Banker Ankony propose to Barbata Hem
Jngia whose brother Dan was In his
mploy Dan was one of the town s pop-
ular 0ung men lie showed some nerv-
ousness when Attomoy Tom Twining told
Mm Barbara refused Ankony Ankony
the following day summoning Twining
etnae < l Don of looting the bank Twin-
ing refused to prosepute
CHAPTER II Continued
He stole the money he brokeTn
Yea I know ho did Im not exon
crating blm Im not trying to It was
crime and I recognize It of course
and your right to prosecute iC you are
so determined But put yourself In
tils place It you can Ho Is simply
prodigal In his kindness There are
more people In town today who have
been buoyed up and brightened by
him than by any other man old or
young Maybe he did take your money
to help do It But as much as he ever
expected to do anything he expected
to pay It all back He stinted himself
It was only with others he was gen
erous And then his sister he wanted
to make things easy for her if he
could He was ashamed to admit that
lie couldnt keep It up FoollshT Of
course It was foolish I3ut you ad-
mire him a little for trying to carry
Ills end of the Hemlngray string as it
tad always been kept up dont you
You see what It has already cost him
Dont make It cost bin everything
hes got Olve htm another chance
Ho II redeem himself Youll see Try
lilm
You ask loo much
Toi much I only ask what youve
done or fellows that were rascals and
deep dyed culprits Surely you can
give him the leniency you gave them
As for the bad Influence there wont
lie any as you must admit since no
one knows1 of It nor will know of It
if you do as I ask Let the boy go
Ankony
I cant
IlubblBh vWHl you <
lwlll not Mr Twlnlngrl must pro-
ceed With the prosecution
I pulled myself In hand with a
strong effort
If I did what I want to doId throt-
tle you Ankony I said and I went
out and shut the door between him
and my rage which was becoming un-
governable
I spent the rest of the morning In
a determined effort to And something
to change the course of events and
save Dan But all my determination
and eagerness went for nothing There
was absolutely nothing I could lay
hands upon Ankony was Inexorable
and vindictive And no help could
come outside of Ankony There was
no further appeal to be made to him
As 1 was leaving the office on a
furthersearch which I admitted even
as I undertook It promised nothing I-
ran face to ace with Barbara In the
hallway A glance at her showed
me that she knew She had smiled
through losses and bereavement and
rain but she was not smiling now
The Hemlngrays knew how to meet
vicissitude but not dishonor Shame
had burned the brightness from her
eyes and seared dry that deeper well
of cheer In her brave heart
She looked at me dimly as If in
that acute moment I did not enter In
and she could not concentrate her
half paralyzed faculties upon me It
was startling to see her so Her face
without a smile smote me An agony
of longing to do something say some-
thing offer something of help was
upon me but I felt its futility What
could I do with bound hands
I bowed to her and moved on to
my further office At the door how-
ever I turned to look after her and
was astonished to see her pause before
Ankonys office Then I understood
She was going to Intercedo for Dan
Ab the comprehension swept over me
I called to her I would not have her
humiliate herself uselessly But she
did not hear me and passed in and I
told myself that perhaps after all
ehe might move hmj certainly any
man but Ank ony was a monster not
a man His pride was always keener
than his emotion and his pride os
smarting
I left my door open to be ready it
there hould be anything I could jdo
forjier but when she came down the
halT Ankony was with her He was
all deference and attention radiating
satisfaction and triumph Yet Bar-
bara was smiling not the old smile
to be sure but as If la tremendous re
lief and the despair had faded from
her eyosN whlle her head was lifted
with the old proud poise and her step
was not leaden as it bad been when
she passed down the hall
Perhaps your brother might like

