The man who once owned this house went te Seuth America and never came back." i Seuth America. Bancroft stirred un easily, conscious of a chill.' "Heems he turned ever every thing he had te a friend te play' the market en a suae thing, borrowed money en his house and all that; and this friend cleaned .him te a fare-ye-well. Stele everything and beat It. When the crash came the peer dub was thousands of miles away from home. The shock killed his wife.

Queer, that deer plate en the cellar wall nil these years." . . "Let me see It," said Bancroft, his month vnnn nilillv Arv. The deer nlnte was-of ceppei. In the center was graven simply 4 Kpnnfwtv- Htincreft walked the streets' far into the night ; and there was a gesticulatlve frensy te his despair that drew the curiosity et passershy. tie was inuu (crent te alleys and all they might held of bodily injury. He did net care whether he lived 'or died. That house ( The ghostly miseries that still paraded these hallways! He understood every thing new ; the puxzle had ceased U be anil hnd beeemn nn nnen nan in bold type. The blew he had been expecting from the bealnnlns had fallen. His father had, somewhere in the past, com mitted an abominable act. , It was et no matter that since the iiKsoclatlen with Snell & Pride his father had been hencxt. Ilcfore flint lie had betrayed nnd ruined thli peer devil of n Kennedy. "Paid Kennedy in full" hnd signilicance new. Sat isfied vengeance, bad caused the under scoring of these words. Years nfter ward his father in an Idle moment had written nnd underscored them In con templation of a deed accomplished ut terly. It went back te something Ken nedy hnd-dene, trivial or serious; and Milan Bancroft, still pretending te be his friend, hud smashed him by damn able trickery. Even If Kennedy hnd wronged blm, such a reprisal wus hor rible. . These millions of his, then, were baved upon the bleed and bone of a peer dupe nnd the complete ruin of hU family. Oh, he, Bancroft, would hnvc none of that money; he would never touch BpeThcr dollar of It. What he iiiitl givru in ii'Biii'ii'a Biiuuiu biuiiu , ftuuu i out of evil; but, as for himself, neM n penny. Ile would go te werx at anything he could put his hand te pick and shovel, if need be. He was incapable of realising nt this moment that he could net ignore off hand these millions simply by willing it, Hint It would tuke him venrs te slve them nwny without bringing himself under the interest of the lunacy com mission. Hi thoughts were focused unen tbn discovery that bis father hnd robbed, morally if net legally, a trusting man. Tlie utter knowledge tuut urn fnther had been a thoroughly honest mnn all his life was the one thing needed by which the son could forgive the yenra of coldness nnd1 neglect; and new he must held his father's memory forever in contempt. A memorial win dow ! He laughed aloud, brokenly, and a policeman eyed him doubtfully. These Forlorn Years The blew had two edges, und pres ently he felt the cut of the second, lie had leit all hope of Nancy, for ne4 he had absolutely nothing te offer her. He would bave te leave that house, tee, where he hnd known his first happy hours. Oh. no; he could net remain there with the black deed of his father filling the hulls nnrl cnnltlu will. .ittlfi.l wlinufu The highly developed Imagination knows but little el the haiuiy levels of ordinary mortals; today It is the height, tomorrow It is the nbyn. Such imaginations must acquire the balanc ing philosophy of werluliness; and Ilun Ilun ceoft lmd se little that It wns ncgll-i giblc. All these forlorn years, and this te cap them! Ah he walked en aim lcNily there wnn suddenly projected upon bis recollection the Serene face of his father, touched by the setting sun; a face upon which he had never seen any emotion, any agitation, the graven calm of ene who had struck out et his life all things but money money money. Bancroft stepped, as if some In visible barrier had reared itself in hla putb. Blind feel ! Why, of course that was it. The Great Adventure Company! And he Was te pay his miners ueeis : Tomorrow he would see Snell. He would tell the old fellow of the in famy he had stumbled upon and do de do clnre himself as regarded the money, And Snell called him ii feel, or words te that effect. "Hew are you gelns te get rid of It?" cried the old lawyVr wrnthfully. "If you start nny real dainfoelcry I'll npply for trusteeship en the ground Unit you ure nut capable et handling jour" nffuirs. You'll refusp te touch n dollar of it, you sny? What then? Meney doesn't ret like vegetables. It'll keep en growing nut! mounting; nnd Heme fur-off relatives will come into it und blew it llku sailors en leave. If there Is uuy taint in It tuke it out doing geed with it te I he com munity nt large. Tnke the St. Law Law rence River where It leaves Lake On On tnrle. It is drinkable; nnd yet it has drained great title. It becomes pure by contact with ulr. Well, put your money out in the nlr, and it will beenma pure enough for nil earthly purposes. And 1 tell you I don't glve a tinker's dam' what you have discovered. I'll held until the crack of deem that your fnther never roeked unybedy, and that he was as honest a man us ever walked this earth. Yeu, his son, may doubt him, but I, his lawyer, never will." "But why did he hide?" "Hew de you knew he hid?" "Ne office of his own. The secret knocks en his deer, as if he feared some one, nnd. nil that." "And all that!" jemmd Snell. "Dnv. you've stumbled upon something queer, that's a fact; but damn me, if you've get tne rignt angle, incre s a mystery, I'll admit; but it concerns net your father's honesty, but the odd way he lived, He set a groove for himself and never deviated out of it, year in and year out." "What about me? Hew did he treat me?" usked Bancroft, bitterly, "He left you seveu million; te de with as you pleased, He made it possi ble for you te become a scholar without risking the attendant evils .of college rife. He taught you te labor in the fields, te knew the joy of an honestly earned dollar. But I understand what you mean parental neglect, the lack et friendly communion between father and son. What you cemnlutn of is that he always held himself aloof ; you never could get anywhere near him.
