CHAPTER XXII — CoimxccD
Miu Longworth left the ofllce end
getting into her cab waa driven to her
father’s place of business
“Well mjr girl" said tbeoM man
shoving his spectacles up on his brow
and gazing st her “w hat is it now some
new extravagance 7"
“Yes futher some new extrava-
gance" Ilia daughter was evidently
exalted and her breath erme quickly
Rhe closed the door and took a chair
opposite her father
“Father" she said “I have been your
business man as you call me now for
a long time”
“Yes you have Are you going to
strike for an InciVase in salary?”
“Father" she said earnestly not
heeding the Jocularity of histone“this
is very serious 1 want you to give me
some money for myself — to speculate
with”
“I will do that very gladly How
much do you want?” The old man
turned his chair round and pulled out
his check book
“1 want £30000" she answered
Mr Longworth wheeled quickly
round on her and looked at her In as-
tonishment “Thirty thousand what?”
“Thirty thousand pounda father and
I want it now — and I want it In cash'
“Jly dear girl” he expostulated
“have you any idea how much £ 300(h)
is? Do you know that £30000 Is a for-
tune?” “Yea I know that”
“Do you know thnt there is not one In
twenty of the richest merchants in Lon-
don who could at a moment’s notice
produce £30000 pounda in ready
money ?'
"Yea I ‘suppose that is true Have
you not the ready money?”
"Yes I have the money I can draw
a check for thut amount and it will be
honored at once but 1 cannot give you
so much money without kuowing what
you are going to do with it”
"And suppose father you do not ap-
prove of w hat I am goingtodo with It?'
"All the more reason niy dear that I
should know”
“Then futher I suppose you mean
that whatever service 1 have rendered
you — whatever comfort 1 have given
you — what I have been to you all my
life is not worth £ 30000“
“You shouldn't talk like that daugh-
ter Everything I have is yours or will
he when I die It is for you I work It
b for you I accumulate money You will
have everything I own the moment 1
have to lay down my work”
“Father" cried the young girl stand
lug up before him "I do not want your
money when you die I do not want
you to die as you very well know but
1 do want £ 30000 to-day and now
want it mors than I ever wanted any-
thing else before in my life or ever shall
again Will you give it to roe?”
“No I will not unlrsm you tell me
what you are going to do with it”
“Then father you can leave your
money to your nephew when you die
shall never touch a penny of it I now
bid you good-by I will go out from
this room and earn my own living'
With that the young woman turned to
go but her father with a sprightliness
one would not have expected from his
years sprang to the door and looked
at her with alarm
"Edith my child you never talked to
me like this before in your life Whatis
wrong with you?"
"Nothing father exerpt thnt I wont
a check for £30()0u und want it now'
"Aud do you mean tosuy that you will
leave me if I do not pile it to you?"
“Have you ever broken your word
father?"
“Never my child thnt I know of'
“Then retnemlier I am yourduughter
I have said if 1 do not get that money
now 1 shall never enterour house ngnin’
“But £ 30000 is a tremendous uinounl
Remember that I have given my word
too that I would not give you the money
unless you tell me what it was for
“Very well father I will tell you
what it is for w hen you ask me ami I
would advise you to give me the money
It will all he returned to you if you
want it"
"Oh I don't care about the money at
all Edith I merely of course don’t
want to see it wasted"
"And father have you no trust In
my judgment?"
“Well you know I haven't mneh faith
in any woman's Judgment in the mat-
ter of investing money"
“Trust uie this time father 1 shall
never ask you for uuy more”
The old man went slowly to his desk
wrote out a check and handed it to his
daughter It was for £30000
CHAPTER XXIIL
Edith Longworth with thnt precious
hit of aper in brr pocket once more
got into her bansotn and drove to Went-
worth's ofllce Again she took tbconly
easy chair in the room Jlcr fuce was
