'VMii.n Ocoige Wcntworth received this n. safe he ircd It several llmrg over bsfore Its tu < l meaning dawned u.'on him. Then he jnctil up and down his room and gave way to M feelings , Ills best friends , who had ben invll hid to hear George's vocabulary when he was ? rather niigrj' , admitted that the young ii.in had n fluency of expression which w-is very much more terse than proper. When the r.al significance of the dispatch became apparent to him , Oeorgo outdid himself In this particular line. Then he realized that , however cim al tory such langinge Is to n viry angry man , It docs little good In any practical way. Tic larol silently up and dov\n thf room , wondering whit , he could do , and tht more hn wondered the. le s light he raw through the fog. He put on his hat and went Into tha other room. "Henry , " he Mid to his partner , "do jou know anybody who would lend me 20.00U7' Henrj liiughcd The Idea of anybody lend ing that bum of money rxrcpt on the very best security , WAI In Itself cxtremoly comic. "Do you wunt It today ? " he tald. "Yes , I want It today" "Well I don't know nnj better plan than IP go out Into the street and ask ovcrj man If ho has that sum about him. You ate certain to meet men who- have very much more than 20,000and perhaps one of th in , struck by your very sane appear ance at the moment , might hand over the hum to jou. I think , howov r , Ckorge , that > ou would be mon eurcfusful If jou mci the capitalist In a secluded lane ome daik night and had a gc.od reliable club In jour hand. " "You are right , " said OcorRO. "Of course , tliorc la Just ns much possibility of my reachIng - Ing the moon ny g ttlng that sum of money on hhort not cs. " "Yes , or on long nolle1 , cither , I Imagine. 1 know plrntj of men who have the money , liiif 1 wouldn't unJertake to nfk them for It , nnd I don't believe > ciu would. Still , there Is iif.thlng llk trying. He who tries may bucceed , but no one can succ"d who doesn't try. Why not go to old Longworth ? lie could let jnu have the money In a moment If be wanted lo do so. Ho knows you.hut's your so'-urllv , what are you going to do with It that ctsrnal mine of jours ? " "Y s , that 'tt"rnal mine. ' I want It to be mine That's why I need the 20,000. " "Well , Geoigo , I don't see much hope for you You never spoke to old Longworth about It , did you ? Ho wasn't onu of the men jou Intended to get Into this company ? " "No , he was not. I wish ho had been. He Uonlil have treated us better than his rascally nephew has done. " "Ah , that Immaculate young man his been playing you tricks , has ho ? " "He has played me ono trick , which Is enough. " "Well , why don't you go and fcoo the old man nnd lay the case before him ? He treats that nephew as If he were his son. Now , a mm will do a great deal for his son. nnd Perhaps old Longuorth might do something for hlb nephew " "Yes , but I should have to explain to him that his nephew Is a coundrcl. " "Very well , that Is just the kind of ex planation to bring the 20,000. If his nephew rcallj Is a scoundrel , and jou can prove it , jou could not want a battei level than tint on the old man's money bags. " "By Jove , ' said Wentworth , "I believe I shall try it I want to le.t him Know , anjhow , v , bat sort of man his nephew is. I'll go and toe him. " "I would , " sild the other , turning to his work And so Geotge Wentworth , putting the cablegram In his pocket , went to see old Mr. Longworth In a fiame of mind In which no man ihould s = c his fellow manr He did not v > ilt to be announced , but walked , lo the at > - tcnlshment of the clcik , straight through Into Mr. LongAorth's tooin. He found th ? old mm seated ut his desk. "Good day , Mr. Wentworth , " said the finan cier cordially. "Good day , " replied George curtlj1. "I havo'ccmc t ° read a cubic dispatch to jou , or to Ut jou read It. " He threw the dispatch down b ° fore the old gentleman , who adjusted Ms dpeetacles ami read It. Then he looked up Inqulrlnglj at Wentworlh. "Vou den t understand It , do you ? " said the latter. "I confess I do not. The Longworth lu this telegram does not rsfcr to n.e , decs It ? " "No , it does not refer to vou , but It ufers to one of jour house Yoin nephew , William Langworth , Is a scoundrel ! " "Ah , " said the old man , plao.ng the dis patch on the desk again and removing his glasses , "Have you como to tell me that ? " "Yes , I have. Did jou Know it before ? " "No , I did not , " answered the old gentle man , his color rising , "and I do not know It now. I know you say so , and I think very HKely you will be glad to taKe back what jou have said. I will at least ghe jou the opportunltj. " "So far from taking It back , Mr. Long- worth , I shall prove It. Your nephew formed a partnership with my friend Kenjon and mjeelf to doit on the London market a cer tain Canadian mine. " "My dear sir , " broke In the old gentleman , "I have no desire to