The affairs of the Traction Company proved to be In a wretched tangle. Sax ton employed an expert accountant to open a set of books for the company, while he gave bis Immediate attention to the physical condition of the property. I he company's service was a byword and a hissing In the town, and he did what he could to better It, working long hours, Lenjoylng the labor- 11 been a sudden Impulse on Fenton's part to have baxton made receiver. In Saxton's first days at Clarkson he had taken legal ad vice of Fenton In matters which had al ready been placed in the lawyer's hands by the bank ; but most of these had long been closed, and Saxton had latterly gone to Raridan for such legal assistance as he needed from time to time. Fenton had firmly Intended asking Wheaton's appoint ment; this seemed to him perfectly nat ural and proper In view of Wheaton's po sition in the bank and bis relations with 1 orter, which were much lees confidential than even Fenton Imagined. Fenton had been disturbed to find Mar grave and Wheaton together in the direc tors' room the night before the annual meeting of the Traction stockholders. He could imagine no business that would bring them together; and the hour and the place were not propitious for forming new alliances for the bank. Wheaton had appeared agitated as he passed out the packet of bonds and stocks; and Mar- g.rae's effortB at sa'ety had only increas ed Fenton's suspicious. From every point of view it was unfortunate that Porter should have fallen ill Just at this time; but It was, on the whole, just as well to take warning from circumstances that were even slightly suspicious, and he had decided that Wheaton should not have the receivership. He had not considered Saxton in this connection nntil the hour of the Traction meeting ; and he had in wardly debated It until the moment of his decision at the street- He had expected to supervise Saxton's acts, out tne receiver had taken hold of the company's affairs with a zeal and an Intelligence which surprised him. Saxton wasn't so slow as be looked, be said to the federal Judge, who had accepted Sax ton wholly on Fenton's recommendation. Within a fortnight Saxton had improved the aervjee of the company to the public so markedly that the newspapers praised him. He reduced tha nftw t . working basis and installed a cashier who was warranted not to steal. It appeared that the motormen and conductors held their positions bv Davlnir trlhn fa frrt wit. tain minor officers, and Saxton applied heroic treatment to these abuses without ado. The motormen and conductors grew used to the big blond in the long gray ulster who was forever swinging himself aboard the cars and asking them ques tions. They affectionately called him "Whiskers," for no obvious reason, and the report that Saxton had, in one of the power-houses, filled his pipe with sweep ings of tobacco factories known in the trade as "Trolleyman's Special," had fur ther endeared him to those men whose pay checks bore his name as receiver. In snow-storms the Traction Company had usually given up with only a tame strug gle, but Saxton devised a new snow plow, which he hitched to a trolley and drove with his own hand over the Trac tion Company's tracks. John was cleaning out the desk of the late secretary of the company one even ing while Raridan read a newspaper and waited for him. Warry was often lonely these days. Saxton was too much en grossed to find time for frivolity, and Mr. Porters illness cut sharply in on Warry's visits to the Hill. He was resting while he waited for the Transcontinental to exhaust Its nsual tactlces of delay and come to trial. On Fenton's suggestion Saxton had Intrusted to Raridan some matters pertaining to the receivership, and these served to carry Warry over an Interval of idleness and restlessness. "You may hang me I" said Saxton. sud denly. He had that day unexpectedly came upon the long-lost stock records of the company and was now examining them. Thrust into one of the books were two canceled certificates. "It's certainly queer,' he said, as War ry went over to his desk. He spread out one of the certificates which Margrave had taken from Wheaton the night before the annual meeting. 'That's certainly. Wheaton s endorsement all right enough." Raridan took off his glasses and brought his near-sighted gase to bear critically upon the paper. "There's no doubt about It" "And look at this, too." Saxton hand ed him Evelyn Porter's certificate. Rari dan examined it and Evelyn's signature on the back with greater care. He car ried the paper nearer to the light, and scanned it again while Saxton watched him and smoked his pipe. "Ton notice that Wheaton witnessed the signature." Raridan nodded. Saxton, who knew his friend's moods thoroughly, saw that be was troubled, "I can find no plausible explanation of that," said Saxton. "Anybody may be called on to witness a signature; but I can't explain this. He opened the stock record and followed the history of the two certificates from one page to anoth er. It was clear enough that the certifi cates held by Evelyn Porter and James Whet ton had been merged