Was hie father dead that a stranger had written? The boy had not yet received one of the promised monthly remittances from his father's Den- ver attorneys. When he tore open the let- ter it proved to be from them. " DEAR SIR., -We regret to adviee that the enclosed draft of fifty dollars is the sole remittance we can make at present for the benefit of yourself end sister. "The Bain Gold Milling Company has failed. The monthly dividends from your father's stock in that company were to be the source of your stipend. " Mr. Walton's whereabouts are not known to us. We have paid so many of his smaller debts, expecting his return, that we cannot make another advdnoe to you. However, if you choose with this money to come back to Denvert we will find you occupation in our office !until he is heard from. We recommend this course. Very truly, CUPPLES & GIRTON." "-Poor father 1" cried Olive when_Armajo showed this letter to her in the morning. " Poor father !" "He has not run away from his creditors. I'll say that for him," answered Armajo. "Twice he has failed and paid every debt in full. They need not fear. He is searching for new enterprisew" "Cupples & Girton say nothing about me 1" exclaimed Olive, in dismay, glancing ever the letter. "1 cannot go back to Syra- taloa. I have no one now to take care of me except father and you. What shall I do if you go ?" "'ether foresaw this. His affairs were in a bad state; so he sent you to commercial college, to fit you for self-support if worst came to worst. He feared he might not be able to provide for you. Don't you worry, Olive. As long as I live you shall be taken care of. But we may have trouble to get along at first." Then will you go to Denver ?" "No. _I have begun commercial college, and I shall finish. Our tuition is paid." Olive was relieved by his firm and decid- ed tones. But she could not forego the temptation to say archly, "1 thought you despised( commercial college -that you'd go to Australia rather than stay." " HuSh That wae-.--waui a foolish letter, Olive." 1 " Oh, forgive me !" cried Olive, filled with compunction now that headmitted his error. It WA, the first time his resolute spirit had ever bent so far. "How good of you to stay with me ? I can help toot If• you are not afraid 1 am not." And DOW Armajo disclosed the latent force of his character. The crisis which would have overcome many lads aroused his native resistance. Never had Olive seen him so buoyant, 80 cheerful, so composed as on that memorable morning. He went with her to Farwell's as usual, and left her at work. Then he went to Mr. Gifford's office, in Nassau Street, showed the letter, and made a manly appeal for em- ployment. The lawyer was as good as his word. He promised the youth work at collections and various errands every afternoon'at wages sufficient to pay lie and Olive's board, and opportunity for advancement - if he were found capable. Armato was punctually on hand after dinner, and began his work with care and energy. The next afternoon Olive insiated on ac- companying him. She took specimens of her type -writing, in which she had become well practised, and her mannermand appear- ance pleased Mr. Gifford so much that she, too, was engaged, and spent her afternoons in copying legal documents. They now led a busy life. Olive, anxious to fit herself to be an amanuensis, began the study of shorthand, Armajo, who had fonnd her fitful .and sotnewhae lacking in application, took up this study 'also, to make sure of her success. His unflagging per- sistence and prompt habits were of great as- sistance to. her. Music was laid aside. The evenings were passed in this new study. Every forenoon the two were in their places at Farvvell's. Single and double entry were now mastered, and Armajo's turn had come for a few days in the banking corps. Kit still bore him company. At odd times Armajo devoted himself in) penman- ship, in which he was making great improve- , inent. One morning, about ten days after Arma received the letter, he found at the writing table a new pupil -a sinewy young man of his own age, with deep-set eyes and sober countenance. Arinajo felt drawn to the stranger because his face was tanned to a deep brown, as if he had been much in the o.i)en air. Armajo himself had felt con- spicuous for the first month after his arrival there, on account of his sunburned appear- ance. „mer But the newcomer, however, was reticent at first, He made little response to Arma's friendly advances until the next foreno8n, when he was introduced to Armajo by Lenmence Gifford. He then became quite talkative. The new -comer, whose name was Burt Hincb, then discovered through some re- mark that Armajo came from Colorado. He expressed surprise. "1 thought you were one of us! Nobody would take you for a