his lips:
"Tlio cbllders will be stnrvln!"
"Oh I cannot stand this" Grace
cried starting up. "Hero lira. O'Flynn

Sho was about to run out when the

claimed l'nt. and bis cry was Joined by

Grace stole away followed by Katie
whose young heart was light again.
Graco left her with Mrs. Harding who
wns very thankful for tho timely nolp.
"Harry! dear Harry! there sit still In
your chair. Let me bo nt your feet
Can you forglvo your unworthy littlo

"Why Graco child what do you

"Harry I don't want Hint monoy. I
only want to bo worthy of my noble
and just husband. I want to help you
in nil your good nets not retard them.
I kuow now why 1 could not have tho

quet) I will keep it forever to remind
mo of my naughtiness that day."
"No no dear wife: only as a remind-
er of your husband's lovo" Harry said
caressing her.
"Oh Harry l'vo heard blessings
enough on you to-day and almost
curses on another. I would not wear
that cross" of Mnnolto's for nil the world.
How much suffering how many tears

it is a heavy heavy cross sho wears!"
Grace said.
"Yes dear if I had given you what I
wished so much my men somo of
them would havo gono unpaid. I was
only just my wife."
"And I was just a spoiled child as
you said. Hut now my husband I am
going to try to bo a truo woman" Grace
answered.
"That's my oivn darling my precious
wife. I havo been rather despondent
for a few days but with your dear help
I think we'll stem tho tiilo at any rate
we will do tno vory best we can. And
If my littlo wifo has fewer diamonds
she will have more blessings" Harry
said Mi oyes tilled with moro than ad-

"Worst thing in the world for woak
oyes young woman."
Tho young woman looked tin from
the magazine In her lap and smiled nt
her gray bearded mentor on tlio optio-
elto sldo or-lho street car. Sho smiled
with her whole face dimpled chin rod
cheeks full lips; oven tho eyes behind
tho couvox glasses of her pinec net
twinkled.
"Thank you" sho said shutting the
book softly "I know It 1 was merely
glancing nt tho pictures."
Then sho turned her amused glnnco
toward tho front part of tho car and
met tlio eyes of the driver staring
strnlght at her. His faco lighted up
when her glanco met his ami with his
rough glovo ho patted the left sldo of
Ills coat ns though it shielded some-
thing which concerned her.
The car wns one of those little
wheeled boxes locally known as tho
'Totind Gap Hob-tails" which ply bo-
tween Cincinnati Ohio and its Ken-
tucky suburb. Newport Tlio driver

the mules his passengers and the small
boys who everywhere mark bob-tall
cars for their own was muOled to the
mouth In an old oilskin coat belted at
the waist with a leather strap. His
cap was pulled down to shield Ids fnco
from tho rnln. Into the tocth of which
he was forced to drlre and when ho
entered the car to collect tho fares his
heavy cowhldo boots completed a gro-
tcsquo picture which would havo at-
tracted attention orcn in Castle Garden.
Evidently ho cared less for stylo than
for comiort
"What is tho fare to Newport?"
"Ten cents please."
I started at the musical voice and
looked at the man closely.
"Wh-a-tP" I said "not Ferguson of
the OaxeKeJ"
"Same party dear boy same party."
He laughed in tho 'honest whole-
souled way that I know so well rang
the bell of his punch twice smiled nt
tbo pretty girl who seemed to enjoy my
surprise and then clattered out to his
Jilace at tho brake where I presently
olncd him.
"This is rough Ferguson deuced
rough $12 a week and seventeen hours
a day! Can't you do better than thlsP"
"Classical occupation dear boy. One
of tho children of Greek imthnlogy juu
will remember aspired lotlrivo a car -bis

"It was noUiit'ccsnry for him to muko
a guy of hlnnolf In cowhldo boots. That
girl inBide is laughing nt jou.'
"I know It She always docs when
sho rides with me."
He looked through tlio glai door nf
tho car and ngnln patted tho side of his
coat when ho met tho young woman's
eye. The gesture soetne'd to please tier.
"Another case uf tho maiden and tho
coachman" remarked Ferguson as he
slowed up to tako on n passenger. Evi-
dently ho bad lost none of his high
spirits slnco ho hnd drilled out of
journalism into street car service.
"But seriously now don't you know
berP"
"No I cannot say that I do" I said
severely.
That's Virginia."
1 looked again at tho girl. She was
as charming a specimen of yomig
womanhood as is often mot with oven

Infantile cheeks and dimpled chin
toned down the severity of her oyo-
f lasses and from the brown plume in
ler hat to tbo nartow too of her shoo

