OF INTEREST T The Fortunes of Emily Bij HAL COFFMAN CHAPTER X. Sanford Discovers Ford is at the Safe After Forbes had searched through 4 the safe and the drawers of Grim shaw's desk he looked up and saw Jack Sanford standing in the doorway ■watching him. Jack had not seen Forbes take anything, but knew from the' way he was acting and the curse of disgust ho uttered that he couldn't find what he wanted. Forbes looked at Sanford for a mo ment, and then said with a sneer, "Well, what are YOU doing around here so late?" "I think you arc the one to do a lit tle explaining. A lot of mysterious things have been going on around this office, and I think the old gentleman ■would be interested in knowing them," Jack answered. "The old man will believe me before he will you, so if you start anything I'll tell him you are the one who was looking through his desk." Jack turned and called to the watchman who was passing in the outer hallway. As he did this, Forbes started to edge toward the front door. Rut Jack got between him and the door and told the watchman to take care of Forbes for a moment while "'THEIR MARRIED LIFE"! CojrrlcM kr litmutloiiil Neva Serrlea "I wonder if you would be willing to see me on a matter of business." the letter had read, and Helen had thought seriously of breaking her ■word and answering it. For one thing she was intensely curious. Ned Burns had been the one romantic element in her life, he had supplied that emotional note that Warren thought foolish and unnatural. Helen had been forced to sacrifice a great many of her ideas since her marriago. She had been forced to allow the illusions she had formed to drift from her, or mold them selves in accordance with what she had chosen. She was living a conventional married life—nine out of ten couples live the same. The men are hustling business men, glad to have a home and willing to uphold it well, grate ful in a sense for their well being, and taking their wives for granted. Men like Wauren have no senti ment, they light shy of it because they had to be caught at a disad vantage. And Helen was one of the women w r ho crave things of this t kind. She fought against the prac tical acceptance of a love like this! —she wanted something more and ] she knew that it was useless to ex pect it. Since Ned Rurns had spoken last summer Helen had not seen him. Helen did not care for Ned, in fact he meant nothing at all to her in the one sence that mattered, but sli liked him, and the fact that ho Heally valued her and wanted her enough to make it known flat tered her, as it would any woman. Her thoughts often drifted toward him, and it was with a sense of power that she read his letter and ■wondered what he wanted. She knew that she ought to leave the letter entirely unanswered or else write a dignified note, telling him that it would be impossible to see him. Rut her curiosity was rampant. Ned had said on a mat ter of business; what could it be? Could she see him without arous ing Warren's suspicions and hurt ing her own sense of pride? No; judging the matter from every viewpoint it would be very unwise and she would do wrong to attempt it at all. Having decided finally, Helen de termined to banish the matter from her thoughts, but it kept obtruding itself again and again. Finally, just as she w'as about to compro mise with herself she was called to the telephone, and much to her sur prise found Ned at the other end of the wire. Ned Calls Up "Hello, Helen," came his voice, cool and even. Helen thought it j best to follow his cue, and she an swered him in the same friendly fashion. "I suppose you received my let ter?" Ned responded. "Yes, and I was awfully surprised. You know, Ned, that under no con-1 ditions would it be possible for you ! to come here. I am really amazed 1 that you would write to me at all." I "Why, Helen, you're too broad to j allow a thing like last summer to stand in your own light. I have forgotten all about it. By the way, I have some news for you, or shall I have very soon. I am about to be come engaged." "Why, Ned!" Helen exclaimed. Ry rights she should have been glad and she was in a sense for it solved I the problem that had been worrying I her, but there was something else ss222i2HSiSsSHsiSSsi^9S^^^^^^^SiSSS^^^ii N. B. C.

