CHAPTER IV.
The law offices of Kn..ght ! ' , Kittredgs
& Carr were tucked away in the rear
of an old building that stood at the
apex of a triangle. The firm had been
tenants of the same rooms for many :
years. There was a battered tin sign
at the entrance , but its inscription :
could be read only by persons who re-
membered it from bygone days. Knight
' and Kittredge had been prominent in
State politics during and immediately
following the Civil War. They were
dead now , but Carr , who had left poli-
tics to his partners , survived , and he
had changed nothing in the offices.
In the old days it had been the cus-
tom of the members of the firm of
Knight , Kittredge & Carr to assemble
every morning at 8 o'clock In the li -
brary for a brief discussion of the
news of the day , or for a review of
the work that lay before them. The
young men who were fortunate enough
to be tolerated in the offices had al-
ways enjoyed these discussions im-
mensely , for Governor Kittredge and
Senator Knight had known men and
manners as well as the law ; and Mi I
chael Carr knew Plato and the Greek I
and Latin poets as he knew the way
home.
These morning conferences were still
continued in Morris Leighton's day ,
though Knight and Kittredge had long
been gone. It might be a topic from
the day's news that received attention , I
or some new book-Michael Carr was
a persistent novel reader-or it might
be even a bit of social gossip that was
discussed. Mr. Carr was a man of de-
liberate habits , and when he set apart
this half-hour for a talk with his
young ; men , as he called them , it made
no difference that the president of a
'great railway cooled his heels in the
outer office while the Latin poets were
discussed in the library , or that othe-
dignified Caucasians waited while ne
gro suffrage was debated.
Ezra Dameron was waiting for him
this morning , for it was the first of
October ; and on the first of every
month Ezra Dameron went to the of-
fices to discuss his personal affairs. He
was of an . economical turn , and he
made it a point to combine as many
questions as possible in a single con .
sultation. His relations with the of-
fices were of long standing and dated
back to a day when Knight , Kittredge
& Carr were a new firm and Ezra
Dameron was a young merchant whom
people respected , and whose prospects
in life were bright.
While Ezra Dameron waited for Mi
chael Carr , Rodney Merriam was walk-
ing slowly from his house in Seminary
Square down High street to Jefferson ,
swinging his stick , and gravely return-
ing the salutations of friends and ac-
quaintahces. He came presently to
the offices of Knight , Kittredge & Carr.
He stepped into the reception-room
and found it empty. The door into the
library was closed but he could hear
Carr's voice ; and he knew that the
lawyer was holding one of those morn-
ing talks with his clerks : and students
that Morris Leighton had often de-
scribed. He. looked about with inter-
est and then crossed the hall. The J
doors of three private offices were
closed , but he turned the knob of the a
one marked in small black letters "Mr.
r
Carr : : : , " and went in. t
Ezra Dameron was still looking out
of the window when the door was r
lung open. He supposed Carr had
come : , and having been gazing out into
s
he sunny court , his sight did not ac- 1
ommodate : itself at once to the dim
v
light of the little room.
"Ah , Mr. Carrhe began.
"Good-morning , Ezra , " said Rodney n
Merriam , , blandly. Dameron knew the
n
oice before he recognized his brother- 1
n-law , and after a second's hesitation i
ic advanced with a great air of cor- i
liality.
"Why , Rodney , what brings you into
he haunts of the law ? I thought you
vere a man who never got into trou-
le. I'm waiting for Mr. Carr. I have
standing appointment with him this o
ame : day every month-excepting t ;
undays , of course. " o
"So I have understood. I don't want
o see Mr. : Carr , however ; I want to .
ee you. " t
Dameron glanced at his brotherino
aw anxiously. He had believed Mer-
iam's appearance to be purely acci- 0
ental , and he was not agreeably diss ;
.ppointed to find that he had been
nistaken. He looked at the little clock b
m Carr's desk , and was relieved to bi
ind that the lawyer would undoubt- a
idly : appear in a few minutes. w
"I should be glad , at any other time , is i
lodney , but Mr. Carr is very particu-
ir about his appointments. "
b >
"I have heard Ezra.Vhat
so , What I '
'i i s
lave [ to say to you will not interfere
irith your engagement with Mr. Carr. .
yi
is near as I can rem'ember , it has been h
en years since I enjoyed a conversa-
on with you. "
"Better let the old times go I - I - D
m willing to let them go , Rodney. " u
"And on that last occasion , if my h :
aemory serve me , I believe I told you h
hat infernal " tl
you were an scoundrel. .
tld.
"You were very violent , very unjust ; d. . ,
mt let it all go , Rodney. I treasure m
O unkind feelings. " '
.
"It would be source of real annoy-
nce : to me to have you think for a
loment that I have changed my mind. tl
want to have a word with you about t \ .
elda. She has chosen to go to live w
-ith you- " ti
"Very loyal , very noble of her. I'm tl-
Ire I appreciate it. " , IT
"I hope you do. She doesn't under- tl
tand what a contemptible hound you di
re , and I don't intend to tell her. And h <
ou m'ay be quite sure that her Aunt fr
Ilia will never tell her how you T
eated her mother-how you made her te
fe [ a curse to her. I don't want you g :
I think that because I have let you p4 <
one these ten years I have forgotten tl
. forgiven you. I wouldn't trust you o if ,
I do anything that demanded the low- bi i
st sense of honor or manhood. "
There was no sign of anger or even tlhi
esentment : in Ezra's face. His Inevlt- hi

