"I be- gin life all over again.” “You are a fool!” growled Samuel Boyden. “I hope Cleora does not share in the same sentiment,” observed Bliss, hopefully. “She will when she knows the de- talls!” stormed Boyden. “Why, what sense or reason was there in your shouldering the Evans claims. That $15,000 was charged as a debt due the company, not you. It's a shame, an outrage! That was your individual money, and it would have set you and Cleora up at housekeeping, it would have furnfshed capital to start up again, and now—" Mr. Boyden choked up at a memory of the fearful blunder Bliss had com- mitted in being honest and proving. the true man. i “I did just what was right,” replied Bliss very quietly, but with implaca- ble conviction. “When I sold my best friend, Ross Evans, $15,000 worth of material to build the dam at Moreton, I knew it was a risk. I could not con- sent to charge the company for a line of credit that might not be met. I guaranteed the bill. The dam was a failure. The money is gone. I paid it. That ends it—paid dollar for dol- lar, and it's a clean slate and a clean heart, and I'm glad I could do it!” “Humbug!” snorted old Boyden. “Sentiment!™ spoke up a new voice, and Warren Bliss stood fairly electri- fled as the woman to whom he was engaged appeared at the door of the room. The mask was down now. It was the cruel contempt in that dark siren face that told Bliss that he had escaped a precipice. “You will understand, I think,” she sald frigidly, extending their engage- ment ring. “Since you think more of others in divesting yourself of your means than of me, you show your shal- | low regard.” “Cleora! Cleora!” cried Bliss poign- antly, hurt to the soul, but she turned from him. There was no sympathy in The Mask Was Down Now. the malignant face of John Boyden. The young man sighed. Then with a ' of Bliss as he appreciated the im- . Voice, and a glad hand slapped Bliss|% " heartily on the shoulder. @ . ness to maintain it. | bow he silently left the house. It seemed as if amid that terrible | blow to his pride, his hopes, his loy- alty he was crushed, blinded, stunned. ' He was sick at heart. He could not yet face the world. Bliss turned at the doorway and struck out, not for the public street, but to reach the quiet, shady lane at the slde of the garden reach. He wished to be alone, to think, to recover from the rude shock that had revealed Cleora Boy- den in her true colors. A light form had crossed the gar- dent a moment previous, but he was too absorbed to note its presence. Out in the deserted lane he chose a grassy | spot beside the hedge and buried his face in his hands in painful thought. In a single day he had seen the business of years go by the board. There had been the consolation, how- ever, that the assets had paid off every dollar of debt—that is, with his own private inherited fortune thrown in. He believed in Cleora. He had anticipated that, like a true wom- an, she would sympathize with him in his affiiction, comfort and encour- age him. How cruelly was lLe disap- pointed! Suddenly Bliss lifted his head in sharp surprise. Some one was scbe bing on the other side of the helge. Then came the words: “And, oh, Midget! How cold and | cruel they were! After all his love for | Cleora and his noble loyalty to his | friend! They have thrown him out on the cold world just as Uncle John said I would have to go. Oh. cruel! cruel! And Mr. Bliss was so kind to us!” Peering through the made out a young girl care kitten and confiding to the purring ani- mal her heart’s grief. He knew Dor- othy Lane well—a poor relative of the haughty Cleora. He had pitied her life of drudgery, and once when Miss Boyden was away had thoughtfully strolled up to the place with a box Bliss g a pet hedge , metal. | came partners, but in a few years the '?‘“ success. former died, leaving Daguerre to de- | hat | | the daguerreotype. of caramels for Dorothy and a pretty new ribbon for Midget's snowy neck. It had been a pleasant hour and he had not forgotten. Now vast sorrow and pity oppressed him as he realized that the hard-hearted selfishness of the Boydens was to be wreaked on this helpless, innocent orphan. f It was two weeks later when a new surprise came to Bliss. He had rented a vacant store in the village, and his clear business record enabled him to secure a limited stock of goods. Cle- ora was a dead issue with him now, but his business pride was left. He resolved to build anew among those who knew and respected him. “It's only Dorothy and Midget, Mr. Bliss,” announced a sweet, conflding voice, and, looking up from his desk, Bliss recognized Dorothy. In one arm she bore a bundle, in the other her e 'g‘e < Low Romnd arin, Rate 75 Chicago = =« « $43.50 Cincianati . . <0 St.Louis - - $37 Dewtie' s o B0AD Colerado Springs - 58.60 Daluth - = « 6L lle - . . 3ia PR : SakTake Giy - 7160 Wiaspes - o - 843 Evawrie . - . uy They are going away to the sea: el AR+ Tmml % po EH side, Cleora and her father,” she ex- Portland = » - 106.00 Montreal - . .77 10600 Petoskey + - 5158 SanFrico . 18278 Nagra Falb o < 41.4co.
