'II. BROOKB would like to
tec you, sir. I told him
you wero In, but he would
not come up and asked mo
to let you know ho was downstairs."
"Tell him it's all right I'll sec him."
"You mean that he's to conie up?"
"Yes, if he doesn't mind."
Tho landlady went out, gathering
from tho visitor's unusual request and
her boarder's reply that there had been
trouble between them. Jlmsy pushed
away the book he had been reading
and leaned back In Ills chair to await
his former friend's coming.
Brooks shuffled rather than walked
In. lie did not offer to shake hands,
but, with n subdued "Hello, Jlmsy,"
seated himself on the edge of the arm
chair that In former days he occupied
as his own. Then he seemed to forget
where he was, sank back, shrinking
Into his overcoat, and sat as though
stupefied, twisting his hat In his hands
slowly and mechanically.
Smith was shocked at the change In
his appearance. Ills face was white
and thin, and tho eyes, which were al
most expressionless, were deep sunk In
the sockets. There was stubble on his
chin; his formerly neatly plastered
hair was disheveled. '
"Hoy, you're 111," said Jlmsy with
concern. "Let mo get a bracer for
you."
lie rose nnd produced n decanter of
whisky, but his visitor declined, this
time with a wan flickering smile of ap
preciation. "No, thanks. Jlmsy. I don't feel like
it Just now. I've been drinking too
much of the stuff, and I baven't eaten
since last night, I think."
"For heaven's sake!" exclaimed
Jlmsy.
Brooks would have restrained him,
but he was out of the door and bound
ing downstairs three steps at a time.
Brooks sank back Into the chair and
relapsed Into his condition of hebetude.
In a little while Smith returned, a
plate heaped high with sandwiches In
one hand and a bowl of hot bouillon In
the other. Brooks refused the sand
wiches, but he took the bowl, and,
holding It In both hands which trem
bledsipped Its grateful contents.
"Jlmsy, you're awfully good," he
sighed.
"Oh. no none of that," protested
Smith. "Tell me what brought you
here. What can I do for you?"
"I don't know why 1 came, after
after the way I acted last time. I"
"Never mind that. Let's forget about
It."
"No. I have no right here. Jlmsy.
I'm done for."
"How done for?"
"I am. and you'll kick me out, as I
deserve, when you know. Jlmsy. I've
done it again. I'm a thief a second
time, and again for n woman."
Smith looked grave, but he said
nothing.
"What! You don't get up and kick
me? Well, well! I suppose It's Just
like you, but I rather hoped you would.
You're the only man who wouldn't
But wait till you hear. I can tell It to
yon because you can't help me. No
body can. I'm beyond helping."
"Better try a sandwich first" sug
gested Smith. "There's no hurry."
"Thanks; I think I will. That beef
tea did me good."
no ate three sandwiches ravenously,
washing them down with water.
"There Isn't a whole lot to relate," ho
said. "You can fill In the details for
yourself. I tried backing the ponies
again; then I stole from the bank.
There was an examination of the books
at the bank four days ago. I didn't
turn up there that day, and I haven't
been there since; but of course, the
game is up. I wandered about drink
ing to try to forget my troubles till all
my money wns gone. Then I sobered
up, and here I am. This time there's
no one to save me. Tho bank couldn't
be fixed, even if I had the funds to
make my stealings good. They'd get
me wherever I hid myself, that's sure.
They must bo looking for mo now
And, O God. I can't face It!"
Tears rained down bis face tears
that he made no effort to hide or wipe
away
"I knew I was going headlong down
to hell knew what I was doing saw
the certain punishment yet couldn't
stop myself. And now I have reached
the mouth of the pit"
He shuddered and writhed in agony
of torment turning his pltlfulj stream
ing eyes upon Smith.
"Oh, Jlmsy, if you would only kill
me and end It all," he moaned. "Oh,
If I only had the courage to kill my
self!" Smith, greatly agitated, Jookcd at the
miserable man In perplexity.
"I wish I could help you, Joe," he
Bald. "But this time I don't sea bow
you can bo helped."
"It isn't possible. There's nothing
you could do. I'm dono for. It's my
own fault" ho sobbed. "I brought It
oil on myself. I have been, weak oh,
wealc and a fool. And now If s come
to this. No; nobody's to blame but my
self unless if Emma."
THe rose to &j.