able smile died away in a sickly grin ,
but he said nothing.
"With this little preface I think you
will understand that what I have
sought you out for is not to ask favors
but to give orders , in view of Zee's re-
turn. "
"But , Rodney , Rodney-that matter
needs no discussion. I shall hope to
make my daughter happy in her fath-
er's house - I am her natural protect-
"
or-
"You are indeed ; but a few instruc-
tions from me will be of great assist-
ance , Ezra. To begin with , I want you
to understand that ' the first time I
hear you have mistreated that girl or
in any way made her uncomfortable I
shall horsewhip you in front of the
postoffice. The second time I shall cow-
hide you in your own house , and the
third offense I shall punish either by
shooting you or taking you out and
dropping you into the river , I haven't
decided which. I expect you to pro-
vide generously for her out of the
money her mother left her. If you
haven't squandered it there ought to
be a goodly sum by this time. "
"I fear she has acquired expensive
tastes abroad. Julia always spent
money wastefully. "
"You ugly hypocrite , talking about
expensive tastes ! I suppose you have
let everybody you know imagine that
it has been your money that has kept
Zee abroad. It's like you , and you're
certainly a consistent beast. As I was
saying , I mean that you shall treat her
well , not according to your own ideas ,
but mine. I want you to brace up and
try to act or look like a white man.
You've got to keep : enough servants in
that old shell of yours to take care of
it. You must be .immensely rich by
this time. You haven't spent any
money for twenty years ; and you've
undoubtedly profited well in your
handling of what Margaret left Zee.
That was like Margaret , to make you
trustee of her child's property , aftsr
the dog's life you had led her ! You :
may be sure that it wasn't because she
had any confidence in you , but because
she had borne with you bravely , and
it was like her to make an : outward
show of respect for you from the
grave. And I suppose she hoped you
might be a man at last for the girl's
sake. The girl's her mother over
again ; she's a thoroughbred. And yon
- I suppose God tolerates you on earth J
merely to make Heaven more attrac-
tive. "
j
Merriam at no time raised his voice ;
the Merriams were a low-spoken fam-
ily ; and when Rodney Merriam was J1
quietest he was most dangerous.
Voices could be heard now across the °
hall. The morning conference was at
an end ; and Michael Carr crossed to s
s
his room at twenty-five minutes be-
fore nine , and opened the door in the z.
full knowledge that Ezra Dameron was
waiting for him. Many strange things :
had happened in the offices of Knight ,
Kittredge & Carr ; but Michael Carr f
"
had long ago formed the habit of see-
ing everything-and saying nothing. ri
"Good morning , gentlemen , " he said , 5
1
affably , and shook hands with both
c
men.
si
"I have just been warning Ezra
Q.
against overwork , " said Merriam : , com Q.oi
posedly. : "At Ezra's age a man ought oitl :
to ' , check himself ; he ought to let other
Je
people , use the hammer and drive the tc ;
nails. "
r
"Rodney always had his little joke , " a
said ; Dameron , and laughed a dry ai
augh : that showed his teeth in his very
unpleasant smile.
Merriam wished both gentlemen a
satisfactory disposition of their busi-
ness. It was , of course , a perfectly IT
natural thing for him to drop into a
s ; ,
aw office on a pleasant October morn-
ng and , meeting there a connection of n
lis family hold with ai
, converse him on aib
natters of common interest. Michael b >
Harr was not , however , a dull man , G
md he understood perfectly that fod0 > :
ley Merriam had decided to resume 01n
liplomatic : relations with Ezra Damer- '
V I
jn ; and he rightly guessed the reason
o be the return of Margaret Damer- C :
n's daughter to her father's house. OC
Merriam : found Morris Leighton at
vork in the library. ' The young man at
hrew down his book in surprise as the de [
Id gentleman darkened the door. ca
"The date shall be printed in
red ink :
al 1
m the office wall ! I never expected to al
ee you here ! " th
"It 'may never happen again , my
oy. Is this all you have to do , read 00 (
ooks ? I sometimes wish I had been
lawyer. Nothing to do but read and si
rite ; it's the easiest business there
. "
.
s.
. . ra
"Mr. : Carr would like to see you ; I'd " ]
e glad to call him-except that this
Ie
; his morning with Mr. : Dameron. " "
"To be sure it is ; but don't trouble
ourself. I've seen both of them , any50
"
ow. ql
"Oh ! "
"I just happened in and found Mr. "a
Dameron waiting ; so I amused him
ntil : Mr. : Carr appeared. You still
lave your historic morning round-up
ere. < I . There

