rubbing bis bands wben talking"/"
"I linve," was tlie answer, "and he
has the most hideous eyes I ever saw
in n human being. They look like a
cnt's in the dark. Dad told me once
he saw Frye look at a witness he was
cross examining in such a way that
the poor fellow forgot what his name
was and swore black was white.
Those eyes are vicious weapons, they
say, and he uses them to the utmost
when he wants to scare a witness."
"They make me feel creepy every
time I look at them," said Albert, and
then, as if anxious to change the subject,
he added: "Let's leave here,
Frnnk, and you come with mo to my
room, where we can have a quiet talk
together. I am in the dumps tonight
and jrant to unbosom my troubles to
yon."
CHAPTER VII.
'1\AflaAT ?Hs you, old man?" askI
yY I ed Frank after they were
hrdk-nrVil seated in Albert's room and
were smoking fraternal
pipes. "You look as if you had lost
your best friend."
"I did, last June, as you know," was
the rather sad answer, "and on top
or that I hate myself for one or two
things?for Instance, the escapndo wo
indulged In the other night, and being
Prye's slave, for another."
"I am sorry for the tlrst," responded
Frank. "It was my fault that you were
coaxed into it. I won't do it again, I
assure you. Don't worry over it, my
boy. It wasn't anything serious; only
just a little after theater fun and hearing
those sporty girls talk slang."
"Yes, and speeding a lot of money
for very poor fun," replied Albert "I
don't think any better of myself for doing
it, do you?"
"Oh, I don't think about it one way
or the other," answered Frank. "I
have so much time to kill, and that's
no worse than any other way."
"Well, of course it's all right, and as
you do not think jfhy the less of yourself
for doing it there is no harm," replied
Albert "Only I do, nnd so it is
worse for me than for you.
"Now, you have a mother nnd sisters
who think well of you, ho doubt. How
would you have felt to have had any
one of them peep In that night and see
what manner of company you were in?
My mother is in her grave, but maybe
she could see where I was and with
whom I was that evening, and the
thought makes me feel mean, I have a
sister, one of the purest and sweetest
little women God ever blessed the earth
with, and not for all that I can earn
In one year would I have her know
what a foolish thing I did. For two
days I was so ashamed of myself I felt
miserably."
Frank sat in stupefied silence at his
friend's outburst. "If I had imagined
you were going to feel that way, old
man," he said at last, "I would never
^ have urged you to go with me. I never
j will again, I assure you."
"Oh, I am as much to blame as yon,"
observed Albert. "I went willingly,
but after it was all over I was sorry I
did. I am no prude. I enjoy a little
V# v excitement and don't mind a social
\ avAntnff with n tnvw /rlon/lo Hnt It
doesn't pay to do things you despise
yourself for the next day."
"But," put in his friend, with a
quizzical look, "do you know you are
preaching a sermon, and I rather like
It, too? It sets me thinking. As for
such girls as we wined, I don't care a
< "i. **p for them. If I could find any other
and better amusement they might go
hang for all I care. I try tennis and
golf with fellows and girls in our set,
but that is tame sport. 1 go to 'functions'
once in awhile, and if I dance

and tlio more passe they oro the
worse they gush. The only thing I
really enjoy is yachting, and then I
aave trouble to tlml good fellows wno
have time to go with me. Once in
awhile I get disgusted with myself
und wish I had to work for u living."
Albert looked surprised. Was it possible
that this young and handsome
fellow, with dark brown honest eyes,
turly black hair and garb and manner
tf refinement, who never had known
what it was to work, really wanted to
earn his own way in the world, just
from sheer ennui?
"It seems to me you have everything
to be thankful for, Frank," Albert said
at last in a dejected tone?"a kind father,
good home, plenty of friends, a
pleo yacht, all the money you want
and nothing to do. With me it is different.
Would it boro you Jf I unloaded
a little of my history?"
"Not a bit," answered Frank. "I
would really like to hear it."
"Well," continued Albert, "when we
were at college I was a little too proud
to let you know I was the only son of a
poor widow who was denying herself
every luxury to educate me, but it was
a fact. After we separated I tutored
some, read law and was admitted to
the bnr. I opened an otllee in my native
town and wasted a year waiting
for clients, while I read novels, sketched
and fished to the time. Last
June- ii'ij- left my
tpr and me an old hotee that has been
In the fapdly over iAceutury. n few
acres of meadow japds^ind maybe $200
In debts. Then I wrota to you. I was
more than grateful for the chance you
obtained for uie to woix for even such
a man as Frye. I an paying those
debts as fast as I can, and my sister Is
helping by teaching la a crossroad
scnooibouse niul walking four miles
eaol? day to do it."
"Ai)fl I coaxed you to go out and
spend rnonoy on a couple of ballet
girls!" responded Frank regretfully.
"Say, old man," reaching out his hand
and clasping Albert's, "if I had known
nil this that evening I would have bitten
my tongue before I asked you to go
with me."
"That is nil right," replied Albert. "I
phould have told you that nlglit what
I have told you now, but maybe I was
a little ashamed to do so."
"I would like to see that 'bravo sister
of yours," said Frank after u pause.
"From what you tell me, she must be a
trump."
Albert made no answer, hut going to
the mantel he took a framed photograph
that stood there and liuudcd it
to his friend, it was a picture of a
young girl with a face like an nrtlst's
dream and eyes like two pansles.
Frank ga/.ed at it long and earnestly.
"Your sister, I suppose," he said
at last, still looking at the face. "I

