CHAPTER XVIII. ( 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. "
. . . '

"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

I Merriam Dameron.
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.

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

"I went away from there. I do not

Low Rates to State Fair.
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.
