CHAPTER XXI.
Thomas (Jefferson Gordon. Bachelor"
of Science, nnd one of the six prize-'
men 'lrt hla-lass,' was 'expected homo
on the, llrst day of July; and It was re
marked as 'a coincidence by tho curious
that Der Trace manor-house was
closed for1 the summer no more than a
week beforo the return of the Gordon
black sheep. " "
Thai Tom was a black sheep, a hopo
less find Incorrigible social Iconoclast,
was no longer a matter of doubt In the
mjnds of any. Something may be for
given a promls)ng young man who has
been unhappy enough, or Imprudent
enough, to begin to make history for
himself in tho Irresponsible 'teens; but
also "the act or obllvlon'may be repeal
ed. When It became noised about that
there were two children Instead of one
In the" old? dog-keeper's cabin in the
glen, Mountain View avenue was Justly
indignant, and oven the lenient Gor
donlans scpjvled and shook their heads
at the mention ,pf tho young boss'
name. ; .
, .To such an atmosphere of potential
social ostracism Tom returned after the
final scholastic triumph In Boston; and
for the first few days he escaped as
phyxiation chiefly because the affairs
of Gordon & Gordon and the'Chlawasr
see Consolidated gave him no time' to
test its quality.
But after the first week he began to
breathe it unmistakably. Ono evening
he called on the Farnsworths; tho la
dles were not at home to him. The
next night he saddled Saladln and rode
over to Palrmount; the Misses Harrl
non were also unable to see him, and
the butler conveyed a deftly-worded In
timation pointing to future Invisibilities
on the part of his mistress. The even
ing bejng still young, Tom tried Rock
wood arid the-Dell, suspicion settling
Into conviction, when the trim maid
servant at the Stanley villa went near
to shutting the door In his face. At the
Bell he fared a" little 'better. The
Toung-DIcksons were going out for an
after-dinner call on one of the neigh
bors, and Tom met them at the gate as
he was dismounting. There were, re
grets apparently hearty; but In recast
ing the Incident later, Tom remembered
that it was the husband who did the
talking and that Mrs. Young-Dickson
stood In the shadow of. the gate tree,
irlgjdly silent and with her face avert
ed." 1 "Once more, old boy, and then well
quit," ho said to Saladln at the re
mounting, and the final reln-drawlng
was at the stone-pillared gates of Rook
Hill. Again the ladles were riot rt
home, but Mr. Vancourt Hennlker came
out and smoked a cigar with his cus
tomer on the piazza. The -talk was
pointedly of business, and the banker
was urbanely gracious and mildly In
quisitive Would there be a consolida
tion of the allied Iron industries of Gor- 1
donla when the Farleys should return?
Mr. Hennlker thought' ttr would be un
deniably profitable, to all concerned,
and offered his services" as financiering
promoter and lnterriiedlary. Would Mr.
Gordon come and talk It over with him
at the bank?
Tom found his father on the pictur
esque veranda at Woodlawn when he
reached home. For a time there was
euch silence as stands for communion
between men of ono blood, and was .he
father who first broke It '
!Been out caUin', son?" he. asked,
marking the Tuxedo and the white, ex
panse of shirt front
"No, I reckon not," was, tho reply,
punctuated by a short laugh. "The ave
nue seems to be depopulated."
"So7 I hadn't heard of anybody go-"
In away," said Caleb the literal.
Nof If" said Tom, curtly,' -Tind the
conversation paused until the Iron
master said:
"Ardee thinks a heap o you, and If

from gettin' so tangled with that gal o'

quite soon jenoiigh, and the word was
as the flick of a whip on a wound al
ready made raw by the abrasion of the
closed doors.
"So that miserable story has 'got
around, to you at last has it?" said
Tom,' In fine scorn. "I did hope they'd
spare you and mother."
"She's spared yet, so far as I know,"
said the father, with a backward nod
to indicate the antecedent of the prp
noun Following which, he said what
lav uppermost In 1j1b mind. "I been al

"You've believed all ypu'vo .heard,
have you? condemned me before I
could say a word In my own -defense?
That's what they've all done."
I don't say that, son." Then, with a
note of fatherly yearning In his i voice;
"I'm waltin' to hear that word right
now, Buddy or as much of It as ye
can say honestly." .
You'll never hear it from me never
in this world or another. Now tell m

that first fervor of the uplifting Im
pulse. But later on there had bean
other steps: a growing hunger for suc

dulling of the. .sharp edge of .his hatred
for the Farleys; a meliorating 0f his

forgotten arrayed Itself before, him,
like , the handwriting on the; wall of
Bolshazzer's banqueting hall.
"When the unclean spirit Is gone out

ther on, he felt his way across tho
roqm to stand at the window where he
could look across to the gray, shadowy
bulk of the manor-house, to the house
and to the window of tho Upper room
which was Ardea's.
"They've got me down," he whisper

