Mr. Mead looked inquiringly at Gripp; by chance the clerk glanced at him, Then the detective also looked at Gripp s he replied to Mr. Mead. "We are on the murderer's track; we think it is impossible for him to escape." "1 hope you will catch him! I hope you may!" exclaimed Mr. Mead, fervent- 17 "That is why I inquired about Ather ton. Good day, sir." rne detective retired. As he opened ihe door, he observed it was ajar. He also observed a young lady standing near a window in the adjoining room. Her face was turned from him, but her cbek was deadly pale. The detective, a trained observer, made a retatai note of the fart. Had she heard '..hat passed in the inner room'; And if he did, how or in what way did the murder concern her? "I very much regret the absurd mistake that will compel me to call on you again." said Gripp, when they were alone. Plainly, his face indicated disappoint ment, chagrin. The substitution of one lot of drawings for another how could he axplain that? He would only matte mat ter! worse, he argued, so he held hw peace, trusting to time and a favorable reception of his very liberal proportion to Mr, Mead to pave the way fur au ex planation of the change made in the drawings, when they could laugh over it. He bowed himself out, and hastened away so quickly he did not notice the fig ure at the window. When he disu pair ed, one of the clerks addressed the wait ing figure at the window. 'Mr. Mead is disengaged now, miss. The lady entered Mr. Mead's private room quickly. "You are Mr. Mead?' "Be seated. Yes, and I am sorry I kept you waiting." "You will excuse my want of ceremony, but it is a matter that cannot wait." "Proceed." "My name is Atherton. 1 am a daubs ter o Daniel AUierton." Mr. Mead was secretly aniased, but he only bowed, and she continued: 'I have called to see you concerning a matter Mr. Arthur May berry is, or was. interested in." Mr. Mead bowed again, rim manner reassured her. She hastened on with her atory, as though time was precious, or the feared to occupy Mr. Mead'g time. "Mr. Mayberry called upon you con cerning business which he is unable, to pursue, because, unfortunately, as I have reason to uetieve, my iauier uu manner induced to change his mind. At least, matters turned out in a way that Mr. Mayberry could not do what he thought he could, and I have called not with his or my father's knowledge, ir but to let you know the truth, as (ou will doubtless know it from Mr. May ierry himself.

Give yourself no eoueern whatever," said Mr. Mead, smil lnt'ly, as he looked at the anxiom face turned toward him. She was going, when , he detained her. "This idea of your father's haa he dis posed of it to any person, or has he tak- en steps that will test the correctness ef bis views?" "I do not know. I think be has not succeeded in interesting more than two person Mr. Mayberry, who, it seems, has given the matter op, and one other." A MUI. 11 1111. vu uiu ielm ' r, - is calling.

And be . Instantly surmised that the drawings Mr. Gripp bad looked at with anger and ill concealed disgust were this young lady's. 8 he bowed again and withdrew. Mr. ' Mead paced the floor with a strange smile hovering on his lips. "Ho, this is Atberton't daughter. A love affair, Who would bare thought her ,. puddler's daughter? As pretty a girl at one will see in a week. 80, this is a eaae where Gripp has displayed bis usual hornet judgment.

