v'f ptevens Heckschers. of Strafford,
AFTKU what I said about an engage
ment being announced this week and
that the principals wero muchly con
nected with doctors, you wero not sur
prised, wero you, to read of Cornelia
I.eldy's engagement to Ilammy Cheston
yesterday? lie has been devoted for quite
two years, and evory ono predicted' the
outcome. It seems to me a particularly
nice match, and I wlHh them all tho Joy
in the world.
Hamilton is up at Fort Niagara, where
he has been nindo a lieutenant In the
artillery. I henr he has nindo a splendid
record, and that ho was given the cluMconf
a Job in the ordnance department or in tlio-
artillery, nml ho choso tho latter. At
present they havo no plans for tho wed
ding, ns both art, young, and tho rushing
Into matHmnny which has been going
on around us seems a bit hysterical un
less tho men aro nrtunlly going to
Fiance. Cornelia very mnslbly has de
cided not to many In hanto, unless Ham
ilton Is sent to France. In that caso they
will be quietly married, nnd sho will
probably Join him over thero later, for
she has lived thero no many years she
lias n splendid command of the lan
guage and would bo ot real assistance
in that wnr-htrlcken country. Mio aim
her mother rnmo down from Narragau
sett lately to town, nnd left yesterday for
Camden, Me. Cornelia is to bo a brides
maid for Hleanor Pepper, who is to bo
married on August IS.
CAPF. MAY, they tell me. Is in the throes
of Ked Cross work most of tho time,
and did you know that tho girls dowt.
thero take turns In keeping tho weo sup
ply shop for tlio Tied Cioss? They say
it is front fun, llko keeping store. I won.
dor why there Is such a fascination
about playing at store. From childhood
on. one loves to get a small pan anil
write accounts on it, and ns for carbon
paper nul n basket attached to opposite
stiles of tho room well, you havo to lie
a child to know tho possibilities of such
a game!
t seems to go with Capo May to lovo
to play at keeping store. I remember
hearing that two of our most charming
matrons of today when about twelve
...- n1,l used to go to the Japaneso
store opposite the Old Pier and sell all
i ii,n customers who cihcicii.

Satroyd was drewlng to dine t hU dub,
i con-
I
a- a. his custom nearly exery night, hie
i.'i v.mt hambd him a nnte which the bearer
hid Kiid w.'.s to bo detlwr.d Immediately.
It was but seldom that a square whllo
enwlnpu came at this time, and with a
li.irdon.ibln Innk of surprise nnd curlnslty
mi his faco Murgatrosd opened It nnd
lead:
"t must sea you. Will -you come tn tho
hnuse tnnight? . R II. It"
An linur more, and he was In Mrs lllnnd
gnoii's ilrawlnR-riinm. waiting mnre nprv
misty than ho would have tared tn acknnwl
edge. tn himself fnr the daughter of the
limisr to appear. It wns the first time that
she had ever sent fnr him tn go to her, nnd
he was conscious of sonic dcgiee of anxiety
as tn her motive Clexcr lawyer though
lie was. he dreaded her catechizing, particu
larly an. bfcause he knew lti.it whether she
acknnwledged It lo herself 'or not. that It
won ut her Instigation that he bad adopted
tho rnle which, with nr without her ap
proval, he was now determined to play
through to the end. Thn sound of a light
step nn thn thieshnld nf tho room checked
his dlstuttillT speculations, and ho looked
up to see Shirley Jtlnmlgnnd entering tho
mum. An usiinlVho did not permit him to
open the conversation nfler the preliminary
courtesies of greeting between them.
"Something very urgent made mo send
for ynu, Mr. Murgatrnyd," sho began, but
her lips trembled in that alio stopped
abruptly nfter uddlng: "I want to talk
with ynu."
An Instinct told Murgatroyd that It
would bo a grievous mlslako not to accept
without a protesting word tho nolo of nlnof-
ne-s, the desire tn void nny suggestion nf
fnimnr Intimacy that was in her totie.
Rightly he tnlil himself that thn slightest
advances nn his ,iit v-ou'.t rentl in -Hiding
to her distress; that, however much ho
would like to lire;, I; ilciun lhe h.irliii , n.it
had arisen between them, he must bldn hla
time and trust to her emotional nature to
accomplish that. And he was not mistaken,
fnr pie.sently nn Impulse In speak her mind
at any cn.sr took posMsslon nf her, and sho
t.ur.-i forth:
-nilly. why did
Why? "
Can led away by tho tender accents with
which she pronounced hla name, Murga
trnyjl cs.-.iyed tn speak, but eho iiitrirtmted
him
"Don't" - covering her ears with her
hands "don't tell me ! I know you did
it becausft t !-oh. why did you listen to
me! I thought I know what I was talking
abnut," she went on. whllo be snught con
trol nf himself by looking away from her;
"but I knew unthlng of cnnilitinns; nf men.
I thought that a man- that ynu cou'd ac
complish anything you really wanted tn ,n,
"Hut ynu were right. Theso aro Impos
sibilities I understand now now that It's
tno late. I have had my lesson. Only a
few months ago you wero honest, nnd now
you nro corrupt, and 1 alnno nm rccpou
Bible!" Ily tha tlmo slio had finished speaking
Murgatmyd had heroine as hnpertliiliablo na
lie bud been at tho trial, and theio was only
n bint nf t'liderness In tho reassuring words
that In- unu uttered.
"Vnil must not blamo yourself " bo was
neither admitting nor denying tho Impeach
ment "for anything I m.iy Iioao done."
"Rut I dn. I do," sho cried hltterly "And
you must blame me. I always though
Ailsin was a coward to cast the. blamo nn

