( Continued. ) He waited , to study his ground a little , and he glanced at Leighton , as though to make sure that the young man had not deserted him. "Father is a little forgetful some- times , " said Zelda. "He isn't a young man , you must remember. " The sym pathy with which she spoke mad Merriam uncomfortable ; and Leighton moved uneasily. It was not a pleas ant task-that of telling a young wom an that her father was a rascal. "But while the order of court can be procured and Injury to the purchaser prevented , there is another side of the matter that we must consider. " "Yes , uncle" - - and she smiled a little forlornly. She knew that she should meet the blow bravely when it fell ; but it hurt her now to feel her uncle's kindness. "It hurts me-Zelda , it hurts me more than I can tell you , to have to say that all is not quite clear about this transaction. Your father has sold at an extraordinary price. I fear that he is in difficulties. In this real estate matter you have your remedy. It is of . this that I wish to speak particularly. It Is only right that I should protect you if I can. " "You are very kind ; you are always good to me , Uncle Rodney. " "The failure to get the court's ap proval of the sale of the real estate makes it possible for us to save it- this one piece , maybe , though nearly ! ; : all the rest Is gone-to get it back , per haps. The situation Is not agreeable. Your father received the money and I am afraid he has made ill use of it But we may find it possible to set this : sale aside , or get an additional sum from the purchaser " Merriam was looking Intently at the floor as he spoke these sentences. He was suddenly aware that Zelda had risen and crossed the room until she stood before him , with flaming cheeks and flashing eyes. He unconsciously ! i rose and drew away from her. It seem ed to Leighton that the air in the room grew tense. The girl stood between the two men , her lips parted , one hand on the back of a chair. "Uncle Rodney , I never thought that you would-insult me-in your own house-under the pretense of kind- ness ! I should like to know what you gentlemen mean , and what you : think I am-that I should listen to such things from you ! To think that I should be welling to take advantage of the law to defraud some one , on the theory that my father was defrauding me-steal- Ing from me , I suppose you mean ! " "Zee , one moment- " "No , sir ! I shall hear no more from you. I never want to see you again- either of you ! " She had spoken brok- enly , and the last three words came slowly : , with a kind of hiss. "But be- , fore I go , I wish to say something to you , to ease your feelings of pity for me. It was by : my request-and : > y my order-that father sold that prop- erty ; and he gave me the money-do you understand ? - gave me the ' money f - it-and I have spent it-all of it- : " She was gone so quickly that the front door clammed on her last word , as though to add to the contempt that . it carried. CHAPTER XI2L Zelda had carried in her heart for weeks the fear of some such disclosure as that which she had just heard from her uncle. In he ignorance of busi- ness , she had not even vaguely guess- ed what had taken so strong a hold upon her father. He had acted stran - e- ly during the long summer , but sho ; had attributed his vagaries to the 1 l-i- firmity ( of years. Zelda went at once to the living- room where her father usually sat with his newspaper , but he had not come home ; and she went up to her own room , glad of a respite. .She had acted her part so long ; she had de fended him in her own heart and by her own acts ; she had even sought TO clothe him in her thoughts with some- ' thing of the d gnity , the nobility even , of honorable age ; but this was now at an end. It was "clear that a crisis had been reached ; and while the pure- ly business aspect of the situation did not trouble her at all , she felt that hdl' relations with her father could never again be the same. She had been shielding him , not from the contempt of her kindred , but from her own dis- trust : as well ; and now that this was at an end , she went slowly to her room with a new feeling of isolation in her heart She made a light and put aside her b -t and coat with the studied care that we give to little things in our perplex- ities. Then she unlocked the drawr of her desk in which she kept her mother's book. It opened at the page that : had meant so much to her , that had been her guide and her command , and she pondered the sentences anew. When she heard her father come In she went down In her street dress , with the : little book in her pocket , slow ) : . ' and with no plan formed. He stood with his back to the flame , his hands behind him , and regarded : Zelda warily , in a way that had grown habitual of late. "Where have you been , Zee ? " he asked. "I went down to Zimmer's to look at some ; pictures they are showing there ; and on my way home I stopped at