By FRANK FILSON, When the boarding house servant announced Dick Mansfield, Maggie | put aside the letter over which she , had been puzzling and hastily patted her hair, smoothed down her dress, straightened the cover of the sofa bed, and went to the door of her hall bedroom. Next moment she was in Dick's arms, “Helgho! Same old hall room!"” said Dick, taking his seat beside her. “Say, Maggle, how would you like to pay Mrs, Flanagan her last week's rent and come west with me next Fri- day?” . “West, Dick?” Maggie Durham ex- claimed. “West's what I sald,” Dick an- swered. “I've got a chance to buy a farm in Texas—five hundred down and the rest on mortgage. Then we can get married and start out to make a home for ourselves. You know, Maggie, dear,” he continued, in 8 whis- per of exultation, “I've got twelve hun- dred dollars saved row.” They had been engaged two years, Maggie earned eighteen dollars week as stenographer to Mr. Burman, of the great department store, and Dick twenty as a clerk in the Iron- works corporation. And they had been saving ever since they were en- gaged. “l mean, Maggie, with your five bundred,” Dick volunteered, “And we can start ‘in on that and make our way. Is it all right? “But Dick, I-" “But Maggle, you know now Mr. Burman's dead you won't have such prospects as you thought. He took & fancy to you, but his head man dis- likes you, you told me, and I guess you'll find the future won't be so bright as you hoped. Come, throw it up and let's get married * She would not give him her de- cision. She would let him know the next Sunday, v oseid. Of course they could not go on five days’ notice, She must give Burman's time to re place her. Aud Dick would have goue Davis, Fulchum & Campbel] “There Isn't a Drop of Real Blood in Your Veins.” away very downcast, had not her fov- ing good-bye kiss reassured him of her love, Left alone, Maggle pulled out the letter again and began studying fit. It was from Mr. Burman's lawyer and it hinted at something that she had never imagined in her wildest dreams, And she was to be at the Burman mansion, on Madison avenue, at noon the following day, The next morning, a few minutes be. fore the appointed hour, Maggie Dur ham was shown into the splendidly furnished drawing room. Mrs, Bur- man, a severe, stout, elderly woman, in widow's weeds, was seated in an arm chair, her handkerchief to hor eyes. Upon the sofa, side by side, looking the severest condemnation upon the visitor, were the Misses Burman. The lawyer, Henry Altemus, rose nervously out of his chair to meet her. When he presented her the women made only the slightest inclination of their houds, “Ahem! Miss Durham, duty to give You some very painful information,” the lawyer began, “Painful to us, not the young wo- man, Mr. Altemus,” the widow cor- rected, “l beg your pardon, madam,” lawyer apolozized. He turaed to Mag. gie. “Miss Durham,” he began, “how long have you worked in Mr, Bur- man'’s store?” “Three years,” said Magsie. “You began as a cash girl and haq a phenomenally rapid rise, I believe?” it is my the Maggic nodded. “Taught myself stenography and worke ip,” she an- swered, “Nevertheless you are a young wo- man of very limited education | think?" “What I @on't know,” saiq Maggie —she glanced round her~"would fil] that library there.” “Crude but true,” the widow inter- posed icily, “Anl, Miss Durham, you never ascribed your rapid rise in Mr. Bur- maa's store to anything but native ability?” the lawyer asked, As BEetween Riches and the Man, ruch about it; I just went d did wy work” G« question more, madam.

When I was eighteen the mother told me that there was a job waiting for me at the store. I just went ahead and took it. That's all I know.” i | “Mr. Altemus,” sobbed the widow, “come to the point. Tell the young person of her good luck and get it over.” “Miss Durbam,” sald Mr, Altemus, “on going through Mr, Burman's priv- ate papers we find that he was—er— married before.” ] “We hope so,” interposed the widow. | "And, to be brief, that you are Mr. | Burman'’s daughter.” i Maggie looked at the lawyer and | he wid d at th im fae f o tmopin, oo o I o ore in town that keeps them, SCHAFFNER & We are getting in every day Spring Line, so if you -wan; a our g0od nobby suit, see us, as tmis s the ogly the two girls, “Why didn't he recognize me?" she s We have also received oy “Because,” sald the lawyer, "Mr.I i Hurman had a position in life which ' :ll?f ft:uit:.eollm; nxtnael::l!:ian:;daygl‘:v::irli ‘ llne Of .

And now the point is this: Mr. Bur- man has left you an annual income of seven thousand dollars, to be held in trust for you, upon two conditions. First, that you agree to go to a school in Paris which has been selected for you, and to remain there two years, Secondly, that, after you have been polished, you will reside with Mrs. Burman as her niece, and that no hint of the secret ever passes your lips, under penalty of forfeiting your in- come. Ah, by the way, there is a third condition, but it is too unizaport- ant to lay much stress upon it. I believe you have considered yourself | d to a worthy young man by the i ©or Mansfield?

There isn't a particle of decent feeling in you. No thanks!