heir of mj nephew's private speculations. I have nothing to do OLD Mil. LONGWORTH IS SVfRl'niSEI ) . with them. I have nothing lo do with > cur mine , T.ie matter Is of no interest whatever to me , and I must decline to hir anj thing abiilt It. You are. also , If will excuse my ( .aylng to , not In a fit stite of temper to talk to any gentleman , If you like to come luck here when jou are rainier , I thall bo very placed to listen to what jou have to taj. " "I shall net or be calmer on this subject , I IIMC told jou that jour nephew Is a scoun drel , You are pleased to deny ( he accusa tion. " "I do not deny It ; I merely said I did not Know It was the case , and I do not bilicve II , that < f all. " "Veiy well , the moment I begin -to rfiow jou proof that things are as I Bay " 4 My dear sir , " cried the elder man , with come hcat"you are not showing proof. You nil merely making assertions , and assertions aboiia man who ID abjnt who Is not here / to defend hlnmlf. If jou have anjlhlng to sjyagilnst William Lon'gworth , come and say It when he Is h rc , and he shall answer for himself , It Is cowardlj of jou and ung'ner- oiib to me to make a number of accusations which I am In nowlte able to refute , " "Will you listen to what I have to taj ? " t 'No ; I will not. " "Then , by God , jou rtiall ! " and with It'it Wentwor h urcde to the door and turned Hid key. wlilla the old man rose from his i > eat and fac d him , "Do jou mean to threaten me , sir , In my twit cfllco ? " ' I mean to tay , Mr , L3iig orth , that 1 have made a statement which I am going to prove lo jou. I mean that jou shall listen to me , ind lliten to me now. " "And I say , If jou have anything to charge [ apair.st my nephew , como anJ saj' It no Is ho'e. " " \Vn-n ho fo here , Mr. I/mRvvortli , It nlll be too late to taj It , at prewnt > ou can icpAlr the Injury he has do'ie When he re turns lo nngland you cannot du to , no mat ter l < oA' Miijc.li jou might wish to make the attempt. " The old man pteod Irresolute for a MS- ir.lnl , HIT h ? rat ioun In hi : chair again. "Very well , " ho Mid , v\ltlt a sigh , "I am no. fo combative as 1 once \\a . Go en with your story. " "My story Is vry short , " said U'cniworlh. "It simply amounts to this. You Itnow jour nephew formed a pattnershlp with us In re lation to the Canadian mine ? " "I Knuv , nothing about It , 1 tell jou , " anfttcred Mr. Lont\\orth. "Vi-'y vv.ll , juu know It now. " "I know > ou fiy to" "Do > ou doubt my word ? " "I ulll tell you mare nboi.t that when 1 hear what jou Ime to say. Oo on. " "Well , jour nephew , prttendlnR-to aid us In forming this' compai.y. did evmthing to retard our progress He inpaRrd olllces that took a long time to nt up. and which we , bad , at lant , to Uku In hand ourwlvcs. Then ho left for a week , I avlng us no addicsa and rofiibliiK to answer the letters I sent lo his oilleo for him On one pre'c\t or another the forming of the company was dolajed. until at length when the option by which Mr Ken- yon held the mine had only a month to run , jour nephew went to America In company with Mr. Mehllle , tstsnslbly to see and report upon the properly After waiting n certain length of tlina and hearing nothing from him ( he had piomlsed to cable us ) , Kenyon went to America to get a renewal of the option This Citblegiam explains bis success. He finds , on going there , that your nephew his secured tha option of the mine In his owl name , and , as Kenjon savs , we are cheateJ Now , have you any doubt whether jou nephew Is a scoundrel or not ? ' Mr. Longworth mused for a few moment on what the young man had told him. " 1C what jou say Is cxactlj true , there I no doubt William has been guilty cf a pice ofery t'harp practice. " "Simp practice ! " cried the other , "you might as well call robbery sharp practice ! " "My dear fir , 1 have listened to you ; now I ask you to listen to me. If , as I say , wha jou have stated Is true , my nephew has done something which. I think an honorable mai would not do ; but as to that I cannot judge until I hear bis side of the story. It may pu x different complexion en the matter , and lave no doubt It will ; but even granting jou icrslon ID true In every particular , what have Ito , do with It ? I am not rcsponsblo for my nephew's actions. He has entered Into a bus ! ness connection , It seems , with two joung men , and has outwlt'ed tlic-n. That Is crob ably what the world would tuy about It. Per- Imps , as you say. he has been guilty of some thing worse , and has cheated bis partners Hut even admitting oveiythlng to bo true , : do not see how I am responsible In any way. ' "Legally you are not ; morally , I think , yoi aie. " "Why ? " "If he ycre your son " "Hut he Is not my son , ho Is my nephew. " "If your son hid committed a theft , would jou not do everything In your power to coun teract the evil he had done ? " "I might , and I might not. Some fathers pay