They looked at each ether with hate plainly written en their faces. "You are a bad wNuar Sarah exclaimed brokenly. "Am I? Think ef this. then. I could take your husband. I could from tbis hour. But for his sake, fer his sake, I will not I will not!" Sarah groaned, covering her eyes, while Jane walked rapidly Mt of the room. In a memeat the carriage door clicked outside, and we were alone. "You love that woman, Van!" Sarah's voice broke the silence between ns with an accusing moan. "Why say that" I began and stopped, for after thie hour I knew what it was for one person to be close to another. However, it seemed a foolish thing to be talking about There would be no gain in going deeper Into our hearts. "There has never been a word between us that you should not hear," I replied, "and now let us say no more." But Sarah shook her bead, unconvinced. "It is two years or more since I have seen Jane," I added. "That makes no difference. June was right Yon love her!" she repeated helplessly. "What shall we do?" "Nothing!" I took her cold hands and sat down opposite her, drawing her nearer me. "Don't fear, my wife. They are going away again, I understand. She will go out of our life for always." "I have say children," Sarah mused after a passe. "We have our children," I corrected. "And it's beet to think of them before ourselves." "Oh, If we could take them and go away to some little place, to live like my people down in Kentucky you and me and the children!" I smiled to myself at the thought To rua away was not Just to pack a trunk, as Sarah thought "It would be impossible. Everything would go to pieces. I should loss pretty much all that we have. Not only that but a great many other people wbo have trusted me with their money would lose. I mast work at least until there Is no chance of loss for them." "But arest you a very rich man. Van?" "Not so rich as I shall be some day! But I might make out to live in Kentucky, all the same." "You think I must have a great deal of money?" "I always want you to have all that money can get" "To make up for what I can't haver She burst Into sobs. "I am so wretched. Van! Everything seems strange. I have tried to do what Is right But God must be displeased with me. He has taken front me the one thing I wanted." That was a bitter thought to lie between husband and wife. I took her in my arms snd comforted her, and together we saw that a way lay clear before us, doing out duty by one another and by our children, and In the end all would come out welL As we sat there together it seemed to me as though there could be two loves in a man's life the love for the woman and her children, wbo are his to protect and the hunger love at the bottom of the heart which with most Is never satisfied and maybe never can be satisfied in this life. So she was comforted snd after a little time went to her room, more

calm in spirit Then I called my secretary, and we worked together nntil a late hour. When my mind came back to the personal question of living the fire on the hearth had died Into cold ashes and tbe bouse was still with the stillness of early morning. For the moment It came over me that tbe fight I was waging with fortune was as cold as these ashes and doomed to failure And the end, what was It? Upstairs Sarah lay half dressed on the lounge in my room asleep. The tears had dried where they bad fallen on her cheeks and neck. Her hair hung down loosely as though she had not the will to put It up for the night As sbe lay there asleep in tbe disordei of her grief I knew that tbe real sorrow of life was hers, not mine. The memory of that day ef our engagement came back to me when I had wished to protect and cover her from the hard things of life. And again, as at that time. I longed to take her, the gentle heart so easily hurt and ssve her from this sorrow, the worst that can come to a loving woman. As I kissed tbe stained face she awoke and looked at me wonderingty. murmuring half asleep: "What Is It, Van? .Whs has hapOgsedl It Is time for job to go to

Ruby, spent Wednesday afternoon east of town.

