But on this pnrtlculnr evening when ho wns Binoklng his nfter-dlnner pipe on tho floRstoncd porch with Coronn for his companion, there were plicnomenn nppnrently uncxplnlnnble on nny pure ly mntcrlnl hypothesis. "I nm sure I hnve much less thnn half of the curiosity that women are said to have, but, really, I do want to know what dreadful thing hns hap pened to you since we met you In the IIlRh Line offlces this morning mamma and I," was the way In which ono of the phenomena was mnde to oc cur; nnd Smith started so nervously that he dropped his pipe. "You can be tho most unexpected person, when you try," he laughed, but tho laugh scarcely rang true. "What makes you think that anything has happened?" "I don't think I know," tho small ccrc8s.went on with calm assurance. "You've been telling us in nil sorts of dumb ways that you've had nn upset ting shock of Borne kind; and I don't tellcve It's another lawsuit. Am I tight, so far?" "I believe you nre a witch, nnd It's a mighty good thing you didn't live In tho Salem period," he rejoined. "They would have hanged you to a dead moral certainty." "Then thero wns something?" she queried; adding, Jubllnntly: "I knew It!" "Go on," said the one to whom It had happened ; "go on nnd tell me tho rest of it." "Oh, that Isn't fair; even a profes sional clairvoyant hns to be told the color of her eyes and hair." fimlth returned to Brewster the next rooming by way of tho dam, mailing tho long detour count for ns much an posslblo in tho matter of sheer time klllinir. It wns a Ilttlo beforo noon when ho renched town by tho round about route, nnd went to tho hotel to rcconnolter. Tho roomclerk who gaye him his key gave him also tho Informa tion he craved. "Mr. IUchlandor? Oh, yes; he left enrly this morning by tho stage. He Is Interested In some gold properties up in tho range beyond Topaz. Flno old gcntlemnn. Do you know him, Mr. Smith?" "Tho name seemed familiar when I saw it on the register Inst evening," wns Smith's cvnslon; "but it is not such a very uncommon nnrac. Ho didn't say when ho was coming back?" "No." Smith took a fresh hold upon llfo nnd liberty. While tho world Is peril ously narrow in some respects, it is comfortably broad in others, nnd a danger onco safely averted Is a danger lessened. Snntchlng n hnsty luncheon In tho grillroom, tho fighting manager of Tlmanyonl High Lino hurried across to the prlvnto suite In the Klnzlo build ing offices Into which ho had lately moved and onco inoro plunged Into the. business bnttle. Notwithstanding a new troublo which Sllillngs hnd wished to talk over with his president and tho financial manager tho night before the claim set up by tho dead-and-gono railroad to n right of way across tho Tlmanyonl at tho dam tho battle was progress ing favorably. Williams was accom plishing tho Incredible in tho matter of speed, nnd tho dam was now nearly ready to withstand tho high-water stresses when they should come. Tho powerhouse was rising rapidly, nnd tho machinery was on the way from the East. Altogether things were look ing moro hopeful thnn they had ut any period since tho hasty reorganization. Smith attacked tho multifarious details of his many-sided Job with returning , energy. If ho could make shift to hold on for n few days or weeks longer. . . . Whllo Smith was dictating tho final batch of letters to tho second stenog rapher a young man with sleepy eyes nnd yellow creosoto stains on his fin gers came in to nsk for a job. Smith put him oft until tho correspondence was finished and then gave him a hear ing. "What kind of work are you looking for?" was tho brisk query. "Shorthand work, If I can. get it," said tho mnn out of a Job. Smith was needing another stenog-. rapher and ho looked the applicant over npprutslngly. The appraisal was not entirely satisfactory. There was a certain shifty furtlvcness In the half opened eyes, and tho rather weak chin hinted at a possible lack of the dis creetness which is the prime requisite private suite In tho Klnzlo building of fices and went across tho street to tho hotel. Tho great dining room of the Honhra IIouso was on the ground floor. Tho room wns well filled, but the head wnltcr found Smith a small