"'I say, Irene! Are you sure you gave Mr. Gripp the right roll? These papers are all mixed tip together. I can't tell them apart." "I don't know. 1 won't be sure. Y'ou can satisfy yourself by opening them." He opened the first large roll near him. An exclamation brought Irene to the door. Her father looked at her with a grave face. "Why, here are the drawings Gripp came for." "I can't see how it happened." Mid Irene, coming forward. "1 was so anx ious to gut rid of him, after refusing him the first time, that I gave him the roli 1 thought he wanted." "The next thing I want to know, what did you give him''" Irene stood on a chair, looked at the remaining rolls, then descended, put a finger on her lips, and baid: "Papa, I gave Mr. Gripp my drawings in mistake." I'an Atherton made a wry face. The mistake in the drawings evident ly made him very uneasy. Suddenly his eye fell on the note addressed to him. He strode to the mantel, saying: "When did this come?" "I thought you saw it when you came in: it came half an hour before Mr. Gripp called the second time." Atherton opened the note qnlcldy, cost. his eye over it, then in an altered, tone asked: "Who left this here?" Irene, quick to note the change in his voice and manner, replied: "A boy." "A boy. lo you know him? Would yon know him if you saw him again? What was he like?" "Yes. I think I am sure I could tell him. 1 never saw him before. Why, he was about twelve or fourteen." "Irene!" His manner alarmed ber; his eyes shone with a fierceness that alarmed her. "You must keep on the lookout for him tne boy, 1 mean and if you see him as you value your life, do not let him pet out of your sight mili! you learo who he is, where be lives all that Is nece.-Oi.iry to be able to put my baud on him. You hear, Irene?" "Yes, I understand, father." Then Attierton hastily crumpled the note up, thrust it into his pocket, grasped bin hat, and without saying a word more left, the house. When Atherton was a little distinct from home he paused, stood motionless, and reflected. Opening the note be ba thrust into his pocket, he reperused it slowly. It was very mysterious. It rea thus: "There is no telling what a monien may bring Forth Bent cut your stick, and less Chance of Trubble. I'd tell you this only for strange eyes watching to get a grip on some one. "A FKIEND-IN NEED.' Atherton read this over twice carefully and walked on. Erst holding the mysteri ous note np carefully and placing it in bin pocket. There wag no date. The signature was not reassuring. It could only mean one thing. It re ferred to the death of Hob Peters. And yet 110 name was mentioned. It was vague, but all the more calculated to alarm a man of weak mind; a timid man would be driven into a panic by it, un less he felt that he could easily meet and djspose of any charge brought against, him. "It means more than Gripp knows of all that passed and maybe some one who does' not know, but suspects what la not true." Atherton walked slowly along, ponder ing the meaning of the warning note. "And why may it not be somebody try ing to frighten me? Somebody who wants to get me out of the way?" This view was as reasonable as any other. His strong common sense told him he ought not to be guided in any Im portant matter by any anonymous note. In short, he took the correct view; he said to himself he would stay where he was. He was as innocent, as sinless, as any man who could confront him, and he would not be driven away from the flty. And yet there was enough to make him feci uncomfortable, nervous, apprehen sive. A man who would stop to write him such a not was cowardly enough to da anything. So be bad two enemies where be thought he hard but one. That one was Gripp. Gripp, whom he was clinging to; Gripp, whom be felt like choking; Gripp, who hoped to be related to him in a closer manner than commer cial cords could bring about. Atherton asked himself then and there: Will I fight for freedom for myself, for my daughter? I-ong he debated with himself. When be had turned to move on, he made this resolve: I will fight I will be as wise as the serpent and as gentle as tne dove until or time comes. Then, Mr. Gripp, look out for yourself look out, Mr. Gripp!" He thrust a band out in imagination ns be walked on it was now dusk. "Hello, there! What do you mean, bit ting a fellow that way ? Wby, bless me if 'taln't Dan Atherton." "You're just the man I want to talk to. Come with me, Jack Jones, I have something very serious to say to you." "Dan, you know I'd go through fire and water for you." "I believe it. Come." Then tbe two pnddlers walked on !de by side. ' CHAPTER XVII.

