CHAPTER IIL 4 Continued. "Then, Miss Beatrice," said the em brolderess, "it means that I must work ? day and night? and never stop." Miss Beatrice sighed, and went on her way. She stopped next before the elderly and gaunt-looking person who sat on the other side of the lire. "Are you better this evening. Miss Stidolph?" she asked. "No, I am worse." "Was there the opening you expect ed?" "No, there was not. There never is for age. It is a sin now to grow old." "Oh. no! But people do like their children to be taught by young and light-hearted women. As we grow old er we lose some of our light-hearted ness, do we not? And some of our pleasant looks, perliapR." "I never had any pleasant looks, or any lightness of heart," said Miss Stidolph, with a little laugh. "Life has always been a burden to me. Don't waste time on me, Miss Beatrice. Pet haps something will turn up in the lit erary way. We heard at the Museum yesterday that there was work got by some of the ludles there, and peo ple are all come back to town." "Yes; and your translations are known to be so correct. Miss Sti dolph. Oh, I am sure you will get some work now. And you have got well through the dead season, haven't you ?" When Miss Beatrice left her, the gaunt, hard-featured lady lay back in her chair, with something like a smile upon her face. Consolation pften takes the form of subtle and crafty flattery. Miss Beatrice knew that if there was one subject which more than another afforded gratification to Miss Stidolph, it was the excellence of her translations. Other translators made blunders in grammar and mistakes in idiom. Miss Stidolph wus always cor rect. * Then Miss Beatrice went to a girl who lay upon the sofa. *lretched su pine, careless of what went on around her, sick to death of monotonous labor and a dull and dreary life. She bent over her and patted her checks and whispered things soothing and soft to her, and kissed her forehead, so that the girl sat up and smoothed her hair and moved away to the table, where she took up a book and began to read. And all this time Miss Augusta, with sympathetic emphasis, played her Men delsohn. What with the music and the gentle words the girls lw*gan to throw off their tiredness anl to brighten up, and some of tliom even went so far as to talk chiffons, which Is a sure and cer tain sign of recovery. Lastly, the daughter of consolation came to Katherlue and the girl who snt beside her holding her hand. "Lily, my dear," she said to the lat ter, "have you heard of anything?" Lily shook her head. "I have heard of a great many things." she said, drearily, "and I have been tramping about after them. To-day it was a photographer's. IIo wanted a girl to sell his things, and he offered fifteen shillings a week? which wasn't so bad. But the man?" she shuddered. "There was degradation even in talk ing to such a man! There was a man who wanted a girl to search newspa pers for something in the Museum; but that place was snapped up long before I hail time to apply for it. Work is like the pool, you know, that could only cure one person at a time." "Patience, dear." "I had no money for omnibuses, so I had to walk all the way. Yes, Miss Beatrice, I am already as patient as the most exacting preacher can desire." She hardly looked it with those eyes that flashed lire at the remembrance of the photographer and the lingers that pulled the ribbon. "Patient? Yes, I am as patient as a man In the hands of the Inquisition. I am on the rack, and I smile, you see." But she did not smile. "Would you like to hear an other day's experience? Yesterday I heard of two placer, right away In the north of London. One was a place in a school. The lady principal received me frigidly and heard what I had to say, and told me If the references were ' satisfactory I should receive twelve pounds a year for my mornings. Isn't It wonderful? Twelve pounds a year! Four shillings and elglitpence a week! Allowing for holidays, five shillings a week!" "Oh!" said Miss Beatrice. "It Is really terrible!" "She said that I had left my after, noons and evenings, so that I could easlJj double my money. I asked her If she thought a woman could live on ten shillings a week, and she replied that she paid according to the market T?Jue,. _Well. then I tried tho other place. It was n draper's shop. The man, who Is a bully, wants a cashier. She Is to work from 0 in the morning till 8.30 at night, and is to have seven shillings and sixpence a week. So 1 left him without saying anything. He Is a deacon of his chapel, and the chief support of the pastor, I was told. Dives was a draper who paid his cash ier seven shilling* and sixpence a week." "My dear, you are greatly tried. But have patience still. With those who fcavs patience and never lose tfcelr hold #n faith an<l hope, everything come? right In fhe end. I/ook al us? my sister and myself? we bare been very poor. Oh, we have suffered great privations and many humiliations. When we were young I think that people were not so considerate and so kind toward their dependents ns they have since ? ?otne of them ? become." "Not Dives the draper of Stoke-Ncw Ingtrfn." snid Lily. "Often we had nit enough to eat. But see what happened. We adopted what we call the simple life. We lived upon fruit and bread chleily, and some Uujcs vegetables. So we wcjc enabled to weather the most terrible storms of adversity, and now that we are crown old and glad to rest. Providence has sent us an annuity of fifty pounds a year, on which we can live in com fort and with thankful hearts. Pa tience, my dear." "It will be such a long time before I get old," Lily sighed. "And there lire all those storms to get through first. * Aud perhaps the fifty pounds a year won't come along at all when it Is most wanted. Very well. Miss Beatrice, I will try to be patient; 1 will. Indeed.