their son's debts , others do not. I can not f.iy what action I should take In a purely supposititious cise , " "Very well , nil I have to eay Is , our option runn out In two or three dajs. Twenty thou- hand pounds will secure the mine for tin. I want that 20,000 before the option ceases. " "And do you expect me to pay you 20,000 for this ? " "Yes , I do. " Old Mr. I.ongworth leaned back In his offlM chair and looked at the joung man in amaze ment. "To think that you , a man of the city , would come to me , another mm of the city , with such an absurd Idea In jour head , Is simply grotesque. " "Then the name of the Longuorths Is nothing to you the good mime , I mean ? " "The good name of the LongwortliB , my dear sir , HI evcrj thing to me ; but I think It will bo able to take care of Itself without any assistance from you. " There was Mlenco for a few moments , Then Wentwoith said In a vclcu of suppressed anguish : "I thought , Mr. I.ongworth , oneof jour family wns a bcoundrcl. I now wish to say I believe the epithet covers uncle an well as nephew. You have had a chance to repair the mUchlcf ono of your family has done. You ha\e answered me with contempt. You ha\o not shown mo the slightest Indication of wishing to make amends. " fjr the difrs if that hd overtaken h'm He nad hi fnv ntu evening papir with lest than hit iieunl interest , for every now and then the cpl ado In hlg office would crop up In his mind , rirnllj he said sharply ; "Yes , father , " answered his daughter. "You rtmember a person named Went' worth whom jou had here the evening Wil liam went away ? " "Yes father. " "Very well. Never Invite him to this houe again. " "What has lie been doing ? " n ked the joung woman In rather tremulous volte "I ( U'llre jou also never to a k any one connected with him , that man Kenjon , for Instance , " ctntinueJ her father , Ignoring her question. " 1 thought , " she answered , "that Mr Ken- jon was not In this country at present. " "IIu la not , but he will bs back again , I uppos ; . At any rate , I wish to have noth ing more to do with those people You under stand that ? " "Yes. father. " Mr , I.ongworth went on with his reading IMIth saw tint her father was greatly dis turbed , and she iruch desired to know what the reason was , but knew enough of human nature to believe that , In a very short time ho would relieve her anxiety. He again ap peared 10 be trjlng to fix his attention on the paper. Then he threw It down ami ttirne.1 toward her. "That man Wcntworth , " ho said bitterly , "behaved today In n mo t unjustifiable man ner to me In my own ounce. It s-ems that William and ho and Kenjon embirked In some mine project I know nothing of their doings , nnd was not oven consulted with regard to them. Now It appears William has gene to AmcMca and dons something Wentwcrth considers wrong. Wentworlh came to me nnd demanded 20,000 the most preposterous thing ever helrd of said I owed It to clear the good name of Long- w01 th , as If the good name were depsndent on him , or any ono llko him. I turned him aut of the olllce " RJIth did not answer for n few moments , while her father gave exprcs lon to his In dignation by various ejaculations that need "THIS MAN KCNYON , FOR INSTANCC , " CONTINUED HER FATHER. He unlocked the dooi. "Como , now , " said old Mr. Longworth , rls- Ing , "that will do , that will do , Mr , Went worlh. " Then ho pressed an electric bell and when the clerk appeared he said ; "Show this joung gentleman the door , please , and If ho ever calls hero again do not admit him. " And so George Wntworth , clenching his hands with rage , was shown to the door. He hud the rett of the daj to ponder on the fact that an angry man seldom accomplishes his purpose , CHAPTER XXII. The stormy Interview with Wcntworth dis turbed Ilia usual serenity of Mr. Longttorlh'B temp r. He went home tarller than was customary - tomary with him that night , and the inoro he thought over the attack the more unjustifi able It seeinsd. How ondered what his nephew liad been at , and tried to remember what Wcntworth had charged against him. He could not recollect , the angrier portions of the Interview having , as It wc-re , blotted the chaiges from his mind. There remained , low ever , a very bitter resentment against Wentworth , Mr. Longworth searched his conscience * lo tea If he could be In the least to blame , but be fiund nothing In the rec ollection of his dealings with the young man to justify him In feeling at all responsible not be here recorded. "Did he say , " she spoke at length , "in what way William Ind done wrong ? ' " 1 do not remember now Just what he said. I know I told him to come again when my nephew was present , and then make his charges against him , If he wantel to do teNet Not thai I admitted I had anything to do with the matter at all , but I simply refused to lU'en to charges against an absent man. I paid no attention to them. " "That