to go to join my brother Jack for a-
while Ankony was saying as they
passed my door The company rath-
er needs him out there and he might
find the change pleasant
So she had gained Dans freedom
his one more chance
I went out to tramp and settle my
nerves I needed to readjust myself
to the situation When I came back
I found my resignation which I had
sent to Ankony seveial hours earlier
lying on my desk It had been re-
turned to me with a note from him
saying the company refused to con
elder It as the reason for my urging
it had been removed and It was there-
fore hoped that our former relations
might continue
I toro the note and the resignation
across
So much for the charm and the
persuasive powers of a woman I
muttered No man Is adamant
CHAPTER III
Felicitate mo commanded lira
Jack Ankony the next day as the
brought her cart up to the curb and
leaned down to me with a smile of
complete satisfaction
Gladly If you will give me a new
reason for It I replied There are
> 1
Dont you think I fiayea right o be
I had Just strengthto stoop and pat
the head of a ridiculous spaniel that
sprang out of the cart and frisked
about my feet iM
Are you surprised she chal-
lenged fW
I continued to fondle the spaniel
Im never surprised at anything
Mrs Ankony ji jj5
Oh how Hkeajvery old person
that sounds ti jf
I am old very oldMn experience
Mrs Ankony nodded ready assent
So I should havojsald Mr Twining
but you are alsojeryScljever
I sto6d up wlthlStfegovered equll
lbrlum jt > y
What a pleasantjexchango of com-
pliments I observed
D6 you know she remarked
thoughtfully It seems rather a pity
we should have known each other so
slightly Mr Twining I believe we
have each missed something by It
The loss I am sure is all mine and
I have often regretted It Is It do
you think too late toremedy so la-
mentable a matter I inquired trying
to rise to the situation as a half-
hearted fish rises ioUhe fly
It Is Just possible we may see
more of each oth rinow since my
brother is very fond of having his
friends about him and as you are one
of his wifes dear me how proma
ture I am but then one is certain
there will be no slip here and that
she will be his wife on of Miss
Hemlngrays greatest ftrends you
are arent you < i
She has none better I replied
Yes so I thought and of course
Edward will wish her to continue to
see her old acquaintances and friends
Just as before so I dare say we may
often meet
I writhed Inwardly beneath her pret-
ty patronage and Understood In a
Do Believe You Like
so many well known ones but I have
heard of nothingnew What Is It
Flatterer But really dont you
know Havent you heard Am 1
actually to be the news bearer
I know nothing I assure you 1
never hear things Mrs Ankony until
everyobdy else has heard them Do
take pity on me wont you
But I sypposed you would have
heard you of all people not °
knowf Why Its In all the papers
That Is Its going to be tonight
But 1 am not the seventh daughter
of the seventh daughter you know 1
cant read the future nor the papers
till they come out
She made a funny little mouth It
you tease me MrrTwinlng perhaps I
shant tell you
Oh but you will I smiled noth
Ing could keep you from it
Frankly nothing
could
she
laughingly admitted
Then tell me do I begged
She leaned down to me composing
her face from merriment to tranquil

But In the meantime she contin-
ued pleasantly I hopeyou wlll come
to see Cecelia and me Goodliy Re-
member we shall expectyou She
gathered up the reins and then
thought better of leaving me to find
my way afoot lip the ayenue
Why not let me glvo you a lift