"stylish." I)u Mnuricr might hare
copiod her iwso for that of ouo of his
high-bred women.
"Yes sir that's Virginia. You havo
laughed at my verses to her for thrco
years and if we drop all tho passengers
before tho end of the routo Is reached I
will tako you Inside and present you.
Sbo knows you by name already. I
have talked with her about you a hun-
dred times. She likes that littlo story
of yours The Crulso of 'tbo Mermaid'
immensely and always looks up your
column tbo first thing in the Clarion."
Then be seemed to drift into another
line of thought
"Yes sir It is rough" ho satd;
"eighteen hours a day seven days in
the week Is too many hours tor a man
to work; but thank God I am dono!
This Is my last trip. ' I hare something
bore" he tapped tbo left sldo of his
oilskin coat again "which has put mo
on my feet Virginia and I had sercral
blocks alone together this morning
and she knows That's what wo aro so
gay about You remember that 'Dia-
mond DollarP"
Did I remember HP It was that
"Diamond Dollar" that cost Ferguson
bis desk on the Uazctle. Not more than
two months ago ho was a dapper well
dressed and apparently as successful a
roan as there was In tlio Cincinnati ro-
portorlal fraternity. His duty was the
corerlng of tho news along tho river
fronts of the Kentucky towns facing
and aboro Cincinnati and being a
graceful writer he managed to got in n
column or two of breezy seclal matter
on miscellaneous subject each week
every column of such matter being a
clean addition of $5 to his princely
salary.
It was nine o'clock ono Thursday
night when word camo over the tele-
phono wires from tlio fire chieftain's
ofilco that the towboat "Greyhound"
was burning at her landing throo miles
abore Newport. In fifteen minutes
came the supplementary rcpoil that her
entire tow of seven barges was doomed
and that John Stacey and "Stumpy"
the cook wero missing presumably
burned with tho wreck.
"Ferguson can havo two columns for
that" complacently remarked tho city
editor "Hero Nowport got a rlgi
iump out there; find lerguson and help
ilm. Get In ns much as posslblo bo-
fore twelve and. If It promises good
matter after that wlro the facts. We
will dress them up."
At balf-past twclvo o'clock I was
again at tbo offico with the skeleton
article. Tbo firo bad taken place early
In the afternoon. Throe lives and $63-
000 worth of property were lost 1 had
seen nothing of Forgusou.
But whllo I was making a hasty oral
report to this effect Ferguson strolled
into the office. Ho was ut noacn with
himself and tho world and his stiff.
white collar lifted itself Immaculatoly
above his black tlo and unruffled shirt

"Nothing moving" ho said airily as
ho placed tho day's report on the edi-
tor a desk. Everything dead along

"No lights nor HrosP'' asked the city
eojior in uis oianuest tones:

"Nothing of imiHirtance."
11 V this tlmo tho tclccranli man. tho
managing editor half of the local forco.
ann even ono or two ot tuo urovier
writers had drlfUwl Into tho city room
whero they filiated about aimlessly wait-
ing for the ciploslon that was to lift the
unfortunate rerguson. Hut stipectlng
nothing bo coiitlniied his panegjrlo on
tho diamond dollar.
"Unless you call this piece of siicclal

mium. There Is ono dollar of llio mint-
ago of 1801 which Is worth .?."U0.
For Hio past few seconds tho city edi-
tor had been rapidly writing upon a
slip of paper nnd hern ho interrupted
the enthusiastic remarks about tho val
uable dollar.
"Yon know tho mlo of the office. Mr.
Ferguson" ho said in an icy tone; "no
man with us gets n chance to bo grossly
scooped twice. You havo failed to
catch one of tho most sensational tires
of tho year although you had twelvo
hours in which to do it Hero is an
order on tho counting room for your
money up to&aturnay ntgiit Xou havo
my best wishes for your future. Good
night!"
That was how lie lost his desk on tho
Gazette and breezy writer that ho was
in three months hu'had found It neces
sary to tako up tlio life of a street-car
conductor or starve.
Ion remember that diamond dol
lar?" ho said ngnln nfler answering the
sharp clang of the bell abovo bis uead
by bringing tlio car to a stop long
enough for tlio gray-bearded talker to
alight; "well curiously enough 1 havo
found ono of them. I should never
iiave known its value had I nut collect-
ed the data for that iiufortiinnto article

"Do you mean me to understand that

He had iinhurkled his licit unbut-
toned ids coat mid with some difficulty
brought out in his gloved lingers n worn
silver dollar without tho milled edges
which characterize llio lato issues of the
coin. He wns singularly excited. He
.ooked at tho plceoof silver as a doomed
man mignt iook at an unoxpccieu re-
prieve. It meant another start In life
a chance to build ui wealth and repu
tation on a Journal of his own; it meant

trombled slightly with tho tumult of his
thoughts. One of the car's front wheels
struck a stone jumped the track and
for n few seconds tho vehlclo jolted vio-
lently over tho cobblctonos.
Ferguson's face suddenly turned to
the color of ashes Ho leaped over tho
dashboard surrounding tho platform
groped in the mud under the car wheels
and then wilh his Hps sot tightly to-
gether handed inn a battered and bout
piece of sliver.
It was a diamond dollar.
It bad flipped from tils uncertain
grasp nnd tho sharp llangcs of the car
wheels had ground the dato and figures
from its faco and bent It almost out of
resemblance of n coin.
Then rcrtruson look up tho lines
again and from his picsout prospects
tlio peoplo who rido behind him will
continue to laugh at his odd dress and
nssoclato him in their minds with the

years to come.

