Simple timidity does not explain his readiness to enter into this unlawful business, followed by his flight when the day drew near for the demand frem these evil men for money I would be glad to believe that it was his love for Miss Lawrence that took him across the ocean, but his per- sistency in making his term of absence a year gives me a discomforting sus- picion of which I cannot free myself. Strange that he does not name an address through which I can commaini- cate with him. If he is kept away, after learning the whereabouts of Miss Lawrence, by his dread of Discoe and Huke, I cen:quickly remove that fear. and I will not permit myself to believe that any ether cause can hold him in check. My thoughts were revolving in this channel, when a letter dropped through the slit in the door. Snatching it up. my heart Beat more quickly as I re- cognized the writing of Harold West- cott, so like my own. The envelope bore the London postmark : , My Dear Other Self,—I am back at :the berkeiey, which ers for couple of weeks, when 1 think of making a lengthy trip on the Won- tinent.

If such were the fact, the storm would soon break on my head. Deprived of every dollar in the world, and Impos- shorn of my miraculous strength, in a position where it looked sible to deny that I was Harold West- cott, my doom would be as hopeless as that ot Tom Discoe or Jake Huke. Such was my reasoning, but how pre we mortals are to go astray! I was not within a thousand miles of the truth. My reflections were not of a plea- Sant nature. It looked as if I had walked into every trap set for me and was deprived of every chance of es- cape. At any rate he has written to Miss Lawrence and made everything clear to her. So hereafter 1 must avoid her.” The temptation was strong to write to Harold, taking him severely to task, with the threat that if he did not do my bidding I would expose him at all costs. Great as would be the scandal, revertheless I could convince sas possible for me, through an ap- peal to my collese mates and the friends of my boyhood, to establish my identity. ** However, I will wait until his let- ter arrives.”’ It was now noon, and I startecé down town. At precisely the same minute that I entered the broker's office on the preceding day I st2pped across the threshold again to learn my financial fate. I quickly learned it. J Binks CHAPTER XIX. ir A REVELATION, With the same bland smile that he had greeted me on the preceding day the broker came forward and extend- ed his hand. Nv doubt the headsman becomes so accustomed to his ghastly business that he can thus welcome his victims. “Mr. Westcott, have you ever specu- lated in Wall street before ?’’ ** Never.” “Nor in any kind of stocks ?” “In none whatever.” ‘ “Will you promise toe follow my ad- vice ?’’ “Thats asking a good deal, ec a but I | think it is safe to give you my pledge.” risk another dollar as ** Never did yesterday.’ “You have my promise to that ef- fect.”’ Aad I added, mentally, ‘It is a safe pledge to make, since I shall never be able to break it.” “You are a young man, and I have seen sO many ruined by doing as you you did that my heart goes eut in sym- pathy for them.

Within the same hour the cheque was deposited in the Astor hank up town, which, I may say, was nat the one where Harold Westcott kept his account. “Jt will prevent future mistakes,’ I seit, recalling the error in his state- ment to me;regarding his balance. “We can’t be too careful of such things.”’ On the sixth day following the ex- pected letter arrived from Harold. It was tengthy and left nething to be told :— Dear Sir.,—I have concluded to make a clean breast of everything. Since telegram showed that you knew cf iss Lawrence's return to New York S probable that you have met her. At jieast you learned that she and I[ were enzaged in marriage to each other. This is a deuced unpleasant fact when I inform you that I am already a mar- ried man.

All now is clear sailing, and with best wishes, 1 am, WALCOTT. It was some minutes before I could raster my emotions sufficiently to rea son over the unprecedented state of affairs. My first impulse was to send him every dollar in my possession, and I actually sent out to do mon sense intervened. “Yesterday and to-day, down to the mcment I received this letter, the $25,000 was as much mine as is the suit of clothes I am wearing, but not a cent belongs to me mow, for to Keep | ft would be to accept the wages of sin.

From the gross amount I will deduct the $25,000, plus the small sum he turned over to me be- fore his departure, and send it to him. ibe rest belengs to me.” I was impatient to -earry out my de- cision, No doubt, now that Harold had a spendthrift wife on his hands, he would be glad to receive the money, and any indignant comment I chose to make would be thrown away. A b:ll of exchange for the exact Sum Was purchased, placed in an en- velope and directed to H. O. Walcott, Berkeley house, London. The hard- est thing to do was to restrain myself from giving rein to my consuming in- dignation. I did write a letter, such as would have blistered the hide of @ ririnoceros, but after reading it over twisted it up and held a lighted match t@ the corner until it was ashes. “He would call it a deuced good joke. He would show it to the we- man with him, and she, too, would laugh at the absurdity of it. They shall not have that consolation.” So when the missive reached Harold be found within the envelope a @raft fer the amount named. There was net a single werd. He would under- stand it.

A celebrated naturalist, in speak- ing of this remarkable tree, uses the fol- lowing language: ‘A curious instance of seed scaticring (shooting them from the pod) is afforded by Hura crepitans, a hand- wmMe tree which is quite common in the valley of the Amazon. This tree has a pe wilhiay Peeead 7 + ; culiar fruit, somewhat flattened, with a deeply furrowed or fluted body, made up of a circle of many cells, each containing one secd.