Westerner." "Am I not one of you ?" retorted Arma. He had been nettled before my like com- ments. "Why should anybody from the West be different ? I remember hearing in Denver of one clergyman who had a hun- dred and seven Eastern college graduetes in his church. Our Colorado settlers are the schoolmates, brothegs and old comrades of Eastern folks. Theitclimate doesn't change us. Cut a slice out of New York and not it down beside Denver, and you couldn't tell the two apart. Oat% in the West people are more free and hearty with each other." Hinch shrugged hie shoulders. "Well well, Pm not finding fault. My folks earn a good part of their income in that very taste. I hope to visit Colorado myself soon. I have never been farther west than Michigan ; I was there last summer with father, inspecting an iror mine." " Does he own an iron mine ?" queried Armajo, quite interested. "No. Father is an assayer and mining expert. Goes all over the country, investi- gating for capitalists. He has been to Col- orado several times. The names of towns and localities there are not inviting to East- ern ears -Grizzly Forks, Hangman's Creek, Skeleton George and the rest." Armajo, though little pleased, laughed silently. " Still some of your towns have pretty names. Ruby and Aspen, for instance. And Trefoil. Is Trefoil much of a place ?" "No. Twenty or thirty tents and huts. Nothing but a carnp," said Armajo. How his memory aped back to the buff rise of Mount Crum, to the rows of snowy peaks -and that lonely grave beneath the drooping fir! Hinch seemed surprised. "1 thought Trefoil was a town. Father says it ought to make a city, judging by the ore there." " Ore ? Trefoil had only low grade pros- pects, the last I knew." •‘ You're behind the times," rejoined Hinch, shrugging his shoulders. "Come to New York if you want to learn the news. Father has been receiving samples for amity from Trefoil for several months past -high grade ore, running up to a thousand °unfree or so per ton." "Who sent them ?" asked Armajo, breathlessly. This was an astonishing discovery. Tbere Children Cry for had beeu few prospectors in Trefoil outside of his father's employes. None of these had ' found anything of acknowledged value when he left. Much, bending over his copy, did not perceive Armajo's excitement. He looked up and answered frankly, "His name is Sandoval." "Sandoval 1" This sharp repetition startled Hinoh. Both lade laid down their pens, and gazed &cross the table at each other suspiciously. Armajo's thoughts flew book to the camp- fires of the silver miners, where time Upon time he had listened to the iegends. He knew well those familiar stories of treach- ery by workmen and partners. He knew well how carefully each prospector guards his secrete, and how common and how vari- ous are the betrayals of trust. Sandoval had worked steadily in the Hi - Spy for a year prior to Armajo's departure. The youth now recalled that the foreman reoeived an unusual amount of mail, and re- called a time when he had seen him confer- ring mysteriously with the stage -driver, who took express packagein and out of camp. If he had sent valuable samples, they had come from the Hi -Spy. Therefore if he had found leads of high- grade ore, he had timbered over them and tunnelled off at new angler, hiding his dis- coveries until the claim should be abandon- ed, hoping to refile upon it, or buy it through some friend for a trifling sum. Hinoh, too, took alarm. The work of the mining expert and assayer is confiden- tial. He saw that he had unwittingly dis- closed a professional secret, which might be harmful to his father's reputation. " When did you get samples last ?" queri- ed Armajo. "See here, Walton," replied hie compan- ion in a changed tone, "don't repeat that information. L gave it to you in confi- dence." " Nothinf of the sort ! You voluntarily told me ore was sent from Trefoil. That is all I want to know," Hinch wrote on without further comment, but with a disturbed face. Presently he arose and went across to the commission booth. Watching him covertly, Armajo saw that he soon slipped quietly from the premises. The lad debated his course. It seemed improbable that an assayer in New York Would Ake any action beoanse the were fact of his amyl; had become known. Arma did not doubt that Hinoh had gone consci- entiously to tell his father of the accidental disclosure. But the father might be a friend of Sand- oval, or in collusion with him. To be sure, the ore after all might not come from the .Hi -Spy, but every precaution should be taken. Armajo soon decided upon his course. He went to hie sister, explained the epi- sode, and told her to make his excuses to Mr. Gifford for an afternoon's absence, in case he should not appear in Nassau Street that day. Then he hurried to