THE QUICKENING
FRANCIS
Coprrtflit, 1906,
CH AFTER XXL
Thomas Jefferson Gordon, Bachelor
ef Science, and one of the six prlse-
men In his class, was expected home
on the first day of July; and It was re
marked as a coincidence by the curious
that Deer Trace manor-house was
closed for the summer no more than a
week before the return of the Gordon
black sheep.
That Tom was a black sheep, a hope-
less and Incorrigible social Iconoclast,
was no longer a matter of doubt In the
minds of any. Something; maj' bo for
given a promising- young man who has
been unhappy enough, or Imprudent
enough, to begin to make history for
himself In the Irresponsible 'teens; but
also the act of oblivion may be repeal
ed. When it became noised about that
there were two children Instead of one
In the old dog-keeper's cabin In the
glen, Mountain View avenue was Justly
Indignant, and even the lenient Gor
don lans scowled and shook their heads
at the mention of the young boss'
name.
To such an atmosphere of potential
social ostracism Tom returned after the
final scholastic triumph In Boston; and
for the first few days he escaped as
phyxiation chiefly because the affairs
ef Gordon & Gordon and the Chlawaa
see Consolidated gave him no time to
test Its quality.
But after the first week he began to
breathe It unmistakably. One evening
he called on the Farnsworths; the la
dies were not at home to him. The
next night he saddled Paladin and rode
over to Falrmount; the Misses Harri
son were also unable to see him, and
the butler conveyed a deftly-worded in
timation pointing to future invisibilities
on the part of his mistress. The even
ing being still young, Tom tried Rock
wood and the Dell, suspicion settling
into conviction when the trim maid
servant at the Stanley villa went near
to shutting the door In his face. At the
Dell he fared a little better. The
Toung-Dlcksons were going out for an
after-dinner call on one of the neigh
bors, and Tom met them at the gate as
he was dismounting. There were re
grets apparently hearty; but In recast
ing the incident later, Tom remembered
that It was the husband who did the
talking, and that Mrs. Young-Dickson
stood In the shadow of the gate tree,
frigidly silent and with ber face avert
ed. 'Once more, old boy, and then we'll
quit," he said to Saladln at the re
mounting, and the final rein-drawing
was at the stone-pillared gates of Rook
Hill. Again the ladles were not tvt
home, but Mr. Vancourt Hennlker camu
out and smoked a cigar with his cus
tomer on the piazza. The talk was
pointedly Of business, and the banker
was urbanely gracious and mildly In
quisitive. Would there be a consolida
tion of the allied iron Industries of Gor-
donla when the Farleys should return?
Mr. Hennlker thought It would be un
deniably profitable to all concerned,
and offered his services as financiering
promoter and Intermediary. Would Mr.
Gordon come and talk It over with him
at the bank?
Tom found his father on the pictur
esque veranda at Woodlawn when he
reached home. For a time there waa
such silence as stands for communion
between men of one blood, and was the
father who first broke it
"Keen out callln', son?" he asked,
marking the Tuxedo and the white ex
panse of shirt front
"No, I reckon not" was the reply,
punctuated by a short laugh. "The ave
nue seems to be depopulated."
"So? I hadn't heard of anybody go
In' away," said Caleb the literal.
"Nor I." said Tom, curtly; and the
conversation paused until the iron
master said:
"Ardee thinks a heap o' you, and If
you ctmld jest 've made out to keep
from gettln' so tangled with that gal o'
Tike " he stopped abruptly, but not
quite soon enough, and the word was
as the flick of a whip on a wound al
ready made raw by the abrasion of the
closed doors.
"So that miserable story has ot
around to you at last has ItT said
Tom, In fine scorn. "I did hope they'd
spare you and mother.
"She's spared yet, so far La I know,'
said the father, with a backward nod
to indicate the antecedent of the pro
noun. Following which, he said what
lay uppermost in hit mind. "I been al
lowin' maybe you'd come back this time
with your head sot on lettln' that gal
alone, son."
"You've believed all you've heard
have you? condemned me before
could say a word In my own defense?
That's what they've all done."
"I don't say thot son." Then, with a
note of fatherly yearning In his voice:
"I'm waltln' to hear that word right
now, Buddy or as much of it as
can say honestly."
"You'll never hear it from me nevar
In this world or another. Now tell me
who told youl"
"Why, it's in mighty near everybody's
mouth, son!" said Caleb, In mild aur
prise. "You certaln'y didn't take any
pains to cover It up."
"Didn't take any pains? Whj should
I?" Tom buret out After wfllch he
tramped heavily to the farther end of
tho veranda, Kluomlnn over at the
darkened windows of Deer Trace and
letting bitter angt'r and disappointment
work tliclr will on him. And when he
finally turned and tramped back It was
only to say an abrupt "Good-night,"
and to puss into the house and up to
hlni room.

