Harrowby stopped to the tel"- bone He summoned his forces. A 14#> ned unhappy silence ensued. Then two twr men entered the room together. "Mlnot, George, old boy." Lord liar rowby said helplessly. "Miss Meyrick and her father have discovered the ex istence of a certain insurance policy about which you both know. They have believed that my motive in seek ing a marriage was purely mercenary: that my affection for the girl who Ib— was to have become my wife cannot be sincere. They arc wrong—quite wrong. Both of you know that I've sent for you to help me make them un derstand. I cannot." George Harrowby stepped forward and smiled his kindly smile. "My dear young lady." he said, "I regret that policy very deeply. When I first heard of it I, too. suspected Al lan's motives. But after I talked with him—after I saw you—l was convinced that his affection for you was most sincere. I thought back to the gam bling schemes for which the family has been noted. I saw it was the old passion cropping out anew in Allan— that he was really not to blame—that beyond any question he was quite de voted to you. Otherwise I'd have done everything In my power to prevent the wedding." "Yes?" Miss Meyr'.ck's eyes flashed dangerously. "And your other wit ness, Allan?" The soul of the other wituess squirm ed in agony. This was too much—too much! "You. Mlnot." pleaded Harrowby— "you have understood?" "I have felt that you were sincerely fond of Miss Meyrick," Minot replied. "Otherwise I should not have done what I have done." "Then, Mr. Mlnot." the girl Inquired, "you think I would be wrong to give up all plans for the wedding?" "I —I—yes, I do," writhed Mlnot. "And you advise me to marry T.ord Harrowby at once?" Mr. Mlnot passed his handkerchief over his damp forehead. Had the girl no mercy? "I do," he answered miserably. Cynthia Meyrick laughed, harshly, mirthlessly. "Because that's your business—your mean little business," she said scorn fully. "I know at last why you came to San Marco. I understand every thing. You had gambled with Lord Harrowby, and you came here to see that you did not lose your money. Well, you've lost! Carry that news back to the concern you work for! In spite of your heroic efforts you've lost! At. the last moment Cynthia Meyrick changed her mind!" CHAPTER XIX. i Cvnthia Breaks With Harrowby, E)ST! The word cut Minot to the quick. Lost, indeed! Lost Jephson's stake—lost the girl he loved! He had failed Jeph son—failed himself! After all he had done, nil he had sacrificed, a double defeat and therefore doubly bitter, "Cynthia, surely you don't mean"— Lord Harrowby was pleading. "I do, Allan," said the girl more gen tly. "It was true what I told you there by the window. It is for better. Fa ther. will you go down aud say I'm not to be married, after all?" Spenser Meyrick nodded and turned toward the door. "Cynthia," cried Harrowby brokenly. There was no reply. Meyrick went out. "I'm softy," his lordship said—"sor ry I made such a mess of it, the more so because I love you, Cynthia, and al ways shall. Goodby." He held out his hand. She put hers in it. "It's too bad, Allan," she said. "But it wasn't to be. And even now you have one consolation—the money that Boyd's must pay you." "The money means nothing. Cyn thia"— "Miss Meyrick is mistaken," Minot interrupted. "Lord Harrowby has not even that consolation. Boyd's owes him nothing." "Why not?" asked the girl defiantly. "Up to an hour ago," said Mlnot, "you were determined to marry his lordship." "I should hardly put it that way. But I Intended to." "Yes. Then you changed your mind. Why?" "I changed it because I found out about this ridiculous policy." "Then his lordship's taking out of the policy caused the calling off of the wed ding?" "Y-yes. Why?" "It may interest you to know and It may interest Lord Harrowby to recall that fivo minutes before ho took out this policy he signed an agreement to cio everything In his power to bring nbout the wedding. And he further promised that if the wedding should CASTORIA For Infants and Children in Use For Over 30 Years 'or.aUais. be called off because of any subsequent iict of his he would forfeit the pre mium." "By gad!" said Lord Harrowby. "The taking out of the policy was a subsequent act." continued Minot. "The premium. I fancy, is forfeited." "He"-; got you. Allan," said ' ,orge Harrowby, coming forward, "and I for one can't sav I'm sorry. You're going to tear up that policy now and go to work for me." * "I for one am sorry," cried Miss Meyrick, Wr flashing eyes on Minot "I wanted you to win, Allan. I want ed you to win." "Why?" Minot asked innocently. "You ought to know," she answered and turned away. Lord Harrowby moved toward the door. "We're not hard losers," he said blankly. "But—everything's gone. It's a bit of a smashup. Goodby, Cynthia." "Goodby, Allan —and good luck." "Thanks." And Harrowby went out with his brother. Mine: stood for a time, not daring to move. Cynthia Meyrick was at the window; her scornful back was not en couraging. Finally she turned, saw Minot and gave a start of surprise. "Oh—you're still here?" "Cynthia, now yoa understand," he said. "You know why I acted as I did. You realize my position. I was In n horrible fix"— She looked at him coldly. "Yes," she said, "I do understand. You were gambling on me. You came down here to defend your employer's cash. Well, you have succeeded. Is there anything more to be said?" "Isn't there? On the ramparts of the old fort the other night"— "Please do not make yourself any more ridiculous than Is necessary. You have put your employer's money above my happiness—always. Really you looked rather cheap today, with your sanctimonious advice that I marry Harrowby. Aren't you beginning to realize your own position—the