THE END OF IIB -Til By JAMES KNAPP HEEVR "te. yon have ishu out of it a long time, ami all for me." Tlieu with a nnhlvn outburst of ftsdhig lie went on: "Look here, Ogdeii, Imvo you thought 1 would be ungrateful, that I wouldn't appreciate It? I know it lis iked aowbeu 1 let you do it all. But I couldn't help that: 1 wasn't strung enough tnorc.lly. Ami I knew that term there wouid wreck me, unman me, make a brute of me like the rest of them. 1 could e It all before me. But you had nmro re St ance in you. I knew you would come through unharmed." "Yes; It hasn't hurt mo hi the least," retnnied tlie other, "No, I don't menu that. Of course it brtrt any man to live iu such a devil' bole. But 1 knew it wouldn't lower you morally." "Yes; the associations are elevating. "This Isn't like yon, Ogden," said the younger man quietly. "Uut 1 don t Illume yon. I know it was more than if you hod given your life for me more to me than to bandy have given me life. But I would like to make you uuder- lUnd that 1 am sensible of this, that 1 am not ungrateful, for Indeed 1 am not.

The lost waa an unfortunate sentence, It stirred all tho deep, rntikling, ugly memories that Chalmers had been strug gling to wildly to keep down. . In his place!

Chalmers had repressed himself so long that tt had grown to by habit, sec qnd iature almost. ' Uut now hot, bit ter words, taunts, insults, curses, b.'irun to form themselves In bin mind und leap for uttarunce.' He would let them have woy for once: he would humiliate this leek, prosperous mini of the world be fore hinn and then ho would go away, ho cared not whither, He would not be truculent; ho would look him square ly In the eye while he told him every bitter word, even to the bust one.

"It won't male any difference, and I shall be as well off there as here. Didn't yon hear what be 'said? 'I have the prison lisik.' Let me go back again. Then the past won't have b-eu wholly In vnln." "It has not been In vain; believe that, Ogden, whatever happen now. But you shall tint go backs I am not wenli enough to allow Unit." Uaorjre clasped his brother's hand firmly as he spoke. "1 must-there is no other nlsee for me," insisted the other. "1 will go quietly; there will bo no disturbance nobody hers will know." "No, no, Ogden, 1 have beeu a crlmi uaJ once and a coward once, but I will not do this. If either of u must go it shall be me, and do you slay here, with your own nume and your own interest.

As lie siike be extended the handemts toward the elder brother meaningly, For a moment thsre was atjuin a fierce contost of passion in Chalmers' breast.