"Shako" hands with me, J I may," be
begged. "It's the band of a thief, a
criminal's band, .but you were glad to
take It In friendship one, when It wti
honest, and Ifa the laat time 111 ever
ask you to do anything tor me. Tou'll
Smith" grasped the hand held out to
him, and his pressure was more elo
quent of his feelings than mere words
could havo been. Ho could find no
phrases adequate to express them, so
remained silent but he slipped Into
the wretched man's pocket as Brooks
passed out of the door a bundle of
banknotes that he had taken without
counting from a drawer.
Snow had begun to fall. A high
wind, blowing apparently from all
quarters, hardened tho flakes and pro
pelled them with stinging force Into
! tho faces of tho pcoplo in the streets.
Brooks had no umbrella, nor had be
i gloves, and the wind cut to the bone.
Yet he paid scant heed to his discom
fort and ambled away from Smith's
abode, no turned up his coat collar
and pulled his hat over bis eyes. More
than once when he thought he was
being followed he went sick with fear.
Every mlnuto ho expected to feel a
hand on his shoulder.
Why should he lack tho pluck to kill
himself? A fugitive from justice,
friendless and penniless, everything
that was worth while In life gone for
ever, what had he to hope from living?
The prison door from which he had
shrunk with such dread before now
was wide open to receive him, would
receive him as Inevitably as day would
follow tho night He remembered hav
, Ing read that n man shot through tho
I brain never felt the messenger which
snuffed out his life. In the drawer of
his bureau was a loaded revolver that
he had long kept there for self protec
tion In case of need. A movement of
his finger would end all. A feeling
almost of relief came with this thought,
and he quickened his steps. Thero was
only one thing to fear now that he
would bo caught before he could reach
his room. As he trudged along ho
found himself at the corner of the
street In which the Harrises lived.
Emma! How different she had been
from the other! She had not taken;
she had given. Love had not been
dependent upon tho bringing of gifts;
it had been lavished upon him. When
I he had been despondent she had com
forted him; when things were going
I wrong sho had encouraged him; when
his head ached she had rested it on
her bosotn. And It had come to this
that he bad lost her and, with her,
' nil; that ho was an outcast at her
I door.
An Insane desire to seo her took pos
! session of him. It grew, became over
powering, swept aside all the objec
tions of reason. He was a dying man,
Hand nothing was denied to the dying.
He retraced his steps and rang the
bell. The door opened, and he ascend- 1
ed the well remembered stairs. Mrs.
Harris flat was on the first landing. A ,
maid who did not know him answered
bis ring.
"Is, Mrs. Brooks at homo?" he asked.
The girl shook her bead.
"Mrs. Brooks? No; no one of that
name Uvea here. This Is Mrs. Harris
Sirtmunts. Mrs. Harris and Miss
Beth havo gone out. Miss Emma is
In."
Miss Emmal She had even discard
ed his name, then! The blow was
hard.
"I would like to seo her."
"Your card, sir, please."
"Tell her Mr. Smith Is calling."
The name bad flashed to him with
the conviction that sho would not re
ceive him If ho gave his own.
He followed on the heels of the
maid.
"You needn't bother," ho said and
brushed past her at tho door of the
parlor.
Emma was arranging some orna
ments on the mantelpiece. For a mo
ment she did not recognize him. Then
she recoiled, with a little cry, from tho
wild eyed, disheveled specter who,
bat In hand, stood before her.
"Yes, Emma, It's me, or what Is
left of me," ho said.
"What brings you here? now did
.you get In?" she demanded, wltn
frightened eyes.
"Don't bo afraid. You havo nothing
to fear from me." he assured her. "I'm
going on n long Journey yes. a long,
long Journey, and I've como to 6ay
goodby. You'll never seo me again.
I shall bo no moro troublo to, any
body." "There is no need to come here. I
cannot receive you. You must go."
"Emma, I know how bad I was to
you, how"
"I cannot listen to your excuses. It
i Is useless to recall the past Pleaso
i go!"
"I havo no wish to recall It I ask
ouly your forgiveness ask It as a dy
ing man. You cannot refuse."
"You have been dead long years to
me, and I have prayed God that I
might never seo you again. I paid
you In full for my freedom. Why
havo you como to trouble mo? Go,
please, and leavo me In peace."
"All right," he said sorrowfully. "I
will go. Goodby, Emma."
With bowed head he went toward
the door, stopped and turned to her
with outstretched arms, pleading In
his eyes.
"Emma, ono kiss my pardon and
absolution beforo I die."
