"Thev were ab'it f.ither: be w: :! m involve him in dishonor. Hut he hall not, he shall not!" cried Helen. "Is that true, Larry?" asked Miss Pat. "I have done the best I could," I replied evasively. Miss Pat scrutinized us all slowly a though studying our faces for th truth. Then she repeated: "Rut If either of my said sons shall have been touched by dishonor through his own act, as honor Is accounted, reckoned and valued among men " and ceased abruptly, looking from Ar thur to Henry. "What was the truth about Gillespie?" she asked. And Arthur would have spoken. I snw the word that would have saved his brother formed upon his lips. Mis Put alone soemod unmoved; I paw her hand open and ehiit r.t her side as she controilod herself, but her face was calm end h.r voice was steady when she tamed appealingly to the canoe-nicker. "What Is t.ie truth, Arthur?" she asked, quietly. "Why go Into this now? Why not let bygones be bygones?" and for a moment. I thought 1 had checked the swift current. It was Helen I wished to save now, from herself, from the avalanche she seemed doomed to bring down upon her head. "I will hear what you have to say, Arthur," said Miss Pat; and I knew that there was no arresting the tide. I snatched out the sealed envelope and turned with It to Arthur Holbrook; and he took it Into his hands and turned It over quietly, though his hands trembled. "Tell me the truth, gentlemen!" and Miss Pat's voice thrilled now with anger. "Trickery, more trickery; those were stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen ry, his eyes on the envelope; but we were waiting for the canoe-maker to speak, and Henry's words rang empti ly In the shop. Arthur looked at his brother; then he faced his sister. - . """ "Henry is not guilty," ha said, calmly. He turned with a quick gesture and ! thrust the envelope Into the flame of ' one of the candles; but Helen sprang , forward and caught away the blazing packet and smothered the flame be tween her hands. "We will keep the proof." sh said In a tone of triumph; and I knew then 1 how completely she had believed in her father. "I don't know what Is In that pack et," ssld Gillespie, Blowly, speaking for the first time. "It has never been opened. My lawyer told me that fa ther had bworn to a statement about the trouble with Holbrook Rrothers ' nnd placed It with the notes. My fa-1 ther was a peculiar man In some ways," continued Gillespie, embar rassed by the attention that was now riveted upon him. "His lawyer told me that I was to open that package before before marrying Into" and he grew red and stammered helplessly, with his eyes on the floor "before marrying Into the Holbrook family. I gave up that packet" and he hesl tated, coloring, and turning from Hel en to Rosalind "by mistake. Rut It's mine, and I demnnd It new." "I wish Aunt Pnt to open the en velope," said Rosalind, very white. Henry turned a Iook of appeal upon his brother; but Miss Pat took the envelope from Helen and tore It oen; nnd we stood by as though we waited for death or watched earth fall upon a grave. She bent down to one of the candles nearest her and took out the not"-, which were wrapped In a sheet of heal cap. A red seal brightened In the light, and we heard the slight rat tle of the paper In her tremulous fin gers as he read. Suddenly a tear flashed upon the white sheet. When she had quite flnlshed she gathered Gillespie's statement and the notes la her hand and turned nnd gave them to Henry; but she did not speak to him or meet his eyes. She crossed to where Arthur stood beside me. h's head bowed, and as she advsnred r turned away; but her arms stole over his shoulders and she said "Arthur" once, and again very softly. "I think," she said, turning toward us all. with her sweet dignity, her brave air, that touched me as at first and always, beyond any words of mine to describe, but strong and beautiful and sweet and thrilling through me now, like bugles blown at dawn; "I think that we do well, Arthur, to give Henry his money." And now It whs Arthur's voice that rose In tho shop; and It seemed that he spoke of his brother as of one who wns afar of. We listened wlih pain ful lntent"-ss to this man who had n-f. feted r h nnd given much, nnd wl- fill. 1 1 nt! H-i e nenrt, asknfl no praise for what he had done. "He was s'm-"- nnd I was weak; and I did for hltn what I onuM. And what I