CHAPTER XX. - ( Continued. ) She knew that Mrs. Copeland had In- trusted Li'elgrhton with no such met sage for she was on telephonic terms wifli fcelda , and Morris Leighton was of rather heroic proportions for an e r - rand boy. "Mr Copeland would never forffiv < me If I forgot said Morris , widhinj to prolong his moment at the door. "I hall come if I can , " said Zelda , rai.ilntf her voice slightly , so that hCilr father might hear. "And I apologize again for disturb Ing. But I feared Mrs. Copeland'i wrath ; " and Morris grinned ratho ; foolishly. "You are a faithful messenger , and I thank you very much , " said Zelda , formaJSy ; but when the door closed 01 him ftfad she heard his step on the walk the tears sprang to her eyes in her Joy at the thought that he had remem- bered ! When she went back to her fathai he was poring over his papers at the table. "It wa that Leighton fellqw. I don' ; like hintj" said Dameron , sharply. 'Tm very sorry , " said Zelda. "I don't like him , " the old man 1'0- peated ; and he did not raise his eyes , but kept them upon the papers. "What dreadful liars we are you and 1 , Ezra Dameron , " she said , going back to her old post my the mantel. "Y u have used language to me that Is infamous , blasphemous , from a child to a father. " "Very likely , " she said ; "but I can't discuss these things with you any fur ther. Lelghton's appearance had broken the spell ; it had given her new cour- age and assurance , though it had not lifted the burden from her heart. Her father was loath to part with her ; there was the extension of the trustee- ship to be effect ; he was about to I make an appeal to her , throwing him- self on her mercy , when she said , half- turning to go : "You need not be afraid-I . will sign your deed. And I have not the slight est Idea of holding you to account for any of your acts. Only - only" - and her eyes filled and her voice broke- "only you must never speak my moth- er's name to me again ! " "Yes ; yes , I understand , " he said , absently ; though it was clear that he I , did not know wbat she meant. She turned and looked at him mus- ingly , with a composure that was com- plete ; but a barrier in her heart broke down suddenly. "My girlhood , the beautiful ignor- ance of life , has all gone now. It be- gan to go as soon as I came home Lo live with you ; but I wish-I wish-it had not gone-so wretchedly } , so cruel- ly. Good night. . . She spoke with difficulty , and he saw that she was deeply moved ; and even after the rustle of her skirts had died away In the to.ll above he stood look- Ing after her , and listening and won- dering. Then he opened a bundle of papers containing his computations and over them in deep absorption. "She will sign it ; she will sign it , " he repeated , though he did not raise his head. He went In and closed the door , mut- tering , "The corn ! The corn ! " . CHAPTER XXI. At midnight Leighton sat In the old house In Seminary Square debating the situation with Rodney Merriam. "What we said to her this afternoon evidently failed to arouse her. She either doesn't understand , or she doesn't care. " "She understands perfectly , " said Merriam ; "but it's quite like her to wish to shield him. Her mother did It before her. It's a shame for the money to have gone so ; but it was in- evitable , and I'm glad it's over now. " Morris was silent. Rodney Merriam was growing old and the thought of It touched him deeply , for Rodney Mer riam was his best friend , a comrade , an elder brother , who stood to him for manliness and courage , much as Carr represented In his eyes scholarship and professional attainment. "You never saw Zelda' mother ? " asked Merriam , presently. "No. " "Your father and my sister were once engaged to be married , " said Mer- riam. "Your father was my intimate friend , Morris. We were boys togeth- er at college - it's your college and mine , too. Fm glad you went there. Your father would have liked it so. Some of the fellows who taught us , taught you. When you saw them you saw gentlemen and scholars. They gave up the chance of greater things to stay there among the elms and ma- ales of the old campus. "Your father moved here. He was an ambitious man. There waa every Ikelihood of his taking a high place at the : bar ; and he had , too , a taste for politics. Then he met my sister. She was the youngest member of our fam- ily-only a girl at the end of the war. she was a very beautiful woman , Mor- ris. She and Zee are much alike ; but Zee has marked traits of her own. I don't quite account for them. Her mother . was a quick-witted woman veil educated for her day. Zee la more a woman of the world than her moth- er was and she has more spirit" Merriam opened a drawer in his ta- bled and drew out a miniature paint- . d on porcelain. He put on his spec- tacles and studied it intently for a mo- nent before handing it to Leijfhton. "It was understood In the family I that they were to be married , though there was never any formal announce- I ment. Your father meanwhile was es- iblishing himself. Then Margaret went