He was pacing a glorious stretch of woodland along the hill overlooking Reedville, but he had no care for the beauties of nature nor his indirect en- vironment for the time being. “1 won't complain nor give up all my ambition in life,” he said bravely." “but,” with a sigh, “I may as well | give up Irene Barton as a very dis-' tant star, unattainable so far as I am concerned. I had hopes when I first came into the fleld, but now—two rivals! And they seem to be able to engage Irene's attentions to my en-’ tire exclusion.” Jasper Warren really and devotedly , loved the fair girl he had named. So did his rivals, it appeared. They had | the advantage of him in one respect. | They were scions of wealthy families, ' their positions in soclety were u-l In one respect, however, Warren felt himself their superior. Val Winters and | Boyd Girton, graduated from the same ' college as himself had applied them- selves to little except spending their money. They had no particular mo- tive or ambition in life and let things drift as they listed. “I'm waiting for opportunity to come along,” Winters fancied it clever to' say to his friends. | “Then we will escort the fair god- dess to the temple of fame in com- pany,” chimed in Girton, not a bad ' | “What Is It You Want?" fellow by any means, but just at that age when money spoils the weak man. One day, an eventful one for Jas- per Warren, a circumstance occurred which brought out in bold relief the characteristics of the three young men, and in the future something more. They were walking down the street together, when a half frozen, starved- faced slip of a girl approached them. “Will you give me a trifle,” she sald, not all in the whine of a professional beggar, but as if driven by desperation to hopeless solicitation for alms, which, it looked, had produced few results. filled with banknotes. “No change,” he said indifferently. “Apply to the relief committee.” “Here,” spoke Girton, tendering four pennies, the return from a nickel just given to a newsboy. “Come on, War- ren.” But Jasper lingered behind. He earnestly scanned the chit of a girl shiveringly regarding the few pennies in her cold shrunken palm. He asked her a few questions. Her answers, | bluntly, cheerlessly glven, convinced Warren that here was a case indeed worthy of sympathy and succor. “Just make my excuses at the tennis | party, will you?" he spoke to Winters. “Zounds, man!” exclaimed Glrton, “you can't be thinking of disappoint- ing Miss Darton?” “I must,” replied Warren “This girl's story appeals to me vitally. L am going to investigate it. I may be later at the park.” But Jasper Warren did not join the gay bright party to which Miss Barton had especially Invited him. And Val Winters conveniently forgot to carry to that young lady the apology tend- ered. Result: Warren wondered why he was not included In later invita- tions. Miss Barton acted rather dis- ’ tantly to him when they met. Ilence, his present distre ed mocd | The case of the little ¢ d and tk scene she had led him to th day was well nigh forgotten t time, however, all | him had come to the had led him to a squalid hut ats where the big factory ployes lived.

It was , to the “A s Rome. #at n her boudoir engaged in a curk | ous occupation. Upon a little stand she had placed three photographs—those of her trio of suitors, Winters, Girton and Jasper Warren. She flushed consciously as she glanced from one to the other. Then shyly her pretty lips framed the important query! “Which!" Which, indeed! They had been all of them very kind to her, they had made her summer a constant round of pleasure. Yet every time her eyes rested on the photo of Warren, her face grew grave, then tender. Sudden- ly a ring at the door bell sent her down the stalrs. “Electric light man,"” spoke a gruft voiced, unshaven man, who carrled a little satchel containing tools. “Want to take the meter.” “Oh, I see,” sald Irene quickly. is in the attic. Follow me.” She led the way up the stairs, but as she passed the open door of her room the man pushed her across its threshold roughly, with the ominous words: “This will do mum. Now, no out- cry, or it's — this," and he extended . & deadly looking revolver. Irene shrank and paled. She knew that if she shrieked the burglar would use violence. “What {s it you want,” she palpi- tated. “That jewelry and what money you've got,” was the prompt reply, as the man's gloating eye rested on some rings and a purse upon an escritoire. Then as she turned to gather up the plunder demanded, she was startled at “1g | glar! “Hello!" The word was so emphatic and ex- pressive, that the nerveless fingers of the affrighted Irene dropped the jewel- ry she had gathered up. She glanced | at her flerce visitor. He was staring at the three photographs. “Say,” he broke out roughly, “who are these fellows?" “They are friends of mine,” faltered Irene, wondering at the strange inter- | est displayed. “This one particularly,” pressed the man, his pudgy finger indicating the portrait of Warren. “An esteemed friend, yes,” replied Irene, wishing in her heart of hearts that the original was there just then to protect her. “I don't want your jewelry,' spoke the burglar. “Lady, forgive me for the fright and trouble I have caused you. That is a picture of Mr. War ren, yes. He is your friend, that's enough. He was mine. He saved my family from starving. He started me on the right path, but I got out of L L work and desperate and—to think I, | was 80 near to robbing a friend of his! I am ashamed, but—I'll die be- fore I go back to steallng again.” He wandered on in his story now, with tears, shame and contrition, and Irene knew why Jasper Warren had not kept his engagement the day of | : the tennis party. She did not walt for him to come to | . her. She was glad of the burglar eplsode as an excuse to go to him. | Warren at once identified the burglar as John Little. The next day he told [ Irene that he had secured work for | Little, and believed he would abandon | his evil ways in the future. He told her something eclse—of his love. And Irene Barton went home and put away two of the photographs | in an old scrap book. | But that of Jasper Warren, her ac- cepted lover, she enthroned in a pretty frame, and hung it where she | could see it last and kiss it last every | . night.