"No; oh, no I"
Bhe retreated, shuddering, terrified.
He followed her, desperate, resolved
to take by force what she would not
give, to feel once more In his arms the
little form that once bad nestled there
fondly.
She read his purpose and shrieked.
Mrs. Harris, Beth and Captain Wil
liams were just euterlng, and they
rushed In with the maid.
Brooks turned to escape as Emma, al
most hysterical with horror and fear,
utter4 scream after scream. He' ran
right into Williams, who recog-aiced
him at once and dealt him a smashing
blow that sent him to tht floor. Thet
th captain grasped the half stunned
man and, pulling him to his feet held
him while he Inquired what had bap-
Emma, calmed by her mother and
sister, tremblingly explained. ' Wil
liams looked nt his prisoner, undivided
.what to do. Brooks did not open III
mouth. The captain walked him out
on tho landing and. threntcnlni; to kill
htm If he ever dared to molrM IJiuinii
again, threw him down the stiJr
CHAPTER XXV.
BBUISED and dazed, aching all
over and very weak, Itrooks
picked himself up and made
his way to the street lie had
now reached the extreme of hopeless
ness and desperation. Everybody, tho
whole world, was against him, except
Jlmsy Smith, nnd he could do nothing
for him. The only being who had
loved him had shrunk from him with
dread, refused him the sacrament of a
last kiss, besought In charity.
He hardly knew how he got there,
but be reached home without molesta
tion and mounted by the stairway un
perceived to his room. Once Inside he
locked tho door nnd turned oti the
light It was nt least gratefully warm
there, and he was nt last safe from
the clutches of the law. Escape lay at
his hand. In a moment all would be
over.
Nothing had been disturbed during
his absence. The revolver was still In
the drawer where he had left It. Ho
took It and. gazing at himself In the
bureau glass, raised the firearm to his
right temple, ne was appalled as he
looked at the ghastly, haggard face
before him and the eyes, fenr haunt
ed, that stared out of their dark and
deeply sunken rims like the optics of
an owl. The revolver shook In his
numbed hand, nnd he could scarce
bend his finger on the trigger.
What was his hurry? Why not wait
until be had warmed his hand and
make the deed surer? If the police
came for him death was at his beck
and would cheat them at an instant's
notice. His craven spirit Inspired him
with the desire to live a little longer.
He laid the revolver on the table
and rubbed his hands to set the blood
circulating. Then he held them over
tho heat radiator. Ho remembered
that In the clothes closet was a full
bottle of whisky. Tho stuff would
soon warm him. He took off his over
coat to hang It up in the closet and
felt In n pocket for his handkerchief.
Ills hand encountered the roll of bills
Smith had slipped In there. For n mo
ment n gleam of hope flashed Its cheer
ing ray as he contemplated the money.
Here was enough to enable him to get
away.
But his despondency refused the
comfort what was the use? To at
tempt escape now would be to fall into
the hands of the police sleuths who
must be on the lookout for hltn. He
surmised that the weather had driven
the watchers to take shelter and had
enabled him to slip Into the house un
noticed or unrecognized. No, he had
done with life nnd all Its worries and
disappointments. Better death than
the consequences of living, no would
havo to die at some time or other any
how. Ho poured out a large glass of
whisky and swallowed It The fiery
stuff warmed him all over. He sat
down to think, and bis thoughts took
the shape of a review of Ills life. Ho
had never been auy good to himself
pr anybody else never. Brought up
by a maiden aunt, who had taken him
in when as a young boy ho had lost
his widowed mother, he had repaid
her with waywardness and Indiffer
ence. In the declining years of her
llfo when she nei-ded aid and he was
a young man ho had kept his earnings
selfishly for himself, doling out to her
n few dollars at Irregular Intervals,
and he was glad when sho had coased
to bo a burden by dying In a hospital.
He had played his cards well. Ingra
tiated himself Into the favor of Mr.
Harris, his employer, and by good act
ing had won tho love of Emma. This
had been the great coup of his career,
but It had availed him little. Fortune,
after smiling at him, had turned her
back, and llfo had been a failure ever
since.
As bo summed it all up and contem
plated himself ns a pariah, a hunted
man at bay amid tho wreck of hope,
love, llfo Itself, driven to the alterna
tive of a criminal's cell or self destruc
tion, as he brooded over the way In
which he had been spurned and cast
out by those who might havo loved
and honored him, tears rolled from
bis eyes again.