tnblo In the shelter of ono of tho pillars and brought him nn evening pnper. Smith gavo his dinner order and bo gnn to glnnco through the pnper. The subdued chatter and clamor of the big room dinned pleasantly in his cars. Ilalf absently ho realized that tho head waiter was seating somcono nt tho placo opposlto his own ; then tho faint odor of violets, instantly reminiscent, enmo to his nostrils. Ho knew In stinctively, nnd before ho could put tho newspaper aside, what had hap pened. Ilenco the shock, when ho found himself face to face with Vcrda Rich- lander, was not so completely paralyz ing as it might have been. She was looking across nt Mm with a lazy smile In the glorious brown eyes, and the surprise was quite evidently no sur prise for her. "I told tho waiter to bring mo over here," she explained; and then, quite ""'. fill x T' III mi "But You Believe Me You7" Guilty, Don't rV.n.iVinf 1" itin nliMMilntlnn WDD fairly Jarred out of htm and for tho I in a confidential clerk, moment ho fancied he could feel a cool breeze blowing up tho bnck of his neck. The clairvoyant who did not claim to be a professional was laughing softly. "You told mo onco that n womau was adorable in the exact degree In which 8ho could nltord to be visibly transparent; yes, you said 'afford,' and I've been holding It against you. Now I'm going to pay you back. You nro tho transparent one, this time. You have as good as admitted that the 'hap pening thing isn't a mnn; 'wha-what' always means that, you know; so it must be a woman. Is It tho Miss Rich lander you were telling me about not long ngo?" There are times when any mere man may bo shocked Into telling the tratn, ana omitn naa come iaco w iui-u with one of them. "It Is," he said. "She Is in Brewster?" "Yes. She came this evening." "And you ran away? That was hor ribly unkind, don't you think after she had come so far?" "Hold on," he broke In. "Don't let'a go so fast. I didn't ask her to come. And, besides, she didn't come to see me." -"Did she tell you that?" ""I have taken precious good care that sho shouldn't have the chance. I aw her name and her father's on the hotel register; and Just about that time I remembered that I could prob ably get a bite to eat out here." "You aro queer I All men are a little ejueer, I think always excepting colo-el-daddy. Don't you.want to see her?" "Indeed, I don't 1" Not even for old times' sake?" "No; not oven for old times' sake. ?vo given you tho wrong Impression completely, if you think thero is any pbllgation on my part It might have drifted on to the other things in tho course of time, simply because neither of us might have known any better than to let It drift. But that's ail a back number, now." "Just the same, her coming shocked you." "It certnlnly did," ho confessed Bober ly; and then: "Havo you forgotten what I told you about tho circumstances under which I left home?" "Oh I" sho murmured, and as onco beforo there was a little gasp to go with tho word. Then: "She wouldn't ahe wouldn't' "Any business experience?" "Yes ; I've done some railroad work." "ncro In Browster?" Shaw lied smoothly. MNo; In Omaha." "Any recommendations?" The young man produced a handful of "To Whom It May Concern" letters. They were all on business letterheads, and were apparently genuine, though none of them were local. Smith ran them over hastily and ho had no means of knowing that they hnd been care fully prepared by Crawford Stanton nt no little cost In Ingenuity and painstak ing. How careful tho preparation had been was revealed in tho applicant's ready suggestion. "You enn write or wire to any of these gentlemen," ho said; "only, If there Is a job open, I'd be glad to go to work on trial." The business training of the present makes for quick decisions. Smith b. IEb ILLHbSPIIIws! WftWv' "No," he answered: "she wouldn't; chief clerk." "And You Ran Away?" snapped a rubber band around the let ters and shot them into a pigeonhole of his desk. "We'll give you a chance to show what you can do," ho told the man out of work. "If you measure up to tho requirements, tho Job will be perma- nntlfr Vrm mntf nnrrlA In (AmnvNU I morning and report to Mr. Miller, the but her father