Smith, cspecinllf In this Inter Incnr
nntlon which hnd bo tndlcnlly chnnged
klm, believed ns.llttle In the psychic ns
any hardhended young business icono
elnBt of no agnostic century could. 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

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.

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

"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

"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-

"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."

CHAPTER XIV.
Broken Threads.
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. While he was
turning It over In his mind the two In
question, Smith and the young woman,
passed through the lobby on their way
to the theater. Stanton, watching them
narrowly from tho vantage-point af
forded- by. tho gallerled - mezzanine,
iirflw huV own conclusions. By all the
little signs they were not merely chanct
acquaintances or even casual friends.'
Their ' relations were closer and of
longer standing.
Stanton puzzled over his problem a
long time, long after Mrs. Stanton had
forsaken the easy chair and bad dlsap-
neared from the scene. His Eastern
employers were growing irascibly Im
patient Who was this fellow Smith,
and what was his backing? they were
beginning to ask; and with the asuing
there were intimations that if Mr.
Crawford Stanton were finding his task
too difficult, there was always an
tentative.

FINDING THE BOOK OF THE LAW.
LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles 24:14-33.
GOLDEN TEXT-I will not forget thy
tford. Paa. 11:16.
1. The Book of the Law Found (vv.
14-17), 1. 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?' "

ing. When to their natural difficulties
aro added tho ravages of bnndlts and
tho evils of mlsgovernment, such as
now prevails In many parts of China,
abject poverty and starvation must be
the lot of the people who, in the best
of times, aro only half fed.
