He 1¢ alized it fuliy, worked on that basi: . bad no particular qualms of cor only of being shrewd enough to mas! c ; his evil doings from the eyes of th: others, and in the general round-uj C,ril Marsh was a bright, honest energetic young business man. H: was the empleyer of Dodge, had bee: kind and liberal with him, never sus pected his duplicity and was friencl. and at times even confidential will him. It was just at dusk one late fal evening that master and man left th: trade brokerage office of young Marsh. The latter carried a long, sealed en velope in' his hand. Its possessior ' scemed to give him intense satisfac tion. “Dodge,” he spoke, as he paused a' the iron letter box at the corner and elowly allowed the envelepe to glide | from view, “there goes my fate.” “Indeed?” questioned his compan- fon. “Yes,” replied Cyril. “It covers the ! strangest incident in my life. I al- | ways knew I had a relative, a half- uncle, out in Idaho, and that he was | enormously rich, but at odds with my dead father, and all his kin. What was my surprise. yesterday to receive @ letter from him. It was chilling, al- most offensive—characteristic of the crabbed, prejudiced old man. He wrote to ask me to send my photo- nesg career. I could construe it in but one way: Lonely, child'ess, possi- life, a thought of old family ties had un a correspondence with him, to seck him out, but in time he intimated remembrance.” ! “Why, he may intend.to make you his heir,” suggested Dodge. “I hope so. Think of what I eould do with a little more capital! Only the fear that I might get overleaded keeps me from buying goods that 1 Thinking—Thinking, i know will double in a year in value. 1 will show you the letter 1 received in the morning. It is in my ¢ ¢ Dodge ,r,:n'e"hir companion a shrewd sidelong look. They paried a street L or two farther on. “Going home “Think 1 questioned Cyril. replied Dodge—"sort The minute Lis employer was ot of elght, however, Dodze went sirsight back the route they had fcllowed to- | gether. Those masked eyves of his glowed with an eager, unholy lizht. | His excited manner showed that his lactive mind was aflame with some | all absorbing idea. Dodge rcached the oflice he had so | recently left. He had a key to its | door. Also, unknown to his unsus- picious employer, one to his desk. Pulling down the shades and turning on the electric light, the surreptitious i visitor proceeded to open his employ- er's desk. “Ah, I have {t!" he muttered at last, i and he sat there for some time pour i Ing over the letter that Cyril had re- ceived from his distant relative tre preceding day. Long and arduously Dodge studied ft. ‘then he sat with it iu bis haug, thinking—thinking. Aud then ne scemed to have evolved a culerent plan of action. His tace glowed with satisfaction and resolve, “I'll dare to do it," he told himself rapldly. “The stake is big, the risk small, chance and luck big elewents,” Within the hour Dodge had writien & letter to Cyril's uncle, siyning Cyril's name in his own handwriting. Then gouing to his desk he secured a photograph of his own. This he in- closed in the letter, sealed the en- velope, addressed it to the man in ldaho, vlaced it in his pocket aud left the place. Dodge mailed the missive at a let- ter box, but not the ome in which Cyril had deposited his letter. H: scanned the time schedule on the bo« “No more collections until morn ' ing,’ he soliloquized, “so I have plenty of time in which to operate.” Dodge proceedel to a drug store He secured a strong chemical combi- nation of liquids that made even the drug clerk stare. This he carried in ais band uuil he reached the letter | graph and a few details of my busi-' bly nearing the end of his loveless' | come to him. He forbade me to keep: J ! he might see fit to leave me a slight pox where his employer had dropped the letter to bis uncle.

That was the prelude. Three; months later Cyril Marsh failed in business. A bad market, a nli:calcgh lation as to prices in a time of panic swept away all that he had. He sold his watch and chaln to pay off Dodge his last month's salary, and they parted—the villain gloating over a brilliant scheme his evil mind had invented, Cyril immersed iu dejecl.xoui and unhappiness. For with his failure the aristocratic him, and he bad loved the daughier | of that proud house—Edna. To strive to make her forget her humble lover they had sent her, abroad. A sweet note came to Cynl,, however, telling him that oceans could | never divide their love. | Then Cyril had started out Into the werld to carve a new name and foi-| tune. It was a hard task. He wai- dcred through half a dozen states, | earning a precarious income as desul- ! tory work came to his hand. It was way out in Idaho that one evening traversing a lonely country road he came upon a strange scene. | A farmer armed‘with a pitchfork heil ! the chauffeur of a big touring car at | bay. | “You ran over my cow back yon- der!” he was shouting as Cyril came up. p"Wel], just make ont your bill and send it to my employer in Crofton,” said the chauffeur, “Who is your employer? Don't you dare move till you fix this damage,” cried the farmer, “or I'll puncture your tire with this fork!"” “There is his card,” and the man handed the farmer a kit of paste-‘ board. “Oh, that’s all right.” spoke the lat- ter at once, as his eye ran over the name it bore—"Mr. Cyril Marsh is | good for all I'NN ¢ | Darleys had closed their doors against |, ——————————————— . ————————— ek e ey i (ul' 'Y 4 ‘,’?',’f- R BRI | [ - ; pasoE e W OLR TOOLS ARE MADE 0} Hard Service It is thz quality of service our tools give that wiil make them own your friendship.