would.'' "So her father wanted her to marry the other man, did he?" Smith's laugh was an casing of trains. "You've pumped mo dry," he returned, the sardonic humor reassert ing Itself. A motorcar wob coming up tho drive way. It was high tlmo that an Inter ruption of some sort was breaking In, Hnd when tho colonel appeared and brought Stllllng8 with him to tho loung ing end of tho porch, a business confer ence began which gavo Mtss Corona an excuse to disappear, and which ac eouritcd easily for tho remainder of the fveulng. Having other things to think of, Smith forgot the sleepy-eyed young fel low Instantly. But It Is safo to assume that ho would not have dismissed tho Incident s readily If ho had known that Shaw had been waiting in tho anteroom during tho better part of tho dictating interval, and that on tho do parting applicant's cuffs were micro scopic notes of a number of the more Important letters. CHAPTER XIII. "Sweet Fortune's Minion." It was lato dinner-time when fimlth closed the big roll-top desk In thn new pleasantly: "It Is an exceedingly little world, Isn't It, Montague?" Ho nodded gloomily. "Much too little for a man to hide In." he agreed: adding: "But I think I have known that, all along; known, at least, that It would be only a ques tion of time." After the waiter had taken Miss RIchlnnder's order she began again. "Why did you run away?" she asked. Smith shrtgged his shoulders help lessly. "What else was there for me to do? Besides, I believed, at the time, that I had killed Dunham. I could have sworn ho was dead when I left him." She was toying Idly with the salad fork. "Sometimes I am almost sorry that he wasn't," she offered. "Which Is merely another way of saying that you wero unforgiving enough to wish to see me hanged?" he suggested, with a sour smile. "It wasn't altogether thnt; no." Thero was a pause and then she went on: "I suppose you know what; has been happening since you ran away what has been done in Lawrencevllle, I mean?" "I know that I have been indicted by the grand jury and that there is a re- ,ward out for me. It's two thousand dollars, isn't it?" Sho let the exact figure of tho re ward" go unconfirmed. "And still you are going about In public as If all the hue and cry meant nothing to you? The beard Is an Im provement It makes you look older and more determined but It doesn't disguise you. I should havo known you anywhere, and other people will." Again his shoulders went up. "What's the use?" he said. "I couldn't dig deep enough nor fly high enough to dodge everybody. You have found me, and if you hadn't, somebody else would have. It would havo been the same any time and anywhere." "I was Intending to go on up to the mines with father," she said evenly. "But last evening, while I was waiting for him to finish his talk with some mining men, I was standing in the mez zanine, looking down into the lobby. I saw you go to the desk and leave your key; I was suro I couldn't bo mista ken ; so I told father that I had changed my mind about going out to tho mines and he seemed greatly relieved. Ho had been trying to persuade me that 1 would bo much more comfortable If I should wait for him here." It was no stirring of belated senti ment that made Smith say: "You you cared enough to wish to see mo?" "Naturally," she replied. "Some peo ple forget easily: others don't I sup pose I am ono of the others." Smith remembered tneprovero aooui a woman scorned and saw a menace more to bo feared than all tho terrors of the law lurking In the even-toned rejoinder. It was with some foolish idea of thrusting the menace aside at any cost that ho said : "You have only to send a ten-word telegram to unerin Macauley, you know. I'm not sure that It 'isn't your duty to do so." "Why should yon telegraph Barton Macauloy?" she aBked placidly. "I'm not one of his deputies." "But you bellevo .me guilty, don't you?" Tho handsome shoulders twitched in tho barest hint of Indifference. "As X have Bald, I am not In Bart Maceuley's employ nor In Mr.