the telegraph office and sent the following message to his father, in care of Cupples & Girton: "DOnot bond or sell Hi -Spy. Await my letter." Sitting in the Western Union office, he made a list of his father's friends and sesoci- atm; throughout Colorado so far as he knew them, -miners, bankers,contractors,freight- era and merchants, -and to each he sent a message briefly urging them to warn hie father against sale or pledge of the Hi -Spy. These telegram Arma continued freely until the fifty dollars he had recently receiv- ed Was gone. This was all the money he had with him, and nearly all he had in the world. Returning then to the college, Arma spent the remainder of the day writing letters to his father, informing him of the discovery. These duplicates he mailed singly in care of various friends, requesting each to for- ward the letter if his father's address were known. When Olive reached home that night it was dusk. She found that her brother had already returned and eaten supper. While taking her own repast Mrs Corwin answer- ed tbe door -bell. A telegram had come for Armajo. Olive was pleased by this quick response, and hoped that the warning might be of service to her father, and smooth matters between him abd Armajo. Her meal finish - ,ed, she went up to the study -room. Armajo was not there. Fragments of a manilla envelope lay on the carpet, and a crumpled yellow paper lay beside it. She picked this up. It was a message address- ed to Armajo, dated at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and read as follows: "Stay out your full term at Commercial College. Otherwise, farewell. Eugene Wal- ton."ltwas a reply, not to Armajo's recent messagee, but to that rash letter written weeks ago, which had evidently just reach- ed her father. It bade the boy obey, or leave the country as he had threatened. Olive trembled when she read this behest. A door opened near. She hurried out into the hall. Armejo was coming from his chamber. He bore his valise and violin case. Hie face was pale and drawn, his eyes glittered, and he tossed his head in high excitement. Olive, by a gesture' showed that she had the telegram, rind ledthe way back into the study -room. !Arm. followed; she closed the door, and he put down the valise and ease. " He had not received the word you sent to -day," she began. " You see what he says," interrupted Armajo. "What are you going to do ?" faltered Olive. The intense look of his eyee, the dilated nostrils, the firm lips alarmed her. " I told him I would go to Australia, and I shall !" This headstrong speech perplexed her. She saw that hie wrath had mastered his good sense, and that he might in his fury take extreme action. The relations between these two, 136w -- ever, had greatly changed of late. They had become intimate and cordial. Armajo was of an affectionate disposition. Save a few occasions, when the pair had been out to concerts, they had spent their evenings at the piano and in the study room to- gether. Olive had found her brother frank, cour- teous and devoted. He had been a little tyrannical at first, but her quiet persistence in matters wherein she did not care to ac- cept his commands had taught him to make them fewer. He had gradually yielded to her tact in everything except her businees habits. There he held her to her duty with unyielding watchfulness, Armajo, whose heart had been adrift after his mother's death, had found this kind and gentle sister a wonderful blessing. Far more than she could know, her sunny pres- ence had restored him to contentment. Thus they stood toward each other in this crisis no longer as strangers, but as brother and sieter, dear and familiar. How ,was she to save him from himself ? To turn his mind until passion cooled? Op- position would be useless. She would ap. peal, not to his reason, but to his affection. Therefore, to his bitter declaration she simply replied : "Arma, you will not leave me to make my way alone ?" He looked at her, startled. He struck his hand across his forehead and uttered an inarticulate cry. It was the overthrow of selfishness under the rise of better feelings. He turned away -was it to hide tears? For soon he answered in a broken, husky voice: " No, no ! I can't do that, Olive." A knock upon the door. Mrs. Corwin opened it to say, " Thi a gentleman wishes to see you." To the surprise of both, Criss -Cross cense in. Pitcher's Castoria: CHAPTER VL THE SECOND REPLY. As Kit entered their room, Olive and Ar- majo saw that he was not in hie usual jaunty hurnor. His face was gloomy. Absorbed in his own mood, he did not observe the agita- tion of his friends. "1 invited myself," said he; with a Wave of the hand. "1 need the help of some one who has a brass -mounted resolution, and can tree through a stone wall. I'm