During the latter part of the prayer
Mrs. Alishop had been staring at her
husband through her partcd flngers,
her face pale and agitated, and as she
rose her eyes were glued to his face.
"Now, Alfred," she said, "what are
you goin' to tell uis aboiut the railroad?
Is it as bad as brother Ab thought It
Iwould be?"
Bishop hesitated. It seemed as if
he had even then to tear hinself from
the clutch of his natural stubbornness.
le looked into all the anxious, waiting
faces before he spoke, and then he
gave in..
"Ab made a good guess. Ef I'd 'a'
had his sense or Alan's, I'd 'n' made a
better trader. It's like Ab said It was,
only a sight wuss, a powerful sight
wuss!"
"Wuss?" gasped his wife in fresh
alarn. "How could it be wuss? Vhy.
Brother Ah said"
"I never have told you the extenit o'
my deallin's,'" vent onl ishop in the
current of confesslon. "I never even
told Perkins yesterdaty. Fust 2111' last
I've managed to rake iI fully I wenty

wits afeerd even to tell you about what
Perkins said, 1ibiunkinu' It imtoight leak

"Biut, father," said Alan, "oU didn't
have enough ioney to buy all that
land."
"I got it up"-Bislop's face was flog
gedly pale, almost dellant of his over
whehiniug disaster--"I inort,.aged this
farm to get nioney to buy Mi iaybry ln(]
Morton's foutr thousaid acres."
"Tle farin you was goilng to deed to

"Not iI thalt deal ," groaned lishop.

CHAPTER V.
FE following Saturday Alan
went to Darley, as he fre
quently did, to spend Sunday.
On such visits he usually
stayed at the Johnstou House, a great,
old fashioned brick buildiig that had
survived the civil war and remiained
untouched by the shot iad shell that
hurtled over it during that dismal le
rlod when most of the pollation had
"refugeed fart her south." It land four
stories and wis tot) big for the town,
which could boast of only 2,000 inhab
itiats, otte-third of whoi were black.
However, the smallness of the town
wits in the hotel's favor, for lit a place
where no one would have patronized a
second chits hotel opposition would
have dilled a natural death. The genial
proprie-tor aid his family were of the
best lod , and the Joh.ston House
was a sort of soelial clubhouse where
ite chuitrcli 1eople held their affairs
anaid the less serious element gave
dances. To be adnitted to the hotel
without having to pay for one's dinner
wais the ha0a1wrak of social lipproval.
It wats near the anclent looking brick
car shed, under which the trains of
two main lines ran, and a long freight
watrelouisO of the samie (late antid archi
tecttre. Aronid the hotel were elis
tered the chief tinanlcial enterprises of
the town-its stores, postofflee, banks
and a hall for thieatrical purposes. Dar
bey was the seat of its cou;ty, and tan
other relic of the days before the war
w-ais its courthouse. The pilticpal 1de
walks were plved vith brick, which In
Phices vere (iipi aid greii and some
times raised a bove their comion level
by the uandergrowinlg roots of tihe sye
amore trees that edged the streets.
In the offe of the hotel, Just aifter

Ahner 1ltnel Mhid sich Ihigh regard.
lIe was a fille lookiig miantai of thirty
three, tall an1)d of athletile build. He
had dark eye's an1d hair and a ruddy,
outdoor comiplexioni.
"i lello!" lie sa id cordially. "I thought
you might get inl today, s I camie

is that you looked in to see if I needed

Trabue. They generally make me hunt
for my ollice furniture when I need it.
They've borrowed everything I have
except ty Iron safe. Their ignorance
of the combination, its weight and
their confirmed laziness are all that
saved it."
When the old lawyer had gone, the
two friends on t and smoked in silence
for several innutes. Alan was study
Ing MIller's face. Something told him
that the news of his father's disaster
had reached hiu and that Miller was
going to 'spelic of it. i1e was not mis
taken, for' the lawyer soon broached
the subject.
"I've been intending to ride out to
see you n11intest every (Ily this week,"
he said, "but bustiess has always pre
vented mny leaving town."
"Then you have heard"
"Yes, .Alan, 'in sorry, but it's all
over the country. A man's bad luck
spreads as frst as good war news. I
heard it the next day IIafter your fn
ther returnend from Athinta, and saw
the vhole thing lin a flash. The truth
Is, Perkins had the cheek to try his
scheme oil In-. I'ml) the first target of
every seotundrel who lias somoething to
sell, and I've lea rned imanly of their
tricks. I didn't listen to all he had to
say, but got rid of hi1111 as soon Is I
could. You must not blame the old
man. As I 'ee it now, It was a most
plausible scheme, and the shame of it
is that no oil ('tillee be handled for it.
Your' father% wIll have to grin and bear
it. lie really d(Iln't pay a fabulous
price for the land, and,(I If he were in a
ceon(1itlon to hold on to it for, say,

I've maide las been made by turning

Dolly slice it hilleed?"
"No; not for two weeks," replied
Alan. "I went to church with her
Sunday before last and have not seen
her since. I was wonldering If she had
heard about it."
"Oh, yes; she's heard It from tho colo
nel. It may surprise you, but the
thing has rubbed hini the wrong way."
"W3hy, I don't understand," exchilined
Alan. "lias he"
"The old miian has had about 2,000
acres of land over near your father's
purchases, antd it seenms timt he was