fierce contempt for all the hypocrites,
conscious and subconscious.
And. now with Alecto's
maddening finger prensed on tho soul
hurt, no man is responsible. After the
furious storm of upbubbllng curses had
spent Itself there was a little calm, not
of surcease but of vncuity, since even
the cursing vocabulary has Its limita
tions. Then a grouping of words long
forgotten arrayed Itself before him,
like tho handwriting on the wall of
Belahazzer's banqueting halt
"When the unclean spirit Is gone out
of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and flndeth none.
Then he salth, I will return Into my

and taketh with himself seven other
spirits more wicked than himself, and

He put his hands before his fare to
shut out the sight of the words. Far
ther on. he felt his way across the
room to stand at the window where he
could look across to the gray, shadowy
bulk of the manor-house, to the hou.ie
and to the window of the upper room
which was Ardea's.
"They've got me down." he whisper
ed, as If the words might reach her

CHAPTER XXII.
During the first half of the year 1894,
with Norman too busy at the nln
foundry to worry him, and the iron
master president too deeply engrossed
In matters mechanical, Mr. Henry
Dyckman, still bookkeeper and cashier
for Chlawassee Consolidated, had fewer
nlKhtmares; and by the time he had
been a month In undisputed commnnri
at the general office he had given over
searcntng ror a certain packet of pa
pers which, had mysteriously disap
peared from a secret compartment in
his desk.
Later, when the time for the return
of the younger Gordon drew near, thero
was encouraging news from Europe.
Dyckman had not failed to keep thd
malls warm with reports of the Gordon
& Gordon success; with urgings f,,r
the return of the exiled dynasty; an. I
late In May he had news of tho home
coming Intention. From that on there
were alternating chills and fever. If
Colonel Duxbury should arrive and re
sume the reins of management before
Tom Gordon should reappear, nil might
yet be well. If not tho alternutlvo
Impaired the bookkeeper's appetite, and
there were hot nights In June when he
slept badly.
When Tom's advent preceded the
earliest date named by Mr. Fnrley by a
broad fortnight or more, the bookkeep
er missed other of his meals, and ono
night fear and a sharp premonition of
close-prcHsing disaster laid cold handa
on him; and 9 o'clock found hlni skulk
ing In the great train shed at the rail
way station, a ticket to Canada In his
pocket, a goodly sunt of tho company's
money tightly buckled In a safety-belt
next to lilsskln all things ready for
flight save one, the courage requisite
to tho final step-taking.
The following morning the prominl-
tlon became a certainty. In the Gor-
donla mall there was a note from tho
younger Gordon, directing him to come
to the office of the pipe foundry, bring
ing the cash-book and ledger for a year
whose number was written out In let
ters of Are in the bookkeeper's brain.
He went, again lacking the courage
either to refuse or to disappear, and
found Gordon waiting for him. There
were no preliminaries.
Good-morning, Dyckman," said the
tyrant, pushing aside the papers on nls
desk. "You have brought the books?
Sit down at that table and open the
ledger at the company's expense ac
count for the year. I wish to make a
few comparisons," and he took a thick
packet of papers from a pigeonhole ;t
the small iron safe behind his chair.
Dyckman was unbuckling the shawl
strap In which he had carried the two
heavy books, but at the significant
command he doelsted, went swiftly to
the door opening Into the stenograph
er's room, satisfied himself that thero
were no listeners, and resumed his
chair.
"You have cut out some of the pre
face, Mr. Gordon; I'll cut out the re
mainder," he said, moistening his dry
Hps. "You have the true record of tho
expense account in that package. I'm
down and out; what is It you want?"
"I want a written confession of Just
what you did, and what you did it for,
was the direct reply. "You'll And Miss
Ackerman's typewriter In the other
room; I'll wait while you put It In
type."
"You're not giving me a show, Mr.
Gordon; the poor show a common mur
derer would have In any court of law.
You are asking me to convict myself."
Goldon held up tho packet of pupers.
"Here Is your conviction, Mr. Dyck
man the original leaves taken from
those books when you had them in
bound. I need your statement of the
facts for quite another purpose."
And if I refusM to make It? A cor
nered rat will light for his life. Mr.
Gordon."
"If you refuse I shall be reluctantly
compelled to hand these papers over to
our attorneys reluctantly, I say, ht-
cause you can serve m butter Just n jt
out of Jail thun In It."
"It's an unfair advantage you're tak
ing; at thu worst I am only an acres
sory. My principals will be here In i
few days, and "
"Precisely," was tho cold rejoinder
"It is bec.uiso your priueipals are com
ing home, and because they are not yrt
here, thut I vtunt your statement,
Oblige me, if you please; my time is
limited this morning."
There was no help for It, or none ap
parent to the fear-stricken; and for
the twenty succeeding minutes the
typewriter clicked monotously In the
small ante-room. Dyckman could heir
his persecutor pacing the floor of the
private office, and once be found him
self looking about hlni ror a weapon.
But at the end of the writing Interval
he was handing the freshly-typed sheet
to a man who waa yet alive and un
hurt.
Gordon tat down at bis desk to read
It. and analn the roving eyes of the
bookkeeper swept the Interior of tho
larger rooms for the means to an end;
aoiiKht and found not.
The eye-search was not fully con
rludod when Oordon pressed the electric-button
which summoned the young
man who kept the local books of the
Chlawasseo pliint across the way. While
he waited ho saw the conclusion of the
eye-search and smiled rather grimly.
"You'll not And It. Dyckman." he
said, divining the desperate purpose of
the other; adding, as an a fter-though'.:
"and if you should, you wouldn't have
the courage to uso It. That Is the fa
tal lack In your make-up. It Is what
kept you from taking the train last
night with the money belt which you
emptied this morning. You'll never
make a successful criminal; It takes a
good deal more nerve than It does to bo
an honest man,"
Hereupon the young man from the
office across the pike came In, and
Gordon handed a pen to Dyckman.
"I want you to witness Mr. Dyck
man's signature to this paper, Dlllard,"
he snld, folding the confession so that
it could not be read by the witness;
and when tho thing was done, the
young niun appended his notarial at
testation and went back to his duties.
"Well?" said Dyckman, when they
were once more alone together.
"That's all," said Gordon, curUy. "As
long as you are discreet, you needn't
lose any sleep over this. If you don't
mind hurrying a little, you can make
the 10:40 back to town."
Dyckman restrapped his books and
made a show of hastening. But before
he closed the office door behind him he
had seen Oordon place the typewritten
sheet, neatly folded, on top of the thick
packet, snapping an elastic band over
the whole and returning It to Its pig.