very serious nnd Wentworth the mo-
ment he saw it said to himself: “She
has failed"
"Have you telegraphed to Mr Ken-
yon?" she asked
“Yes"
“Are you sure you made it clear to
him w-hut was wanted? Cablegrams
are apt to be rather brief”
“I told him to keep in communication
with us Her is a copy of the cable-
gram" Misa Long-worth read it approvingly
but onid:
"You have not put In the word ‘an-
awer' "
“No hut I put it Id the dispatch
sent I remember that now"
"Have you hid an answer yet?"
"Oh no you see it takes a loug time
to get there because there are so many
changes from the end of the cable to
the oilier at which Kenyon is And
then again yon see they nmv hove to
look for him He may not be expecting
a message in fact he le sure not to be
expecting any From hie own cable-
gram to me it Is quits evident be has
given up all hope”
“Show me that cablegram please
Wentworth hesitated “It Is hardly
touched In language you will like to
read” he said
"That doesn’t mattej- Show It to
me I mustseeall the documents In the
case" Ue banded her the paper which
ehe read In eilence and gave it back to
him without worth
"I knew you wouldn’t ’tke it" ha
eaid
I have not Mid I do not like it It in
not n kit too ntrong under toe circum-
stances In fact 1 do not see bow he
could have put it In other words It in
very conciHe nnd to the point"
“Yea there la no doubt about that
especially the first three words: 'We are
cheated!' Those are the worda that
make me think Kenyon hsa given np
nil hope and so there will be some dif-
ficulty in finding him"
Did yon learn whether money could
be aent by cable or not V
“Oh yea there is no difficulty about
that The money is deposited in a bank
here and will be credited to Kenyon in
the bank at Ottawa"
“Very well then" said Miss Long-
worth handing him the piece of paper
“there Is the money"
Wentworth gave a long whistle as be
looked at it
“Excuse my rudeoese" be said “I
don't are a hit ol paper like this every
dny You mean then to buy the
mine?"
“Yea I mean to buy the mine”
“Very well but there la £ 10000 more
here than is necessary"
‘Yes I mean not only to buy the
mine but to work it: and some working
capital will be necessary How muck
do you suppose?”
’About that" Mid Wentworth 'I
have no idea I should think that
£ S000 would be ample”
"Then we will leave £3000 In the
bank here for the contingencies and
wa will cable £23003 to Mr Kenyon
1 shall expert him to get me a good
man to manage the mine I am sure
lie will be glad to do that"
“Most certainly he will John Ken-
yon now that the thine has not fallen
into the hands of those who tried to
rheat him will be glad to do anything
for the new owner of it Ho won’t
mind in the least losing his money if
he knows that you have the mine"
“Ah but that la the one thing be must
not know At to losing the money
neither you nor Mr Kenyon are to lose
a penny If the mine la all you think
it is then it will he wry profitable
Investment and 1 intend that we shall
each take our third just as if you hail
contributed one-third of the money and
Mr Kenyon the other"
“Hut my dear Miss Longworth that
is aliRurd We could never accept any
such terms"
“Oh yes you can I spoke to John
Kenyon myself about being a partner
in this mine I am afraid he thought
very little about it at the time I don't
intend him to know anything at nil
about my ownership now Re has dis-
covered the mine — yon and he to-
gether If it is valueless then you and
he will be two of the sufferers if it
is ail you think it is then yon will he
the gainers ‘The laborer is worthy of
his hire and I am sure both you and
Mr Kenyon have labored hard enough
in this vehture If he knows I have
bought it the chances are be will be stu-
pidly and stubbornly conscientious
and will take none of the fruits of hit
labors”
“And you think Misa Longworth I
am not conscientious enough to re-
fuse ?”
“Oh yes you are conscientious but
you are sensible Mr Kenyon isn't-'
“I think you are mistaken about thst
lie is one of the most sensible men In
the world morbidly sensible perhaps'
“Well I think if Mr Kenyon knew I
owned the mine he would not take a