I so Zelda assured him , had one ; and it
would undoubtedly be of service to her
in many ways. Her real purpose was
to place herself in communication with
her aunt and uncle , whose help she
outwardly refused but secretly leaned
on.
on.Zelda
Zelda did not disturb the black wom-
an in the kitchen , though she emploj'ed
a house-maid to .supplement her ser-
vices ; but she labored patiently to cor-
rect vgome of the veteran Polly's dis-
tressing faults. Polly was a good cook
in the haphazard fashion of her kind.
She could not read , so that the cook
books which Zelda bought were of no
use to her. She shook her head over
"book cookin' , " but Zelda , who dimly
remembered that her mother had spent
much time in the kitchen , bought a
supply of aprons and gave herself per-
sistently to culinary practice. Or , she
sat and dictated to Polly from one of
the recipe books while that amiable
soul mixed the ingredients ; and then ,
after the necessary interval of fear and
hope , they opened the oven door and
peered in anxiously upon triumph or
disaster.
A horse was duly purchased at Lex-
ington , on an excursion planned and
managed by Mrs. Carr. They named
the little Hambletonian Xanthippe ,
which Zelda changed to Zan , at her
uncle's suggestion. It was better , he
said , not to introduce any more of the
remoter letters of the alphabet into
the family nomenclature ; and as they
already had Z it would be unwise to
add X. Moreover , it was fitting that
Zee should own Zan !
The possession of the pretty brown
mare and a runabout greatly increa . ' . : d
Zelda's range of activities. Her uncle
kept a saddle horse and he taught her
how to ride and drive. He also , under
Ezra Dameron's very eyes , had the old
barn reconstructed , to make a proper
abiding place for a Kentucky horse of
at least decent ancestry , and employed
a stable-boy.
Zelda became daily. more conscious
of her father's penurious ways , that
were always cropping out in the petty
details of the housekeeping. One even-
.
ing when he thought himself unob-
served , she saw him walking down .the
front stairway , avoiding the carpet on
the treads with difficult care. Zelda
did not at first know what he was do-
ing ; but she soon found this to be
only one of his many whimsical econ-
omies. He overhauled the pantry no\v
and then , making an inventory of the
amount of flour , sugar and coffee in
stock , and he still did a part of the
marketing. Zelda had given the black
stable-boy orders that Zan was to be
fed generously ; and when she found
that her father was giving contrary
directions she said nothing , but con-
nived with the boy in the purchase of
hay and corn to make good the defi-
ciency caused by her indulgence.
Late one afternoon she drove to a
remote quarter of town in pursuit of a
laundress that had failed her. She
concluded her arrand and turned Zan
; "
homeward : ' , but lost her way in seeking
to : avoid a railway track on which a
,
line of freight cars blocked her path.
She came upon a public school build-
ing , which" presented a stubborn front
to : a line of shops and saloons on the
opposite side of a narrow street. Two
boys were engaged in combat on the
sidewalk ; at the school-house entrance ,
surrounded by a ring of noisy parti-
zans. : A young woman , a teacher , Zel-
da took her to be , hurried toward the J
scene ; of trouble from the school-house
door , and at her approach the ring of
spectators dispersed in disorder , leav-
ng the combatants alone , vainly spar1 1
ring for an advantage before they , too ,
fielded the field. Zelda unconscious-
ly drew in her horse to watch the con-
1
clusion of matters. The young woman
tepped between the antagonists with-
.
jut parley , catching the grimy fists of
ne of the boys in her hands , while
he other took to his heels amid the II
ieers of the gallery. Zelda heard the
eacher's voice raised in sharp rap1
imand as she dismissed the lad with
wave of her hand that implied -an
uthority not to be gainsaid.

Ills Treasurer Knew. :
He who goes into politics must 'e-
nember what he is recorded to have
aid , for it is the habit of the sharp
osed < public to search out past utter- Ii
nces and hold the candidate responsi-
le ] for them. John Burns , says Mr.
Jrubb in his life of that labor leader , IS !
nce made the slip of remarking that
10 < .man was worth more than 5PO a 1 !
ear. Accordingly , when he became a
abinet member with a salary of 2-
iOO , he was obviously open to attack. :
When he first met his constituents
t Battersea after he was made presi- 13
ent of the local government board a
andid friend recalled the statement
.bout a man's worth by calling out in
he middle of his speech :
"Wot abaht that 'ere salary of .t2- .

Mr. : Burns was equal to the occat
on.

If the red squirrel is inclined to de- '
stroy moth nests he can perhaps be
made a powerful ally in the work.
The Record this week secured what
seems to be confirmation of this dis
covery : by a case on Hfgh street whero
two red squirrels have their home.
Last year only seven nests were found
on the trees in the vicinity of the
home of these squirrels , and this year
when the nests are twenty times as
thick in other places , only four are
found in the same trees. It would be
desirable for all who have opportunity
to observe the habits of red squirrels
to note what they have done in other
places in clearing trees of browntaij
nests. - Brunswick Record.

a critical condition
for two years. My
back was so sore and
painful I could not
turn in bed. I had
chills and hot flashes
and became so dizzy
I scarcely dare walk.
My feet and ankles
were so badly swoll
en I could not wear
my shoes nor leave the house. My'
kidneys were in very bad shape , 1\IY"
I had great trouble with the secre-

Doan's Kidney Pills , however , cured A
me and the cure has been perma-