Another -roup were discussing local politics. 1 At the extreme end of the counter two , men were conversing in low tones. One ; was weil dressed, with the manner of a sharp, keen business man. Something j in this man's manner and appearance ar-. rested Athertou's attention. But be hur ried with bis friend into the back room, giving a waiter a sign. The man follow- i ed him immediately. "We want to be alone about five min utes. Til see you ain't disturbed., for that tune, said the attendant. Atherton thrust a hand into his pocket. brought forth the warning note, .aid it down before his companion, and looked at him in silence. Jack Jones stared. Jack!" Atherton lowered his voice. 'I brought you over here to tell you what no other soul will ever hear from me. I want one man to know the truth. May be it will be bent it may serve me or mine." Atherton looked around him, then bend ing forward, asked his companion: "Did you ever hear talk of how Peters died ':" "Talk! O, there was plenty said you had an old grudge, and a good ream to wallop him, but death stepped in and cheated you of your chance. 1 bey do say, speak no ill of the dead, but I never could abide Peters, He was too upset tiu' too much for the boss, and too sy for any of us. But he is dead, and let him rest." Amen to that. You never heard :.ny- thiug like a hiut of foul play?" "Why, I'd knock a man down if he hinted it afore me." You must know the beginning and end. I was quarreling with him, you know 1 had good cause. I told him I'd let no man ride rough shod over me. And he goaded me to desperation. Well, I had just made up my mind to whip him, or he'd whip me." "I predicted it often, Dan. "And I was just going to him with this first." Atherton held out his clencjisi hand. "He had picked up a weapon, when be fell in a heap-like a man struck by lightning." Jones looked at bis companion, open- moutbed. Yoo didn't tell that at the inquest. 'So. Mr. Meeker did not like to raise any more talk than wag necessary, the moment tbe iuauest was over 1 felt un easy, it was tne nrst inmg 1 con cealed, Jack." "It's like yon. Nobody never knew vou to keep anything back." "Then Gripp came to me and talked as if I owed everything to him for not be ing in jail." "And you hit him?" "No. You see I began to think of Iiene. I bore much on her account. When Gripp found I was alarmed nbout the w ay i'eters died, and the whole cas was not explained, he began to build on controlling me. Y'ou know my patent. "Aye." "It, brought me foolish letters, and 011 -Just one business customer young Mavberry. We bargftitied or, 1 signed an agreement with him. He was to help get others interested, and carry out my plans. When we talked the process over not very far from where we are sitting Griim. who was m a stall in a restau rant next as. overheard every word I said." "And if be did be dare not come into your way. Y'ou'd your idea patenteli "Not everything. He beard enough to cheat me. Mayberry and I went to Me.ni Bros. & Co. Mayberry was going to f;et Mr. Mead into the scheme with us and there was Griim ahead of us. We beard Mm talk about his new prowss to Mr. Mead. Mayberry and I separated, and afterward Gripp met me I think he was on the lookout and ho tried to induce me. to throw Mayberry over and take him iu." "Then did vou fir at him?' "I did not. I thought of tbe scandal of Irene. 1 ought to have quarreled with him and have done with It. 'Then what?' Atherton's eye was more resolute, bis tone more Impressive. "I'm going to prove to yon how easily It is to be mistaken. I'm going to show yon bow I let the thoughts of Irene and scandal cow me. I said Vd think over 1L I should have struck the villain, for he is one. When Mayberry called on me for a talk, I was offish he got offish, too, and as he is a high-minded, spirited young fellow, he gave me back the agree ment I signed." Well," said Jack Jones, sitting back from the table, "he was a fool. He'd a night to bold on to the paper, and not let his higb-mlndedness come between him and his plain rights. I never believed it f yoo Dan never." "I know Gripp would like to marry my daughter. He has means. He is worth a good deal of money as he was having everything his own way with my pro I'm sorry for you, Pan; I'm main sorry, llan. I believe it. But I am sorrier for myself. He had me call to see him at an out-of-the-way place" here Dan shud dered "a place where a murder was com mitted that very night; so you may know tbe sort of a gang I had to encounter going there." "Tbe murder was "Tbe murder of that woman in Alle- ghaay. I agreed to send him my draw ings, so he could show tbem to Mr. Mead " "Then he's got you foul, Dan. If he's got tbe drawings, you must get tbem back." "Stop. He didn't get tbem. When I sent aim to my house for tbem, Irene would not give them on a verbal order. So I wrote one at the mill, and be went back for tbe drawings. When I got home from work this evening, 1 found Irene gave him the wrong drawings." "Uood! Good! Oood for Irene!" "I don't know, but 1 think she maybe made a mistake. Anyhow, Gripp has a lot of papers with Irene's birds, vases and flowers on tbem. "Now I'd like to burst, Dan.

Far more profitable In many iu- Mianccs than tilling tbe soil and gleiin- ng the harvests therefrom Is Hie occu uitiou of "farming" the ocean.

Among the practical jokers of Chi cago is one who deserves to be classed with the "doctor" In Mark Twain's "In nocents Abroad." Tbe "doctor's" con versation with the guide about the mummy is hardly more amusing than this man's conversion with the guide about Niagara Falls, as related by the Brooklyn Eagle. The man recently! made his first trip to the falls, and a guide whom he hired wus trying to im press him with their magnitude. '"Oraud!" suggested the guide. "Great!" acquiesced tbe Cblcagoan, stolidly. "Magnificent!" persisted the guidf disappointed at the lack of euthusl asm. "Finer than the bear-trap dam In the drainage canal," admitted the Chlca- goan. The guide looked to see If he were joking, but there was never a smile. The Chicago man seemed to be interest ed, but not at all Impressed. 'Millions of gallons a minute," ex plained the guide. 'How many a day?" asked the Chi- cagoan. "Ob, billions and billions!"

No doubt It Is difficult for her to avoid this when she feels the capability to skillfully discuss many subjects which her women friends per force remain silent owing to entire lack of even slight technical knowl edge.

That a woman may be successful In the legal profession even in a section where there is xo much conservatism in matters of this sort as in the far South has been amply demonstra ted in the case of Miss Hosa C.

In fact, statin! that during thee years Miss Falls lias never lost a case or a client, a record which few of the sterner sex engaged In the same pro fession can equal and none surpass. Miss Falls Is a daughter of JutLje I. W. Falls, for many years a magistrate. In tne of the city courts of New Or leans, and heredity may therefore have something to do with her liking for Blackstone and Kent and her choice of a life calling. She bad an extended experience, however, as a newspaper correspondent and reporter before she began the study of law, and the knowl edge gained thereby has been extreme ly valuable to her.
