The press maligned it self, and seemed determined to prov itself not only unjust but merciless To satisfy the public's demand for DOW the most sacred of human rights were violated. Defence was just as impos- sible as redress. Everett kept the pa pers from his mother and Mollie; but Rose carefully read and. collected ev- ery item of interest and information A week had passed since Everett's visit, and she was busy one afternoon in her own room when she saw a carriage at the gate, out of which stepped a wo- man in black heavily veiled. It was Mrs. Everett, and she was shown up directly to Rose, witb whom she begged a private interview. Her manner was sad and colleeted, and to- gether with her mourning gave Rose a painful impression. Her tones were measured, as if she had nerved herself to a certain purpose and was deter- mined to carry it through. She ig- nored Ross anxiety' and went direct- ly to the point.

The beat was on te lofty parapet. I told Crtualey to wait until he BEM the tiger side on, and then to Eire. If his shot failed, the beast would opine down to me at the southern end of the parapet. Well, on came the beaters, and when I judged frona their shouts that they wen) well past Cran- ley's post, and no shot rang out, I na- turally concluded there was no tiger, "After I bad waited a little longer this confusion was so oertain that I want round my end of the parapet to the other side to meet the beaters and make enquiries.

I only live to prevent We shame, this slander, these foul charges, - that no one can disprove, from falling upon my children! Rose, have pity!" Mrs. Everett, listen. I will do what I think is might; but I must think, You must let me have time." "Well—but how long 1" "I can write—to you—when—T write to—to Larry." "You will write to -night ?" "To-night—so soon? No—I must have , one night to myself—one night to eon- ; sider—to live it all over!" I "Another night of horror for tis 1" "But, indeed, try to do right !" "If you would only promise!" I "311 promise never to mention this interview." " You can do us a great, a lasting service, Rose, if you will." "/ ?" Rose was fatting quite close, facing her. "Yes. Perhaps you know that Mr. Everett was engaged in some very large operations. I cannot explain them in detail. I can only tall you the primal condition of things. His friends are satisfied that if he bad been here to carry them through they would have turned out successfully. As mat- ters stand, tbere is nothing to expect but complete ruin, and, with it eis- grace. " Why do you Burt yourself speaking of this? You knew that we believe in Mr. Everett's integrity. "I want to make you aware of the urgency of the ease—to put you in possession of the fads. This is the fif- teenth of the month; on the twentieth several of Mr. Everett's notes fall due. If they are protested, then his credit will be shattered and ruin is inevit- able. You are too young to under- stand it ; but is like pulling out the eorner-stone. So far, every effort has been made to protect his reputation, So much depends upon it. Not our for- tune only—hundreds will lose by his failure. It can be averted if some one with the adequate means will come for- ward and guarantee his creditore, against any lass, If these notes are promptly met confidence will be re-; stored, and his speculations, daring as they may appear to some, will bear , proper fruit." "What a grand, wonderful idea I Can such a person be found? "Yes. Everything necessary can be done. His notes will be promptly ac- cepted, his fair fame saved, his fortune preserved to him—to us if he is dead —all this will be properly done if you will cement to a proposition that lain here to make to you." " Oh, Mrs. Everett 1 What a strange speech ! What is there that I would refuse if by doing it I could help Lar- ry ?" " Would you sacrifice yourself—Sous own happiness—to secure his?" "X can't follow you. AN'hat do you "To give him up." GIV8 Mai tip? "Yes, And to do it so that it would prove effective you should promise to keep this interview a secret forever. He is in Boston. Ile must. never know of this compact—never suspect collusion. You have it all in your poever. You can save us from poverty and disgrace! Oh, Miss Minium have mercy upon us, and agree to what oak!" "Won't you tell me clearly what the plan is?" "Simply this: 'You break your en- gagement, say, by letter. That would save your feelings and his. If you met it would be difficult for you to conceal your grief in parting with him, and he might suspect that you were holding back your true reason. If you write, why, poor fellow it will break his heart, but he know e that disgrace is banging over us, and he will not have the courage to question your decision." "What would be think of met" "You must not be selfish, Never mind what he thinks of you. The thing before us is to save his name from puh- lic scorn. If you love him you will forget yourself and only work for his good, He may conclude that your filth - sr hes advised you to sever this eon- neetion. ''011, he never would accuse daddy of ✓ ele heartlessness 1" "Now to the point I time is short.

