Mr. Sutherland, who had found bis
faculties confused by the expression be
lind surprised on the young girl's face,
answered with a divided attention:
“And I have a message to give you
"Walt outside on tbe porch for me.
Frederick, till I exchange a word with
our little friend here.”
Agnes, who bad tbrust something she
field into a box that lay beside her on a ! gate click behind these

‘‘Oh.” she cried, holding nut her hands,
•‘such a good father! Some day he will
appreciate that fact as well as others.
Believe it. Mr Sutherland, believe it.”
And then, ushatnid of her glowing in
terest. which was a little more pro
nounced tiian tilted to her simple atti
tude of friend toward a man professed
ly in love with another woman, she
faltered n little and east the shyest of
looks upward at the grand tint iron-
bird face she had never se* n turned
toward her with anything hut kind
ness. "1 have confidence in his good
heart." she added, with something like
dignity.
“Would <5nd that 1 could share it!”
was the only answer she received. Be
fore she could recover from the shock
of these words Mr. Sutherland was
gone.
Agnes was a little troubled by this
interview, for after she had heard the

thing away with her up stairs there
was a lingering in the step with which
she trod the little white embowered
chamber, sacred to her girlish dreams,
that bespake an overcharged heart, a
heart that, before she slept, found re
lief in these few words that she whis
pered into the night air. laden wltu the
sweetness of honeysuckles:
“Can it tie that he is rigid? Did I

CHAPTER XX.
Aibv.itA's mint.
Meanwhile Mr Sutl'e;la: ! and Fred
erick stood facing each other in the
former’s library Noiliing had been
said during their walk down the hill,
J ami noiliing seemed likely to proceed
' from Frederick now. though liis father
waited with great and growing agita
tion for some explanation that would
relieve the in.uien.-e strain on his heart.
At last he hints. If spo il* dryly, as we
till speak when tin- heart is ftiHest and
we fear to reveal the depth of our
emotions.
“What pn*' ws were those you gave
Into Agnes Lallhhiy’s keeping? Any
thing which we could not have more
safely, nor to say discreetly, harbored
in our own house?”
Frederick, take” aback, for he had
not realised that ids father had seen
those iinp. s. hesitated for a moment;
then he bohllv said: ^
"They were lei ters—old,letters—wldeh

expected to repay it. Why? Vi hence
did you expect to receive the money
With which to repay me? Answer.
F:eib- iek. this is your hour for con
fession."
Fn deriek turned so pale his father
dn pped his eyes iu mercy.
"Confess?" he repeated. "What
should I confess? My sins? They are
too many As for that money. 1
hoped to pay It as any son might hope
to pay Ids father for money advanced
to pay a gambler’s debt. I said i
meant to work. My first money earn
ed shall be offered to you. I” —
"Well? Well?” His father was hold
ing the document he had just read
opened out before his eyes.
"ludn’t you expect this?” be asked.
“Didn’t you know that that poor wom
an. that wTetcbedly murdered, most
unhappy woman, whose death the
whole town mourns, had made you her
heir? That by the terms of this docu
ment seen by me here and now for the
first time. I am made executor and
you the inheritor of the $100,000 or
more left by Agatha Webb?"
"No!" cried Frederick. Ids eyes glued
to the paper. Ids whole face and form
expressing something more akin to ter
ror than surprise. "Has she done this?
Why * bould she? 1 hardly knew her.”
"No. you hardly knew her. Abd she?
She hardly knew you: if she had. sins
would have abhorred rather than on
rielied you. Frederick. I had rather
you were dead than stand before me
the inheritor of Philemon and Agatha
Webb’s hard earned savings.”
“You are right; it would he better.”
murmured Frederick, hardly heeding
what he said. Then, as he encounter
ed Ids father’s eye resting upon him
with implacable scrutiny, he added in
weak repetition: "But why give her
money to me? What was I to her that
she should wil! me ber fortuneV”
Tlie father's linger trembled to a cer
tain hue in the document, which seem
ed to offer some explanation of this,
but Frederick did not follow it. He
had seen that ids father was expecting
a repiy to tin* question he had pro-
vioti.My put. and lie was easting about
iu his mind how to answer it.
“When did you know of this will?”
Mr Sutherland now repeated. "For
know of it you did before you came to
me for money."
Frederick summoned up his full
courage and confronted his father res
olutel.v.
"No." said lie, “1 did not know of it.
It is as much of a surprise to me as it
is to you.”
He lied. Mr. Sutherland knew that
he did and Frederick knew that he
knew it. A shadow fell bet ween them,
which fheo’di r. with that unspeakable
ft r eji'.Mi him roused by Sweetwater's
whispered suspicion, dared no longer
to attempt to lift.
Afb r a few minutes, in which Fred
crick m emt-d to see lbs father age be
fore his eyes. .Mr Sutherland coldly
remarked:
‘‘l>r Talbot mu- t know of this will,
it has bet n .-etit here to me froir Bos