In a scrape. I've lost my money." " Is that all ?" sad Armajo. "No, but it's all I care to tell. Every cent gone. I enust leave New York, unless you can suggest ,a way of earning soImo- thi'llglicork 1 There is plenty to do. Look abolvvou, and do it 1" cried Armajo. ell, I may as well let you know the whole story," said Kit. " You are true friends. My folks are poor. I have been years saving money enough to take me through three months in commercial college. I put that money into our school savings - bank. It was deposited subject to my own or my parents' order. Day before yesterday I sent for the balance due to pay closing ex- penses in Farwell's, and the cashier writes that my father -my father -he-" "Your father has drawn the money ?" in- quired Olive, anxious to relieve his embar- rassment. Kit nodded. "Surely then he will send it to you ?" " 0, Miss Walton -he drinks," Armajo could not repress his indignation. " What a shame? Your father-" Cries -Cross interrupted firmly. "Wait till I call him names before you begin. A fellow must forgive a great deal to his own father. Besides, it is all my fault." "-How so ?" "1 should not have left him, He's kind and well-meaning when he lets liquor alone. If I am at home I keep him straight. Two years ago'on one of him sprees, he abused my little brother -made him a cripple for life. Father thinks everything of little Jack. His grief was terrible when he came to himself." "Since then mother usually send/ me with father when he leaves the house even- ings. If I see him tempted, I ask him for Jack's sake not to drink, and he never does. But now I am away his old comrades have coaxed him off. The reason I am try- ing, to get a start in life is to take him froni his bad associates there, and begin over again in some new place." Kit told as brave a story as possible, but his hearers could see behind the defence. His life had been one of piteous trial'. Ar - ma poke up decidedly. "Kraus, you oome with nee to -morrow morning, and I'll get you work at Gif- for:d' :I know. He took me from the colleo- Bat t do you suppose-" tions and oourt errands three days ago, and put me to work in the office. He will give you my old place if I ask it." "Thank you, Walton. I knew you'd find a way out.' "Arms is in trouble, too," said Olive, quietly. It occurred to her that Kit, -whose wits were clear and who had a knack of saying blunt truths to Armajo without giving of- fence, might be a potent ally in rescuing the young man from his preeent peril. She felt that her brother had already yielded a step when he bade Kit go with him next day to Gifford's, and Kit's story had also been a helpful diversion. So, unheeding Arma's frown'she went on: "Arma has a difference with our fathert He came East unwillingly to enter school!, and wrote back the first day that if father insisted that he stay at the school he should go to Anetralia. The letter never reached father until now. To -day he telegraphed that Arma mint stay." - Kit noticed the valise and violin -case which Armajo, in headlong anger, had brought from his room. Oliveto tone warn- ed him that the occasion was serious. At this he opened his eyes. "Why, Smith, I thought you liked com- mercial college ?" "1 do, but I wont be forced to go there." Kit sat down, regarded Armajo shrewdly, and spoke with care: "An they said in the law class yesterday, one must study both sides of the case. Why was the letter so long reaching him ?" Olive left Armajo to answer this query. He replied: " Father's enterprise at Trefoil was not a succets. He has not failed in business exactly, but he has been away, I suppose, hunting for mime new opening.' "1 think you told me once your father had provided for a year's expenses of you two in New York. So, although he is, per- hapa, in distrees himself, he looked' out for your interests beforehand. That was very generous. If he wae a drueliard, now, and took money from you instead -well, we won't talk about that. Smith,you would'nt banish every man from the United States who doment like fried clams ?" Armajo disdained reply, but Kit assumed an answer and went on: "Of course not. Nor compel all men to wear the same eized collars. People differ. These differences must be allowed for. We must adapt the means to the end. Some men can be handled one way, some another. Your father demands obedience. That is not unreasonable. The way to handle him is by obedience. It wins his good -will." Armajo remembered Lawrence Gifford. He recalled the resolutions of that night. He felt himself wrong, and was greatly shaken; but it was hard to submit. He re- torted : "1 told father I'd go to Australia. I don't threaten for nothing. What will he or anyone think if I say such a desperate thing, and then back down ?" " Pehaw ! It amounts to