Because; Mrs. Mason?"The law-
yer whirled around 'with surprise and
vexation,
" Well,'things don't suit me, sir."
"Then why don't you tire the cook,
fire the butler, fire the whole blame
outfit if they don't suit you? I knotvl
Mr. 'Temple would' rather lose all of
'em than you."
Mrs. Mason finished the pipe rack
and began nervously plying her duster
among the antlers and engra' ed hunt-
ing scenes
"Oh, the servants are all right" said
she. "Mr. Temple has given me full
authority over them, 'Tisn't the serv-
ants I complain of. Besides, a lot of
them feel as I do, only they can't af-
ford to ,quit."
"Eh? What's wrong then?" demand-
ed Craven sharply. 'A light had fallen
on the darkness of his first surprise
He was beginning to understand.
Mrs. Mason left the antlers and hunt-
ing scenes and went to the favorite
guns.
"I've been strictly brought up, Mr.
Craven, and somehow I feel it ain't
right -it's doing violence to my con-
science -to stay on under this' roof."
For a second Craven studied her
curiously -this sturdy New England
housekeeper who for three years had
made the daily routine of living in the
Temple home a smooth and comfor-
table thing.
Her conscience -yes, that was it.
She %vas beginning to feel that she
could not live in the same place and
take money from a man whom she
considered had come by it unworthily.,
"Puritanism is as lasting in a family
as sin -to the third or fourth genera-,
tion," he thought to himself, the outer
corners of his eyes still contracted,
"I think, somehow, that sin might bo
easier to lop off the family tree."
"Yes," went on Mrs. Mason, "and I
can't work for a man who has done
;wickedly as Mr. Temple has. His con-
duct would reflect on me. There you
•ave it, Mr, Craven. My conscience
won't let me give silent consent to his
deeds by my presence?'
"Oh, 1 say, Mrs. Mason, come, come,"
laughed Craven in spite of himself.
"Get oft old Plymouth rock just for
once, that's a good soul!"
'"It might be 'better for your new
New York if it stood a bit firmer on
old Plymouth rock," snapped she, "in-
stead of Wall street quicksand." She
was about leaving the room in high
dudgeon when her eye chanced upon
some glaring headlines in the morn-
ing's paper which, with other journals,
Craven in his bustle had lung upon
the floor.
"See! See that!" she said, picking it
up and handing it triumphantly to the
lawyer. "It's that piece in today's pa-
per which has finally decided me to
make a change. All about the Granger
case and Mr. Temple's connection with
It. Look!"
"'Justice and high finance,' 1' read
CraVen half aloud in fine, sneering
fashion. "'The continued silence on
the part of Mr. 13urtoh Temple re-
garding his connection with tbe (&ran-
ger case -only confirms suspicion in the
minds of the thinking public' -
'Thinking public,' that's good!"
ejaculated be. He bit off the end of
a cigar. "Every successful man's a
ear.,and every rich man a .malefactor
in that blessed thinking public's eye."
"Just read it through, please," plead-
ed Mrs. Mason, with clasped hands.
"'When the law is so flagrantly de-
fied it is time that the American pub-
lic made a stand. The Granger case
has gone a step too far. It is one
thing for a rich man to avoid punish-
ment; it is, another thing for a richt
man to avoid punisliment by throwing
the guilt on another's shoulders. %There
is scarcely a man today who does not
believe that Robert Granger is a seape'.