East to visit a friend of hers. When I got back , a little later , I fou : d tho. tit was all off between her and your father. The girl had never been way : from home before , and the peo- Y ple she visited put her through lively paces. It was easy to admire her , and I the admiration from strangers went to hfir head. Mariona wasa't . * ry py . . - - - - - - - , , . . . - - - - - - - - - - - in those days , and Margaret had miss ed a good deal of the social life tha she was entitled to. " The old man paused , lost In thought . and Morris was glad of the silence. He was trying to construct for himself the past-to see his father as Rodney Mer riam had painted him , and to see , too Margaret : : Merriam as she had been when his father knew and loved her. "There's no use going into it. She stopped writing to your father with- out any warning that she had changed She was completely carried away with ! the excitement of her New York ex periences. She was not ready to settle down yet a while , she told him. I : supposed it would all come right , for ; I had faith in her. She was a truw hearted , gentle woman , but she was proud and headstrong ; and your fath- er had his pride , too. I don't blame him for taking it hard. He closed his office here and went back to Tippeca- noe. I don't believe they ever saw each other again. I'm not afraid b.ut that you will do what is right. YOT are the son of your father. I don't be - lieve you take things as hard as he did. Don't do it And don't rememb what I have told you to-night It's a queer story. And it hasn't any moral at all. Your father missed something out of his life-the fine ardor of hii younger manhood , maybe. But he had your mother and he had you. It wasn't he that was punished. " He was silent a moment , and then blurted out : "What does Zelda think of Pollock ? " "I don't know ! " Morris rose and walked the length of the room. "What does she think of you , then ? " demanded Marriam , looking directly at Morris. "I think- she hates me , " said Morris. He turned and left the house abruptly , leaving the old man aione with his memories. CHAPTER XXII. Ezra Dameron sat in the sitting- room as he always did , waiting tor. . Zelda to come to breakfast ; but as she' ' stood upon the threshold , whence she had often called her good-morning , he did not look up from the newspaper with his usual smile. She was touch- ed by , the pathos of his figure. He seemed older , more shrunken ; his pro- file , as the early light gave it to her , was less hard. His lean cheeks : had the touch of color they always wore in the morning from his careful shav ing , and his long hair was brushed back with something more than its us- ual uncompromising smoothness. A certain primness and rigidity in him which had often vexed her , struck only her pity now. "Father ! " He rose and turned toward her with a pathetic appeal In his eyes. "Good morning , Zee , " he said. Hab it was strong in him and they usually went to breakfast as soon as she came down. He took a step now toward the dining-room. "Father , I wish to speak to you a moment , " she said , kindly ; and he paused. "I am sorry for what hap- pened last night I was not quite my- self ; I said things that will always trouble me if you-unless you can for- give me. I was wrong-about every- thing. You must let me help , if I can help you-in any way. " He said nothing , but stared at her. "What angered me was that yon weren't quite frank , father. I didn't care about the money. It wasn't that -but if things haven't gone well with you , I wish to share the burden. No - 1 mean it-that I am sorry-let us be quite good friends again. " She went up to him quickly and took his hand. "Father , " she said. "Zee , my little girl-my little girl , " he began brokenly , touching her cheeks with trembling hands. "Yes , father , " she said , wishing to help him. "I have been very wicked ; I have led a bad life. I must not harm you ; I am not fit- " "You are my father , " she said , and touched ; his forehead with . her lips wondering at herself. She led him to the table and talked to him brightly on irrelevant matters. The situation was now in her own hands and she would not fail again. She usually visited the kitchen after breakfast to make her list for the gro- cer : ; but this morning she went back to the sitting-room < with her father. The autumn morning was cool , and she bent and lighted the fire. "Now , " she said , rising quickly and mlllng at him , "there are those both- ersome business matters that we were talking about last night I wish to sign that paper- " He shook his head. "You can't do It , Zee. " The deed had been > torn to pieces and thrown upon the kindling In the grate-half had al- ready been destroyed. "That is probably just as well. We shall make a new one , " she said , in a aatter-of-course tone. "I wish you would tell me , so that I may under- stand , just what It is that has hap- ened. " . . "It's a long story. I thought I should be able to make a great fortune for you. . It was my greed-my greed. What I proposed about the