Thomas Ardmorc. bored millionaire , and Henry Maine Grlswold , professor in the University of Virginia , take trains out of Atlanta , Griswold to his college. Ardmore in pursuit of a girl who had winked at him. Mistaken for Gov. Os- bornd of South Carolina , Griswold's life Is threatened. He goes to Columbia to warn the governor and meets Barbara Osborne. He remains to assist her-In the absence of her father. CHAPTER III.Continued. . "You understand , of course , that this discussion is painful to me , ex tremely painful. And yet , so much has been published -about my sister's do mestic affairs " "Exactly , Mr. Ardmore. What we want is to print your side of the story. " "Well , the fact is but please never mention it the fact is that his grace owes me four dollars. I gave it to him in two bills I remember the in cident perfectly two crisp new bills I had just got at the bank. His grace borrowed the money to pay a .cabman it was the very day before he mar ried my sister. " The reporter stared a moment , then laughed. He abandoned the idea of getting material for a sensational ar ticle and scented the possibilities of a character sketch of the whimsical young millionaire. 'It you don't mind saying where you are going , Mr' Ardmore ? " 1 "I'd tell you in a minute , only 1 haven't fully decided yet ; but I shall probably take the - Sambo Flyer at 9:13 , if you don't make me lose it. " Ardmore , ' looked the reporter over carefully as they shook , hands. He was an. attractive young fellow ; alert and good Rumored' , and Ardmore liked him , as , in his shy way , he really liked almost every o'ne who 'seemed jto be " " * * ' " ' a human "being" " * - [ f 'Til tell , you what 111 do , with you. Jf you'll forget kthjs rot'-we've. been talking'and come up to Ardsley as soon as I get home , I'll see if I can't keep you amused for a couple of weeks. What did you say your name is ? Collins , Frank Collins ? " I never forget anything , so don't disappoint me. " The young man laughed outright. "I'll remember ; I really believe you mean for me to come. " "Of course I do. It's all settled ; make it next week. Good-by ! " . Ardmore ate his dinner oblivious of the fact that people at the neighborIng - Ing table turned to look at him. He finally waved away his plate and called for coffee , and at that moment R middle-aged man appeared at the door , scanned the room for a moment and then threaded his way among the tables to Ardmore. "I heard you were here and thought I'd look you up. How are you , Ardy ? " "Very well , thank you , Mr. Billings. Have you dined ? Sorry ; which way are you heading ? " The new-comer had the bearing of a gentleman used to consideration. He was , indeed , the' secretary of the Bronx Loan and Trust Company , whose business was chiefly the admin istration of the Ardmore estate , and Ardmore knew him very well. "I'm looking for a man , and I'm not good at the business. I've lost him and I don't understand it , I don't un derstand it , " and" the secretary seemed to be half-musing to'himself as he sat down and rested his arms on the table. , ' 'You might give me , the job. I'm following a slight clew myself just at present. " The secretary , who had no great opinion of Ardmore's mental capacity , stared at the young man vacantly. Then it occurred to him that possibly Ardmore might be of service. "Have you been at Ardsley recent ly ? " he asked. "Left there only a Tew days ago. " 1 "You haven't seen your governor latefo' . have you ? " "My governor ? " Ardmore stared blankly. "Why , Mr. Billings , don't you remember that father's dead ? " "I don't mean your father , Ardy , " replied Billings with the exaggerated care of one who deals with extreme stupidity. "I mean the governor of North Carolina one of the American states. Ardsley is still in North Carolina lina , isn't it ? " "Oh.yes ; of course. But bless your soul. I don't know the governor. Why should one ? " " 1 don't know why , Ardy ; but people ple sometimes do know governors and nnG it useful. " , "I'm not in politics any more , Mr. Billings. What's Jthis , person's name ? " "Dangerfield. Dent you ever-read the newspapers ?