nothing. The day I left home I took little Jack out of the pear -time. He wanted to climb up, but he's a cripple, and -I knew it was unsafe. He shook his fist at me. Should I or he remem- ber that spitefully? Not much. He did'nt know any better, My the time I get home he will have had a fall or two, and found out I was right. " You've done the same thing. Yon shook your fist at your father, so to speak., You've found out you were wrong. Now go, ahead and forget the matter. It looks big to you because you're close to it. " Your father is a long way off. - It looks very small to him. Or, better still, write him plump, and admit your mistake." Armajo shook his head. He reflected e moment, then said a little sulkily, " Tell me what to say. I'll think of it." Kit pointed to Olive. "She knows more than both of us. She'll tell you." For reply, Olive drew pen and ink from a drawer and passed them s,crosa the table to Armajy°' Mdear father," she said, as a begin- ning. Be obeyed. 'Then he cried, " Wait I know what to -say next." A few minutes later he read what he had added : "When I was homesick and cross I wrote you a let- ter about leaving Farwell's. Since then Olive has done so much to make me happy, and we have enjoyed the school so much to- gether, that I am quite reconciled. I hope you will forget my former letter." " Why, that's enough of itself !" cried Criss•Cross. " Unlees you add this: You will see by my penmanship that I have im- proved the time 1' for you're becoming a famous writer, Smith. I blush." But Olive was beiiding across the table with glowing face. Tears stood in her eyes, and she placed her hand earnestly on his. "Do you mean that, Arma? Have I really done anything to make you happy ?" "Anything! Everything! I should be rash, unhappy, and I fear ruined but for you. I want to be worthy of each good - Children Cry for ness. I will try. Anyhow, I am thankful now," "0Ar Arma, and for 1,so, grateful to you for you'vealldone " Why, we're all grateful 1" exclaimed Kit. "Well; Mei Walton, you can be tbankful to him for being a little cross to you sometimes about your work. If you follow the rules he sets down, you'll draw salary of two thousand a year one of these days. Meantime I repeat, what a thankful triangle we are ?" The letter was written, and Kit mailed it on his way home, The valise and violin - case went back to Armajo's room. Next morning came another telegram from Albuquerque. It ran as follows ; " Wire me here brief information about Hi - Spy, and write fully by mail to Denver, - EUGENE .WALTON." To thiLt Armajo responded, sending a de- tailed adcount of his discovery to his father's address in Denver; and also much gossip concerning Olive and himself. True to his word, he took Christopher Kraus to Mr. Gifford, but found it difficult to get a position for his friend. The lawyer refused for a stranger the favors he had gladly shown Eugene Walton's son. But persistence won. Kit was taken on trial. He proved so capable that he was retained. The weeks wore away, and there came no farther word, from Colorado. Armajo was hurt by this silence. He finished the course at Farwell's. Then he; Olive and Criss -Cross went into Mr. Gifford's office for the entire day. The law attracted both the young men They attended to their duties with a vigi lance and care which put Lawrence on his mettle, and delighted the attorney. At last one evening when the three re turned home -for Kit now lodged at Mrs Corwin's also -the long -looked -for tette bad arrived, Armajo opened it breathlessly. Not till now could he really know how his own rash and hasty note was to be regarded. He read "My DEAR SON, -I thank you heartily for your sagacious course in notifying me of Sandy's triokery. A little later that prop- erty would have been lost. Overtures had been already made to buy me out at a nomi- nal price. "Tho past month I have spent at Trefoil. We stripped the tunnele, and uncovered two good leads in the Hi -Spy. I formed a com- pany, and have already sold considerable stook. Am on my feet again financially. I have delayed writing till I could tell you thi'll1"Your letter rejoices my heart. I am glad you found Olive so true and sensible. I knew it well when I sent you to her. She is like her mother, gifted with the patient graoe to quell and save our stormy race. "You mention having written me a wild letter some time since. If any such was written, let us now forget it. "There is haste in our blood. I look back with regret to my own boyhood. It is too late for me to change. Would that you might learn by precept. But you must travel the rugged road of experience like all the rest. " Since to you I am indebted for this change of fortue, I have thought it just to buy you a house in Denver, which may be your home. It is your's and