Rave, I gave freely, for It Is not ofte'u In this WttFni that Tffff weaY CTay help the strong. He had the gifts, Pat. that I had not. and troops of friends; and he had ambitions that In my weakness I ns nc ! capable of ; so I had not much to give. But what I had. Pat. I pave to him; I went to Gilit-apie auu run Teased; I took ihe blame; and I ram" here and worked with my hands with . my hands" And he '-'ended them as 'hough the proof t- re asked; and ke; t repeating, between his sobs: "With my hands." CHAPTER XXV. Daybreak. At midnight Gillespie and I discussed the day's afTalrs on the terrace at Glenrm. There were long pauses In our ' 'Ik. Such thine as we had seen and heard that nleht In thm rm mak-r's shop on the little creek, were ! beyond our poor range of words. And In the silences my own reflections were not whr'ly happy. If Miss Pat r ! Ri-sat'"d ?d pet fr"- v d me o Oc canoe-makci's 1 mljht ' ive si-arel Helen; but looking back, I would not change It now If I could. Helen had returned to St. Agatha's with her aunt. ; who would have it so; and we had rarted at the school door, Miss Pat i n A T r 1 r-m i.. - j i i . l. I uuu iiui-'ll, lilllt-npir: nriu l, vvuo re straint l"avy upon us all. Miss Pat ' 'd. It r -ornod, summoned her lawyer Lou TCe v Yrrk several days before, to discuss 'io llnal kmt.-nt of her fa ther's " t' te; ui:d 1 - was t kneeled the nexf -I'm. I hid asked them all to ' a.m frr I' "'-'".s;; a:: I Arthur HolL, ook and Rosalind, am' " mry, who had broken dawn at the end, had agreed to come. As we talked on, Gillespie nnd I, there under the stars, he disclosed, all unconsciously, new and surprining traits, and I felt my heart warming to him. "He's a good deal of a man, that Arthur Holbrook," he remarked aHer a long pauBe. "He's beyond me. The man who runs the enemy's lines to bring relief to the garrison, or the leader of a forlorn hope, is tame after this. I suppose the world would call him a fool." "Undoubtedly," I answered. "Rut he didn't do It for the world; he did it for himself. We can't applaud a thing like that in the usual phrases." "No," Gillespie added; "only get down on our knuees and bow our heads In the dust before It." He rose and paced the long terrace. In his boat-shoe's nnd white flannels he glided noiselessly back and forth, like a ghost in the star dusk. He paused at the western balustrade and looked oft at St. Agatha's. Then he passed me and paused again, gazing lakeward through the wood as though turning from Helen to Rosalind; and I knew that it was with her, far over the water, in the little cottage at Red Gate, that his thoughts lingered. But when he came and stood beside me and rested his hand on my shoulder I knew thai lie wished lo speak of Hel en and I took his hand, and spoku to hint to make it easier." - -- - "Well, old man!" "I was. thinking of Helen," he Bald. "So was I, Buttons." "They are different, the two. They are very different." "They are as like as God ever made two people; and yet they are differ ent." "I think you understand Helen. I never did." he declared, mournfully. "You don't have to." I replied; and lehed, and rose and stood behind hltu. "And now there's something I want to speak to you about to-night. Helen borrowed some money of you a little while ago to meet one of her father's demands. I expect a draft for that money by the morning mall, and I want you to accept It with my thanks, and hers. And the incident shall pass as though It had never been." About one o'clock the wind fresh ened and tho trees flung out their arms like runners rushing before It; and from the west marched a storm with banners of lightning. It was a splendid spectacle, and we went in doors only when the rain beaan to wash across the terrace. , We st 111 watched It from our windows after we went upstairs, the lightning now blazing out bllndlngly, like sheets of flame from a furnace door, and again cracking about the house like a fiery whip. "We ought to have brought Henry here tonight," remarked Gillespie. 'H- "We Ought to Have Brought Henry Here To-Nlght." "lie's stone over tl-pr.i rc tbu iur.