" "You * mustn't be so thin-skinned. You pay the penalty of belonging to one of the wealthiest families in America , " and Billings' tone was pa ternal. . "So I've heard , but I'm not so ter ribly proud of it. What about this governor ? " "That's what troubles me what of the governor ? " Billings dropped his voice so that no one but Ardmore could hear. ' 'He's missing disap peared. " "That's the first interesting thing I ever heard of a governor doing , " said Ardmore. "Tell me more. " "He's had a row with the governor of South Carolina at New Orleans , * was to have met him here on an im portant matter of business this after noon , but he's cleared out and nobody knows what's become of him. His daughter , even , who was in New Or leans with him , doesn't know where he is. " "Ah ! the daughter ! She remains behind to guard his retreat. " "The daughter is still here. She's a peppery little piece , " and Billings looked guardedly around the room. "That's she , alone over there in the corner the girl with the white feath er in her hat who's just signing her check. There she's getting up ! " . Ardmore- gazed across' the room in tently , ttien suddenly a slight smile played about his lips. To gain the door the girl must pass by his table , and he scrutinized her closely as she drew near and passed. She was a lit tle girl , and her light fluffy hair swept out from under a small blue hat in a shell-like curve , and the short skirt of her tailor-made gown robbed her , it seemed , of years to which the cal endar might entitle her. . . "She gave me the steadiest eye I ever looked into when I asked her where her father had gone , " remarked Billings grimly as the girl passed. "She said she thought he'd gone fish ing for whales. " "So she's Miss Dangerfield , is she ? " asked Ardmore indifferently ; and he rose , leaving on the plate , by a sud den impulse of good feeling toward the world , exactly double the gener ous tip he had intended giving. Bill ings was glad to be rid of Ardmore and they parted in the hotel lobby without waste of words. Ardmore's effects had been brought down and were already piled on a carriage at the door. In his pocket was his passage to New Orleans and a stateroom ticket. At the cashier's desk Miss Dangerfield paid her bill , just ahead of him. "If any telegrams come for my fa ther please forward them to Raleigh , " said the girl. The manager came out personally 'to show. her to her car riage , and having shut the door upon Jher/ lie wished Ardmore , who stood discreetly "by , a safe journey. ' * "Off for INew Orleans ; -are you , Mr. Ardmore ? " asked the manager courte ously. * "No , " said Ardmore , "I'm going to Raleigh to'look at the tall buildings , " whereat the manager returned to his duties , gravely shaking his head. At the station Ardmore caught sight of Miss Dangerfield , attended by two porters , hurrying toward the Tar Heel express. He bought a ticket to Raleigh , and secured the last avail able berth from the conductor on the platform at the moment of departure. Ardmore did not like to be hurried , and thus sudden change of plans had been almost too much for him , but he was consoled by the reflection that after all these years of waiting for just such an adventure he had proved himself equal to an emergency that required quick thought and swift ac tion. He had not "only found the girl with the playful eye , but he had learned her identity without , as it were , turning over his hand. The stateroom door stood open , and from his seat at the farther end of the car Ardmore caught a fleeting glimpse of Miss Dangerfield as she threw off her jacket and hat ; then she summoned the porter , give him her' tickets , bade him a smiling goc\l night and the door closed upon her. Ardmore went back to smoke and plan his future movements. For the first time in his life he faced tomorrow row with eager anticipations , resolved that nothing should thwart his high Tesolves , though these , to be sure ? were somewhat hazy. He did not know why Billings was so anxious to find Miss Dangerfield'sjather , but as between a man of-.piHingjJl purely com mercial Instiffcts'lindAtTieVgoyernor of a great state like North Carolina Ard more resolved to stand by the Danger- fields to the end of the chapter. He was proud to remember his estate at Ardsley , which was in feov. Danger- field's jurisdiction , and had been vis ited by the game warden , the state forester , and various other members of the governor's official household , though Ardmore could not remember their names. He had never in his life visited Raleigh , but far down some dim vista of memory he saw Sir Wal ter covering a mud-puddle with his cloak for Queen Elizabeth. Ardmore smoked many pipes and did not turn In until after midnight. The car was hot and stuffy and he slept badly. At some hour of the morning , being again awake and rest less , he fished his dressing-gown and slippers out of his bajr and went out on the rear platform. His was the last car , and he found a camp-stool and crouched down upon it in a cor ner of the vestibule and stared out into the dark. The hum and click of the rails soothed him andhe yielded himself- pleasant reveries- Ardmore was half-dozing when the train stopped so abruptly that he was pitched from the camp-stool ; into a corner of the entry. He got himself -together . .andalQanedputinto , Ihe cool .J Tne port'eu came out and staredl/for a gentleman in a blue silk wrapper who sat up. all night In a vestibule was new to -experience. . "What place is this , porter ? " "Kildare , sah. This place is wha' we go from South C'lina into N'otb C'lina. Ain't yo' be'th comfor'ble , sah ? " . "Perfectly ; thank you. " Kildare was a familiar name , and the station , that lay at the outskirts of