CHAPTI+IIt III.
Tfre GRANGER CASE:
HE new secretary, equally as.
tonisbed, put her fingers to her
lips, eommnnding silence, and
Mrs: lviason v;itleti"ti the dis-
tance abruptly as Craven, ut the slight
noise, turned from the window.
"I'm Craven, Mr. Temple's legal ad-
viser," he said. "I suppose you are the
young woman Miss Graham bas ree-
ommended?"
The young woman nodded cheerful -
She looked very girlish and grace-
ful in spite of her dignity. "I trust
I'll prove worthy of Miss Graham's
recommendation, said she in low
contralto tones.
"Miss Grabam is thoroughly alive to
. the difficult nature of the work here
just at present. 1' take it for granted
she must have known you well and
felt convinced of your ability to give
satisfaction, otherwise"- Craven
opened his large Nebraskan hand with
an eloquent gesture.
Just'for an appreciable fraction of
a secEnd two fleeting dimples stirred
in the new secretary's oval cheeks.
"Miss Graham bas known me for
many years. She knows I will. do my
' duty "
'Looks as if you would, anyhow,"
agreed Craven bluntly. He turned to
Mrs. Masan, who still stood. eyes wide
open and chin down, the picture, of
prim, New England astonishment.
"AI r. Temple's housekeeper. Miss
Dale," said he. "You two must lie
friends."
The elder woman pulled herself to-
gether with an effort, atld with a
rather awkward consciousness held
out her band in response to Anna's
well poised, nonchalant greeting. The
Plymouth Rock conscience and diplo-
macy were not working well together,
and She, poor lady, was in dire straits.
"I understand I 'am to work here as
well as in the New York office?" said
!Anna, turning toward Craven and
adroitly keeping his attention focused
away from, Mrs. Mason..
"Uh-hub!" assented he. "For the
next few weeks we shall be unmerci-
fully rushed. "Ewen ordinarily Mr.
Temple carries on a large part of his
business here, but this case will give
him more than ever to do."
"The Granger case?" questioned the
new•secretary, with strange avidity.
Craven nodded.
"Well, perhaps you'll be kind enough
to explain this -this Granger case to
me a bit now while we have time? It
will save Mr. Temple that much exer-
tion." She spoke with pretty little
staccato catches in her breath, and ber
eyes were like stars. "An alert and
Intelligent young woman," commented
the lawyer to himself.
"Why, yes, Miss Dale," he respond-
er! aloud. "the case is very simple. Sit
down. About a ,year ago Mn Temple
rose to the presidency of the Gotham
Trust company. Robert Granger was
cashier- Cornelius Brady, a big finan-
cier, presented a check for $700,-
000. 11Ir. Temple did not feel justified
is certifying this check, and Brady,
without Temple's knowledge, went to
Granger and induced him to certify It,
making the wrest company responsible
for the money Now. Granger had no
right to sio this. you understand. It
was an of errrrtilirntion And the
o'sercertification of that cheek. coming
as it did just before the panic, helped
in large measrire to bring on the fail-
ure of th:' Gotham Trust eompany."
"But this Granger. did he not have
a defense?" asked the young woman
eagerly. tvatrhing Craven covertiy
fro n unclerRter black lashes.
'i)arense? 'Sure." ' grunted he. "He
lied. Tried like the devil to convince
the jury that Temple had given him an
order."
,"And there -bad been no order -writ

Granger said that G
He had a fair trial. He was convictei
ami! sent to Sing Sing. The jury gave
a rightful verdict."
"But why, may I ask, why has Mit
case come up again if it is all settled
and done for?" She brought the tips%
of her little gloved hands together iv
a play of pretty interest:
"Weil, Brady, the financier, has beer
doing a lot of talking, you see. Gran
ger's conviction reflects pretty Blackie
on him. Then, the sensational yellovt
journals have taken it up -you kilo";
the way. I should advise you, Mist
Dale, if yon wish to become an efficient
secretary to -Mr . eremple, to arrive
quickly at a bella'aent the guilt of that
Gra ger, now justly confined in the

tp t he river toward the grim walls 01

"And I've two boys, just the (nest,

know I always had a very warm spot
in my heart for you, Anna. Your moth
er and I" --
"Oh, I know, I know! Poor, beau-
tiful young mother of mine!" Hastily
Anna brushed away a bit of 'undue
moisture in her lustrous eyes. "How
she used to preach love and ideals to
me, and how you used to preach duty
and prinetples! Have you still that lit-
tle yellowed book compiled by your
great-grandmother filled with clippings
concerning the duties of motherhood,
the goodness of woman and the incon-
stancy of man? I remember tbe mar-
gins of .the book were strewn with
old recipes for the dressing of meats,
the preserving of fruits, the brewing
of cunning cordials, all of which struck
me as ministering to at least one con-
stancy in man -his devotion to a good
dinner, eh?" Anna laughed at the rec-
ollection.
"Yes, I still have it. And speaking
of dinners, have you grown to be a
good little housewife? I suppose your
husband -,nut, by the way, you haven't
1 yet told me your husband's name?"
A vivid crimson surged to Anna's
face, her slim neck, her little ears and
open brow. Then she threw back her
pretty, patrician bead proudly.
"My husband's name is Robert Gran-
ger."
They stared for an instant at each
other, woman to woman. Then Mrs.
Mason gasped:
"Robert Granger, the man" -
The young wife look 'd at her old
friend, almost sternly.
"The man who is in prison serving
a term that Burton Temple should be
serving. Oh, Mrs. Mason, what have
'I done? You must guard my conti-
dence sacredly -you must! You will,
Won't you -you will?" She was white
now and wide eyed with the import
of it all.
"Why, yes, dear; of course -of
course. But tell me, I don't under-
stand. Why are you here?"
"1 am here, Mrs. Mason, to find
some evidence that will clear my hus-
band's name and that will send the
guilty man to Sing Sing in his place."
The soft insistence with which she
pronounped her purpose was more
startling than any violence rould have
been.
' "How did you get Mary U r i hum's
position?" pursued Mrs. Mason,
"You see, Mary and I ba -•e beta
friends, real friends, for years. We
studied stenography in the same
school ten years ago. We're kept up
with each other ever since. When -
when all this trouble came I asked
her to help me, to see if tshe couldn't
find some clew, something that Would
help somehow. It seems Iike a merci-
ful providence that she had been sent
here. She tried, bite she couldn't..
Finally she suggested that I come my-
self. She made a plea of ill health,
and so it was quite simply managed,
you see."
-"But the children, Anna?"
"Oh, It nearly broke my heart to
leave them! But I had to, you see.
There's no'one else to do the fighting
for their father's honor. If 1 can only
find some evidence."
"You think there is hope of finding
some?"
"Oh, them' Is hope. But I've got to
fight for it: and, dear God, I'm going
to! I'm going to meet this Burton
Temple, and I'm going to fight him.
I'll be his faithful secretary, but I'll
spy upon him; I'll be his shadow.

