiming all the blame pf the quar
rel. From the hall doorway, a red head
was thrust Into the room, and Lathrop
saw Stuart Henry beckoning to him.
"Early November, dear," Lathrop waa
saying, "and we'll spend tho month. In the
hIU."
Nan's reply waa drowned In Stuart
Henry's "Saa-s-s-st. Ss-s-a-at," from tho
doorway.
Lathrop ree asd stalled.
"Now, It's settled, if you'll pardon ma
for a moroawt I'll pay a aubt I owe Stuart
Henry," u.ftd turning to that young man,
"All right, sir, I'm at your service for
half an hour."
Some. tlina.Jatr bo returned to Nan to
the parlor. Stuart Henry at that moQMftt '
itrod c-ut ef the front gate,, and as he
walks dawn the street he nude sundry
lungas with bla small nsts while he as
sured hlmwlf over and over again, "tie
It's a corker " And In the heart of Stuart
Henry Thorn waa a great. U-sumclnt
confidence. a tea butcher's boy, whom be