-vl wttn that d.iso and tlx y re iim-iy cii orating by g"Mlni drunk." "The lli-htninn's getting on ymr nerves; eo to hd." I called bark. The s'orm left pence b"h''i;I and t was abroad early. c.r;er to have the ! IS first shock of the mornings meeting over. Gillespie greeted me cheerily and I told him to follow when he was ready. I went out and paced the walk between the house and St. Agatha's and as I peered through the Iron gate I saw Miss Pat come out of the house and turn into the garden. I came upon her walking slowly with her hands clasped behind her. She spoke first, as though to avoid any expression of sympathy, putting out her hand. Filmy lace at the wrists gave to her hands a quaint touch akin to that im parted by the cap on her white head. I was struck afresh by the background that seemed always to be sketched In for her, and just now, beyond the bright garden. It was a candle-lighted garret, with trunks of old letters tied la dim ribbons, and lavender scented chests of Valenciennes and silks in forgotten patterns. "I am well, quite well. Larry!" "I am glad! I wished to be sure!" "Do not trouble bout me. I am glad of eveiy thing that has happened glad and relieved And I am grate ful to you." "I have served you 111 enough. I stumbled In the dark much of the time. I wanted to spare you. Miss Pat." "1 know that; and yon tried to save Helen. She was blind ar d misguided. She had believed in her father and the last blow crushed her. Everything looks dark to her. She refuses to come over this morning; she thinks she can not face her uncle, her cousin or you again." "But she must come," I said. "It will bo easier to day than at any later time. There's Gillespie, calling me now. He's going across the lake to nn-et Arthur and Rosalind. I slwll take tho launch over to tho Island to bring Henry. We should all be back at Glenarm In an hour. Please tell Helen that we must have her, that no one should stay away." Miss Pat looked at me oddly, and her fingers touched a stalk of holly hock beside her as her eyes rested on mine. "Larry," she said, "do not be sorry for Helen If pity Is all you have for her." I laughed and seized her hands. "Miss Pat, I could not feel pity for any one so skilled with the sword as she! It would be gratuitous! She put up a splendid fight, and it's to her credit that she stood by her father and resented my Interference, as she had every right to to. She was not really agalnBt you, Miss Pat; it merely happened that you were In the way when she struck at me with the foil, don't you see?" "Not Just that way, Larry," and she continued to gaze at me with a sweet distress in her eyes; then, "Rosallno Is very different," she added. "I have observed it! The ways in which they are utterly unlike are re markable; but I mustn't keep Gillespie waiting. Good by for a little while! And some foreboding told me that sorrow had not yet done with her. . Glllseple shouted Impatiently as I ran toward him at the boathouse. "It's the Stiletto," he called, point lng to where the sloop lay, midway of the lake. "She's In a bad way." "The storm blew her out." I sug gested, but the sight of the boat, list ing badly, as though water-logged, struck me ominously. "We'd better pick her up," he said; and he was already dropping one of the canoes Into the water. We pnd died swiftly toward the sloop. The Inke was still fretful from the storm's lashing, but the sky was without fleck of flaw. The earliest of the little steamers was crossing from the vil lage, her whistle edioi.ig snd reecho lng round the lake. "The sloop's about done for," Bald Gillespie over his shoulder; and we drove our blados deeper. The Stiletto was floating stem-on and rolling log glly, hut retaining still. I though! something of the sinister air that she had worn on her strange business through those summer days. "hue went to bed all right; r- er sails are furled snug and ever1 it In shape. The storm drove 1 wer here," said Gillespie. "She's ftnn-k something, or somebody's smashed her." Jt seemed impossible that the storm unassisted had blown her from Rattle Orchard across Lake Annandale; but we were now close upon her and seek ing for means of getting aboard. "She's a bit sloppy," observed Gil lespie, as we swung round and caught hold. The water gurgled drunkenly in the cuddy, and a broken lantern rat tled on the deck. I held fast as he climbed over, sending me off a little as he jumped aboard, and I was work ing back again with the paddle when he cried out in alarm. ' Aa I came alongside he came back to help me, and when he bent over to catch the painter I saw that his face was white. "We might have known it,;' he