Her name was Estelle and she waa
an actress of very minor parts Adolphe
was far aboro nor In their profession
well paid well thought of and very
bandsomo.
Adolphe brought her flowers and
walked with ber to rehearsal and offers

such happiness to bo erictiial and

Kstelle lived nlono III a little room
idi't'thu fiivi'S of a littlo frunie house.
Sho tiKik her meals with n dragon of nn
oltl woman who owned the plnco anil
charged los than onu would where
boarders fared bettor.
So the winter pas.ed nnd tho spring
came and then llio hot days of sum-
mer. Tlio theatre was lo bo closed for
repairs and iiupinieinclits and tho com-
pany wns to bn dlslmuilcd; only twelve
nignts mora ni mo "women uooso
and then thnsit who could or would

say that sho would "give hundreds of
lullars lor that little creature s hair"
Hers was tlio same color but whose
chlcnou sho sported nouno know.
Ono night Adolnho had escorted Es-
tcllo homo from tlio theater and they
parted at llio door If I said he did not
kiss her I should tell n story nnd an
hour nflerwaid snmn onu wns heard
groaning near tlio house. Estcllo knew
who it was by instinct and tho land-
lady's half-grown sons went out wllh
ner nnu inteu tuo prostrate iorm irom
the pavement tlio landlady protesting
all tho while.
"It is a friend of mine" cried Eslello;
'a gentleman from tho theater. Ho Is
not poor: ha will pay you well. Do
tako film in!" So tlio woman yielded
and n doctor was sent for nnd tho poor
bleeding senseless soul cared for as
well ns might be.
llobbcrs had set ttnoit him and taken
from blm a largo sum of monoy Ills
watch nnd ring nnd all olso valuablo
that ho had nbotit him. Thoy had
broken bis leg ami cut bis head open
In the scufile besides nnd It wns a long
wbilo before ho could tell much about
it Then ho confided to Estollo this fact:
Ho bad not been remarkably prudent or
remarkably economical. Ills funds for
summer expenditure wore In tho pur-
loined pockcUbook. Ho bad just $."0
in the world.
foor Estcllo had $20. and just then
tho theater closed. The manager flit-
ted to somo seaside resting-place. Thcro
was no one to call upon nothing to do
but wait nnd hope. Instead ot passing
a pleasant month In tho country sho
helped to nurse Adolphe who was in
torribio danger nnd ns hopeless as a
helpless man always Is The $50 went
Estello's $20 followed it She had paid
her own board in advance Now bolh
their pockets were empty. Sho had said
nothing of her own money to Adolphe
and tbo landlady never usked whence
It camo. Hut tho day arrived when tlio
woman stood with her arms akimbo bo-
fore the anxious girl nnd asked her how
sho dared assure her that her bill was
safe.
"Ho hasn't a penny!" sho shrieked;
"not a penny! 'ilui thieves took nil ho
had besides what has licen spent. So
ho tells mo. And to the hospltnl he shall
go to-morrow. I've told the doctor
mat"
Estcllo went up lo her own room and
knelt down by her bed and wept
"I'll tlo It." she said "I'll do Itl
Anything sooner than that ho should
suficr so."
And twisting the hair in n croat coll.
sho put on her hat and cloak and hur
ried out into the street and straight to
tho St hotel wheru sho know the
leading lady of tho coming season bad
her headquarters.
"Madame" sho said "toil have often
said to me that you wished you had my

yon glvo mo $70 I will crop It close to

"Havo you gouo crazy?" nsked mad-
nnie. "No." said Estcllo. "1 want monor

"It's a horribio temptation" said
madamo. "Fifty! Why I'll givo you
a hundred for it. Such hair cnu't be

No" said Estelle white us death.
'Cut it then." said madamc. and
emptied her purse into her lap.

Estelle meanwhile had bidden him
good-by In the dusk of n still evening
and taken her cropped head to tho
country.
alio also rcturiicu on me uay oi tno

entrance of tho theater and met Adol-

Sho shook her head.
"What has happened to your hair?"
he asked in a lower voice though the

"I cut it otr" said Estcllo again.
"You've mado n fright of yourself"
said Adolphe more candidly than po-
litely. "The devil must havo tomptod
you to get rid of your own beauty.
Such hair as yours Great heaven!"
Estollo threw bis hand from her and
ran away. Adolphe stood atarlng nftor
her and then and thcro llio leading lady
caught him by the arm.
"She sold it to me" said tho lady "I