Un- cle Rodney's. " "Ah , yes : ; ' your Uncle Rodney. I haven't seen him since. he came home. ! : " He did not seek the evening paper with his wonted eagerness when they returned to the sitting-room after din- ner , but continued talking. "There are some business matter-j that I should like ! to speak of to-night , Zee. " ' "Very well , father. " "As to your affairs , the trusteeship established ; by your dear mother is nearly at an end. It expires by the limitations of your mother's will on your twenty-first birthday that 1.1. to - morrow. " . . . ' 1 . - . . .II'WI..j > M - - - - - ' - , - . - "Yes ; I believe that Is so. " He looked at her quickly ; he found her composure disquieting. Perhaps Rodney Merriam had been giving her counsel ! "As we have Just said-and I was glad to find you agreeing with - a woman does well to let business alone. There Is an Immense amount of detail ' connected with an estate-even a com paratively small one , like your moth er's. There are many accounts to ke-3i . I have kept them for years In my own way. I am not an expert accountant , but I hope that my work Is accurate. At any time that you would like to p.t- amine the books , I should be glad .o aid you - " "Thank you-yes , of course , " said ! Zelda , hurriedly. She had been think ing of other things ; but she now fixed her attention upon what her father was saying. "I have thought Zee that perhaps you would like to continue this trus : ; : teeship. No one' else understands the. . nature of the property so well as I. I I have given the best years of my life to studying it. The burden is a consid erable one for my years. I am nearing ; 70-but if you would like to have mo go on , I should be willing to do so. Your dear mother gave me her entire confidence ; It would please me If I could feel that your : own trust in me was equally great. "I suppose there Is no hurry about it , father. It would be just as well for me to go over the whole matter at the time of the change. " , She spoke care lessly , but a bitterness had begun to creep Into her heart. The contempt that she had smothered for a year-now ceased to be a smoldering ember and i leaped into flame. "I wished to propose that myself , " he replied , smiling. "And I will tell you now what I had expected to con- ceal until your birthday , of a little gift I am making you. I have placed two thousand dollars to your credit at the bank. It is subject to your : check. It is from my own estate , of course. I should hardly make you a present - > f ' " your own money. . ' "You are very kind ; it Is a hand some gift ; but I think we'd better put It into the new trusteeship. Then I shall not be tempted Into extrava- gances. " He had expected some exuberant ex- pression of pleasure ; but she had spoken coldly , and her manner trou- bled him. He took from the table a brown paper parcel and opened ; t , carefully untying the knot In the tape which fastened it. "I think you have never seen a copy of your mother's will , Zee-unless per- haps your Uncle Rodney has shown it to you. " "No ; I have never seen it , " she an- swered. He unfolded a copy of the last will and testament of Margaret Dameron carefully , and then refolded it length- wise to remove the creases for greater convenience in examining it. He pro ceeded with an exaggerated delibera tion. : A man likes to mystify a worrusn about business matters ; his own wis- dom grows refulgent in the dark re - - . cesses of her ignorance. Dameron read his wife's will through , and ZeMa listened attentive ly , though feof , the terms meant anything to her , and. the numbers of , lots and the names of additions , divis ions and subdivisions were only rigma role. Her father paused now and then to make some comment on an ; , item , ex- plaining more fully what wasmeant. . Either her uncle had deceived : her Er : tier father was lying ; and she knew that her uncle had told the truth. The situation cleared for her slowly. His request for a continuation of the trus : teeship veiled his wish to keep : her af fairs in his own hands , without a break. It was a clever plan and in an impersonal way she admired his tl- dacity. "You understand , " her father contin ued , "that the personal , property-that means stocks , bonds and. so on - \v . is to be sold and the proceeds reim'ested is. I saw fit. It was necessary lo change most of It-I had no option hi the matter. Your grandfather , . Zee , tmd been one of the early railroad ouilders in this part of the csuntry , ind the original small independent .ines have . all been merged into great systems. It should be a matter of p i ride to you that your grandfather was . a man so far-seeing and progressive. But now , his children and their chil- dren derive the benefit I recall that a representative in Congress from our State was defeated for re-electts > n back in the ' 40s , for voting an appropria tion to aid Morse in his experiments tvith the telegraph. They charged him , tvith