said. "It'i the last and worst that could hap pen." Face down across toe cuddy lay the body of Henry Holbrook. His water soaked clothing was torn as though in a fierce struggle. A knife thrust la the side told the story; he had crawled to the cuddy roof to get away from the water and had died there. "It was the Italian." said Gillespie. "They must hnve had a row lant night after we left them, and It came to this. He chopped a hole In the Stilet to and set her adrift to sink." I looked about for the steamer, which was baching away from the pier at Port Ann.fidale, and signaled her with my handkerchief. And when I faced Gillespie iiriln- he pointed hL letitly toward tho lower Into whet i-r.noe rode the tirtunt water.

HARROW PoIir.A Dicenver f irm in I nifin of Byron Clark Last evening Chief of Police Raiuey and Officer Nltka saved the city from what might have been a disastrous conflagration. They were standing In front of L. U. Egenberger's store when a bla.e was noticed In the of fice of Byrcn Clark. At first Chief Ralney believed that the fire was caused from a gasoline stove as the flames seemed to come from some thing of that kind and he paid little attention to It. Officer Nltka watched the blaze and concluded It was a fire and so told the chief. They ran across the street and found the door of the office closed and locked. They broke In the door and found the room filled with smoke. It required no search to show where the fire came from. The fire originated In a drawer in Mr. Clark's table and had burned quite a bit of the table and destroyed some very valuable papers. The offlefr apeed lly extinguished the fire and then left the office, attempts to reach Mr. Clark were unavailing as he was not t home and was looking aftr business In another part of the city. He was finally located and came to his offiee. Accompanied by Officer Nitka and a Journal representative a visit was paid to the office and th' destroyed property looked over. Mr. Clark was unable to say definitely just what the loss was as It consist ed of valuable papers but It Is quite large. The fire probably originated from- a cigar stub thrown In the drawer. The main feature of the fire wan the fact that it was discovered In time to prevent It spreading and burning valuable property. Mr. Clark '8 library Is one of the best lav libraries In the state and Is worth many thousands of dollars. Had It been destroyed and tho building burned the loss would have been probably $15,000 at least. It Is a matter of congratulation that the po lice exercised good discretion and put out the fire without waiting for the fire department. It is more prob able that the wait would have been more disastrous and the resulting loss would have been very large. Find the Porker. Carl Kunsman thought for a few- days thai he had lost a fine pig. As Is well known Kunsman & Ramge hate slaughter pens northwest of the city and they keep their own cattle and hogs there, killing them as they need them. They had a number of fine hogs In the pens and In looking them over they found that they were short one fine hog. A careful Bearch was made of the premises and no hog was found. Concluding they were simply short a hog which had gotten out and run away or which had been sotlen, they made no effort to locate It further and figured they were Just short that much. Lo! and behold! Sunday Chief Ralney and J. E. McDanlel went out to Plntte bottom searching, for truf fles and what happened? They con cluded to stop nt the pens of Kuns man & Ramgo snd go tip through the pens and on to the hills In their senrch. In so doing they found n fine bed of leaves which looked In viting and likely to have something they wanted. They started to dig into It and were surprised to find a live one which had burrowed Into the brush and leaves. Investigation disclosed that the lost hog was there and they had unearthed It at once tearing away the bush and leaves. It was very poor from Its fasting but seemed to be all right otherwise. After they had finished their search ror truffles which by the wav, resulted In nothing, they came back and Informed Messrs. Kinsman and Ramge that tho lost was found and the porker was safe in tho pens. What gets everyone Is how the ani mal ever came to burrow Into the brush and how It managed to live as long as It did without food or water Is a wonder. Will Retain Saloon.