The sen ior jartner told him he would be right down and not to let Forbes get away. When the old man arrived lie beck oned the three of them into his pri vate office. Then turning on Forbes, he said: ".Vow Forbes, what d you want? Don't lie, I know all about you, sir, been suspecting you; that's the reason I gave you your old -job back while Miss Pierson is away; thought you'd do something so we could catch you; now what'sa matter? Don' think you or any outsider will get that new code so you'd better put 011 your hat and beat. it. Sorrv, I had somethin' bet ter in view for you. Your money'll be ready to-morrow. Sanford, I want you to take charge of the branch down in Rio, see me to-morrow about With that, the old man turned abruptly and left them. Forbes said nothing, but his head hung down and he slowly walked to his desk, picked up a few personal things and deject edly -walked out. , "Poor devil," muttered Sanford to tl.e watchman as they saw him slowly close the front door, sigh and start on his way. (To Be Continued.) in her feeling, something Intangi ble, a hurt that she had been so Quickly forgotten, and her place in Ned's affections, wrong as they were, so quickly filled. Her pride was wounded seriously, and she knew it." "I don't hear any congratula tions." "Why," grasped Helen, "I was too much surprised. Is it any one I know? Oh, I do congratulate you, Ned. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and I am so glad." "Thanks," he said dryly. "I don't think you know her, and I can't very well talk now, but I suppose you won't object to talking over some business with me now, will you " Helen hesitated. Of course, it did make a difference, all the differ ence in the world. "Why we shall both be glad to see you," she said enthusiasticallv, "do come up and tell us about her!" ... tight, I will," Ned responded, hut I want to put a business prop osition up to you, that is what I really want. I have no desire to force myself upon Warren. You know he was pretty angry at me and he may not be willing to over look it." "But this news changes things,"; Helen protested. "Ail right, but I should like to! run in and see you about this first. You might not like me to talk be fore Warren it's a business prop osition, you know. How about sparing me a few minutes this aft ernoon?" "Not this afternoon, Ned, I want to see W T arren and tell him first " "Very well, Mrs. Rluebeard." Jsed laughed, "I'll leave it to you. 111 make it to-morrow if every thing is all right. Good-by." Helen rani; off and dropped into I a . c 'haii\ Ned Burns engaged, or about to be.

Helen's thought flashed across her mind that Ned might nave just made it up in order to see her, but she was too curious to hear what he had to propose to allow anything to stand in the way of seeing him now.

Gilchrist Memorial Is Impressive Service A most beautiful and Impressive memorial service in honor of the late Wr. William Wallace Gilchrist, who for eighteen years was conductor of the Harrisburg Choral Society, was attended by a large number of the ! eminent composer's admirers and ! friends last evening in Zion Lutheran j Church. The musical numbers were most ably performed by the chorus and these soloists: iss Sara Lemer, vlo j linist; Mrs. William Bumbaugh, Mrs. I Roy G. Cox, Miss Heicher, George Sut | ton, M. D. Hollenbaugh, Charles Cas -1 sel and Mr. Decevee, who gladly gave j their services in token of the high re j gard they had for Dr. Gilchrist. "Immortality and Music" was the subject of the Rev. S. W. Herman's very appropriate and interesting ad dress, in which he said: "The fact that a voice is stilled that thrilled those who heard it with its gifted power; that a mind and heart will no longer conceive for earthly enjoyment aad blessing melodies that clothe , thoughts with garments of rare j beauty; that an arm and hand which seemed to summon response from throats and souls, entering into and interpreting the words, the thoughts and soul interests of the greatest of the world's composers—all of these seemingly sad facts are negatived by' the greater fact that with Mac Donald we can say, 'I came from God, and I am going back to God, and I will not [ have any gap of death in the middle of my life'." That which is most vital, then, is not the tongue or hand, but the im mortal spirit. "The question of immortality in this moment, confronted as we arc by memories of a well spent, service filled life seems the best proved hypothesis of experience. Skill and application, such influential powers, must live on with the soul that applied and gave birth to soul-radiating forces of beauty and Rood. Our friend the student, teacher and friend of music and musicians, who admired and cultivated the best, and who has left a rich inheritance behind him, has given up his task here on earth to grow into a more perfect workman —There."