Thank you but I nnOeaylng the

when be found we had no good mount
In our stable I never ride you know
what does he do but Insist upon
bringing her one of his Splendid
fellow
The mount I inquired
And the bishop she smiled back
at me Now If you will you may
hand my dog up I almost forgot him
In the excitement of the minute
I chased him over the grass and
captured blm finally tongue out
Poor dear you must forgive htm
the exercise he made you take He
is so playful He doesn t know how
tiresome playfulness Is
X handed him up with a caress I
was remembering the turn ho had
served me
I do believe you like him she de-
clared
I do But I am killing a little time
If I must acknowledge the truth I am
waiting to see the bishop and Miss
Streeter go by How slowly they
come They look well together dont
they she murmured critically
The ensemble Is perfect I said
How quaint you are she laughed
We turned with smiles and bows to
the bishop and his companion They
were Indeed Imposing The Slstlne
bowed guardedly as It she feared to
disarrange her halo and the bishop
beamed a little guiltily It seemed to-
me Later I found It to be another
case of the mouse and the absent cat
Mrs Ankony whirled along In the
opposite direction after they had gone
and In a blur of emotions I hurried
down the avenue not sure where I
meant to bring up but presently find-
ing myself ascending the Wlnstanley
steps I was not clearly conscious of
my reason for wanting to see Henri
etta Wlnstanley Just then except that
she always clarified things for me
and certainly they had never needed
It worse than now
To my great disappointment I found
that she had gone out of town to Join
an Invalid friend and that her return
and destination were not known at
home depending as they did upon the
caprice of the friend Her servant
thought It probable however that she
would not be back In town tor se
weeks perhaps a month
I turned from her door In the deep-
est regret but my tumbling thoughts
had already begun to Bteady them-
selves Into apmcthlng resembling
calm and I saw things a little more
clearly One thing I perceived with
startling clearness and that wasthat
Barbara had given herself for Dans
liberty and good name
What ft meant to her drove away
for the moment all thought of what It
meant to me but later myown rebel
lion arose and rioted to no end It
was Indeed the hopelessness of It all
that smote me from the beginning I
felt like a paralyzed man In a fire
But he listens for the sound of his
rescuers and for me there could be
no help There had been but one way
to Bave Dan a way so hideous It had
not even suggested Itself to me but
Barbara loving him as she did and
determined to save him had thought
of It at once and had not hesitated to
take It monstrous as It was In Its
cruelty
That Dan could accept so high a
price of her astonished roe but I
knew that she dominated him In the
affairs of their everyday life and I
could understand that sick as he was
with despair and remorse he would
yield to her fierce persuasion with-
out at first realizing Just what she
was offering for his honor
TO BE CONTINUED
Difficult to Do-
A teacher In one of Brooklyns pub-
lic schools Is a stickler for cleanli-
ness So often have orders come that
cleanliness must be observed among
the boys of her class that some of
the urchins have even Inquired of
their parents what It means to mani-
cure your finger nails
Of course there Is a bad boy In
the class One day the teacher Bald
to him Tommy do you know there
Is a great deal of dirt behind your
earsThere
There aint neither sassed
Tommy
It is wrong to dispute me said
the teacher but you need not take
my word for It If you really do not
believe me look for yourself
The Height of Praise
The limit of praise for food was
reached the other day In the Sixth
avenue restaurant In New York
where the old fashioned confidential
waiters are still to be found A man
Well known to the place came in very
late at night tor supper and asked the
man who had taken his order for
years Whats good to day Ill
toll you sir was the reply weve
Just got some clams In fresh from the
water and this In a whisper I dont
mind telling you sir theyre so good
the waiters are eating em them-
selves
Point Sometimes Overlooked
De man dat squeezes a dollar too
hard said Uncle Ebeiv is liable to
lose his grlp pn de coin an have sore
lingers besides
The chief assot of humaulty is the
conviction that the game Is worth-
while To lose that would mean uni-
versal bankruptcy ColtleYs

rate brain A prominent banker oC

self In condition
Up to 17 yedrs of age I was not
allowed to drink coffee but as soon aa
I got out In the world I began to use
It and grew very fond of it For soma
years I noticed no bad effects from lta
use but in time it began to affect ma
unfavorably My hands trembled the
muscles of my face twitched my men-
tal processes seemed slow and In other
ways my system got out of order
These conditions grew bo bad at last
that I had to give up coffee altogether
My attention having been drawn to
Postum I began its use on leaving oft
the coffee and It gives me pleasurolto
testify to its value I find it a delicious
beverage like it Just as well as I did
jcoffee and during the years that I
have used Postum I have been free
from the distressing symptoms that ac
companled the use of coffee The nerv-
ousness has entirely disappeared and
l am as steady bf hand as a boy of
25 though I am more than 92 years
