"Well, it was seven years ago that
he married. His wife was much
younger than lie—a lovely girl, and
her parents were rich. How he got
her I do nut. see. Ii was Ills sift of the

well. Win* was not happy with him,
but *.,i.*, better contented when, two

Mrs. Dane's father died, and she canie
in under the will for more than $1,000,*
000 worth of property. Then Mr. Lane
chatigi d his luiblts. He became most
attentive to his wife. He looked to
her wants, and appeared to the world
as a model husband, lint more was
goins on than we knew. From the
little she told me. from the hints she
dropped, she roiis'i have looked upon
.-■'ii: with dread. She failed rapidly in
h.-iiub, and six months ago she died."
"Murdered?" I asked.

.Mrs. Knap p. "But there was no evi-
dence—not it panicle. I tried to find
it, hut it v.as beyond the power of the
doctors t.i discover."
"And his motive?"
"He thought lie was heir lo her for-
tune. When In- found that she had
Heaving a sigh ns of relief, she went
on:
"Mr. Lane was inssne, 1 tint cvtnlii.
I tried lo have Mr. Kiuipp take steps
to lock him up. Ililt Mr. Knapp cr.uld
not believe that Ills brother was so
wicked as to wish to take the life of
his own child. I think lie was feailul
of a scandal lu which tli" relationship
should become known, lint there was
it lime, a few weeks ago, when 1 was
near spurring Mr. Knapp to action. It
was at the time of his trip tn Virginia
Cily. Mr. Dane came to the house
while I was away and scared the ser-
vants imo Ills with his threats and
curses. I.uelia had the courage ami
tact, to face him and gel him out of the
house and 1 telegraphed for Mr.
Knapp."
"I remember the occasion, though
1 didn't know what was going on."
"Well, Mr. Knapp was very angry,
and had a long talk with Dane. He
told me that the creature cried and
pleaded for forgiveness and promised
amendment for the future. Ami Mr.
Knapp believed him. Yet lhat very
night you were assailed with I,uelia
In Chinatown."
The truth flashed oil me. The
groans antl cries behind the locked
door in Doodrldge Knapp's office, the
voices which were like to one man
pleading and arguing with himself,
were all explained.
"I think the assault was something
of an accident," she continued; "or,
rather, It was more the doing of Ter-
rill than of Dane."
"What was the cause of TenlUs
enmity?" I asked. "He seemed to take
a hearty personal interest in the case
for a hired man."

have no doubt It was very badly put,
but she listened seriously. Then she
said'
"That's very nice of you to want
me, hut I iitii going to marry I ho pres-
Idetn id the Omega Company."
I turned sick with despair at these
words so gently said, and a pang of
Jealously, tinged with wonder, shot
ti:rough me. "Surely she can't be In
love willi ilmt red-faced brute we
fought with in the Omega office," I
thought. I.uclla saw my distress as I
tried to rise iind lly from the place.
"Don't go." she said gently. "What
are you going ti do with your men?"
"The Iree companions are to be dis-
bandi d," 1 said, recovering myself
with a gulp.
"And you, Mr. Dudley?"
This question struck me a little
blank. I bad really not thought of
what I was going to do.
"It's another case of an occupation
gone," I said rather ruefully. "With
the break-up of the plots and the close
of tiie Omega deal I am at the end of
my employments."
Willi this view of the question be-
fore me, I fell into a panic of regrets
and began to blush furiously at my
folly in Imagining for an Instant that
I.uelia could think of rue for a bus-
band.
"No," said l.uella thoughtfully. "You
are just at the beginning."
The tone, even more than the words,
braced my nerves, and once more
there glowed within me a generous
courage of the future.
"You are right. I thank you," I said
feelingly. "I haw> faith in the oppor
limit! es."
"And I have faith—" said l.uella.
Th< n she stopped.
"In the man, I hope," i ventured.
I.nolia did tint answer, but she gave
me a look that meant more than
words. I was a trifle bewildered,
wondering where I stood in the eyes
of tiiis capricious young woman, but
til* speculations were cut short by the
coming iif Mrs. Knapp.
There was no reservation in her
greeting. As wo talked over the
events of the month, 1 found nothing
b-ft el' the silent opposition with which
she had watched my growing friend-
ship with the daughter ot the house.
Al last she cried:
"Ob. I had almost forgotten. Mr.
Kt.app wishes to see you in his room
iu'tnre you go."
; "1 am at. his service," I said, and
went al once to the den of the Wolf.
"Ah. Wilton, I find you're not Wii-
; ton." he growled amiably. The loss
of bis brother had not affected Ills
. spirits.
"Quite true." I said.
' You needn't explain," he ^aid. "The
women folks say li s all right, though
I don't iinii■ • tmriersiami ii myself."
"I can tell you the story." I said.
"I don waat la hear it.' he growled.
"I've tried ymi, a.rl that's enough for
I me."
i murmured my appreciation and
thanks ti r his good opinion.
The Wolf waved Ills bard as a dis-
posal if all acknowledgment, and
growied r. '.aia:
i "Have *iiii any engagements t'vtt
v.oi'.Id i.e"p • mi from taking the place
i i pre-dilent ta the Oni'.- 'a Company'.'"
I fell b e ll nn the elia'r. sp-'aehless.
"There'll tie a good salary." lie con
iit. ltd. ' Well, of course, you needn't

[ lo ihink over It I! you like."
The Wolf actually smiled.
"till, 1 don't need any time," I
gasped. "I'll take i: now."
■ We1!, you'll have tu wait till the di-
rectors meet," lie said.
I gave him my hearty thanks for the
unlooked-for favor.

"You must not speculate. You
haven't got the head for it."
Thank you." I said. I'll keep out,

' Kighl," he said. "You've the best
hi a I fur carrying out orders I ever
found."
The King of the Street waved me
good night, and I went back to the
parlor.

was looking demurely down and did