the town , and a long grim barracks- like building that he identified as a cotton mill , recalled the fact that he was not far from his own ample acres which lay off somewhere to westward He had occasionally taken this route from the north in going to Ardsley riding or driving from Kildare aboui ten miles to his house. In this waj he was enabled to go or come without appearing at all in the little village ol Ardsley. The porter left him. He felt reads for sleep now , and resolved to g ( back to bed as soon as the trair started. Just then a dark shadow ap peared in the track and a man's voice asked cautiously : "Air y'u the conductor ? " The questioner saw that he was not , before Ardmore could reply , and hesi tated a moment. "The porter's in the car ; you can get aboard up forward , " Ardmore sug gested. { /'Be Gpv'nor Dangerfield on this train ? " asked the man , whom Ard more now saw dimly outlined in the track below. "Certainly , my friend. The govern or's asleep , but I'm his private sec retary. What can I do for you ? " "Weli ; hyefi's somethin' fer'im it's confidential. Sure , air ye , th' gov'nor's in they ? " The man a tall bearded countryman in a slouch hat , handed up to Ardmore a jug a plain , brown , old-fashioned American gallon jug. "It's a present fer Gov'nor Danger- field. He'll understand , " and the man vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared , leaving Ardmore holding the jug by its handle , and feeling a lit tle dazed by the transaction. The train lingered , and Ardmore was speculating as to which one of the Carolina commonwealths was be neath him , when another figure ap peared below in the track that of a bareheaded , tousled boy this time. He stared up at Ardmore sleepily , having apparently been roused on the arrival of the train. "Air y'u the gov'nor ? " he piped. "Yes , my lad ; in what way can I serve you ? " and Ardmore put down his jug and leaned over the guard "It's a Present for Gov'nor Danger field. He'll Understand. " rail. It was just as easy to be the governor as the governor's private secretary , and his vanity was touched by the readiness with which the boy accepted him in his new role. His cos tume , vaguely discernible in the vesti bule light , evidently struck the lad as being some amazing robe of state affected by governors. The youngster was lifting something , and he now held up to Ardmore a jug , as like the otter as one pea resembles another. "Pa ain't home and ma says hyeh's yer jug OT buttermilk. " ( TO BE CONTINUED. ) A Soldier Yarn. Sir William Arbuckle Is a capital speaker quality which has made him exceedingly popular at society dinners. He once told an amusing story , at an annual South African din ner , , about Sir Harry Smith , who , In days gone by , was commandant and governor at the Cape. The supply fromhome , and necessaries of all kinds for the soldiers , wasx generally sadly deficient , and the men were oft en In a pitiable plight in the way of. clothing. There was , consequently , much discontent So Sir Harry had them on parade , said some pleasant things to them , complimented them on their soldierly appearance , told them what splendid fellows they were , talked of the service they had seen together , and soforth. . When he had finished , an old sergeant stepped for ward , saluted , and remarked : "Thank you Sir 'Any , beg pardon , Sir 'Any , but we don't want no gammon , 7 want boots. " Thus Begin Each Day. I will this day try to live a simple , sincere and serene life ; repelling every thought of discontent anxiety , discouragement , impurity , and self- seeking ; cultivating cheerfulness , magnanimity , charity , self-control , and the habit of beautiful silence ; exercis ing economy in expenditure , careful ness in conversation , diligence In ap pointed service and fidelity In every trust.

There is in congress a western rep resentative of Celtic origin who has more than once "stirred up the ani mals" by his propensity to bait the opposition. On one occasion he rose to de nounce the statements made in a speech that had been delivered by a member of the other party. His im petuosity led him to phrase his re marks rather strongly. "Order , order ! " exclaimed the speaker , pounding with his gavel. Again , in a minute or two , did the son of Erin return to his charge of wilful misstatement. Again was he called to "order. " It was a critical moment. His col leagues , for motives of policy , did not wish him to be put out.of the debate , so they hinted so by tugging vigor- . "ously at his * coat tails. . . * Now , it's a very dangerous jnatter to trifle with the tails of an Irishman's coat , save in the cause of friendship. Nevertheless , the indignant yet good- natured member recognized the com mand of his party and sat down after delivering this Parthian dart : "I obey the ruling of the House , and I beg to retract what I was about to observe ! " That one touch of Irish oratory took the whole House by storm. Lippin- cott's. A Very Good Guess.

Many former coffee drinkers who nave- mental work to perform , day after day , have found a better capaci ty and greater endurance by using Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An Illinois woman writes : . 4 "I had drank coffee for about twen ty years , and finally had- what the hector called-'coffee heart. ' . L was nervous and extremely despondent ; had little mental or physical strength left , had kidney trouble and constipa tion. ; ; . - . * "The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became less despondent , and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength. . "I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had to give it up on account of coffee , but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before.
