Office Phone 410 THE EVEXING TALEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA HIS LONELY CLIENT \i\ By ETHEL WAGNER MOULTON. i (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) At twenty-one Basil Worden half in- vented a new suction cleaner, talked too much about it, dallied in getting it protected and claimed that a big cor- poration stole the idea away from him. This embittered Worden. He grum- bled that the world was all against him, and acted out the child of genius rudely crushed down by an adverse tate and the hard-hearted neglect of a = cold cruel world. He was in love at the time, or fancied he was, and truth is that had he acted a little more manly and sen- | sible, Nella Brooks might have learned to esteem’ him. After a while, how-, ever, she began to tire of his cowardly complaints against destiny. She real- ized the flaws in his weak character and when he proposed to her gently but firmly declined the honor. “I'l] get even!” hissed Worden, show- ing his true malevolent spirit. “You'll rue the day you cast away an honest love.” This made Nella more skeptical of his manliness than ever. She shud- dered at the evil glare in his eye, and when he had departed was glad that | she was through with him. “The world don’t want useful inven- tions,” snarled the genius. “I'll give them a dose of some- | thing else.” And he did. Worden was gone from the village for a year when an article | apprised his former friends that he was a fugitive from justice. It ap- peared that he had turned his inven- tive genius to very bad account. He ‘had devised a clever apparatus for boring holes in safes. It seemed that this device was a gobletlike vessel composed of a metal refractory to heat. A hard wooden pincer was used LGNS, /,“ “ Al ”t M }I misanthropic ' A, NOV. 19, 1814, TR v e 2520804 DS0ECEDHISHPING SIS0 WW v| PLOWS | BRINLEY | »’_____,________———————\ i s o Orange Plowy 10 tc 14 inch Regular Turning Ploy, for Florida soils.

When I coldly turned from him he threatened to be revenged.

If| then 1 would become his wife Otho. should be spared”—and here the poor | distressed girl ended her recital in a storm of sobs and tears. There could be but one response on the part of the chivalrous Bruce to the appeal of the anxlous Nella. What-l ever was done must be accomplished secretly, cautiously, for he too believed that the desperate Worden would not hesitate to sacrifice little Otho if he g found out that he was being hunted %3 down. For the time being Bruce g ceased to be a lawyer and became & ' detective. & “I will find the child if diligence and Lakeland Electrical Supply Coming Soon | VPR While they last— With each Jar of Palm Olive Cream We give ABSOLUTELY FREE | “'t Get Even!” ¥ to handle it.- Placed upon the safe, a quantity of thermit, a substance ignit- Ing without explosion, produced a de- gree ot heat capable of liquefying iron. This was placed in the goblet and ignited through a wire. One hole after another was thus easily and si- lently made in the safe, until the burglar could remove a piece large enough to admit his arm. This device Worden had sold to a gang of burglars, who were captured, betrayed him and he became a hunted eriminal. With Nella time had gone on bring- ing to her a due share of care and grief. Her father had died leaving her a small fortune, but also the charge of a nephew, a lad of seven years. The poor child was dumb, but this afliction tended to draw Nella the closer to him, One day Bruce Thomas, a lawyer from the city, came down to Wadham to close up some business of the es- tate. He was a manly, fine looking young fellow just starting out in his profession. When he called at the Brooks home he found it the scene of great commotion. The servant told | him that Miss Brooks was in a state of great distress and could not see him. Bruce, however, dwelt upon the.im- portance of his business mission. “Please tell Miss Brooks that all there is to do is to acknowledge her | signature,” he exclaimed. A minute later the object of his call came into | the room. Despite her tear-stained face, its deathly pallor and her mani- fest agitation, to Bruce Thomas she ' appeared as the fairest creature he| had ever beheld. In a sadly subdued way Nella went ! through the formalities o1 the busi- ness on hand. Young Thomas lin- gered. Something he could not resist in the forlorn appearance of his lonely client appealed irresistibly to his in- terest and sympathy. “You will pardon me, Miss Brooks,” he spoke, “but you seem in deep dis- tress.” “I am, indeed,” she answered brok- enly. “Oh, sir! If I made a confidant of you, would you try and help me?” The prompt responsive glow in the eyes of her visitor convinced Nella that she could indeed trust in this man. She told him of Basil Worden. “About a month since,” she went on, “to my amazement this man in- truded upon me in the garden. I shud- dered when I saw him. To think that we had once been friends! He was | 1 bold, defiant, vicious. He spoke of ki~ ! taken some years previous. Bruce was ' | water after the drake, which, far from effort can bring it about,” he pledged Nella, and the grateful look in her eyes was sufficient reward for his un- , 4 selfish determination, vella had a photograph of Worden 3 Cakes of Palm Olive Soap (R We have a full stock of Condition Powders, Worm Powders, Heave Powd- ers, Colic Remedy, Poultry Powders, Lice Killer, etc. IR R & b it | also given one of little Otho by Nella. The preliminary stages of his unusual quest gave him a rugged, bafling ex- perience he had not apprehended. But there came a final reward for his dili- gence and courage. “At last!" he breathed with intense satisfaction at the end of a gloomy rainy day, as he penetrated the bleak corridors of a still more gloomy tene- | ment building.

Still, as he neared it, it glided easily away through innumer- able little nooks and windings. Sever- al times he reached out his hand, and having at last managed to coop it up in a corner, was bending down to take | it when to his utter astonishment, it cried “quack,” and then flew away so strongly that he was convinced he had never hit it at all. The bird's object clearly was to draw the gunner away from - its companion. —E‘chauge | i ! |- 8 ~ : ) & 3 g 2 9 3 - |$ by &