wasting the people's money. But times change , and men change with them ! " He sighed , and thethin leaves of his opy of the will rustled in his fingers is he sought the place where he had : Iropped his reading. He lingered 0\- : ? the words that described the nature of the trust. They vrere very sweet to tiim , because they were at once a jus- tification of himself and a refutation sf the slanders of his wife's family. He knew , too , that they gave emphasis to the suggestion that he was noiv making to Zelda , that she renew the trusteeship. He wished to put this is much as possible in the light of a [ avor to the girl. "I am very sorry that my friend and counsel , Mr. : Carr , Is absent , as I should like to have him prepare the new deed of trust He Is a man of the highest probity. He is the ablest law yer at our bar. In Mr. : Carr's absence I have not thought it wise to take an- other attorney into our confidence. I have prepared a d'eed of trust myself. Shall I read the deed ? " "Yes , please , " said Zelda. "I should like to hear it. " He had , as he said , copied the form of a trust deed that was well-known imong local lawyers. As a trust deed It ; was absolutely above reproach , save only that neither . the property as 7. , .rr - , : - _ .fJ _ _ ( a- . . . . - J. - .

Zelda sat inert , listening l to the t " , - cital , as her father read with delib ' ; r- ation a.id with due regard for the w- ' norous legal phrases. He even read through the notarial certificate ; and then he drew off his glasses and set tled back in his chair with a satisfied air. He hoped that Zelda would dis- cuss some of the provisions , or ask ] : questions , so that he might be assured that she suspected nothing. Zelda said nothing. He rose and fir ! ' ftr bled with the pen and Ink that lay a x the table by the inkstand , while ho waited for her to speak. The silence grew oppressive ; the girl had always responded quickly In their talk. He turned , holding the pen In his hand. "I suggest that you : look the papsr over before signing , Zee. " He held the paper toward her , but she shook her head. "Very well. I have read it to you carefully ; and you can , of course , have a copy at any time. It is perfectly ! ; proper for you to sign to-night-the day before your birthday ; you can ac knowledge it before a notary to-mor row. " He was smiling , but he held the pen toward her with a hand that shook perceptibly. Repulsion and pity strug gled for the mastery as she pondered , looking away 'from him into the fire. She felt that she could never mee/ his , eyes again ; but she seemed to see them in the flames , the small gray eye ; s that were so full of cunning and avar ice. It was his deceit , his effort to play upon her credulity , that stimg her now into a fierce contempt. She rosa and turned toward him. "I wish you would not lie to me , Ez ra Dameron , " she said , quietly , with ! even the suggestion of a caress upon the syllables of his name. ( To be continued. ) FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOKS. . Sheets of Horn Protected the Pagea from Soiled Fingers. The earliest English book for chil dren was "The Babies' Book or a Lyttl Report of How Young People Should Behave. " The horn books ex isted in Elizabeth's reign. The writ ing was covered with a sheet of horn in order to protect the lettering from contact with dirty fingers. The chap book contained most of the familiar nursery rhymes and sto ries which have appertained to nurs- ery lore for generations. They ex- hibit very crude woodcuts often daubed with inappropriate color and the commonest paper as a rule \ \ ; as used. They were hawked about u/ the chapman or peddler and cost only a few pence apiece. ' They served to perpetuate such fa- " of Six miliar ditties as "Sing a Song pence " which dates from the six- teenth century ; "Three Blind Mice , " in use , with music , in 1609 ; "The Frog and the Mouse , " in existence in 1580 and "Girls and Boys , Come out to Play , " which was sung by the vil lagers in the time of Charles II. "Lit- tle- ; Jack Horner , " we know is older than the seventeenth century , . and last , but not least , "Lucy Locket " the tune from which originated "Yankee Doo dle. " A few t of what were called "battle- door books" have been handed down ' three-leaved cards - to us. They were which were folded , up into oblong locket shaped volumes. . These taught reading and numerals in the dame schools in town and country. The lit- tle gilt books , as they were called adorned on the outside with gilt Dutch paper-colored flowers , . were much prized gift books of that period. Chil- dren were employed coloring such pic- Lure books by hand , one child doing all the red in the series of illustra- tions , another all the blue , and so on. Of ) course they gained precision : by repetition , but we very often find . the . tints overlapping , as if cazried out by hand. - London an inexperienced . : Queen. ; _ _ SIMPLE LANGUAGE .