"Yes," he groaned, repeating Emma'B
words, "yes, I havo been paid In full,
aud I havo paid In full."
Then he grasped the revolver and
faced himself at the mirror again.
Thl tlmo his fingers were warm nnd
supple. Once more he raised It to life
temple. Onco moro palo fear obtained
the ascendency.
Thero was plenty of time. Why.
since bo was to die that night should
he bo In such a hurry? Men who
wero dying or who voro about to be
speeded Into eternity for transgres
sion of tho commandment that placed
a ban on murder generally prayed, or
prayers wero said for tbem. He had
not prayed since he could remember
What would happen after his leap
Into the unfathomable void? no had
always derided tho Idea that anything
would happen. Still, be did not know
He went to the clothes closet and
from among some books, mostly nov
els, heaped In disorder on a shelf, he
brought forth a Bible. It had be
longed to his aunt, and he had kept
It because it had looked well to have
one In evidence In the parlor and be
cause it was nicely bound In soft
leather. He opened the book at has
ard. Us pages divided at Eccleslastea,
and he begin to read. Though the
liquor was fast clouding bis brain he
became fascinated with the great Im
mortal masterpiece of pessimism, the
terrible monument of nrgatloa In
which humanity's everlasting wounds
are laid bare a ad bleeding,
1 nave seen all the works that are don
under the sun. and, behold, all Is vanity
nd vexation of spirit.
That which li crooked cannot be made
straight, and that which Is wanting can
not be numbered.
I communed with mine own heart, say
ing, Lo. I am como to great estate and
hnVn 0nttn mnr wMntti than all Ih.v
that have been before me In Jerusalem!
yea. my heart had great experience of
wisdom nnd knowledge.
And 1 gave my heart to know wisdom
and to know madness and folly. I per
ceived that this also Is vexation of spirit
For In much wisdom Is much gTlof, and
he that lncreaseth knowledge Increaseth
sorrow.
"That's right," ho assented, "thafa
dead right Nothing's worth while;
nothing matters."
What hath man of all his labor and of
tho vexation of his heart wherein he hath
labored under the sun7
For all his days are sorrows nnd his
travail grief yea, his heart taketh not
rest In the night. This Is also vanity.
The verses succeeded each other
with their recapitulation of the futility
of earthly things. Uls head became
There was the crash at a report
heavy and the letters Indistinct. He
began to have difficulty In grasping tho
meaning of the words.
That which bcfallcth the sons of men
befalleth beasts, even one thing befalleth
them; as the one illeth, so dleth the other;
yea, they havo all one breath, so that a
man hath no pre-eminence above a beast.
All is vanity.
All so unto ono place; all are of the
dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that
coeth upward and the spirit of tho beast
that goeth downward to tho earth?
A knock at the door roused him from
his somnolence, and he looked up with
bleared, bloodshot eyes.
He staggered to his feet smiling va
cantly, aud his groping hand lurched
toward the revolver. There was the
crash of a report. The apartment
house manager who had seen tho light
in tho window, apprising him of tho
tenant's presence, nnd had knocked to
Inquire about the overdue rent, ran
shouting for help.
When they forced the door they
found Brooks sprawling across the ta
ble beside the overturned liquor bottle.
no was dead, with a bullet in bis
brain.
TIIE EXD.
American Goods in China.
Noticeable among the foreign arti
cles in the shops at Shasl, China, ac
cording to a British . representative,
were German and American clocks
and watches; British, French and Ger
man medicines, provisions and wines;
British and German cutlery, nnd ev
erywhere the widely advertised British
and American clgarets.
Serfdom In Hungary.
In some parts of Hungary serfdom
of the old Russian typo still prevails.
Tho peasant Is dbllgcd to work fifty
days each year for his landlord with
out pay, the time to be cuosen by tho
latter, who Is almost sure to choose
the season when the poor man can
least afford to work for nothing. This
system led to an insurectlon In 1S98.
i
From the Cotton Machine.
Ell Whitney's cotton gin was re
sponsible for the Immense strides
taken by King Cottln.yet It baa been
asserted that this machine was but
tho practical application of an Idea
that found birth In the brain of tho
widow of General Nathaniel Greene of
revolutionary fame.
Increasing Use of Glass.
A noticeable increase In tho Imports
of glass at NabasakI, Japan, Is report
ed by tho British consul. It Is duo, he
says to the growing use by the Jap
anese of window glass for tho houses.