. CHAPTER XXII. .
purlng the first half of the year -1894,
with Norman too busy at the pipe
foundry to worry him, and the iron
master rpresldent .too deeply engrossed
In. matters mechanical, Mr. Henry
Dyckman, still bookkeeper and cashier
for Chiawassee-Consolidated, had fewer
nightmares f : and bjtothe time ho had
been a month In undisputed command
at the general office he had given over

pers wmcn naa mysteriously disap
peared from a secret compartment In
nis aeaK. a
.Later, when. the time for the -return
of, the younger Gordon drew near, there
was encouraging news rrom Europe.
Dyckman had not ailed to keep tho
malls warm with reports of the Gordon
& Gordon success; with urglngs for
the return Of the exiled dynasty; -and
late In May he had news of- the homc

were alternating chills and fever, If
Colonel Duxbury should arrive and re
sume the reins of rHanagement before1
Tom Gordon should reappear, all might
yet be well. If not the alternative
Impaired the bookkeeper's appetite, and
there were hot nights In June when ho
slept badly.
When Tom's advent preceded the
earliest date named by Mr. Farley by a,
broad fortnight or .more, the bookkeep
er missed other of hs riieals and one
night fear anda sharp premonition of
c'loso'prossjng disaster laid cold hands
on-him; and & o'clock found him skulk
ing In the great train shed at the rail
way station, a ticket to Canada In his
pocket, a goodly sum of the company's
money tightly buckled In a safety-belt
next to his skin all things ready -for
flight save one, the courage requisite
to tho final step-taking.
The following morning the promlnl
tlon became a certainty. In tho Gor
donla mal. there was a, note from tho
younger Gordon, directing him to come
to the ofllce of the pipe foundry, bring
ing tho cash-book and ledger for a year
whose number was written out in let
ters of Are In the bookkeeper's brain.
He went, again lacking tho cdurago
either to'' refuse or to Disappear, and
found Gordon waiting. Top him. .There
were no preliminaries.
"Good-morning. Dyckman," said the
niinhinir aside the.papers on ns
desk. '"You have brought tho books? ,
Sit down a thal umo u,m
ledger at the company's expense ac

. nnmnnrinns." and bei took a thick
packet df papers from a pigeonhole t,t
it iron safe behind his chair.
Dyckman was unbuckling tho shawl

heavy books, but at tho significant
command ho desisted, wenj swiftly u

"And If I refuse to make It? A cor

'It's-an unfair advantage you're tak

"It Is' becauso your principals aro com
ing hotno, and bocauBo they are not yet
here, that I ' want your statement
uungo me, ir you picaso; my time u
limited this morning."
There was nq help for It, or nono ap
parent to tho foar-strickon; and for
tho twopty succeeding minutes the
typewriter cllckod monotously In the
small ante-room. Dyckman' could ho ir
his persecutor pacing tho floor of the
private ofllce, and otlco ho found him
self looking about him for a weapon.
But at the end of tho writing Interval
ho was handing the freshly-typed shoot
to a man who was yot alive and un
hurt. Gordon sat down at his desk to read
It and again the roving 1 eyes of tho
bookkeeper swept tho Interior of the
larger rooms for the means to an end;
sought and found not
The eyo-search was not fully con
cluded when Gordon pressed tho electric-button
Which summoned the young
man who kept the local books of tho
Chiawassee plant across the way. Whlln
he waited ho saw tho conclusion of the
eye-search and smiled rather grimly.
"You'll not And It, Dyckman." he
said, divining tho desperate purpose ol
the other; adding, as an after-thought:
"and If you should, you wouldn't have
tho courage to use it That Is the fa
tal lack in your make-up. It is what
kept you frpm taking the train Ust
night with tho m6ney belt which you
emptied this morning. You'll never
make a successful criminal; It takes a
good deal more nerve than It does to ba
an honest man."
Hereupon the young man from tho
office across tho pike came In, and
Gordon handed a pen to Dyckman.
"I want you to witness Mr. Dyck
man's signature to this paper, Dlllard,"
he said, folding the confession so that
it could not be read by the witness;
and when the thing was done, the
young man appended his notarial at
testation and went back to his duties.
"Well?" said Dyckman, when they
were' once-more alone together.
"That's all," said Gordon, curtly. "As
long as you are discreet you needn't
lose apy sleep over' this. If you don't
mind hurrying a Uttle. you can make
the 10:40 back to town."
Dyckman restrapped his books and
made a show of hastening. But beforo
he ciosed the ofllce door behind him ho
had seen Gordon place the typewritten
sheet neatly folded, on top of the thick
packet snapping an elastic band over
the whole and returning it to Its pig
eonhole in the small safe.

Steel SupemedliiBT Wood.
The substitution ot steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January 1, or thereabouts, tno a-
tlnnnl Lead Company will pacK its
white lead In steel kega, having de
cided to abandon the uso of wooden
Vom This Innovation Is made be
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not ab
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wodden packages do, and there 1b,
therefore, no drying and caking of
the lead around the edges, making it
hla to remove every particlo of
white lead easily from the steel keg.
The new steel kegs also will be much
Hphtnr. as well as being stronger than
the' wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in ireigni rawo. i"i'B u'

new steel packages also will save stor

SHOWS SAGACITY OF SHEEP
Banner Carried by Cortes.
In tho National museum in Mexico
City thero is a very interesting relic
of the Spanish conquest of this coun
try known as tho Banner of tho Con
quest, It hi said to be tho original
standard carried by Cortes In his wars
of conquest in tho land of tho Aztecs.
This banner was for many years in
tho church of San Hlpollto in Mexico
City, where a solemn annual ceremony
known as tho "procession of tho ban
ner" was celebrated up to tho year
1812.
Tho archbishop of Mexico, tho vice
roy and nobles and tho church and
state authorities and dlgnltarlos took
part in this ceromony, which consist
ed of the carrying in tho stato of tho
Banner of tho Conquest
As this was a commemoration of
Spanish successes over tho natlvo
Mexican races, thoro has been no do