She walked unthinkingly over to the

"Oh, whit was 1 saying!" she cried..
with a little penitent sop. "1 feel like

meshed,' that'e all. Mrs. Mason, do
you know," she tapped the likeness
eentemptuously, "I used to pass this
man nearly every day when I was in
Forbes' office -that was the first :zed
only stenographer's position I ever
held -coming In and Out of the Ex-
change building. I never knew who •
he ,was, but there was a something: -
about him, a set of the jaw, a awing
of the shoulders, all integrity and
force --something that stamped him to
nae as vital and eager, a p>;inee among
men. He carried his head up, his ehin
forward. He seemed to be cleaving
his way manfully through. life. He
tvas the fairy prince of my girlish
dreams. Oh, I wish -X wish it hadn't
been he!" There was'a very childish
tremble in the brave mouth, but she
went en;
/'Amid ail the incriminating mud
they cast at the big.suecessful men of
the day I've always clasped this man's
picture to my heart, saying, 'Here's
one at least who is fine and straight
and beg,' "
There was an unutterable, dumb
loneliness in the young face, n forlorn
lingering of the fingers, as uncon-
sciously she touched the discarded pic-
ture once again. One has seen a wo-
man look just in the same way as she
has touched the clothes of her little
dead child,
"And now, instead of being flue and
straight and big, he's unprincipled and
scheming and vicious, like all the rest.
Bang goes another ideal, Mrs. Mason.
He's the man who has branded tbe fa-
ther of my ,boys as a thief."
"S-sbI" cried Mrs. Mason warningly
again. There were heavy strides com-
ing down the corridor. The door of
the library opened abruptly. Anna
Granger had just time to collect her-
self as the president of the Gotham
entered, followed by Cato. his huge
mastiff -
"You'll have to jump right in and
take up the work where my secretary
left off, Miss Dale," saidehe after the
few preliminaries of courtesy had been
exchanged. "I shall give you," wav-
ing his hand i''aguely, "the keys to the
city. There are no limitations. You
will receive my mail and open it." He
paused for a second. "No; there is
one source of communication I wish
to remain private. Anything coming
to me from the New York detective bu-
reau you will kindly hand to me un-
opened."
"Precisely, Mr. Temple," agreed the
new secretary without the quiver of
an 'eyelash. The president of the
Gotham Trust company continued:
"From now on I shall have. an un-
usual amount of exacting business in
connection with this Granger ease.
You may have heard of it?"
"Yes," assented she, unbuttoning her
glove.
"Another thing, Miss Dale -a large
portion of the time I shall require you
to be up here. There are some days,
of course, when you will be free to go
to your own home, but practically I
shall want you to live in this house.
My mother is abroad just now. I'm
sorry. Mrs. Mason will make you
comfortable in her absence, I trust,
and now she will show you to your
room. Come down again when you've
settled yourself if you are not too tired.
There's plenty of work waiting, I see."
He turned to his much littered desk
as his housekeeper conducted Anna to
her room, and Cato settled down be-
fore the fireplace.
CHAPTER IV.
THE OBSTINATE TEMPLE.
folEE here, Temple," said Cra-
ven, coming windily into the
library, waving a sheet of
foolscap. "Here's a little
statement I've just prepared. Listen."
Burton Temple's brows went togeth-
er in never so slight .a spasm of wean
ness, but he said cheerfully enough:
"Fire ahead. I''l1 listen. Only, you
sive, you've got up so many 'little atate-
ments,' Craven."
"Hang it, man," exclaimed the lane
yer. "One would think it Was a mat-
ter of indifference with you wbether
you were proved innocent of this crime
or not. That's one of the Masons pub-
lic opinion is so against you. You're
so apparently unconcerned about the
'thole affair. Why, you ' walk along,

saying to the world, 'Take a punch at

In the whole ten years during which
Craven bad been Temple's friend and
lawyer this Granger case had been
the first matter over which they had
differed. But. then, It was the first
time that Temple had been personally
attacked. He tried now to put this
personal equation before bis friend.
"You see, dear Craven," he said in
explanation for his own apparent in-
different:e, "I appreciate your state-
ment which you wish to inflict on the
lie but don't you

little fact that your friend happens to
be the victim of their suspicion which
causes all this worry on your part?

compromise, to explain?"

The only remedy that can be Safelyi
employed for all forms of catarrhal
deafness is Catarrhozone. You simplltl
