glua SL* held out liel build to him.
“Fol five me,” «be said gently. “It
Was for my father. I bad Ho faith. 1
thought your heart wus of stone.*'
Impulabeiy Hyder drew her to Mta.
He ciasj>ed iter two bauds iu his, and,
looking down at her kindly, be said
awkwardly.

“Ho it wits; so it was! You accom
plished the miracle It's the first time
I've acted ou pure sentiment Let me
tell you suoiethiug. Good sentiment is
bad business, and good business is bad
sentiment. That's why a ri< b man is
generally supposed to have such a hard
time getting into the kingdom of heav-
eu.” He laughed aud went on: "I’ve
given <lO,(JUO,tAJO apiece to three uul
versifies Do you think I'm fool enough
to suppose J can buy my way? But
that’s another matter. I'm going to
Washington ou behalf of your father
because I- want you Winarry my sou.
Yes, I want you in the family, close to
us. I want your respect, my girl. I
want your love. I want to earn it. I
know I can’t buy it. There's a weak
spot iu every man's armor, and this is
mine. I always want what I can't get,
aud 1 can’t get your love unless I earn
it.’
Shirley remained pensive.
Her
thoughts were out ou Long Island at
Massai>equa. She was thinking of their
joy when they heard the news—her fa
ther, her mother and Stott. She was
thinking of the future, bright ami glo
rious with promise ugaiu now that the
dark clouds were passlug away. She
thought of Jefferson, and u soft light
cunte into her eyes as she foresaw a
happy wifehood shared with him.
“Why so sober?” demanded Ryder.
"You've gaiued your point. Your fa
ther is to I m ? restored to you. You’ll
marry the man you love.”
"I’m so happy!” murmured Shirley.
"I don’t deserve it. I had no faith."
Ryder released her and took out bis
watch
“I leuve in fifteen minutes for Wash
ingtou,” he said. "Will you trust me to
go alone?”
"1 trust you gladly," she answered,
smiling ut him. "I shall always lie
grateful to you for letting me convert
you."
“You won me over last night,” he re
joint'd, "when you put up that fight
for your father. I made up my mind
that a girl so loyal to her father would
be loyal to iter husband. You think,"
he went on, "that I do not love tny
son. You are mistaken. I do love him,
and I want him to be happy. 1 am
capable of more affection than people
think. It is Wall street,” he added bit
terly, “that has crush«*«! all sentiment
out of me.”
Shirley laughed nervously, almost
hysterically.
"I want to laugh, and I feel like cry
ing!” she cried. "What will Jefferson
say? How happy he will be!"
“How are you going to tell hitu?” In
quired Ryder uneasily.
“I shall tell him that his dear, good
father has releuted, and”—
"No, my dear," he Interrupted, “you
will say nothing of tlie sort. 1 draw
the line at the dear, good father act.
I dou't want him to think that It comes
from me at all.”
“But,” said Shirley, puzzled, "I shall
bttve to tell him that you”—
“What!” exclaimed Ryder ••Ac
knowledge to my son that I was wrong,
that I’ve h «*«* ii the error Of my ways
uBd wish to repent? Excuse me.” he
added grimly. “It's got to comt* from
felui. He must see the error of his
way»."

prompted “you to suve my father ami
take your sou aud myself to your
heart. Why are you ashamed to let
him see it? Are you afraid be will love
you? Are you afraid 1 shall love you?
Open your heart wide to us. Let us
love you.”
Ryder, completely vanquished, open
ed bis arms, and Shirley sprang for
ward and embraced him as she would
have embraced her own father. A soli
tary tear coursed down the financier’s
cheek. In thirty years he bad not felt
or been touched by the emotion of hu
man affection.
The door suddenly opened, and Jef
ferson entered. He started on seeing
Shirley in his father's arms.
“Jeff, my boy,” said the financier, re
leasing Shirley and putting her hand
In his son’s. "I've done something you
couldn’t do. I’ve convinced Miss Green
— J mean Miss Rossmore—that we are
not so had after all.”
Jefferson, beaming, grasped his te
ther's hand.
"Father!” he exclaimed.
“That’s what 1 say—father!” echoed
tohirley.
They both embraced the financier
until, overcome with emotion, Ryder
senior struggled to free himself aud
made his escape* from the room, cry
mg:
"Goodby, childreii! I'm off for Wash
ington!”

“Tlie reii-on so few moose are seen
in eaptlvit.i In the parks and circuses
of tlie country is not lieeause they are
naturally t<><> wild to is* domesticated,
but lieeause they usually do not live
long in captivity,” said a St. Paul man.
"My father was fur many years a set
tler in northern Minnesota, and at dif
ferent times In Ids experience he had
tlins* moose on Ids homestead which
recognized Idm ns their master.
“All flit* animals were captured when
they were very young, and in each In
stance it took them only a few days to
become apparently attached to father
and his small farm. Fur two or thr<*e
weeks ho Would keep them fenced in
aud then would allow them to roam
around at will. They would lie gone
for two or three hours, or perhaps half
a day nt a time, but always came hack
nil right. By allowing them the run
of the premises this way they met
practically the same conditions as If
they were wild in the forest, and
therefore were always In good health,
but the moment any of them were
sliipiied to the city a change was no
ticeable.
“Two of the animals were sold to
city park associations at different
times, and in each instance the moose
finally died. They seemed willing
enough to remain in the parks, but
conditions were not such as they were
used to, and from the first It was to
tie seen that they were falling in
health. A moose can stand all sorts
of hardships In the woods, but when
he Is tn captivity hick of exercise or
lack of proper food or lack of some
thing else puts him on the down grade,
and as a rule lie passes In bis cheeks
In a few weeks or a few months at the
outside.
"One of the animals my father
owned was n handsome bull, and he
was trained to harness. The anttual
could pull a gisid sized load and travel
through the woods with a sleigh be
hind Idm at a very lively clip. Tills
third moose was one day shot by a
hunter near the lions«*. So all three
animals met with an untimely fate,
which goes to prove, I suppose, that
man should not monkey with the plans
of nature.”—Duluth Herald.
