She was the daughter ol the (Ui.ite

Hoon after this Intel estlng conversa

to Ret my tiap, but really to repot t

"Ho now," 1 concluded, "Just give

"No, Hill Jack, I'm going to make

At 11 o'llnik on 8atuid.iv morning I
saw a telegiaph bov entei the giounds,
and then I luepaied toi sonic pm Mo

and all I (ould hear foi the net bout
was "Mi. Uupeit Is mining this aftei

and thanks them all lor theli wel

Th.it evening I walled on them at
dinner I alwajs knew iKnb was a bit
of an aitist In the xx.ij ol toiu.iui hih,
hut his conveisalion at that meal was
nn eje-openci He told hei ol his ti .t -vols
all over the woild, his luck at the
gold diggings in I'nlltoinia, the tie
uiendous estates he had pin dined out
there; and the beautiful p.ilme he had
built A w nuclei fill place It seemed to
bo, complete in e -ry paitleulai ,ie
one.
"And what W this oik thing that is
missing, Unpen."' she nsks Innui out
like.
"A iiiieen, tnj- darling," lie miHweis,
"nnd as soon us my p.ilnio was jeuily 1
set nut for Hngland In the hopa that I
could bilngyou back with mo toshaie

"Oh, Kilpeit, do jou do j'oll tneiin

"U'hv not, my darling.' AVe two aie
nlone in the world, and with you bv tnj
slilu the place In ("iillforiiln -will be a
piiindl.se. I piopose to sell Saiidllnnils
and got away as miou ns we can."
Well, I wa.s so llabbetgastcd that I
chopped n bottle of flr. I wtis alwajs
under the Imptesslon that TJob would
i omo to mo some line night, nnd we
would loot the plate eonifoi tahly; but
when t heaid him talking of selling the
plaie so audui lotisly, well, my In oath
scorned a bit tight on my t best.
Dlnnct was over, and they "-dolled
Into the diawlng loom, and I didn't
sec Hob again that night. Inn Just af
ter bieaklnst the nel moinliig Miss
Cm on flls me to send a man over to
Klehtnond to ask Mr. Wootbow to
come to Snndllands at once.
"Who's WootliowV" I nuked Klovun
"AVonihoix! He's the family law -
J or."
I thought Hob was plnjing ,i vpiv
ilskj game, and I began to get nei v
olis Tholawxpi tinned up about inld
da.v. and afler the thiee had hatl a Ions
conxeis.ition they t-taitLd on turn h.
1 was walling, of loui-se.and lli- law
jer did most of the talking.
"Couldn't hive happened moie con
venient." lie said. "I.oid Snndpipi'
came to mo jcsteiday and asked me If
Snndllands was in Hi' niaikei f .said,
'No, not that I was aw. no ol.' ho ie-
plicd tliat If it was lie would buy it a.s
It stands, lock, stock, and banel, all

"Well, be can have II, ami the hoies
tan ho sent to Tattei sail's."
"And jou will send my Jewels oxei
toinonow? Kupeit Is so ,intous to
see me dot ked in the i.unllv diamond."
"1 shall biing them oxer mvself."
I had heai tl .i lot about those dia
monds, and I smiled htoadly as
thought ot Rob's smai tness.
T ti ied to have a woitl oi two with
Hob lint he alwav.s scorned to tiown
when I appioaebed him, and J lomem
boied bis InstiuctloiiFi not to s-pe.ik to
him until I was jioken to
Hut, to tell the ttuth I began to get
a bit tumbled about Miss Nellj. I
thought Hob was going- a bit too f.u.
It is all veix'well making up to a s-t-v.uu
when jou want a bit of infoi ma

System
Of Clothes
Ready-to-Wear
If you take the
trouble to exam
ine this system
thoroughly you
will be surprised
how far ahead it
is of the Custom
Tailors' system.
It's the care and
thought of every
detail with the
combination o f
stylish cloth pat
terns, perfect
tailoring and the
fitting of every
garment to living models that makes this Atterbury
System popular among men who always wor
shipped at the custom tailors' shrine. There are
many distinguishing features that cannot be explained
fully in this writing; visit our 4tAtterbury" floor, there
these fine examples of the Tailor's Art can be fully
demonstrated. Just a little talk on our part without
that usual pressing to buy.
THE DELSARTE ROLL
It's another revelation of our progressive method. A
Fall and Winter Suit Style that is a decided departure
from any previously shown by us. If your are con
sidered a sweii dresser among your friends we believe
this will be of interest to you,