** Then Miss Beatrice turned to Kath arine and kissed her. "My dear," she said, "when there Is no news there is always hope." "The natives have brought In reports that they are killed," Katharine re plied, with dry eyes. "Nobody thinks there is any room for hope. I went to the office of the paper to-day and saw one of the assistant editors. He is a kind man, and the tears came into his eyes. But he says it would be cruel to entertain any hope. Tom is dead! Tom Is dead!" Then she sprang to her feet and rushed out of the room. "Don't follow her. Miss Beatrice." *ald Lily. "She will throw herself 011 the bed and cry. It will do her gootl, poor thing. It would do most of us ftcod If we could lie down every even ing for an hour or two and have a good CHAPTER IV. A Faitiiftti. Trvstee. If, gentle reader, you are proposing to embark on n career of what the harsh world too readily calls crime. ?nd Judges reward with a term of seclusion, would you rather carry It on secretly, or would you take your wife into partnership? It is a question which cannot be lightly answered, be cause the answer must depend in great measure on the character and dlspo -ition of the lady. For there are wives who, like eminent statesmen when they suddenly and brazenly veer round and give the lie to all that they have hitherto said and taught and professed, are ready to aver that the thing is the only right thing to do. and to cover it up with a gilding of fair words and pretense, so as to make it appear most beautiful, virtuous and unselfish. Other wives there are again wh'o can never be brought to see any thing but the naked ugliness of the thing standing out in front of the writ ten law, and refuse any assistance, and go melancholy and ashamed. You will now hear, if you have the patience to follow up this narrative, what happened to a man who adopted a certain course of action without his wife s knowledge and consent previous ly obtained. I do not knfcw, that is to Jay, what Harriet Itolfe would have said, or what co-operation she would have afforded her husband. Perhaps the path which opened out before him showing Ruch vistas of ease and de light. might have attracted and tempt od her ns well-but I do not know. Meantime it is a curious speculation to think of the difference It might have made had Harriet herself been a con seining party to the line adopted. It was not a deep-laid conspiracy, hatched after long meditation aiid brooding. Not at all; it grew out of small beginnings, and was developed, as such things often are, by the assist ance of unforeseen circumstances. .Tames Itolfe knew perfectly well that ho would get nothing from his uncle's will, and was not In the least surprised when he learned Its contents. The his tory of live years spent as an articled clerk in the office, and five more spent In acquiring experience at the cost "of his patrimony, caused his undo to re solve that his nephew should be left to make his own way in the world. This shows what a high opinion he bad formed of his nephew. Further, on several occasions he communicated this opinion to James. Therefore when Tom proposed that he should prove the wUl and take over the management of the property, James considered It the greatest pleoc of luck which had ever befallen him. At first he sat down, tlie papers be fore him. with all the zeal tfhlch one expects of a man paid by the hour In stead of by the job, without limit as to time. He began by Investigating fhe circumstances connected with the trust-money, something of which he already knew. Next ho made, as he thought, the dig. cover.v that the whole eRtate was not more than sufficient to discharge the trust. He communicated (his unpleasant discovery to Tom as a fact about which there was no doubt. It had tht immediate cffcet of causing Tom's d?*? parture for Egypt. If it had not been for that discovery the Reconfl^liapter of tills book? nay, the whole book would have been impossible for a truthful historian. Now at school the youthful James had never been able to add up his sums and to reduce Ills pounds to prrtfe-witli the correctness desired by his ulsters. I lie immediate result was tiftplKasant; the more enduring result was hatred and continued Ignorance of all mathe matical science. Therefore, as an ac countant. ho blundered. And it was not until Tom was gone that he found out what a big blunder he had n.ide. Never mind, when lie returned there would be time to set him right. Six weeks after ills departure there came the first alarming telegram In the papers. Jnnrps Itolfe read It and changed color. Then lie reflected, and winked hard with both eyes. Some men turn red or pale or both; others fliliret with their hands; others wriggle In fhelr chairs; James Rolfe winked with both eyes. The next day and tb? next ahd the day after there camo nioro telegrams of a gjmllor character. Harriet 7* said her husband, solemn ''? "uiy cooaln Tom must be dead. Four days bar* passed and he lias not come back. The last fugltivea who have escaped bare returned to camp, hut he has not come In. Captain M<> Lauehlin, of the 115tb. and Mr. Addi son. correspondent of the Dally Herald, are still missing. There in no doubt! I very much fear, that Tom is dead." Then who'll have all the mouer Jamea?" "There may be a will," he replied, fully aware that there was none. "It ought to be mine, by right*. But there way be a will." "What other relations has he?" "He has cousins by his mother's side, but the family all went to New Zealaud long ?K0. By liia father's side I am the only first cousin." "Then ? oh! Jem, won't vou have It all?" "We must distinguish. Harriet** he replied, in a legal tone; "we must dis tinguish. 