certainly was reasonable , " replied Edith. "What did he fay to it ? " "Oh , he abused me , and abus = d William , and went on at a dreadful rate , until I was obliged lo order him out of the office " "Hut what did he say about meeting Wil liam at jour oillco and making the charges against him then ? " "What did he say ? I don't remember. Oh , yes , he said It would be too late then ; that they had only a few days to do wlut business they have to do , and that is why he micla the demand for 20,000. It was to repair the harm , whatever ths harm was , William had done. I look on It simply as some blackmail ing scheme of his , and I am astonished that a man belonging to as good a house as be does i'hou'd ' try that game with me. I shall speak to the elder partner about It tomorrow , and If he dos not make the young man apologize In the most nbject manner , he will be the lo ° sr by It , I can tell him that. " "I would think no more about It , father , If I were jou. Do not let It trouble you In the least " "Oh , it doesn't trouble me ; but joung men nowadays seem to think they can say any thing to their ciders " "I mean , " she continued , "that I would not go to his partner for a day or two. Walt and see what happens. I have no doubt when ho thinks over tlu matter ho will be thor oughly ashamed of himself. " "Well. I hope PO ! " "Then give him the chance of bJlng ashamed of himself and take no further steps In the mat'er. " Edith , very shortly afterward , went lo her own room , and there , clamping her hands behind her , nho walked up and down think ing , with a very troubled heart , on what she had heard. Her view of the matter was very different from that of her father. She felt certain pomethlng wrong had been done by her cousin. Tor a long time she had dis trusted lilg supposed friendship for the two young men , and now she pictured to herself John Kenyon In the wilds of Canada , hlp- less and despondent because of the great wrong that had ben done. him. It wan far Into the night when she retired , and It was early next morning when ens arose. Her father WPS bright and cheerful at brealcfist , and had evldentl ) forgotten all about the un pleasant Incident of the day before. A good night's sleep had erased It from his msniory. Edith was glad of this ; she did not mention the tubj > ct. After ho had gone to the city the joung woman prepared to follow him , She did not take her carriage , but hailed a haniom and gave the driver the number of WontwDrth's offices. That younc man was evidently somewhat surprised to ? ea her. He had been trying to write to Kenjon some account of his Interview with old Mr. Long- worth , and , somehow , after he had finished , lie thought John Kenyon would not at all approve of his zeal , to had Just torn the letter up , "Take thin chair , " he said , wheeling an armchair Into position. "It la the only com fortable one we have In the room. " "Comfort does not matter , " said Mien Longworth , "I came to we jou about the mica mine. What has mj cousin done ? " "How do jou know he has done anything ? " "That does not matter , I know. Tell me OH quickly as you can what he has done. " "It Is not a very pleasant story to tell " IB said , "to a young lady about ont of her relatives. " "Never mind thai. Tell me. " "Very well , ho hos done this. He has iretended he was our friend and pretended ie wao going to aid us In forming this com- > any. Ho has dclajed us by eveiy means In ils power until the option lias nearly c > - ilred. Then ho has gone to Canada and ecuMtl for himself and a man named Melville , the option of the mine when John Cenjoil's time IB up. That Is to say. at 12 clock tomorrow , when Kenyon's option tx- ) lres , jour cousin will pay the money and 'will iwn the mli < nft r wluli , cf c mrse. Kenjon and myi If vllldi cut of It t d nt mind the Ui * at all. I\\\oill gladly give Kenjon my n'me ! but for John It ! n tertlble blow. He had cotmteflion the money to pay debts of honcr whtrh he owe to his father for his education. He tills them debts of honor ; they are not dsbt * of honr In the ordinary s nse of the word , Therefore , It seemed to mo a terrible thlft that that " hero he paused and did njt go on He saw ther ? were tears In the c es 6f the girl to whom he- was talking. ' "It Is brutal. " he raid , "fo tell jou all this. You are not blame fr It , and neither l your father. Although I ppoke to' mm In a heated manner jesterday " "When did jou say the optlon.explrcs ( ? " "At 12 o'clock tomorrow , " . , "How much money Is reqtilrtd to buy the mine ? " "Twenty thousand pounds. " "Can money be sent to Canada by cable ? " "Yes , I think so. " "Aren't jou quite sure ? " "No , I am not. It can hs- sent by tele- g'aph In this country and In America. " "How long will It take jou to find out ? " "Only a few momenta " "Very well ; where Is Mr. Kenjoa now ? " "Kenjon Is In Ottawa , I had a cablegram from him