into one, whlcf- Nad been made out In the name of Tim Margrave, and dated the day be fore wa annual meeting. "It doesn't make much difference at present," said Saxton. "When Mr. Por ta cornea down town be will undoubted ly go over this whole business and he ean easily explain these matters." "It makes a lot of difference," said Warry, gloomily. "We'd better not say anything about this just now not even to Fenton," Sax ton suggested. "I'll take these things over to my other office for safe keeping. Some one may want them badly enough to look for them." Raridan sat down with his newspaper and pretended to be reading until Saxtou was ready to go. CHAPTER XIX. The iron thrall of winter was broken at last. Great winds still blew in the valley, but their keen edge was dulled. Robins and bluejaya, coming before the daffodils dared, looked down from bare boughs upon the receding line of snow on the Porter "hillside. The yellow river had shaken Itself free of ice, and its swol len flood rolled seaward. Porter watch ed it from his windows; and early In March he was allowed to take short walks in the grounds. He was much weakened by his illness, and though he pleaded daily to be allowed to go to the bank, be submitted to Evelyn's refusal with a tameness that was new in him. Fenton came several times for short in terviews; Thompson called as an old friend as well as a business associate. Wheaton was often at the house, and Por ter preferred his account of bank mat ters to Thompson's. Wheaton carried the figures In his head, and answered ques tions offhand, while Thompson was help less without the statements which he was always having the clerks make for him. Porter fretted and fumed over Traction matters, though Fenton did his best to reassure him. He did not understand why Saxton should have been made receiver; if Fen ton was able to dictate the appointment, why did he Ignore Wheaton, who could have been spared from the bank easily enough when Thompson returned. Fen ton did not tell him the true reason but he urged the fact that Saxton repre sented certain shares which were enti tled to consideration, and he made much of the danger of Thompson's breaking down at any moment and having to leave. Porter dreaded litigation, and wanted to know how soon the receiver ship could be terminated and the company 1 reorganized. The only comfort he de rived from the situation was the victory which had been gained over Margrave, who had repeatedly sent messages to the house asking for an interview with Por ter at the earliest moment possible. The banker's humor had not been injured by the fever, and he told Evelyn and the doctor that he'd almost be willing to stay In bed a while longer merely to annoy Tim Madgrave. "If I'd known I was going to be sick, I guess I woudn't have tackled it," he said to Fenton one day, holding up his thin hand to the fire. The doctors had found his heart weak and had cut off his tobacco, which he missed sorely. "I might unload as soon as we can rebond and reorganize." "That's for you to say," answered the lawyer. "Margrave wanted it, and no doubt he would be glad to take it off your hands if you care to deal with him." "If I was sure I had a dead horse, I guess I'd as lief let Tim curry him as any man In town ; but I don't believe this animal is dead." "Not much,' said the lawyer, reassur ingly. "Saxton says Le's making money every day, now that nobody Is stealing the revenues. He's painting the open cars and expects to do much better through the summer." "I guess Saxton doesn't know much about the business," said Porter. "He knows more than be did. lie's all right, that fellow slow but sure. He's been a surprise to everybody. He's solid with the men, too, they tell me. I guess there won't be any strikes while he's In charge." "You'd better get a good man to keep the accounts," Porter suggested. "Whea ton's pretty keen on such things." "On, that's all fixed. Saxton brought a man out from an Eastern audit com pany to run that for him, and he depos its with the bank." "All right," said Porter, weakly. Saxton came and talked to him of the receivership several times, and Porter quizzed him about It in his characteristic vein. Saxton was very patient under his cross-examination, and reassured the banker by his manner and his facts. Por ter had lost his jaunty way, and after the first interview be contented himself with asking how the receipts were running and how they comijared with thn nf ho year previous. Saxton suggested several times 10 uenton tnat He would relinquish the receivership, now that Porter was able to nominate some one to his own liking. The lawyer would not have It so. He believed in Saxton and he felt sure that when Porter could get about and see what the receiver bad accomrt'lshed he would be satisfied. It would be foolish to make a change until Porter had fully recovered and was able to take hnM nt Traction matters in earnest Saxton had suddenly become a person of Importance in the community. The public continued to be mystified by the legal stroke which had placed William Porter virtually In possession of the property; and it