silly, childish figure you cut?" "Then you"— "Last night when you came stagger ing across the lawn to me with this foolish gown in your arms I told you I hated you. Do you imagine I hale you any less now? Well, I don't." Her voice became tearful. "I hate you! I hate you!" "But some day"— She turned away from him, for she was sobbing outright now. *• "I never want to see you again as long as I live!" she cried. "Never! Never! Never!" Limp, pitiable, worn by the long fight he had waged, Minot stood, staring helplessly at her heaving shoulders. "Then I can only say I'm sorry," he murmured. "And—goodby." lie waited. She did not turn toward him. He stumbled out of the room. Mlnot went below and sent two mes sages, one to Jephson, the other to Thaeker. The lobby of the De la Pax was- thronged with brilliantly attired wedding guests, who, metaphorically, beat their breasts in perplexity over the tidings that had come even as they craned their necks to catch the first glimpse of that distinguished bridal party. The lavishly decorated parlor that was to have been the scene of the ceremony stood tragically deserted. Minot cast one look at it and hurried again to his own particular cell. lie took a couple of time tables from his desk and sat down in a chair facing the window. All over now. Nothing to do but return to the north as fast as the trains would take him. He had won, but he had also lost. It was late in the afternoon when the clamor of his telephone recalled him to himself. He leaped up and seized the receiver. Allan Ilarrowby's voice came over the wire. "Can you run down to the room, Ml not?" he Inquired. "The last call, old boy." Minot went. He found both the ITar rowbys there, prepared to say goodby to San Marco forever. "Going to New York on the Lady Evelyn," said George Harrowby, who was aggressively cheerful. "From there I'm taking Allan to Chicago." Lord Harrowby smiled wanly. "Nothing left but Chicago," he dqawled. "I wanted to see you before I went, Mlnot, old chap. Not that I can thank you for all you did. I don't know how. You stood by me like—like a gentleman. And I realize that I have no claim on Boyd's. It was zll my fault. If I'd never let Martin Wall have that confounded policy! But what's the use of ifflng? All my fault Ar\—my thanks, old boy!" He sighed. "Nonsense!" said Minot. "A business proposition solely, from my point of view. There's no t hanks coming to me." "It seems to me," said George Har rowby, "that as the only victor in this affair you don't exhibit a proper cheer fulness, By the way, we'd be delight ed to take you north on our boat. Why not?" But Mlnot shook his head. "Can't spare the time. Thank yon Just the same." lio replied. "I'd like nothing better." Aml'.t expressions <>f regrtM the Tlar rewbys started for the elevator.

City Commissioner Harry F. Bow man, superintendent of public safety, who provided the standard system in response to a general request of West Harrisburg business men and other citizens, yesterday mOrnlng completed arrangements with the Harrisburg l„ight and Power Company to turn on the lights Saturday evening. Because of the water and light com missioner's sudden illness it is doubt ful if the switching into service of the new system will be marked by any speoial ceremonies, at least not so far as the city is concerned. The installation of the single stand ards, similar to the type placed on North Second street from Locust to State, was begun late in the Fall and the electric light company had planned to have the service ready for the first week in December so that the new lights could glow as a sort of a com memoration of "electrical week." De lay in the shipments of materials, how ever, retarded the work considerably, but the company expected then to have the lights in shape to switch on during this week—for the Joint bene fit of the business men and Christmas shoppers. The work was pushed as rapidly as the arrival of materials would permit, but the job couldn't be finished in time. Commissioner Bow man says ho has been Informed that the new system will be ready to throw into service Saturday. MRS. GERTRUDE JAMES DIES Hummelstown, Pa., Dec. 20.

Ohio, TARIFF REVISION IS FORECASTED Democratic Leader Admits Schedules Must Be Raised to Meet Expenses Washington, D. C., Dec. 20. vision of the tariff to prepare for the expected invasion of the surplus manu factures of Europe is likely to form the most important action of the next Congress, according to the views of a member of the ways and means committee conversant with the atti tude of President Wilson. Such revision by the present Con gress would be attempted were it thought anything could be done to overcome the deficit of $300,000,000. But with comparatively little being Im ported from Europe at present, any raising of tariff schedules would be futile, said this congressman. He said tariff revision seemed to be the only acceptable means of taxation to pro duce the needed revenue. Tariff revision in the Sixty-fifth Con gress, he continued, will come because the measures this Congress adopts to meet the deficit will be so obnoxious that they can be retained no longer than necessity demands. Therefore, while not admitting that they are go ing to consider a protective tariff in the next session, responsible Demo cratic leaders to-day admit that there will be a revision of the tariff upward for revenue purposes first and sec ondarily as a protection against the dumping of the cheap products of Europe following the war. President Wilson, who has already Indicated that he would not oppose a revision of the tariff, will soon appoint the tariff commission so the next Con gress will be furnished with infor mation upon which to act. stores You will save money on every purchase.