jesterdaj' . " "Then will you write n cablegram that can be scut away nt once asking him to wait at the tcl'graph olllce until ho gets a further message from jou ? " "Yes , I can do that ; but what good will It do ? " "Never mind what good It will do ; perhaps It will do no good Meanwhile , remember , If I succeed , John Kenyon mu t never know the paitlculari of thla trnii'nctlsn " "He nEvcr will ; If jou say so" "I say so Now It Is six hours earlier here than It Is In Canada , lu It not ? " "Abo.it that length of lime , I think " , "Very well , lose no time In getting the cable message sent to him , and tell him to answer , so that we fhall bs sur ° he Is nt the other end of the wile Then nnd out about the cabling of the money. I p'mll be back here , I think , about the same time you are. " With that she left the clHce , and , getting Into her csb , was driven to her fathet's place of business. "Well , my girl , " said the old man , shoving Ills spectacles up on his brow and gazing at her , "what Is It now , semi new extrav agance ? " "Yen , father , some nsw extravagance. " His daughter was evidently excited , and her breath came qulcklj' . She closed the door nnd took n chair opposite her fathei. "father , " she said , "I have hesn jour business man , as jou call me now , for n long time. " "Yea vou have. Are jou going to strike for an Increase In salary ? " "Father , " she said earnestly , not heeding the Jocularity of his tone , "this Is v-fry eerlouo 1 want jou to give me some money for mj self to speculate with. " "I will do that very gladly. How much do you want ? " The old man turned his cl.alr round and pulled out bis check book. "I want 30,000 , " sh answered Mr. Longworth wheeled quickly round on hsr nnd looked nt her In astonishment. Thirty thousand what ? " "Thirty thousand pound" , father , and } want It now and I want It In cash. " "My dear girl , " he expostulated , "have jou any Idea how much 30 , 00 Is ? Do you know that E.iO.000 is a fortune ? " "Yes , I knew that. " - * "Do jou know that there Is not one In Iwenty of the richest merchants lu London who could , nt n moment's notice , produce 30.000 In ready monfj ? " "Yes , I suppose that Is true Have jou not the ready money ? " * "Yea I have the money. I can draw a check for that ame-tint and It will b1 hon ored at once , but I cannot give jou so much money without knowing wnat jou are going to do wi h It " "And suppose , fathe- , you do not approve of what 1 am going tc do with It ? " "All the more reason , , my dear , that I should know. " "Then , father , I suppose \ou mean that whatever services I havr rendered you wlntever comfort I hav ? given you vvuat I have been to you all my life ils not worth 30.000" / "You shouldn't talk like that , daughter. Everjthing I have ! jours , or will be when I die. It Is for jcu I wjrk. 1C is foi you I ac cumulate money. You will have everything I own the moment 1 have to lay donn my work. " "Father , " cried the joung girl , standing up "before him , "I do not want jour money when you die I do not want jou to die , as. jou very well know , but I do want 30,000 today , and now. I want It more than I ever wanted unj thing else before In my life , or evar fehall again. Will jou give It to me ? " "No , I will not tinl-sa jou tell me what you are going to do with It. " "Then , father , jou cin leave jour money to jour nephew v hen jou die. I shall never touch a penny cf It. 1 now bid jou goodby I will go out from this room and earn my own living. " With that the .young woman turned to go , but Uer father , with a sprlghtllness one would not have expected from his years , sprang to the door and looked at her with ahrm. "Edith , my ehlld , you never talked to me like this before In your life. What Is wrong with jou' " "Nothing , father , except that I want a check for 30,000 , and want It now. " "And do you mean to say that you will leave ms > If I do not give It to you ? " "Havo jou ever broken your word , father ? " "Never , my child , that I know of. " "Then remember I am your daughter. I have said If I do not get that money now I shall never enter our house again " "But 30,000 Is a tremendous amount. Re member I have1 given my word , too , that I would not give jou the money unless you told mo what It was for. " "Very well , father , I will tell you what It la for when you ask me. I would advise you , though , not to ask me , and I would advise won to give me the money. It will all bo relumed to you If you want It. " "Oh , I don't caie about the monejnt all , Edith. I merely , of course , don't want to see It wasted. " "And , father/ have you no trust In my Judgment ? " "Well , you know I haven't much faith In any woman's judgment in the matter of In- vestlns money. " "Tiust me this time , father , I shall never ask you for any more. ' The old man went slowly to his deck , wrote out a check and handed It to his daughter. It was for 30,000.
