"I'll be d—r—d if I do it," he mid, and then re• lapsed into his sullen ailence. "Then," said Strange slowly, "my principal will take such stepe as seem best to him, and I don't think you'll altogether like them.

"partner" Nugent for funds, a demand which was perforce com- plied with. Under the nervous strain Nugent became visibly aged and worn. From her childhood, Grace had never heard a cross or ungracious word from the father who to the rest of the world was so brusque and stern, but now, even to her, he was often snappish and crow Not only did he fret under the burden of shame laid on his shoulders by Strange,_ but it maddened him to think that hie. fortune, enormous as it had been, was fast melting away under the constant onslaughts made on •it by the younger man, and at; the "Lucky Shot" mine bad for years been un- productive there was a well-defined limit to the amount of money Nugent c..s.".(1 afford to lose.

"There goes a fellow worth fifty of yon or Strange," said Nugent, "end treated him as if he were a nigger." • "H'inin," snarled Lemuel, "you'd treat, inc in the same way, or worse, if you dared." "Certainly. But you see I don't dare," replied Nugent. Jack instead of descending to the , street when he left the office, stepped on the elevator and was whirled up • to the seventh story of the 'huge building. Here he knocked at a door marked No. 168, but bearin;; no other sign, and when he heard a deep voice roar "Come id" he turned the handle and found himself in a lyrge but plainly furnished apart- ment, in which the owner of the voice, who was none other than Harbld Proudfoot, was aitting scrib- bling for dear life at a table littered withbooks and papers. It was a whim of Proudfoot'e that a newspaper min should not live too far form the centre of his work And as he eaid be never knew when he might be wanted in the .office he he had taken a couple of rooms at the top of this tall office building, furnished one as a bedroom, the other as st study,and' here he spent a majority hf the hours which he did not, devote to actual office work. He went on writing, as though no one were present, for five minutes after Jack's entrance, and then, throwing down his pen, turned to his friend and said."What's wrongl' In as few a wards as possible Hous- ton explained the position of affairs to him, and ended by asking his advice. ' "You laughed at me the night before last," growled Proudfoot, "when I said your mine -owning friend had put his foot into it some titno, and that his clerk was a ras- cal, but perhaps I was right after all." "What makes you think that?" "Why, any one with a grain of common sense would see that old Nugent has in some way put him- self in Strange's power, and if you want to marry Mise Nugent I advise you to put youseelf on equal terms with your rival by finding out Nu - gent's secret." it' I dou't, why I may as well have the money. Now, on the day of my wedding to Miss Grace I'll make you a present of two docu• teents. One is the ante-mortem statement signed by John Houton, the other the deed which made two your partner. With the start I now have I can make a fortune easily enough for myself, for if I must, tell you the truth I have deliberately thrown away the firm's money dosing the past three months in order to bring you to terms, and I shall go ou doing so, knowing that yon dare not stop me uutil you do what I ask, One thing more I may add, I shall,do my best to be a good. husband to your daughter and to grat ify her every wish.

Your Grace," It did not take Jack long to reach the Nugent house on the receipt of this, and for the first time since the memorable interview with David Nugent ho crossed the threshold of his -house. While waiting for Grace to come down he wondered, as he had been wonder- ing ever since he received the note, what ' could have happened of sufficient importance to cause her to ask him to visit the house in de- fiance of her father's wishes. When she entered the room, pale and with deep black rings beneath her eyes, he knew something terrible h td happened, and started forward to fold her iu his arms. ."No, Jack," she said in a tone, "no. Don't kiss me. not worthy of your kisses." "Good God, Grace What -fou mean 1" , That I am false to you, Jack. I am a bad, bad girl.". "Don't talk nonsense like that, Grace," interrupted Jack, who began to think that his sweetheart had taken leave of her senses for the momett. "But I am, Jack dear—I have promised dad to—to—to marry Mr. Strange," and the coolness which she had boasted to herself sha would show disappeared in a flood of tears. "Marry old Strange—Oh, come now, Grace—you're joking." "I'ni not j -j -joking. Dad said it meant r -r -ruin and worse, and he c -c -cried, and I gave way and promised." weary 1 am Finally Lemuel Amok a blow, which the other felt even more than th, f his beloved dollars.