Olive's jointly. I hope you will like the place. A modest, cozy corner, near enough to the business quarter. "Now I suggest, since you say you like the law so well, can never make a master in music, and must hold that secondary, that you come out here and enter Cupples & Girton's office. That is, if you feel really adapted to the law. Do nothing or do your bes,,t.Bring on the friend, too, who has been so helpful-" " Hallo ! I never mentioned Kit in my letter," cried Arms, in surprise. " I did," said Olive, laughing. " Indeed?" " I have written many letters that you knew nothing of," replied Olive, a little confused. " Umph 1 Well, let's finish." He read on. "-and hie father also. Perhaps we can get your friend into the office with you. I'll give the father employment, so the two can be together. " I fear that Olive thought me inconsider- ate when I ordered her so suddenly to New York. I was distracted at the time, end lacked leisure to explain. It is well that every woman should be equipped to support herself in an emergency. She is safer and more independent. "But all is changed now. Olive can either live with you in Denver, where you can keep a Chinaman-" • " Horrors!" ejaculated Olive. Her east ern tastes rebelled at the idea of employing a Cbivaman as a domestic servant. come with me to Trefoil. Poor old Hilary is gone, but I think I can find a Chinaman there. "Got to have a Chinaman anyhow," in- terjected Kit. "My bankers will remit you a draft in the morning. Come at once. I shall be in Denver for a month, and hope to see you soon. With beet love, your father. Euniora WALTON." " He writes a kind letter," commented Kit. "Yes. How I have misjudged him. He lets me off very cleverly., 1 wish-"Armajo hesitated-" I wish he was always as rea- sonable." " We'll make him so," Cried Olive, whose face was radiant. "He will do all that's right, if we do. And Arms, if he is some- times a little over -bearing and quick -spoken, let us take it for a lesson to ourselves and avoid such habits, not find offence." You are right," said Arm.. But he eighed as he looked at her and asked sober- ly, "Which will you do, keep house for father or for me ?" " Both ! He must make our house in Denver his home, of course. He must not be out in those cold ;mountains. I shall make him sell his mine and come to town. I've always wanted to live with father. I love to keep house. I can help you, too, in your law work. I know I can make you and father agree." "1 believe you can," cried Arma, thank- fully, "I -I"11 do my best out there, to please father." He paced the fioor in excitement. "Our course is plain. Kit, you and I will go into that office. In three years we'll open one of our own. We'll make mining law our specialty. I like the mines ! You should breathe the air on those snow peaks once And we'll lead the bar of Col- orado. -Mark my words. I am decided, We must stop at nothing less." " Consider it done 1" replied Kit. And he gave a loud hurrah, which made the policeman in Central Park come wondering, to peer out over his stone wall. When, a few days afterward, Armajo sat with his companions in the train that bore him westward where many of these bright hopes Were to be realized, he felt that the paet four months had been the most adven- turous of his whole life -not in physical buffetings, but in the sphere of the spirit. He was grateful to the sister and the friend whose sane and wholesome influence had turned the current of his nature toward better things. These kind offices he resolv- ed highly to repay. THE END. -Sarnia people are feeling sore at the way trade and American silver has slipped away from them since the Sarnia banks re- fused to take American silver notes at par. The Sarnians have simply gone to Port Hu- ron to spend their American silver and sil- ver oert ficatea Pitcher's Castoria: alone A SHORTENING. Down the street through the busy way A lady passed on .marketing day. Who, pausing at a grocery store, Stepped quickly in at the open door. With bated breath and anxious mien She queried: "have you COTTOL ENE?" The grocer, leaving off his work, Interrogated every clerk; But none up to that time had seen An article called" COTTOLENE." "What is it?" said he to the dame, "That answers to this curious name. What is it made of? What's its use? My ignorance you'll please excuse." "You're not the merchant far my dime, I see you're quite behind the times. For COTTOLENE, I'd have you know, Is now the thing that's all the go, An article of high regard; A healthful substitute for lard. Its composition pure and clean; For cooking give me GOTTOLENll." As from his store the lady fled, The grocer gently scratched his head— On his next order, first was seen, *Woe ;foam cases CO,,TTOLENE." Ask Your Grocer for it. Made only by N. K.