George V. will not hesitate to make

father and his illustrious grandmother
did not live up to figurehead theory
of their function and England will

egregious as that which, disseminated
In this country ever since Edward
died, inspired the average American
with the notion that a British sover
eign Is without power, says Current
Literature. The English themselves,
taking their cue from the leading Lon
don dallies, have lost' whatever wish
they may have had for a phantom
potentate. It was only by degrees, as
Prof. J. H. B. Masterman of St. John's
College, Cambridge, points out, that
Englishmen learned how very strongly
the Influence of the late Queen Vic
toria affected the course of English
politics. The accession of the late Ed
ward VII. might be said to mark the
revival of the political Importance of
the British monarch. During the nine
years that the late sovereign sat upon
tho throne everything tended to dem
onstrate the right of the king to as
sert his authority and Influence far
more strongly than had been the case
when Victoria was newly come to the
crown. George V. was reared by his
father in no such theory of the royal

Steel Superseding Wood.
The substitution of steel for wood
goes steauuy on. Beginning wua
January 1, or thereabouts, the Na
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de
cided to abandon the use of wooden
kegs. This Innovation is made be
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not ab
sorb the oil from tbe lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there is,
therefore, no drying and caking of
the lead around the edges, making It
possible to remove every particle of
white lead eaBily from the Bteel keg.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, the
new steel packages also will save stor
age space.

Mr. William A. Hadford will answer

It is one of tho healthful signs of
present day building that the interior
arrangement of a house is given more
attention and is considered more im
portant than is its exterior appear
ance. Home builders have outgrown
that period when matters of design
were regulated by what the neigh
bors would think.
A generation ago every house had
to have its front and back parlor; the
former preferably garnlBhed with a
round tower bay window arrangement
on the corner and the exterior elab
orately supplied with fancy orna
ments, If the building was to com
mand any distinction at all in the
community; and all of this was to
the general detriment of the home in
terior. A modern house, on the other band,
Is designed to meet the needs of the
family life, providing rooms that are
well lighted, well ventilated, of
proper size and so arranged that the
work of house keeping may be re
duced to its lowest terms.
The architect draws his floor plans
and lets the exterior appearance large
ly take care of Itself. Yet, in spite
of this, the modern houses planned
In this way are more attractive in
their general exterior appearance
than were the pretentious, over-
ornamented dwellings of old.
Simplicity and directness are the
two first requirements for successful
design elements which come strong
ly into play in this present-day idea
of home planning.
In the accompanying design the
most important consideration was to
have the first floor so planned that
an Impression of spaciousness be
gained upon entering the front door;
at the same time it was desired that