"I remember now what it Is. You love that woman, but I can't let you go. I can't bear It I can't live without you!" "That will never come so long as there is life for us both," I promised. She drew her arm tight about my neck. "Yes; you must love me a little always!" CHAPTER XXIV. WAS. Wall gtrtet and the people of the country. . Collateral I decide to go home Slocum finds that J am a patriot I plan to eni ll$t Hardme n ones more Claim A 1 midnight problem The telegram. ARt That was what was In the air those days. It had muttered on for months, giving oar politicians at Washington something to mouth about In their less serious hougi. Then came the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor, and even Wall street could see that tbe country was drifting fast into war. And in their Jackal fashion the men of Wall street were trying to make money oat ef this crisis of their country, starting rumors from those high in authority to run the prices of their goods up and down. To those men who had honest Interests at stake it was a terrible time for panic, for . uncertainty. One could never guess What might happen overnight But throughout the land among the common people the question at issue had been heard and judged. The farmer on his ranch, tbe laborer In bis factory, the hand on the railroad the men of the land up and down the stateshad Judged this question. When the time came their Judgment got Itself recorded, for any big question Is settled Just that way by those men, not at Washington or In Wall street The sick spirit of our nation needed Just tbis tonic of a generous war, fought not for our own profit It would do as good to give ourselves for those poor Cuban dogs. The Jew spirit of Wall street doesn't rule this country, after all, sod Wall street doesn't understand that the millions in the land long to hustle sometimes for something besides their own bellies. So, although Wall street groaned. 1 had a kind of faith that war would be a good thing, cost what It might And it might cost me tbe work of my life. Latterly, with the revival of trade, my enterprises had been prospering and were emerging from that doubtful state where they were blown upon by every wind of the market For the American Meat Products company had kept its promise and was earning dividends. It had paid in tbe past year 6 per cent on the preferred stock, and. what with tbe big contracts we were getting from the government Just now, it would earn something on tbe common. So far very little of oar stock had come upon tbe market although the period covered by tbe agreement among the stockholders not to sell their holdings had passed. In spite of Mr. D round's threats, there was bo evidence that he had disposed of his stock up to this time. It was probable that when he saw what a good earner tbe company had proved to be he had reconsidered his scruples, as he hod done years before in tbe -matter of private agreements snd rebates. And that rag of a railroad out of Kansas City, which Farson and bis friends found left on their hands In tbe panic times of 9S. now reached all the way to the gulf and was spread lng fast into a respectable system After Farson bad withdrawn his help at the time of oar disagreement we had Interested a firm of bankers In New York sad. one way snd another, had built snd equipped tbe road. A few years of good times and all this network of enterprises would be beyond attack. Meanwhile I was loaded down to the water's edge with tbe securities of these new companies and bad borrowed heavily at home and In the east In the effort to push through my plans. This wss my situation on that eventful day when tbe news of tbe sinking of tbe Maine was telegraphed over tbe country, and evea gilt edged securities began to tumble, to slide down hill in a mad whirl In such times collateral shrank like snow before s south wind. . All the moraine; I had sat In my office with a telephone at my ear. and It to sse that bat osi

wss it to be hsd? Finally fhung up the receiver of my telep" ie and lean- j ed back ia my chair, da sea by the mad whirl along which I was being carried. My secretary opened the' door and asked if 1 would see So-and-so and the next man. A broker was clamoring to get at me. They wanted one thingmoney. Their demands came home to me faintly, lffce the noise of rain on a window. "Jim." I said to the man, "I am tired. I am going home." "Going home?" be gasped, not believing his ears. "Tell 'em all I'm going home. Tell 'em anything you want to" While the young man was still staring at me Slocum burst past him into the room. Even hU impassive face was twisted luto a scowl of fear. "Harris is out there." he said hurriedly. "Ho says some one Is selling Meat Products common and preferred. Big chunks of It are coming on the market, and the price has dropped fifteen points during the uiorniug."