The Union Pacific has announnced a rate of 1 cent a mile for state fair travel. This is the third year un der the 2 cents a mile law that the Union Pacific has cut the rate in lialf In past years it has not been followed . by other roads. The regular conven tion rate of one and one-half fares . has been applied by other Nebraska ' roads. They have argued that when the regular rate was 3 cents ' a mfle they made a half rate , making the rate the same as that made now. The state fair and the Lincoln Commer cial club , in making the request for the reduced rate in 1908 , asked for ; a fare and a half. After a long struggle , during which the rate was made and recalled , two or three roads granted the rate asked. The Union Pacific held out. Finally that road announced ) the half fare rate. The Burlington and the Northwest ern roads have filed notice of state fair rates , naming a fare and one-halt for the round trip this year. The Bur lington has announced its schedule of special state fair trains and it is un derstood the other roads will run spe cial trains , giving the best service from the widest territory on the days , when aviation events promise to be the most interesting. It Is announced that the Burlington will give shuttle train service again this year between the depot and the fair grounds. Lots of Automobiles. , , 'During the year from August 1 , 1909 , ; to August 1 , 1910 , 5,700 automobiles were registered in the office of the sec- retary of state. A great number of these automobiles have been bought by Nebraska farmers. An automobile is not only useful as a method of re laxation and recreation alter a nerve racking day in the office , but is fast assuming the position of a necessity in the every day life of the people o ? a great agricultural commonwealth. In recognition of this fact the man- agers of the state fair have set apart the old live stock pavilion as an au tomobile building and the demand for space therein has been so great that a big show is assured. As a feature of fair entertainments an automobile parade will be held in tfie afternoon of Friday , September 9 , when for the best decorated automobile , will be given cash prizes , $30 to first , $25 to second , $20 to third , $15 to fourth and $10 to fifth. County Agricultural Exhibits. Twenty-two counties have entered agricultural exhibits at the state fair. This insures the continuation . of the fact that Nebraska wJU again have the finest agriculturalfWhiblt shown at any fair in the - United States ' for 1910. Others that claim to be leading agricultural states often wonder how Nebraska maintains the first position in agricultural product display. The state Is divided into three districts. The eastern being bounded on the west by the west line of the following counties ; Kno : , Piefrce ' , Madison Colfax , Butler , Sew- ard , Saline and Jefferson. The cen- tral section being all counties west of above mentioned line and east of the west line of Holt , Garfield , Custer , Dawson , Gosper and Furnas. The western division being all counties west of said line. Four Silver Cups for Cattlemen. Secretary Mellor of the state fair board has received four magnificent silver cups which are offered by ' the Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha ) : as special ' prizes at the live stock show at the state fair. Each cup is worth $100. One is for the best beef bull of the show , all breeds and ages , another for the , best begf cow of the show , all breeds and ages , the third cup is for the best fat steer of the show , grade and pure breeds , all breeds and ages and the fourth is for the -best calf herd of the show , all breeds. Joe Bartos State Bank Examiner. Joe ' 'Bartos , a banker of Wilber and a brother of Senator F. "W. Bartos , has been appointed state bank exaihiner. The banking board comprises Auditor Barton , Treasurer Brian and Attorney General Thompson. The -board ap pointed Mr. Bartos by unanimous vote , Assistant Attorney General George Ayers has returned from North Platte where he obtained a dissolution ot the injunctions issued by the county judge of Scotts Bluff county. Under the order of dissolution issued by Judge Grimes the state board of irri gation is no longer restrained from closing the headgates of the Enter prise irrigation district , and Secretary E. C. Campbell and Under Secretary Runey Campbell ; both employed : by the state board of Irrigation , are no longer enjoined from closing the head gates of the Enterprise. Missouri Teachers on Vacation.
