(Continued.)
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

'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."

SWITCH WEST END
LIGHTS SATURDAY
New Ornamental Standard
System in North Third St.
Ready Xmas Eve
Saturday evening, December 23, Har
risburg's unofficial Christmas Eve will
have a place all its own in the history
of the West End, for with the falling
twilight the new system oi ornamental
electric lighting on North Third street
will be switched into service.
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.

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.