1 said nothing. Anything was to be expected iu this whirl wlud. "Do yon suppose It's Dround's 6tock?" he asked. "Perhaps," I nodded. "It doesn't make much difference to us whose it is." "We can't let this go on." "I guess it will have to go on," I replied listlessly. Slocum looked st me wonderingty. He had seen me crawl out of a good many small holes, and he was waiting for the word of action now. "Well?" he asked at last "I am going borne." I got up and took his arm. "Come along with me. old man. I want to get out of this noise." The elevator dropped ns into the hurly burly of the street Men were hurrying in and out of the brokers' offices, where the last reports for the day were coming in. "D n this war!" Slocum swore as I paused to buy a paper. "Don't say that Slo!" I protested. "This war is a great thing, and every decent American ought to be proud of his country, by thunder! 1 am." The lawyer looked at me as If my head had suddenly gone back on me. "I mean it. I tell you. Slo, nations are like men they have their work to do In this life. When It comes to an issue like this they csn't shirk any more than a man can. If they do. It will be worse for them. Tbis war will do us good, will clesn us and cure us for a good long time of this cussed little peevish distemper we have been through since '83. Thst was Just self ish introspection. This fight for Cuba will bring us all together. Well work for something better tbsn oar bellies. There's nothing so good as a dose of real patriotism once In awhile." "Van, you ought to be in the senate be Jeered. "Perhaps I shall be there one of these days when I have finished this other Job." The idea seemed to strike him hu morously. "Yo think It might be hard work for me to prove my patriotism to tbe people? Don't you believe it The people don't remember slsnder long. And those things you and I have done which have set tbe newspapers talking don't worry anybody. They are Just the tricks of tbe game." So we sauntered on through tbe streets that March afternoon, discuss ing, like two schoolboys, patriotism and government while back in tbe office we had left white faced men were clamoring for a word with me. seeking to find out whether I wss to go under at last "Welt" Slocum finally asked as be was leaving me, "what are you going to do about this pinch?" "There's nothing to be done tonight I'm going to read the papers and see what they say about the war. I am going borne. Perhaps tomorrow It will be all over. Lordy! We'll make a tolerable big smssh. when we go down!" "Get some sleep!" was Slocum's ad vice. The papers were red hot with tbe wsr spirit snd they did me good. Somehow I was filled with a strange gladness because of the wsr. Pride in the people of my country, who could sacrifice themselves for another people, swelled my heart Where could you read of a finer thing in all history than tbe way the people's wrath had compelled the corrupt self seeking politicians in Washington to do their will to strike an honest blow, to redeem a suffering people! It comes not often in any man's life to feel himself one of a great nation when it arises in s righteous cause with all tbe passion of Its seventy million. Let tbe panic wipe out my little pile of money. Let tbe wsr break up tbe dreams of my best years. I would not for that selfish cause stay its course. It made a man feel clean to think there was something greater In life than himself and bis schemes. I walked en and on in tbe March twilight leaving behind me tbe noisy city and the struggle of the market. Why not go myself why not enlist? I suddenly asked of myself. The very thought of it made me throw up my bead. Slocum could . gather up the fragments ss well ss I. and there would be enough left in any case for the children and Sarah. Better that fight than tbis! When the president issued a call for volunteers maybe I could raise a regiment from our men. Tbe street was shadowed by the solid houses of the rich, the respectable stone and brick , palaces of the "captains of industry," each big enough to house a dozen Jasonville families. I looked at them with tbe eyes of a stranger, ss I bad tbe day when I roamed Chicago In search of a Job. Perhaps I had envied these men then, but small comfort had I ever had from all the wealth I had got out of the dry. Food snd drink, a place to sleep In. some clothes, comfort for my wife snd children what else? Today I should like to slip back once more to tbe bam that landed la Chicago unattached, unburdened, unbound. I let myself Into the silent house. Sarah and the children were at our place in Vermilion county, where I bad a henee and 2.000 acres of good land, so which I escaped for a few days now and then. I had my dinner and' was smoking dgar wbea servant brought me wort that a msn wss waiting to see me below. When I went teto tbe hell I saw a figure standing by the deer. hoWtac his hat in his hands. Ia the diss light I coold not

step Into tbe library, where 1 turned

on the light It was the IXardman. "What do yoa want?" I some surprise. "I suppose I ought not to trouble yoa here at this hoar, Mr. Barrington.' he said timidly, "bat I am much worried. You remember that to. vestment yoa were kind enough to ssaks for me a few years ago?" Ills question recalled to my mind the fact that be bad given me a little inheritance which bad come to his wife, asking me to Invest It for him. I had put it into some construction bonds. "What about Itr I asked. He stammered out his story. Soma one had told him thst X was to a bad -shape. He had also read a piece In the paper about tbe road, and he had become scared. It had not occurred to him to sll his bonds before he preached that little sermon at me; bat now that my sins were apparently about to overtake me, he wished to save his little property from destruction. "Why dou't you sell?" I asked. "I hate tried to," he admitted, "bat the price offered me is very low." I laughed st tbe fellow's simple) egotism. "So you thought I might tske your bonds off your hands? Got them there?" "My wife thought as your" he stammered. I waived his excuse aside. He drew tbe bonds from his coat pocket As I sst down to write a check I said Jokingly: "Better hustle round to the bank tomorrow and get your cash." "I trust you are not seriously lacenv moded by this panic," be remarked Inquiringly. "Gold's the thing thesa daye!" 1 laughed. (Tbe cashier at tbe bank told me afterward thst Hardman made such a fuss when he went to cash his cheek that they actually had to hand him oat $6,000 In gold cola.)

Not much, each one; bat in every case a cruel sum to lose. They had brought me their savings, their legacies, because they knew ma or had beard that I hsd made money rapidly. Could I lesve them mow? - I might be willing to go off to Cabs and see my own fortune fade tats smoke. But hew about their money 1 No. It was not s simple thing Jest to go broke by oneself. Tomorrow my osBce would be crowded by these followers, snd there would be letters and telegrams from those who couldn't get there. So back to tbe old problem! I rested my bead on my bands and went over In my mind the situation, the amount of my loans, the eternal question of credit where to get a bandbold to stsy me while the whirlwind passed, as I knew ft moat pass.