the dining room and kitchen be sep
arated from the rest of the house at
times, when a certain privacy there
is desired. This is a very frej".ent
requirement; ret, it is surprising how
often our houses aB they are built
fulfil but part of this requirement.
A glance at the first-floor plan will
show an arrangement which accom
plishes the purpose very successfully
In this case. Entrance is had at the

usually necessary, in order to secure
the desirable features mentioned, to

has a finicky way of arranging them
face upward, with the demoainant In
the upper right hand corner, and he
keeps the bills of the same denomina
tion together. The cashier in the wire
cage of the retail business Is not so
particular. She It usually is a she
can handle money upside down and
face downward without discomfort or
confusion. She apparently puts it
away as it happens to come out of the
carrier; she certainly takes no cogniz
ance of these male peculiarities in the
way in which she makes change. So
bewildered man halts in the aisle, In
tent on bringing order from chaos,
blocks up the passage, and is Jostled!
Wo know that the bulk of the retail
trade of the country is carried on by
women with women, who understand
each other even in this, but has mere
man no rights in the matter? Since
society is so busy reforming every
thing it happens to think of, can It not
start a movement for the orderly ar
rangement of our change?
Preserving Time.
All of the members of the family
are being pressed Into service to help
make preserves. No mattor how many
servants are employed in a house
hold, the preserves that mother makes
always takes the prize and are the
most delicious which can be manu
factured. The preserve season has its draw
backs, but It Is refreshing to think
that during the cold days of next
winter (cold days, what a pleasant
thought) the family will be amply
repaid for Its trouble. The debutante
could not go to a party If any one
would give one, they are so busy
stoning cherries and assorting rasp
berries, currants, etc. It is not a
Job of which they are particularly
fond, but it's a case of everybody
lending his assistance, and of helping
the good cause.

NO CHANCE TO GO WRONG
Statement of Beauty Doctor May Have
Been True, but It Was Not
Gallant.
William F. Oldham, bishop of Sing
ipore, talked at a dinner, on his last
visit to New York, about missionary
work.
"A certain type of man," he said,
"goes about declaring that we dom
inant races civilize the savage out of
existence that we do them barm in
stead of good.
"Well, as a matter of fact, if these
cavaliers knew what I know about
jonie tribes, they would speak less
confidently. Some tribes are so de
based that to do they anything but
good would hardly be possible. They
are, in fact. Just like the ugly wom
an who visited the beauty doctor.
"This woman waa ugly in every fea
ture, but her nose was particularly
ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on it.
" 'I am willing,' she said, to pay
you liberally, doctor, but I demand in
return substantial results. We will
start with my nose. Can you guar
antee to make it ideally beautiful?'
"The doctor, after looking attentive
ly at the woman's nose, replied:
" "Well, madam, I can't say as to
ideal beanty, but a nose like yours I
couldnt help Improving if I hit it with
a mallet' "

It waa at a Fourth of July meeting
In the little city. The mayor, William
Smith, rose, and at dignified length
read the Declaration of Independence.
There was a pause; then from one
of the mayor's old schoolmates came
the loud whisper: "Bill never vlrit
that Ha ain't smart enough."
It takes a strong-minded spinster to
believe that the reason men don't pro
pose to her is that she never gives
them a chance.
How many of us have cravings that
never will be stilled, though we do
not talk about them. Dr. Robertsoq

LACK OF MONEY
Waa a Godsend In This Case.
It is not always that a lack ot
money is a benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark., owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the tee demand
ed by a specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:
"I had been treated by four differ
ent payslclans during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately I called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that I had neuralgia of the stom
ach. Then I went to a specialist who
told me I had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. I could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity I
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
"So I stopped coffee and gave Post
um a thorough trial and the results
have been magical. I now sleep well
at night, something I had not done
for a long time; the pain in my stom
ach is gone and I am a different
woman.
"I dreaded to Quit coffee, because
every time I had tried to stop It I suf
fered from sovere headaches, so I con
tinued to drink It although I had rea
son to believe it was injurious to me,
and was the cause of my stomach
trouble and extreme nervousness. But
when I had Postum to shift to it waa
different.
"To my surprise I did not miss cof
fee when I began to drink Postum.
"Coffee had been steadily and sure
ly killing me and I didn't full) realise
what was doing it until I Quit and
changed to Postum."