deed was ' purely selfish-to shield myself. It is a. grave matter-I have betrayed you- r have betrayed your mother's trust I have robbed you. " "I haven't been robbed father , and I don't intend that anybody shall use jch words to me. We shall make the eed ; no one need ever know that any- thing has happened. " "You are kind ; you are more than ' generous , Zee ; but I was mad when J sked you to re-create the trust last ight ' I am a bad man ; I must face ry sins ; I have lived a lying , evil life. [ am a thief , worse than a thief. " "My father can't be a thief , " she lid. "I am a thief-your uncle will see that I am punished. And it will be . - . . . , - - : : : \ I better so - - if only I did not dt&s jra , dov/n , smirch your name. " Her strength - hor readineas to neat the situation grew as she oav hia weakness. "How ' bad Is i It , father ; have we Any thing left ? Don't be afraid to tell me. It's concealment you must avoid. If we haven't a thing- " Her tone reassured him ; he lifted his head with more courage. "This house - the place in the coun- try-they are free. They : are yours to- day. My investments" hesitated and blinked at the word-"they can not come back to injure you. " "Then this house and the farm are still ours. " "They are yours , not mine. I hav wasted so much ! It was a fortune- nearly hajf } a million dollars when I began throwing it away. " " 1 don't believe that's very much. When you havon't a million " -you're- you're : not In It ! " and she laughed. "The loss of anything else isn't worth crying over. And then , you might have made a great deal more out of it" it"He He flinched , knowing how culpablo he was ; but her generosity and kind- ness were lifting his spirit. "I have given you an option on ft piece of ground-you may know it- out by the creek , and have received % thousand dollars on account of it It may be binding on you. It grew out of my necessity. It is not fair for me to talk to you of these things at . all. You should take advice of some one else-just as though there were no sort of tie between us. " "We are not going to do it that way , " said Zelda , decisively. "We are going to understand this between our- selves. Now this strip of ground that has been practically sold. What Is there about that ? " "The money should be returned , or offered to them. Balcomb was manag- ing it- " "Mr. Jack Balcomb ? - then of course it wasn't regular. " "It was my fault Zee. " "I don't believe it He was contriv- ing a pitfall-that Is what might have been expected of him. And he came to our house and pretended to be our friend ! " "Yes ; he pretended that ; but I pre- tended much more. Deceit is some- thing that feeds on itself. " ( To be continued. ) Comb Dries Hair Easily. Numerous devices for drying wom- en's hair have been designed recently , the majority consisting of complicated electrical fans or contriv- ances which proved per- fectly satisfactory in every way but entirely imprac- tical in the ordinary home. Some simple arrangement , similar to the one recent- ly devised , serves the pur- pose much better. It consists of a com- bined comb and hair dryer which in appearance close- ly resembles a pair of curling irons. The comb is metallic and has a hol- low back , fitting into which is the heating iron. The latter is in two parts , forming a spring to hold it in place when slipped within the hollow back of the comb. In using this hair dryer the heating iron is held over a gas jet or other flame until hot and in- serted into the comb. The heat is transmitted to the teeth of the comb drying the hair as the comb is drawn through it. With this device the hair can be very quickly and easily dried at the same time as the necessary operation of combing the hair. If Julia Sneezed. Julia Marlowe once yielded to the insistent demands of an ambitious gin admirer who had deluged the actress with sweet notes begging an inter- view , and told her to call at the hotel on a certain afternoon , when she would be glad to see her. "I saw you in Romeo and Juliet last Monday night , " said the young wom- an , "and have just been insanely curi- ous to ask you a question. " "Well , what is the question ? " said Miss Marlowe. "In the potion scene I want to know what you are thinking about when you lie there supposed to be in the deep sleep from the effects of the drug you took. " "I'm not thinking , " said the actress ; " ' " "I'm hoping. "Hoping ? " "Yes , hoping that I won't sneeze. " Engle Curried Trap 300 Miles. A few days ago an eagle was killed at the Ellison ranch near Edge- wood in the upper part of Siskiyou county. On one of its feet was at- tached a No. 3 steel trap which had apparently been on the big bird's talon about two weeks. It has just been learned that on November 22 an eagle got into a No. 3 5 steel trap belonging to N. Green- slate of Plymouth , Amador county , and carried the trap away with it. It is believed that the eagle killed at Edgewood , which is about 300 miles from : Plymouth on an air line , is the same that escaped with Greenslate'a trap about ten days before.