2 ccrtalnly ought to have it all." "He was engaged, yon told me." "Yes." James was reminded by the question of certain last words and a promise. And again he winked with both eyea. "Yes, he was engaged. I abail look Into his papers, Harriet, and niiil his will9 if lie loft one.** Ills heart leaped up within him and his pulse quickened, because h? knew very well there was no will. The time was one of great tightness. The rent was overdue, and the land lord was pressing. James Rolfe's pri vate resources had well-nigh come t<f an end, and his practice was meager enough. It is not enough, as many have discovered, to call yourself a sulle ltor. If your language, your manners, 3 our appearance, and your general rep utation fall to command the respect and confidence which bring along the client. James' appearance reminded the observer of a swash buckler in private modern dress. Now, rightly or wrongly, people like their solicitor* to exhibit a correct an.: sober tenor. His tastes led him to racing, and there fore to billiards, the turf somehow be ing the first cousin of the billiard table. Both are green, to begin with. He was well set up; a big. handsome fellow, with brown hair straight and short, a smooth check, and a full mus tache; the kind of a man who at forty will have developed a figure and put on a double chin. His wife, whom lie elevated to that proud position from a stall I in Soho Basaar. was, like himself, big-limbed, full of figure, and comelv to look upon. There .was no wom an anywhere, Jem proudlv felt, who could compare with lier. l? fact, when Harriet was well dressed and In a good temper, she was a very handsome creature indeed. She would make a splendid stage queen with her masses of brown hair rolled up under a gleam ing gold coronet, a black or crimson velvet dress showing her white arms and setting ofT her regular features and her ample rosy cheek, her broad white shoulders and her great blue eyes. Ilubens would have painted her with enthusiasm. Sho must have come from the country, for in London jjjgn -W.onien ag^iiot jgrowu. in other fthlngs, besides comeliness, she was a fitting partner for James Uolfc; like him, she loved all the pomps and vani ties of the world? every one- and es pecially the vanity of rich and beauti ful raiment. Next, she loved the vani ty of the theatre, which she regarded as tho proper place to show a good dress. She also loved the vanity of champagne, the festal drink; that of goojl eating, and that of cheerful so ciety, where the men did what they pleased and the ladies were not stuck up and stiff. "Harriet," said her husband, a few days later, "Tom is really dead. There can no longer be any doubt about It." "If really and truly certain?" Everybody has given him up." 'Oh, Jem? and all this money! Is It really ours? Oh!" Jem did not Immediately reply, but he shut both eyes hard. Then he walked to the window, and looked out Into the back garden of the villa. Then he returned to the fire place and played with the things on the mantel shelf. Harriet waited and watched him anx iously. Harriet, he said, I am his cousin and his solicitor. I have, therefore, been to his lodgings this afternoon and paid tho rent, and carried away his books and papers and clothes and everything." "Well?" "So far as I have goncr-1 have ex amined all the papers, which did not take long? I have found no will " . "Then-oh, Jem"? Harriet sprung to her feet? "everything is ours!" (To be continued..)

CHEATHAM'S DENIAL Secretary Cotton Association Under fire SAYS HE TRADED FOR A FRIEND Before Cotton Association Committee of Investigation, Charges That Sec retary Cheatham and Press Agent Fairchild Have Been Speculating in Future.; Are Preferred and Only Partially Denied. Atlanta. (Ja., Special. ? Before the committee of investigation named by President llarvie Jordan to hear evi dence that certain officers of the as sociation owned an interest in a well known brokerage concern, and also have heen s|?cculat ing in cotton fu tures, Representative J. R. Anderson, of ("heathaip county, repeated the charges made by him on the floor ot the llo'ise last week. He rhar^ed that Riehard Cheatham, secretary of the association, s]>eculated in eotton futures, carrying tliu accounts in the names of Mike O 'Grady and P. A. Lee. Mr. Anderson also charged that Arthur A. Fairchild, who appears as the manager of the bureau of pub licity ol the association, owned one eighth of the stock of the Piedmont Brokerage Company, a concern which makes a specialty of eotton futures, To supi?oi-t these charges, Mr. An derson submitted a number of affi davits and declared that an order from Mr. Cheatham on certain brok ers would bring forth further evi dence in proof of the charges. Mr. Cheatham produced in his de fense a statement in which he de clared: "1 do not at the present time, nor have 1 directly or indirectly in any manner, owned any part of or interest in a bucket shop or wire gambling house. "I have never speculated in cotton futures for my own personal gain."

Mr. ( 'urran flushed up angrily and proceeded to tell what he claimed he knew, and it was that Air. Chcatluim had bought cotton futures three times at his office. "He came to the office," said the witness, "and wanted to open an account, lie did so and when we asked him what name to put the ac count be said: 'Ob, Mike will do.'