Most of it is fourth quality and Bel
glum is the chief source or supply.
Paving Roads With Straw.
The experiment of paving tho roads
with straw has been tried with suc
cess by the farmers of Western Amer
ica. Every autumn tho roads aro
covered with dust, which, after the
heavy rains, becomes thick mud, mak
ing travel hard for man and beast.
After straw had been laid on tho
main thoroughfares to a depth of a
foot or 'more traveling became' easy.
Wedding Superstitions.
The Canadian Pacific Hallway Com
pany is boasting that Is has accom
plished the feat of landing British
mails in Hongkong In 29 days from
the dispatch from London, or nearly
a week less than the previous records.
AND THIS WAS LOVE.
Great Drama Told In Just Two Thrill
ing Acts.
A young man and n young woman
loan over the front gate. They are
lovers. It Is moonlight Ho Is loth
to leave, as the pnrtlng Is tho last.
He Is about to go away. Sho Is re
luctant to seo him depart They swing
on the gate.
"I shall never forget you," he says,
and If death should claim mo, my
last thoughts will bo of you."
"I'll be true to you," she sobs. "I'll
never seo anybody elso or lovo them
as long as I live.!" They parted.
Six years later he returns. His
sweetheart of former yoars hns mar
ried. They meet at a party. She has
changed greatly: between the dances
the recognition takes place.
"Let mo see," she muses, with her
fan beating a tattoo on her pretty
hand, "was It you or your brother who
was my old sweetheart?"
"Beally, I don't know," ho says;
"probably my father!"
Inconsolable.
Tho surges crashed mournfully In
the darkness against the old pier.
"This blow," he said, "Is one from
which, alnB, I shall not recover. Nev
ermore will I look upon the face of
woman Bavo In bitterness nnd sor
row." Tho young girl, profoundly moved,
said in gentlo tones:
"Do not tako my refusal so to
heart, Mr. Mannerlng, Harold. There
are lots of nice girls left, I assure you.
I know one at the Surf house who
would suit you precisely. She Is pret
ty, amiable, clover "
"Has sho got any money?" ho In
terrupted.
Giving It Away.
"A woman Just can't keep a se
cret," he declared, opposing a state
ment.
"Oh, I don't know, contradicted tho
fluttery lady. "I've kept my ago a se
cret ever since I was twenty-four."
"les," ne replied, "out one or those
days you will give It away. In time
you will Just simply have to tell It"
"Well," sho replied with confidence,
"I think that when a woman has kept
a secret for twenty years she comes
pretty near knowing how to keep It"
How It Happened.
Lady Poor man! So you are Just
out of Jail?
Tramp Yes, mum. I was a victim
of fortune-tellers back in 'ninty-nlne.
Lady Indeed?
Tramp Yes, mum. The District
Attorney told mo where I'd ever been
and what I'd ever done during my
whole life, and the Judge predicted
where I would be for the next ten
years.
RECOMMENDATION,
"Nope; I can't take you back after
having onco discharged you."
"But the baseball season Is over
now, boss!"
Not Room Enough.
While riding on an electric car, dur
ing his first visit to the city, a farmer
passed the yard of n monument com
pany, where gravestones and monu
ments were displayed. Turning to his
host, he remarked In an awe-stricken
voice: "They dew bury 'em closo In
the city, don't they?"
"Nlco dog, that," said the customer.
"He Is, sir," said tho barber.
"He seems very fond of watching
you cut hair."
"It ain't that sir," explained tho
barber, smiling. "Soraotlmes I make
a mistake and take a little piece off
a customer's ear."
Somewhat Cheaper.
"Is It so, that you used to call regu
larly on that girl?"
"Yes; she always sang "a song to
me that I loved."
"Why didn't you marry her?"
"I found I could buy the song for
50 cents."
"Gentlemen of tho jury," said the
prosecuting barrister, "this prisoner
la an unmitigated scoundrel; he ac
knowledges It And yet, thanks to
the wisdom of tho common law, he
has been given a fair trial by a jury
of his peers."
A Memento of the Departed.
"1 suppose you carry a memento of
some sort In that locket of yours?"
"Yes; It Is a lock of my husband's
hair."
"But your husband Is still alive!"
"Yes, but his hair is all gone."
His Indifference.
"What's your position in this polar
eontroversyT"
-My position is that I ain't a-going
to buy either soak."