"If she loves bim wouldn't she do this anyhow whether be married her or not?" " Ah, well, you must not expect too much from lumen nature. She loves Larry, and in the 'abound his heart MaY go out her.

The carriage is waiting, and I'll take the next train to New York. No one knows of this visit. Is your grandmother here?" "She is lying down. She has felt this trouble very mueb. You know, she is • very fond of the Everetts." Perhaps for her sake you will save us now." Mrs. Everett went quickly from the ' house. Rose went about her ordinary affairs in a certain mechanical manner that habit bad made possible, while ber thoughts wandered. When her fa- ther was absent she saw to his share of the household arrangements—a duty that took her out of doors and abroad. It so happened that on this day there was no 'important matter to attend to. She could roam about the house and garden or sit down with her problem. No one wondered at her abstraction; it was only to be expected under the circumstances. The strange part of it was that when she attempted to rea- son beyond what Mts. Everett had so explicitly stated her mind would not work. The idea of giving up her lover —of breaking her engagement—would not be taken hold of by her mental processes. Her heart felt like a stone. She could not eat, and her grandmoth- er observed, but made no comment. She was not sleepy at her usual hour, but she went to her imona and sat by the window, wondering at this torpor of mind and body. Toward midnight there were sounds of an arrival. Rose ran out into the wide hall and saw her father and Ev- erett entering the one below her. The lamplight shone on their tired faces, and she went rapidly down the stair- case and surprised them by her appear- ance, She kissed her father and then turned to Everett. Something in his haggard features pierced her heart. She per her arms around his neck and her (Meek against his, and he held ber without speaking. E am hungry 1" said IvIr..Minturn. "Come, pet, isn't there. something nice in the cupboard? Larry and I got a bite at six o'clock but it was poor stuff." He followed Rose into the din- g on . You must get him to eat and drink, find we'll have to keep him here for a day or two. 'The boy is nearly crazy. Take my room and have it made up for him, It is the quietest and cool- est in the house. Control yourself, my child. Fretting isn't going to bring back Everett or pay debts. Come use your sweet bend, love!" He hugged her pneeionately and went buck to Everett, who had thrown him, self on a lounge in the hall. Rose eummeeed her most helpful meld, and, losing, sight of herself and ; her problem, devoted her thoughts to ; Everett's comfort. She even felt a de- sire to eat, and heguiled him into shar- ing things with her. Ells manner was even more pitiable than his appear- ance, The depression of despair 'had "Because you know nothing of the world." "T know a very, nice little bit of it, including you. Do you know that you are acting like somebody else? Where is your bops? Do you hear from college?" "Yes, I have the kindest letters. Everything is offered to induce me to bold my position there. I thought of leaving; but I overlooked the matter. There has been so much to think about; every day brings its own troubles." "What lovely hours we have had, Larry!" "Yes, they are all over zow." "I wonder why / think of them when I should be absorbed in your troubles I ley awake last night, going over the ball at Sherry's, ' The waltz musics rang in my ears. It was so charming and you cams so late," "The train was behind time." "Yes, and you were so excited about it that you grew handsome." "Is that sot" "That was Mi. Powers' solution of your appearance." Everett sighed wearily, Rose took his hand and pressed her cheek to it. "Larry, I suppose the idea of mar - rings is that a wife can stay with a man when be needs cats and comfort. When he is happy and prosp,erous tiny girl will be devoted to him." Her voice was low, as if she were thinking aloud. He gave her a scant- ing. bewildered look. "Do yon. remember the afternoon, that we left the Plower Show? We passed a church, and you wished that we could be married then." "You see, my intuition was cornet. Rose, that is a selfish thought! At least you are not involved in tbis misery. I want you to forget me. Yoa were born for sun- shine mei happinese Yoe must be saved from what wei have to suffer. I love you too dearly, ,sweetheart, to see you humiliated."

I don't believe that you will ever again be in such trouble as you are bearing now." Her voice sank.