CHAPTER X. MB. NUGENT GIVES WAY. Tho next few months passed with out materially altering the condition of affairs, though as far as Jack was concerned he found the situa- tion far more bearable than he imagined would be the case when Nugent with such brutal frankness; forbid hire the how°. Grace in fact had risen to the occasion. She absolutely refused: to give her father the assurance he demanded that she would not meet Jack. "Of course," she said, "yon can prevent him coining to see me here, but I shall see him, where and when I can outside this house. We are in the nineteenth century now, Dad, 11111.14.a3vier:CC- "No. What good Would it belie done me to know 1 I suppose the old scoundrel has beeu speculating, and the market has gone the wrong way." "Well, Jack, I always thought you were an 585," was the eoneola- tory response, "and now I would gamble my last week's salary on it:" "That's like you, Harold: A follow coulee to you for serious advice and yon sit there chucking out abusive remarks, which are in very bad taste, lot me tell you."' "Tut, tnt, Jack, don't get on the high horse: I wise increly° statits. g a 'self-evideue provosition, and if yoli'll 'only keep your temper I'll thiuk what we can do to help twitters." Aud he took his feet dowu from the window sill, and replacing the in with his elbows ; leaned his chiu 40 his two hands and stared out through the dusk, which was rapidly becoming dark- ness, at the tall, ghostly-lookims, building over the way, "Shall I light the gas 1" asked Jack after a pause. "You're deuced cheerful company, of course, but I'm bound to say a little light would empha- size the uproarious merriment of your conversation." "Jack," said Proudfoot abruptly, "don't hurt yourself in trying to be funny, but tell me something. Do you know any friend of Mr. Nugent's who is tall, thin, with a moustache, and long gray hair, and who wears a brood -brimmed som- brero?"

"And so you mean to say that because your father imagines that that beast of a Strange can help him out of his difficulties, whatever they may be, you are to bo sacri- ficed 1" "C -c -calling Mr. Strange a a b b -beast will do no good. I have to marry hina, sad that is what is breaking my heart." "But my dear Grace, don't you think that I have something to say in the matter. I have, at any rate, and I say that you are not going to marry this miserable fellow." "Oh, Jack, don't you understandl It's to cave poor old Dad." And this was with slight varia- tions, the sum of Grace's conversa- tion. Jack argued with her, scold- ed her, went on hie knees to her, all to no purpose. She had made up her mind, she said, that it was her duty to do as her father wished; and duty, in Grace Nugent's eyes, was a don of divinity to which she constantly bowed the head. Then Jack, as was natural, grew angry and reproached het for her heart- lessness, to which she meekly assen- ted, and finally he flung himself out of the house, leaving her, like a modern Niobe, all tears, lint tears and recriminations do not help much in matters of this sort, and so Jack concluded when such sage conclusions were of no avail. He went straight from Grace's presence to hie aunt's house, but the poor old lady did not do much to soothe him. She opened the vials af her wrath on Grace, and though Jack persuaded himself that he was angry with his sweetheart himself, he would not allow any one elee to bo so, and the consequence of Aunt Jane's well -meant effort to please "I don't understand it, Strange," be querulously said, "I don't under- stand it at all." "Theta is not the least reason that you should, Mr. Nugent," said Lemuel, whose insolence was ran'. dered the more irritating by hie retention of hie old obsequious and fawning tone. "But never mind that statement. I have something of more importance to epoak to you about." "Go on," said Nugent wearily. "You may remember that on the day when you wore kind enough to take me into partnership, and give other tokens of your confidence in me," and Lemuel grinned, "I ven- tured to suggest that you should use your influence with Miss Grace, and try and convince her that the dearest wish of your life is to see me your son -in law." "I told you what I'd do and I have done it," replied Nugent sullenly, "I have forbid young Houston to visit her and what more can I do ?" "That I leave to you.

Both the patties concerned are yoing meu living on the 2nd line of Era - those. It would appear that as the result of a quarrel two years ago, some say over a girl, there has been a grudge between the two ever since and that Dyson had expressed his intention of getting even with the other. Last Friday night furnished the opportunit!, and while Har- wood and a young lady were dr i vi,ng along his rig was stopped by Dyson and two friends, whom he did not recognize. One held his horse while the other went on the left side of his buggy and Dyson on the right side. The girl jumped from the buggy and got out of the way. Harwood says Dyson hit him a vicious blow on the head with the whipstock, breaking it and stunning him. Ile then abused him brutally as his face, head and hands even now boar witness, arid then left him. Harwood's brother corrobor atod bis story as to his treatment, hia face being.covered with bruises and blood when ho reached home. The magistrate committed Dyson to stand his trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction. He accep- ted bail for his appearance, himself in $600 and two sureties $500 each, which was furnished.
