Heavy curtains of brown silk draped them, while be- tween rows of booksreflected the fireligbt from their red and gotd bind- ings. On a Juxuriously upholstered lounge | before the fireplace sat Josephine Hall dreamily watching the fire. Josephine’s thoughts were far amuy. In her mind's eye she saw her father’s office in the bank. Ashton was there. She wondered when she would see him again and hoged that it would be soon. She conoluded that, if she ever came to love any one, it would be a man of his type. Her reveries were interrupted by the sudden entrance of her father. The banker had heen closeted in his study ever singe his return from town, “Josephine,"" he exclaimed, “Mr. Ashton has just telephoned that he is coming up on the next train, and I ain going to drive to the station to meet him. I think he will stay to dinner, so make the necessary prep- aration: ‘The girl sintled up at her father. “I'm glad he's coming,” she said. “I like Mr. Ashton.” “He's a fine fellow. I'l be back in half an hour. Goodby.” Josephine glanced at the clock on the mantel. It was not yet six. She went and gave her instructions re- garding dinner, and returned to the library, Once more, curled up upon the couch, she resumed her day dreams, Suddenly she sat up, her eyes very bright. From the 'semi-darkness without had come the report of a pistol shot. She listened eagerly, wondering whether, after all, it had not been merely the bursting of an automobile tire, Then she became aware of another sound, Some one was running heav- {ly up the walk that led to the main entrance of the house. She sprang to her feet, and as she did so, there came a furious pounding upon the front door, Visions of some accident to her father flashed through her mind.