In' blame now. I gavo jnu nf tho nppln,

tpned to nu and you had cln.eil jour ears

"Uden," be said wiMfulfy. "yes, but
hardly thn Uden you cared for."
Abruptlv her mood changed. Sho lost nil
Rcmhlaurn nf calm, nnd her mce rang with
a.scoiu Mint, befnro she censed, seemed to
Iricludo him ns well ns herself
"What do I caio for success or failure!
I could cut my tonguo out for telling you
that my father wan a failure A failure!
Why, I know that not only was he not a
failure, but that ho wiib really gi.eat ! A

that's nil I want jnu tn be. I dmt't earn
nn lota that you should bo a Senator I
don't want ynu tn bo a Senator. I havo
sent for you tonight to tell you so to stop
fnr good nnd nil tlio thing I set In motion.
She was silent for an Instant; and then sud
denly with a quick return tn gentlcrnss,
and with rtppenl In her eyes, sho mur
mured :
"I want ynu to ronio bark-wvimn back."
In turn he murmured words that Founded
to her llko "lo you."
Shirley shook her head,ns though that
wero a thing out of tho question.
''.No, to vnur honest self," she said earn
estly but kindly. "To tho Hilly Murga
troyd that was."
For n moment they looked steadily Into
each other's ejes. From tho tlmn of Mir
lam's exposure "f him In the courtroom
thern had never been nny admission, any
concession on Murgatroyd'a. pal t. Nor was
there any now; but unknown to himself
thern wus an air of appeal, not wholly fren
from anxiety even, for her faco wan again
showing signs of hardness ns ho spoko:
"I can hardly do that. I cannot stop.
And If I should where Is the Inducement?
Ynu havo tin npple to offer me ; you nro
beyond my reach "
And as if the disprove his own word, nn
Impulse of adoration, too powerful to bo
checked, seized him, and ho caught her
hand nnd pressed It. ....
A btlef moment only Shirley allowed It
to rest in his. thon slowly withdrew It; nnd
her notion told Jilm plainer than words
that thej-e was to" be nothing further be
tween them fho was through with him
ehe must despise him. As an evangelist, as
the good friend she had sent for him, but
m lovere-wio, that vraa avU over. And jret.
had sho faltered nnre, had ehe but opened
her arms tn him. If nnly for the last time,
Murgatrnvd could not tell what he would
havo dune, tn all probability he would
havo suffered exile -sackcloth and ashes for
hie huge misdeed.
And the girl! Shirley felt, knew that
there cnuld he nn compromise. Murgntroyd,
must put go himself, even though It In
vnled a lifetime nf shame. And nfter be
bad yielded up bis nhameless gains, what
then? Shirley did not know sho could not
tell. Rut It wns not given to Murgatroyd
tn know that ho was tho rubjrrt nf her
perplexities; nor could he read, ns he
should have, nny hope In the words which
she now spoke:
"And if I ntn out of your reach It's
vnur own fault. If ynu bad been half the
man I thnught. ynu would never have lis
tened tn me. Rut ynu never cared for me,
evfn though you said sn,". Shirley said,
i,i-ling her pyps down, not daring to look
him In tho face. "What you did. you did
fnr yourself nnd not fnr me You wern
weak from tho start. Any man who would
surrender bis honesty even for a woman
Is not a man. I Fee now that 1 ought not
t-, have rent for joti. I take bark every
thing I have said." Sho paused', nnd then
concluded with a llttlo shake nf tho head:
"I wouldn't marry ynu now If ynu were
the last man nn earth!"
Roth rose to their feet. Habit, perhaps,
rather than nny regret for her words, In
duced her to dismiss him with a tender
expression on her faro. And Murgatroyd
bowed low over the hand she offered him,
pressed tt and, without a word of protest,
wrnt nut nf the room. With his departure
went nut tb last glimmer nf hnpo that hn
could ever return to his better slf. Nothing
rnnld stop him now. As for Shirley? The
moment the door cloeed nn him she sank
with n mnan Intn a chair.

"I think," he assured Mrs. Challnner,
"I hat I have found more than one hook
to bang a hat on. It looks to mo llko a

"I am sure It will be." she replied.
lier assurance was the same nssurancn
that had sustained her In the trial There
was still that mysterious something that
Thorne, could not understand. She seemed
the incarnation nf hope.
"What do ynu think, chief?" asked Mc
C.rath nf Murgatmyd nno day nfter tho
nppenl had been argued.
Murgatmyd shrugged his shoulders.
"That verdict will stick." wns his nnly
comment. '

question nf tho bribe, but Challoner ab
sorbed what he had heard In tho courtroom
and. haxy tlinuEh It had been, he noted that
ejtirlam's uiannor was still hopeful, In fart,
certain Shirley, to, felt, rather than knew,
that Muigatrnyd had removed frnm himself
not the taint of bribery but the violation or
his compact. She felt tho thing was cut
and dried.
One day.lhe clerk of the Court nf Krrora
nnd Appeals placed In tho hands nf a spe
clal messenger a document some five pages
long. It was a carbon copy.
"Take that tn the prosecutor of tho picas,"
Iio commanded, "nnd tell him It's ndvance.
Tho original," bo added, "will be on fllo tomorrow."

Murgatroyd shook his head.

"Shall I tell him?" faltered Mlxley.
