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"!

"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

• TUESDAY EVENING,
he phoned Mr. Grtmshaw. 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;

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

on his way.

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

"But this news changes things,";
Helen protested.
"Ail right, but I should like to!

You might not like me to talk be

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." E. J. D.