-Watrous Dun ham's. Neither am I the Judge and Jury to put you In the prisoner's box and try you. I suppose you knew what you were doing, and why you did It But I do think yon might Have written me a line, Montague. That would have been the least yon could have done." For some time afterward the talk wns not resumed. Miss IMchlnwtcr v apparently enjoying her dinner. Smith was not enjoying his, but he ate an a troubled man often will mechanically and as a matter of routine. It was not until tho dessert had been served that tho young woman took up tbe thread of the conversation precisely as If if had never been dropped. "I think you know thnt you have ne reason to be afraid of me, Montague; but I can't say as much for father. Ha will be back In a few days, and when he comes It will bo prudent for you to vanish. That is a future, however." Smith's laugh was brittle. "We'll leave it a future, If you like. 'Sufficient unto tho day Is the evil thereof.' " "Oh; so you class me as an evil, do you?" "No; you know I didn't mean thnt; I merely mean that It's no usb crossing tho bridges before we come to them. I'vo been living from day to day so long now, that I nm becoming hard ened to It." . Again there wns a pause, and again It was Miss Rlchlnnder who broko It The Blow smllo wns dimpling again J the corners of tho perfect mouth. "You are going to need a Ilttlo help, Montague my help aren't you? It occurs to me that you can well afford to show me some little friendly atten tion while I nm Roblnson-Crusoed here waiting for father to come back." "Let mo understand," ho broko In, frowning across the table nt her. "You aro willing to ignore what has hap pened to that extent? You nro not forgetting that In the eyes of the law I nm a criminal?" She made a faint Ilttlo gesture of lm patience. "Why do you persist In dragging that In? I nm not supposed to know anything about your business affairs, with Watrous Dunhnm or anybody else. Besides, no ono knows me here, nnd no ono enres. Besides, ngnln, I am a stranger in a strange city nnd we nre or we used .to be old friends." Her half-cynical tone made him frown ag?ln, thoughtfully, this time. "Wjraen are curious creatures," he commented." "I used to think I knew a little something about them, but 1 guess it was a mistake. What do yon want me to do?" "Oh, anything yon like; anything that will keep me from being bored to death." Smith laid his napkin aside and glanced at his watch. "There Is a play of some kind on at the opera house, I believe," he said, rising and going around to draw her chair aside. "If you'd care to go, I'll see If I can hold somebody up for a couple of Beats." "That Is more like It. I used to be afraid that you hadn't a drop of sport ing blood In you, Montague, and I am glad to learn, even at this late day, that I was mistaken. Take me up stairs, and we'll go to the piny." They left the dining room together, and there was more than one pnlr of eyes to follow them In frank admira tion. "What a strikingly handsome couple," said a bejewelled .lady who sat at the table nearest the door; and. her companion, a gentleman with rest less eyes and thin lips and a rather wicked Jaw, said: "Yes ; I don't know the woman, but? tho man is Colonel Baldwin's new financier; tho fellow who calls himself 'John Smith.' " The bedinmonded lady smiled dryly. "You say that as If you had a mortal quarrel with his name, Crawford. If I wero the girl, I shouldn't find fault with the name. You say you don't know her?" Stanton had pushed his chair back and was rising. "Take your time with the Ice cream, and I'll join you later upstairs. I'm going to find out who tbj girl Is, since you want to know."

Mr. Crawford Stanton a little later went upstairs to rejoin the resplendent lady, who was taking her atter-amner ease In the roost comfortable lounging- chair the mezzanine parlors afforded. "No good," he reported. "The girl's name Is Rlchlnnder, and she or her father comes from one of half a dozen Lawrencevllles' you can take your choice among 'em." "Money?" queried the comfortable one. "Buying mines In the Topaz," said the husband mechanically. He was not thinking specially of Mr. Joslah RIchlnnder's possible or probable rat ing with the commercial agencies; ho was wondering how well Miss Rich- lander knew John Smith, nnd In what manner sho could bo persuaded to tell what she might know.

