a (Caprright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) cA HATS the use," drawled Herbert Prescott, 1) sinking a trifle deeper in the big easy chair and smiling cynically as he motioned toward Dens- low's famous picture. ‘“Denslow has it right. After all the effort and struggle (s over and tne achievement ‘attained the result ts all the eame—a grinning skull.” ‘But you have no right to waste your faculties, your opportuntties as you do,” responded the other warmly. “Denslow is not rig... There l# work to do in the world and the best hanpiness is attained only by those who do it. By Jova, Prescott, you are thirty-eight and have never done @ lick since you left college. The little herftage left you has been a curse instead of a biess- ing. You ought to pe a leader among men instead of an idler anda drone. It makes me tired.” “Not more than all this sordid scramble among your! Detter for place and power does me," responded Pres- ott good-naturedly. “And when it's all over, what of it?’ and he swung.his hand gracefully toward the picture, “that's all. ‘“] shail now order two cocktails and we will con- sider the evening sermon at an end.” ‘The bell was duly rung and the libation accom- pUshed. ‘With a ead smile Prescott’s friend arose and departed. But there came a day when Prescott was move4 from biz cyniclem and indifference. It was a woman, of course, but the last woman Presoott’s friends would have expected to have influenced him. Mary Putnam was neither brilliant nor gay, nor yet of startling physical beauty. She was not an ordinary girl, that ‘was admitted, and comely to look upon, but her beauty came from within rather than through puising blood ‘and vivacious vitality. Demure and well balanced, with ateady gray eyes, through which shown the light of a luminous soul, thoroughly womanly and possessed of the keenest Intelligence, softened with kindliness ‘and charity, she was the centre of a circle of admir- ers and friends comprising the most gifted and discrim- * inating. ‘That Prescott should join this circle seemed in- *“erédible. But he did, and became a most devoted ad- mirer, He went little in society. It bored him, and hie ‘habits were such that he was not accorded the warm- Hest welcome. But Miss Putnam exercised the strongest ®: fascination over him. In some mysterious manner she stouched a responsive chord throughdut all his nature. Of unusual intelligence and exceptionally well read WHAT’S THE USE? By CHESTER, A. CUSTER. himself, her keen mentality flashed a clralenge. Het purity and womanliness appealed to his Jaded nature. She aroused all the best that was in him, He sought her soclety more and more—involuntarily and uncon- eclously, There was no love-making between them, She Ikea him {mmensely, but he depressed her, His cynicism was oppregeive to one of her radiant nature, but his brilliant attainments, sparkling wv! and Fesourceful mind inspired her, His artistic taste charmed her. @he. waa, Infinitely sorry for him and sought by gentle means to arouse him from his moral lethargy. Thus matters drifted for some time. ‘Then came the awakening. Henry Beatmont ap- peared in the circle of Miss Putnam's fflends, fell vio- Tehtl¥ im love and pald assiduous court. Tt soon waa evident. she was deeply impressed with the hand- ome young architect. At first Prescott was conscious that he was uncomfortable, then annoyed, finally miserable, and angry. Then he brought himself up with a Jerk and faced the situation. He was deeply, madly {n:love with this woman. It was a groat shock to this avowed bachelor. Well, he did not have to re- main a bachelor. He had wealth, birth, intelligence— ho would-win her, He would exert himseif for once and how his friends dis powers. He went to her home and she grected him with the light of a new-found Joy in her eyes. “ap a geod friend J know that you will be glad of ony ha piness,"" che said. ‘I am to marry Mr. Beau: ‘mont next month.” ‘He held her hand for a long time and gazed search- ingly into her eves. In them he saw the death knell of his hopes—and saw also something that told him that he would never have dared to ask her to be his wife. That something told him that he loved her too deeply to ask this sincere and beautiful soul to become yoked with the ashes and remnants of his miespent life, even if he knew he could win her, “Miss Putnam," hoe said, gravely and more sin- cerely than she had ever heami him speak, "I con- gratulate you more sincerely than you can know— and I wish you the greatest happiness that can come to @ mortal on this earth—and if, in the years to come, sorrow #hall come to you and I can do any- thing to dissipate It, I should esteem it the highest privilege to be permitted to do so. (He went back to his old life and plunged Into dis- sipation deeper than ever. He flung away what re- spect he used to have for the conventlonallties and THR WORLD: He took less care of his person He drank and dis decencles of life. and let his clothes often appear shabliy hard and his debaucheries were fearful gusting. Pwo years after Mary Putnam's marriage the town was shocked by the arrest of her husband dor forgery and embezzlement. yme valuable papers intrusted | to his care had disappeared and were realized upon, the necessary signatures having been forged Inti- mates of Beaumont were not greatly surprised, as he had teen presked for money for some months Beaumont deciined to tik. His wife declined to be Heve there was a possibility of hia guilt, Tut he was tried and conlvicted, The evidence was ove whelming. The day came when he was to be sentenced. Mis fair young wife sat beside him pale as death, but calm and brave, holding thelr Hitt on in her arms “You have been found guilty of embezatement and forgery, Henry Beaumont,” sald th white-haired Jadge eolemnly: ‘Is there any reason why sent should not be passed upon you?’ ‘There wan a death-like stillness In the room There was a stir and Herbert Prescott pushed his way to the front. He was pale and unsteady from drink and dissipation. “Your Honor,” he said steadily. why this man should not be sentenced he Is Innocent. fam the gullty man.” ‘The duzz of surprise was checked by the bailiffs, Henry Benumont shot a glance of surprise and n- credulity at Prescott. He brushed his hand across | his eyes as if to brush aside a mist | Prescott continued in a steady voice: “I was short | of funds, had been gambling heavily, Beaumont left | the papers in his overcoat pocket at the club while | the took lunch, I saw thém as he took It off. In desperation I took them, forged the requisite names | and secured the money. 1 cannot see an Innocent man suffer. His words were clear cut and cold as icicles, Beau- | mont made a motion as If to rise, but sank back in| his chair ae if stupefied. A gleam of great Joy camo into the eyes of his wife. She threw her arms about his neck and sobbed. Prescott caught the gleam of Joy in her eyes and a quiet smile passed over his face “In view of this imporiant confession,” said the Judge, “T will have to set as de the verdict and order the arrest of Mr. Prescott.”’ Because of his confession Prescott's sentence was made only five years.