gforal in the pulpit and saw them car
rying tin* body lip the aisle I felt as if
1 could weep teats of blood On one
side of the pulpit sat Ids little child of
eight years, a sweet, beautiful little
girt, that I had seen him bug convul
sively in his better moments He pul
on her all jewels and gave her all pic
tures and toys, mid then he would go
away, as if hounded by an evil spirit,
to Ids cups and the house of iniquity, a
fool to the correction of the stocks. She
looked up woiideringly: sin- knew not
wisit it all meant: site was not old
enough to understand the sorrow of an
orphan. On the other side sat the men
who ruined him. They were tin* men
wlio had poured the woiiuwoud into
the orphan's cup: they were the men
who had bound him hand and foot I
knew them. How did they seem to
feel? Did they weep? No. Dal they
say. "What a pity that so generous u
man should be destroyed?” No. Did
they sigli repentingly over what they
had done? No; they sat there, looking '
as vultures look at the carcass of a i
lamb whose heart they have ripped out. !
So they sat and looked at tin* cotUn lid,
and I told them the judgment of Hod
upon those who had destroyed their
fellows. Did they reform? I was told
they were in the places of iniquity that
night aft* i my It .•••id was laid m uak
wood cemetery, and they blasphemed
and they drank Oh. how merciless
men are. especially after they have de
stroyed you! Do not look to men for
comfort or help
But there is a man who will not re
form He says, “1 won't reform.” |
Well. then, how many acts are there
In a tragedy? I believe there arc live
tu ts in a tragedy j
Act tlie tiisi of the tragedy: A young
man starting of! from home: parents
and sisters weeping to have him go;
wagon rising over the hill; farewell
ki ^ (lung hack. Ring the bell an i let
the curtain fall
Art the second: The marriage altar;
foil organ, bright lights; long white
veil trailing through the aisle; prayer
and congratulation and exeFnmit'ou of.
"IloW well she looks!"
Act the third: A woman waiting for
st a eg ring steps; old garments stu-k
into the broken window pane; marks
of hardship on the face; the biting of
the nails of bloodless lingers; neglect
Mill,enmity and di q>air Ring tin* bell
omi let the curtain drop
Act tin* fourth: Three graves In a
Life !« WImt We Make It.
"Our lives are what we make of them
ourselves,” writes Edward Bok In The
Ladies’ Home Journal. “If we are
weak and accept the artificial, our lives
will be so. and just in proportion as we
make our lives artificial we make them
profitless and unhappy. A happy life
cannot be lived In an atmosphere sur
charged with artificiality. That is im
possible. No hope is defeated unless
we defeat tiint hope ourselves; no life
,ls thwarted unless we th.vart its high
est fulfillment and development by our
own actions. It is with us. and with
us only, whether we allow tin* ‘swift
currents of prevailing customs' to make
our lives complex. They do unques
tionably. and they are dwarfing tlie in
ner lives of thousands of women and
killing thousands of others. But it is
cowardly and unjust to lay the blame
and the responsibility upon those ‘cus
toms.’ It is optional with us to accept
or reject them. There are certain so
cial laws which seem to make these
‘customs’ right, but every phase of a
higher law —the divine law —proves
them wrong. There must be certain
laws and customs for the protection of
the social body. These are likewise
for our own individual protection and
are right, and ordinary common sense
teaches us what these are.”

rather than bar that Mr. Sutheriaud

‘•When were these letters written?”
he asked "Lately or before— You

Frederick's breath came crMor.
"Some of them wore written years

wish 1 could late destroyed them.
You will leave them with Agnes, sir?”
"You a-u ini'-h me." said Mr. Suther

hope that these letters were in nowise
connected w ii ;ho subject of Ids owu
frightful suspicions. "A young girl to
whom you certainly were most indif
ferent a week ago Is a curious guar
dian of letters you decline to show
your father.” (
“I know it.” was Frederick’s sole re
ply.
Somehow the humility with which
tills was uttered touched Mr. Huther-
land and roused hopes ho had supposed
dead. He looked his son for the first
time directly Iu tlie eye and with u
beating in art said:
"Your sien ls. if you have such,

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
cr apoplexy are often the resuit of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad
vance the kidney-poisoned blood wiil attack
the vital organs, or tl.- kidneys themselves
break down and y, ,e away cell by cell.
Then the richness if tec blood—the albumen
—leaks out and the sufferer has Bright’s
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladesr
and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands
