The Man
The Hour
By ALBERT fAT5Un itKnunL.

At sound of Lis secretary's naiue
Wainwrigbt hail sprung to bis feet and,
dumfounded. was leaning heavily on
the table, staring across the threshold
of the suddenly opened door.
There, framed in the dark doorway,
his face deatlfly pale, his eyes glowing
with a strange light as of murder,
stood Cynthia's brother.
His presence In the city hall was no
mere chance, but the climax of a series
of conferences between Bennett, Phe!an
and himself, dating from the night
of the administration ball, when, despite
his own resolve, the secretary's
hand bad been forced by the inquisitive
alderman and iiis identity revealed.
Bennett had been let into the secret
next day. and tlie trio nan nn<i a miw
hour talk from which i'lielnn had
emerged with the gleeful air of one
who had unexpectedly found a $1,000
bill. Thompson, too, had loft that conference
with a look of calm, intense
satisfaction that transfigured him.
Other conversations had followed,
one of them in the presence of notary,
stenographer and lawyers. The trap
at last was ready to lte sprang.
The financier for the first time in his
nine year close association with the
eeretary met the younger man's gaze
without seeing the latter droop in dot
erential submission. Now received
back look for look from his former abject
slave, and it was his own glance
that wavered before that concentrated
glare of hate.

bore a world of incredulous reproach.
Before him stood the one man on
earth in whom Wainwright had ever
placed implicit trust; to whom he had
confided his gravest business secrets;
the man whom he had so shrewdly
tested in countless ways and who had
proved stanchly incorruptible and loy

al, and now Thompson apparently confronted
him in the role of traitor?of
exultant spy.
"Thompson!" he exclaimed once
more, almost with a groan, as the secretary
advanced into the room until
only the width of the table separated
employer and employee.
Then the newcomer spoke for the
first time, in an oddly muffled voice, as
though fighting desperately for self restraint.
"No!" he contradicted. " 'Thompson'
no longer. Henceforth I am Garrison."
Wainwright's face grew gray. Breathless,
unbelieving,' he peered across at
tie pallid reatures 01 uxs new x.w, waving
In them the likeness to the old
friend whose ruin and death he had
caused. The haunting resemblance that
had often vaguely occurred to him
when watching Thompson at work now
returned in double force. But now, as
In a flash, it was explained, and be
knew that his secretary spoke the
truth.
"Yes," went on Thompson In that
amp rhoked. strueelinjr intonation. "1
am Harry Garrison. You wrecked my
father's life. You drove him to suicide.
You blasted his memory. You beggared
his children. I am his son?Harry
Garrison. Now do you begin to
understand?"
"You see, Mr. Wainwright," intervened
Bennett as the secretary's pentup
rage strangled the words in his
throat, "my guesswork lias a fairly reliable
backing."
But Wainwright did not hear. He
still stared, as one hypnotized, into the
blazing eyes of the man he had trusted.
"You've?you've played me false!" he
managed to gasp at length. "You
have"?
"Sure he has!" cut in Horrigan.
"Wbat'd I tell you last summer, Wainwright?
I said then you were foolish
to trust him so. I said he'd stand
watching. The minute I set eyes on
that lantern Jawed, glum face of his"?
"Played me false!" muttered Wainwright
again, dazed and doubting the
evidence of his own senses.
"Played you false?" jeered Thompson.
"Played you false? Why else
dUd I become your servant? What else
liave I been waiting all these horrible
years for? I've sat at your desk and
listened to your orders, never venturing
to say my soul was my own. Now
yqoTl listen to me." _
"Why do you bother with the little |
traitor, Wainwright?" scoffed Horrlgan. :
But the financier was standing mo- ;
tionless. leaning on the (able, his fin- j
gens spasmodically gripping its edge till
! the knuckles grew white. Ridiculously '
I like a cowed prisoner before the bar of !
j justice, he faced his fiery eyed young ;
: judge. j
"They sent for me," went on Thornp- ,
sou brokenly, jerkily, scarce intelligl- 1
ble as (he suppressed hatred of a dec- !
' adc battled for expression. "They sent
for me. My father had killed himself. !

With an effort that left him haggard
and trembling, Thompson forced hlmselfeto
calmer speech and continued:
"I answered your advertisement for
a secretary. I had no experience, yet
j out of ninety applicants you cnose me.
! That was fate. I knew iken that one
! day I should have you at my feet, as
j now I have. Fate fought for uie. I
j made myself necessary for you. I
. obeyed your hardest orders. I found
! out ways to please you. I fetched and
carried for you. I ran to anticipate
' your lightest wish, as though I was
your auoring son. It was 'I hope
j you're satisfied, sir.' and 'Let me do
that for you, sir,' and 'I am glad to
work overtime for you. sir. any time
you wish/ while every minute I had to
fight hard to keep from striking you
dead!"
"I must go!" groaned Wainwright,
: shuddering. "I can't stand this. I"?
"Oh, I made you think me a paragon!"
resumed the youth. "You took
to testing my honesty and loyalty in
clever ways that you thought I'd never
discover. I stood the tests. Then you
! trusted me. You fool! As If the fact
that I wasn't a crook proved I wasn't
your enemy! You could see no farther
than dollars and cents. When I didn't

and devoted to your interests. And

I "You were listening at the keyhole
l that day last summer," broke in Hori
rignn. "the time I pulled the office door
j opoy. and"?
"Then and always." answered TbompJ
son. "and." he added, his eyes returnj
ing to Wainwright's, "I copied every
confidential telegram or letter you sent.
I took down in shorthand every private
! interview of yours. I tracked the
I checks that completed your deals, and
when they came hack from the vaults
as vouchers r stole them. I've got

he shouted, screaming hysterically
and foaming at the mouth in his
abandonment of iusane fury. "I'm going
to kill you! To kill you!"
(continued n^t week.)

! many questions as the wise one can

^ J' -Much
sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach digest
food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all according
to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