sermon you have this evening. You
must bo proud of her.''
Y/hen it cauie time for him to go
the two shook linuds with n warmer
clasp than ever, and when he was
gone the little room did not seem quite
so cheerless to Its occupant as before.
CHAPTER VIII.
"(smsnouLi) i,k?to i>e cx5il
A cused tomorrow forenoon,
wj1 Mr. Frye," aakl Albert n few
S2sl days later. "Frank has
promised to introduce me to" his
father."
"Certainly," replied Frye cheerfully.
"Take the entire day if you wish, and
I# kA..A J A *- -

tho acquaintance of the young lady of
whom I spoke to you, or at least take
| a good look at her. She Is tho key
j that will unlock the Information I
need, and I shall depend upon you to
obtain It."
"I will keep ir.y eyes open," replied
Albert aloud, mentally resolving that
it would not be in the interest of Frye
and his sinister plot. The next day he
met Frank by appointment, and tho
two called upon John Nason at his
office. Albert was greeted cordially,
and after an exchange of commonplaces
soon found himself being Interrogated
by a series of questions pertaining
to his home and college life,
his knowledgo of law and how he liked
his present employer. They were for
a purpose, as nil of John Nnson's business
questions were, and at their conclusion
he sold:
"I am glad to have met you. Mr.
- * ? . .. - 1
Tagc. My son has spoken la the highest
teruis of you, ami, what has interested
uic more, Mr. Frye has also. Ho does
not usually bestow much pralsetm any
one. but Is more apt to sjjeer. After
you are u little better acquainted with
legal proceedings here, come and see
me. 1 may be able to do something fo*
you. You might." addressing Frank,
as if to end the interview, "show Mr.
Page over the store now; it may interest
him." 41
After an hour spent walking through
the vast human hive, where over l.(KX>
clerks and salesgirls were employe',
the two friends returned to their club
for lunch.
"Well, what do yen think of the old
I cat':" asked Frank us he sat down.
"1 like him," was the answer. "He
talks to the purpose, though, and I
fancy his rapid tire questions were for
an object."
"You may be sure they were," replied
Frank, "and, what is more, I saw
by his expression that you had made n
good impression. l>o you know what
I did the other day? I told hiin all
about our escapade with the two
chorus girls and repeated all I could
recall of the sermon you preacliod
about It."
Albert looked nstouished.
"1 nm sorry you did that," he said.
"He must have thought me very weak
not to have refused In the first place.
Do you make a practice of confessing
all your larks to your father?"
"Oh, I don't conceal much," answeroil
Frnnlf lnn<rl.li??*!? ??tr? ?
- .UUBmueij lit- iiiin i arc
the best of friends, and he is so good
to me I haven't the heart to deceive
him. I had an object in telling him pf
our racket, however." And then, aftop
a pause: "I wish you were to be at
liberty this afternoon, Bert. I am going
to take the Gypsy round to Beverly
to her winter quarters and I'd like
your company."
"Well. I can go if I've a mind to."
answered Albert. "Frye said I might
take a day oft if I wished."
Frank looked astonlsliod. "Isn't ho
in danger of heart failure?" ho said,
"The old buzzard must bo getting stuck
on you, I should say."
When the two had boarded the yacht
and while the engineer was getting up
steam Frank showed his guest over
that craft.
"I am surprised at tlie size of your
boat," said Albert. "Why, she is large
enough for an ocean voyage!"
. "We may take one in her some day,"
replied Frank. "I believo sho cost
over $80,000, but dad bought lief for
less than half that at an assigneo's
sale,"
When steam was up they took a run
out around Minot's light and across to
Cape Ann, and as the day was a delightful
one Albert enjoyed It Immensely.
At Beverly they went ashore and,
leaving the crew to moor the yacht in
the stream between the two bridges,
returned. "
It was alnidBt Thaiiksglvlng time ore
Albert saw Mr. Nason again, and then
one dny Frank said to liiin: "I want
yon to cull on dad tomorrow. He
wants to see you."
The next day Albert took the elevator
to the fourth lloor, where Mr. Nason's
private otllco wns, and with beating
heart entered. Ilis greeting was
more cordial than before, and Mr.-Na80n,
who. It may be observed, was a
man that went about business as a
woodcutter chops a tree, said:
"Are you under contract or obligation
to remain with Mr. Frye any
specified time, Mr. Page?"

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"1 was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, crowing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given
me up. Then I was advised to use
Electric Hitters; to my great Joy, the
first bottle made a decided improvement.
I continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. I
know they robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try
them. Only 50c, guaranteed at F. C.