Therecent announcement that Land Commissioner Cowles had formulated rules and regulations whereby he would give away hIs salary is bearing fruit. Mr. Cowles has received the following letter from H. Flowers of Clebourne , Tex. : "Dear Sir : Having learned you was giving away your money to unfortu nates and cripples , please give me a few dollars. I am so needy and it will be appreciated very much if not but a few dollars if you can't give any more. " _ An inspection of the rules and regulations issued by Mr. Cowles dis closes that he intended to give away only his annual salary as a state officer , which is $2,000 a year , and that this is to be distributed only to . . I Xebraskans , which would be one ' sixth of one per cent for each person. The Texas writer is declared to be out of the jurisdiction of Mr. Cowles. State Treasurer's Report.

I Governor Shallenberger has ask d the secretary of state Washington to forward extradition papers to the government of Great Britain for the return of Ernest F. Wright of Red Willow county to the custody of War den T. D. Smith of the penitentiary of Nebraska. It is alleged that Wright is in Toronto , Canada where he is under arrest for stealing a military rifle. He was sentenced there August 15 for thirty days in jail. He was serving a five years sentence from Red Willow county and had served one year : when Governor Shallenberger paroled him , to August C. Wiehe of lIcCook.Vright -violated his parole and went to Toronto , where it is said he intended to be married. He was sentenced in Red Willow county for forging a check for $19.95. Stricken With Apoplexy. John Lyon of Central City , clerk to the chief of concessionaries at the state fair , was stricken with apoplexy while at work at the grounds. He was hurriedly removed to the emergency hospital , but ' his condition was so critical that he was sent to a down- town hospital. He is reported to be in a very bad way. Mr. Lyon is a large , heavy set man , of apparently : thirty-five > years of age. He is well known in the state. He was an un- successful candidate in the lecoat primaries for the republican ncniina- tion : of commissioner of public lands and buildings , being defeated iby Com- missioner Cowles. . - - To Be Sociable. Incorporation papers of The Ameri- can Brotherhood , an organization of Farmers living in the neighborhood of West Lincoln , for charitable , benevo- lent and social purposes , have been filed with the secretary of state. The incorporators of the society are J. J. McNeill , Jacob Stroheker ' and W. C. Haggerty. A similar society was or- ganized at Emerald in the spring. The new organization claims a membership ) f seventy to eighty. New Referees in Bankruptcy. The new referees in bankruptcy have been appointed by the federal court for a term of two years dating from August 1. They are . E. E. Spencer and E. C. Ames of Lincoln. Robert W. Sabin of Beatrice was appointed to succeed Fulton Jack who had signi- fied a desire to retire. Governor Shallenberger has dis- missed the complaints against 'A. L. tains , county attorney of Jefferson county , and C. M. Hurlburt , mayor of 'ai-'bury , both complaints being filed with a view to having these men ousted froHi office. Governor Shallenberger has extra- dited Charles Brown , who is under ar- rest at Omaha on the cbarge of de- serting his wife at Ties Moines , Ia. Employes of the Rock Island railroad at Fairbtiry are circulating a petition asking that railroads 'be allowed to raise freight rates.

The "cub" reporter is the greenest reporter on the staff of a newspaper. When anything particularly stupid happens on the paper , he is the first to be accused , and he Is usually right- ly accused. The only salvation for him is to Improve , which he does In nine cases out of a dozen. The Bos- ton Journal told recently of an amu- sing "break" of a wholly innocent na ture which a certain cub made. If It shows anything , it shows that a thor- ough training In the Bible is useful In other walks of life than the ministry. The reporter had been sent to a suburb to report a sermon. He ar rived late , near the close of the - serv ice , and took a seat near the door. , When the last hymn was over , he asked his neighbor , an elderly gentle- man : , , "What was the text of the sermon ? " " ' ' " the 'Who Art Thou ? replied other. "Boston reporter , " replied the other. The man smiled.