penny as Ills share So I trust you will
never let him know 1 am the person w ho
gave the mouey to buy the mine"
“Hut is he never to know it Miss
Longworth?"
“i’erhapH not Ilut if he is to know 1
am the person to tell him"
"I quite agree with you there and I
shull resjiect your confidence"
“Now w bat time” said the young
lady loukingat her watch "ought we to
get un answer from Mr Kenyon?"
"Ah that as I said before noonecau
fell”
“I suppose then the best plan is to
scud tlie money at once or put it in the
way of being wok to some bank in
Ottawa"
“Yea tliat is the best thing to do
although of course if John Kenyon is
not t here—"
“If he is nottiKd-e what shall we do?”
“1 do not exuctly know I could cable
to Mr Von Brent Von Brent is the ow n-
er of the mine and the man who gave
John the option I do not know- hove
far he ia committed to the others If
be is as honest aa 1 take' him to be he
will accept the money provided it is
rent in before twelve o'clock and then
we shall have the mine Of that I know
nothing however because I have no
particulars except John's cable mes-
sage" “ Then 1 can do no more just now 7”
"Yea you can You will have to
write out a check for the £ 23000 You
see this check is crossed and w ill go
into your banking account Another
chock w ill have to be drawn to get the
money out"
"Ah 1 see I have not my check bool:
Ill-re but perhaps you run srud this
check to the bank and I will return
There will be time enough I suppose
before the closing hour of the bunk"
"Yes there will be plenty of time
Of course the sooner we get the money
away the better”
“I will return shortly after lunch
I'erhapa you will have beard from M r
Kenyon by then If anything comes
sooner will you send me a telegram?
Here Is my address"
”1 will do that” said Wentworth as
he buile her good-by
As soon aa lunch was over Miss Long-
worth with her cheek book went again
to Wentworth’s office When she en-
tered be shook his head
“No news yet" he said
“This ia terrible" she answered
"Suppose he haa left Ottawa aud start-
ed for home?"
“I do not think he would do that
Still I imagine he would think there
wee no reason for staying in Ottawa
Nevertheless I know Kenyon well
enough to believe that he will wait
there till the last minute of the option
has expired in the hope that eomething
may happen lie knows of course that
I shall be doing everything 1 ean in
London and he may have a faint ex-
pectation that I shall be able to accom-
plish eomething"
"It would be useless to cable again?"
"Quite If that message does not
reach him none will"
As he wee speaking a boy entered the
room with a telegram in hia hand Itt
contents were abort end to the point
“Cablegram received Kenyon”
"Well that’s all right" Mid Went-
worth “Now I shall cable that we have
the money and tell him to identify him-
self at the bank so that there will be no
formalities about the drawing of it to
detain him" Saying this Wentworth
pulled the telegram forme toward him
and after considerable labor managed
to concoct a dispatch that seemed to
Mtisfy him
“Don’t spare money on It" Mid the
young lady “Be sure and make it
plain to him"
T think that will do: don’t yon?"
’Yea" she answered after reading
the dispatch “that will do"
“Now" she Mid “hers ia the check
I will wait here while you do all that ia
necessary to cable the money or had
I better go and return again to see If
everything is all right?"
“If you don’t mind just sit where
you are You may lock the doer if you
like and you will not be disturbed”
It was an hour before Wentworth re-
turned but his face vu radiant “We
have done everything we can" he said
“The money is at his order there if the
cablegram gets over before twelve
o'clock to-morrow as I think it will”
“Very well then Good-by” Mid the
girl holding out her hand with a smile
“I am Mistress of the Mine Mr Went
worth!”
CHAPTER XXIV
If any man more miserable and de-
jected than John Kenyon lived in the
broad Dominion of Canada he was in-
deed a person to be pitied After hav-
ing sent bis cablegram to Wentworth
lie went to his very cheerleM hotel and
next morning when he woke up be knew
that Wentworth would have received
that message but that the chances were
ten thousand to one that be could not
get the money in time even if he could
get it at ail Still he resolved to stay in
Ottawa much as he detested the place
until the hour of option expired Than
he thought he would look around
among the mines and see U be could not
get something to do in the management
of one of them This would enable him
to make some money and to help pay
o(T the Indebtedness which be end
Wentworth would owe in London as
result of tbeir disastrous speculation
He felt so depressed that he did what
most other Englishmen would have
done in bis place he took a long walk
lie stood on the bridge over the Ottawa
river and gazed for a little while at the
Chandiere falls with the mist rising
from the chasm into which the waters
plunged Then he walked along the
other aide of the river among the big
sawmills and huge interminable piles of
lumber with tbeir grateful piney smell
By and by be found himself in the coun-
try and then the forest closed in upon
the bad road on which he walked Nev-
ertheless he kept on and on without
heeding where he was going Here
and there hr saw clearings in the woods
and a log sbanty or perhaps a barm
The result of all this was that being a
healthy man be soon developed an
'enormous appetite which foraed itself
upon his attention in spite of his de-
pression lie noticed the evening was
closing around him and so was glad to
come to a farmhouse that looked better
than the ordinary aiianty be bad left
behind Here he asked for food and
soon sat down to a plentiful meal the
coarseness of which was more than
compensated for by the excellence ot
his apjietite After dinner he began to
realize how tired he was and felt aston-
ished to hear from his host how far he
was from Ottawa
“You can’t get there to-night" said
the farmer “it la no use your trying
You stay with us to-night and I’ll take
you in to-morrow I’m going there in
the afternoon" And so Kenyon re-
mained all night and slept the dream-
less sleep of health and exhaustion

'Well yea you might call it so” she an-
swered aa she went out of the room In a

Scoff and Cough

to “take something for that cough" will keep
on coughing until he changes hia mind or

century — Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral But some
are scoffing and coughing yet They wheeze
