WOMEN'S I A GIRL AND A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 'Ve Water CHAPTER XXXIX. Several days had passed, and Has brook Bainbridge had not again re ferred to the affair of the roses. He P'las been uniformly kind and consider ate, but had said nothing beyond ask ing each morning how Miss Morley was getting on. At the end of the second day Ran dolph Pickens called upon Agnes. This time he brought no flowers, but still wore the gorgeous attire in which ho had appeared on his former visit. As the girl looked at him, and saw his desire to behave as if he were not thinking of his last conversation with her, she felt for him a compas sion that was almost maternal. She was glad that Jennie O'Neill had removed Bainbridge's roses from the sitting room this morning. The petals had begun to fall, and the Irish girl had used the right of private judg ment and had thrown the flowers out. They might have reminded Randolph Pickens of those other roses and of his own sweetpeas. The night was warm, and Agnes and her caller sat by the front window. Behind them the gas jet was turned low to lessen the heat that came from it. Outside the electric lights glowed whitely. As the man's first embarrassment wore off he talked with fewer stilted phrases than usual. Agnes' manner may have reflected her kindly feeling toward him, and unconsciously, she may have made him feel more at ease than usual. Or it may have been that now that he realized that she could be only a friend to him, he had none of the palpitations, self-consciousness and longing of the lover who la un certain how he stands in the estima tion of the object of his regard. A Secret Out Whatever the cause, by the end of an hour Agnes found herself chatting of matters of general interest. This man was no fool. He had read much and thought deeply. How unfortun ate, she reflected, that to the casual ac quaintance he would never show his best side. "You have read a surprising amount, Mr. Pickens," she said at last. "How did you ever take time to do it?" "It Is almost my only recreation," he informed her. "Forgive me if I descend to personalities to the extent of telling you that I was deprived of the advantage of a college education through no lack of desire on my part to embrace them, but because my father's financial status made it quite impossible for mo to gratify my as pirations along that line." "I see," rejoined Agnes. "That was too bad!" "Perhaps so," he agreed. "But sometimes one sees one's duty so plainly that one cannot evade it. And when my father passed away, I knew I had been Eight to renounce all ambi tions but the one of caring for my mother." "How long ago was that?"

JAMES R. RYAN The Telegraph Bindery Will Rebind Your Bible Satisfactorily THURSDAY EVENING, HARRBSBXJRO 9SBb TELEGRAPH "Seven years ago," he told her. "It was a hard struggle for a while, but now I have enough to keep me com fortable and to enable me to discharge other obligations that devolve upon me." "Is your mother living?" Agnes put the query unthinkingly. Pickens hesitated a moment. "Tee," he said, "she is living—down In my home State." "I should think you would want her up North with you," Agnes observed. "Why not Bend for her? Then you would not be so lonely. You and she could have a nice little home here in New York together." In the white light from the street lamp she saw the pale face stiffen. The voice that replied was low, but every word was distinct. "My mother is in the insane asy lum," Pickens said slowly. "She will never get over it. The shock of my father's death brought back the old trouble. The case is hopeless—for it is hereditary. Her mother died in sane." "Oh —you poor fellow!" The words escaped the girl involuntarily, and she leaned towards the lonely man, her face all sympathy. "Forgive me for asking about her—please!" He Tells Her "I am glad you asked me," he said gently, "for I want you to know how very right you were in answering me as you did the night that —the last night I called. It was wicked and wrong to ask you to marry me. I have no business to marry any woman, ever. The taint is in my blood—but I tried to forget It when my position became such that I could support a wife—and I cared so much for you that it made me wickedly selfish. "I promised not to speak to you of the matter again—but I just wanted to tell you that you must not be sorry for having to hurt me as you had to that night. You kept me from sin ning against you and myself. I will never have a wife nor a home, but"— with a gulp—"l do want your friend ship. I know T am not worthy of it, but it would make me very happy if I might call you my friend." All his pompous manner was gone. He spoke as simply as a boy, and, as she listened, the girl felt a great wave of pity sweep over her, and she stretched out her hand to him. "You will always have my friend ship, Mr. Pickens," she said. "I like and respect you. You are a good man." He smiled gratefully, and stood up to take the hand she held out to him. "I will try not to let my regard for you be any burden to you," he said. "Thank you for your goodness. If I can ever be of any service to you— even at the risk of my life I will con sider that I am honored." She was not ashamed of herself when she found, after his departure, that she was crying softly from sheer pity for this lonely, doomed creature. (To Be Continued.) RECOVERING FROM STORM AND QUAKE Two Deaths and Light Property Damage Caused by Hurricane Mobile, Ala.. Oct. 19. Southern Alabama and Western Florida were recovering to-day from the hurricane which swept out of the Gulf across this coast yesterday, causing two deaths and property and marine loss. Although the wind attained a greater velocity-than that which accompanied the storm of last July, both Mobiles and Pcnsacola, the chief cities in the hurricane's path suffered far less dam age. The total loss in the two cities, probably will not exceed SIOO,OOO. The chief damage here was to rail road sheds and terminals and to tele phone, telegraph and light and power wires. Several persons were blown through plate glass windows but es caped serious injury. Although the storm's Intensity de creased as it swept inland, southern Alabama suffered considerably, houses being unroofed and poles blown down at Troy while minor damage was done in a number of other towns. As the storm swept up through Ala bama and Western Georgia it was accompanied by two distinct earth quake shocks, which were felt as far north as Louisville, Ky., and as far east as Augusta. Ga, The tremors were more decided at Birmingham than elsewhere and three thousand people rushed from their homes and otfices. Deaths and Funerals I>ELMAR W. BOMGASDXER Delmar W.