Tho occasion (v. 14). It was found whllo the work of repairing tho temple was going on. At what part In the templo wo do not know; perhaps' in tho trcasuro house, for It was found whllo bringing out tho money to pay for tho reDulrs. Perhaps this was In or near tho ark, for tho law was usual ly kept in or by the nrk. 2. By whom (v. 14). Hllklah, tho high priest, was tho finder. It Is strange that the high priest was Igno rant of tho placo whero tho law was found. It Is a sad comment upon tho moral and spiritual condition of priests and kings, slnco they wore appointed guardians of God's lnw. It Is, however, always truo that when one docs not want to havo his life ordered by the Bible he will put it out of his sight. Tho disappearance of tho Blblo from our homes, nnd tho, neglect of itvln our study, Is a certain sign of evil In our lives. Be assured, however, that though tho law of tho Lord be removed from our sight It shall sooner or later come beforo us to judge us. (sod has declared that his Word shall not return unto him void, but shall accomplish that whereunto it hath been sent. 3. Its disposition (v. 10). Hllklnh gave the law to Shaphan the scribe, who delivered It to he king along with his" report as to the disposition &f the money which had been collected. II. The Book of the Law Read (vv. 18. 20. 30). 1. To tho king (v. 18). This was a most lmpresslvo scene, the king listening to tho reading of the law of God; It was the proper thing to do, for those appointed by God to rule over the people should be anxious to know the will of God concerning them. The pious king, believing in it as God's Word, was anxious to know God's thought concerning the nation. His Interest became Intense, as he was made conscious of the apostasy of his people from God's law. His chief anxi ety was to know what was God's pur pose as to the nation in view of their Idolatry. It is a sensible thing to make oneself Intelligent as to his responsi bilities, even to know what Judgments shall befall those who have turned from God. Ono should know the worst while there is time yet to escape his wrath, for reoentance is the only door of escape from perdition. 2. To tho people (w. 20, 80). At the direction of the king tho priests, elders and all tho people were called together to hear God's Word read. This was as It ever should bo. People have a right to hear what God has to say to them as well as the king. To keep tho people Ignorant of the Word of the Lord is a great crime. The crying need of the age, with all Its boasted knowledge, fine church equipment and cultured minis try, Is for the Word of God to be brought to the ears of the people. III. The Effect of the Reading of the Law. (w. 20-28; 81-83). When God's Word Is Intelligently read and under stood there Is bound to be an Impres sion made. L The king rent his clothes (v. 10). The man who will honestly listen to the reading of God's Word will be brought to his knees, for he will be con victed of sin, and will take the place of self-abasement before the Lord. The king first saw his own sins and con fessed them. It Is a good sign when one sees his own shortcomings and failures, and not primarily those of others. 2. The king made Inquiry of the Lord through Huldah the prophetess (w. 22 28). His supreme motive in this in quiry was to find out whether there was Bone way to avert the awful Judg ments which were Impending, as set forth in the Word of God. After all, tho humanheart Instinctively turns from threatened woe to inquire wheth er there is not a way of escape. Along side of the flaming, thundering Slnal was placed the Levltlcal system of offerings. Law and grace aro not far removed. The law becomes our school master to bring us to Christ. Through Huldah tho message came that God had taken account of all their sins and that Judgment must fall, but Joslah would bo soared tho Bight of all God's visitation of wrath. Tho penitence of tho king turned aside- God's wrath from himself, but the nation would be obliged to suffer for its awful apostasy. 8. Tho king mado a covenant (w. 81, 82). This was to the effect that he would walk in tho commandments of the Lord. He also made the people stand to this covenant He no doubt acted from the sincerity of his heart 4. Further reforms (r. 83). Joslah now reached out as far as the national boundaries, took away their abomina tions and made Israel to serve the Lord their God. The fact that the book of the law was found Implies that It had been lost The way it had been lost Is not definitely set forth, but nu merous ways may be suggested. The Bible is a lost book to many professing Christians today, maybe through lack of interest In It, willful neglect or neg lect through tbe stress of life's bust neas and pleasures. May we not each one Inquire as to whether our Bibles larelost?'

MONEY LENDER PITIED POOR Chinese Shylock In Manchuria Qavs Annual 8um for Relief Work to Relieve His Conscience. A wealthy Chinese money lender in Manchuria was recently convicted of mnklng false declaration regarding robberies of his caravans by Mongolian bandits. His consclenco troubled him to such an extent that ho offered to contribute an annual sum of $760 for the relief of the poor, East and West says. This money was made the basis of a fund for feeding the helpless at Kungchullng. ' , Manchuria Is terribly poor, despite) the mineral and agricultural riches ex tracted from its soil and rocks, all of which products are shipped abroad, rhere are probably thousands of Indus trious natives unable, by unremitting toll, to earn more than a meager liv ing.