naturally took a deep Interest In the court's agent who was managing it so successfully. Warry Rari dan was delighted to find Saxton praised, and he dealt ironically with those who expressed surprise at Saxton's capacity. He was glad to be associated with John, and when he could find an excuse, he liked to visit the power house with him. and to identify himself in any way pos- Hble with bis friend's work. During the extreme cold be paid from his own pock et for the hot coffee which was banded up to the motormen along all the lines, and gave it out to the newspapers that the receiver was doing It John warned blm that this would appear reckless and injure him with the judge of the court to whom he was responsible. Though Porter was not strong enough to resume his business burdens, he was the better able in his abundant leisure to quibble over domestic and social mat ters with an Invalid's unreason. He was troubled because Evelyn would not go out; she had missed practically all the social gaiety of the winter by reason of his Illness, and be wished ber to feel free to leave him when she liked. In his careful reading of the newspapers he noted the items classified nnder "The Oiddy Throng" and "Social Clarkson," and it pained him to miss Evelyn's name la the list of those who "poured," or "as-1 slated," or "were charming" In some par ticular raiment. The doctor advised a change for Por ter, the purpose of which was to make it impossible for him to return to his work before his complete recovery Evelyn and the doctor chose Asheville before they mentioned it to him, and the plan, of course, included his son Grant. Mrs. Whipple still supervised the Porter house hold at long range, and the general fre quently called alone to help the banker over the hard places in his concalevsence. A day bad been fixed for their depar ture, and Mrs. Whipple was reviewing and approving their plans In the library, as Evelyn and her father and Grant discussed them. "We shall probably not see you at home much in the future," Mrs. Whipple said to Mr. Porter, who lay In invalid ease on a lounge, with a Roman com forter over his knees. "You'll be sure to become the worst of gad-abouts Eu rope, the far East, and all that" "I guess not," he said, emphatically, "I never expect to have any time for loafing." "Well, you're going now, anyhow. Don't let this girl get into mischief while you're away, An invalid father only a young brother to care for her and keep the suit ors away I Be sure and bring her back without a trail of encumbrances. Grant" she said, turning to the boy, "you must protecc Evelyn from those Eastern men." "I'll do my best," the lad answered. "Evelyn doesn't like dudes, and Warry says all the real men live out West." "I guess that's right," said Mr. Porter. She rose, gathering her wrap about her. Grant rose as she did. His man ners were very nice, and he walked into the hall and took up his hat to go down to the car with Mrs. Whipple. It was dusk, and a man was going through the grounds lighting the lamps. Mrs. Whip ple talked with her usual vivacity of the New Hampshire school which the boy bad attended, and of the trip he was about to make with his father and sister. They stood at the curb In front of the Porter gate waiting for her car. A buggy stopped near them and a man alighted and stood talking to a companion who remained seated. "Is this the way to Mr. Porter's sta ble?" one of the men called to them. "Yes," Grant answered, as he stepped into the street to signal the car. The man who had alighted got back into the buggy as if to drive into the grounds. The street light overhead hissed and then burned brightly above them. Mrs. Whip ple turned and saw one of the men plain ly. The car came to a stop ; Grant help ed her aboard, and waved his band to her as she gained the platform. At 9 o'clock a general alarm was sent out in Clarkson that Grant Torter had disappeared. (To be continued.) SITE OF TYBURN TREE. Marble Tablet Placed on Spot Where Thousands Met Death. Thousands of English malefactors and thousands who were not malefac tors, according to modern ideas, met their death at the hands of the hang man on a spot In one of the busiest centers of London county council, a London dispatch says. The spot Is the site of the famous Tyburn tree, the gallows on which London's criminals were hanged fci more than 600 years. It is situated at the Junction of Oxford street, Edge ware road and Bayswater road, oppo site the marble arch which marks th principal entrance to Hyde Park. Shops and mansions look out on the spot which was once avoided by th superstitious. The London county council hai marked the exact spot where the per manent gallows stood by letting a tab let Into the roadway. It bears an ex cellent representation of the old gal lows, surrounded by a triangle with the following inscription: "Here stood Tyburn Tree. Removed 1759." The exact site was only fixed after much research and poring over old maps by the county council's archaeo logical experts. The reason for the difficulty was that different authorities equally trustworthy gave two sites for Tyburn tree, and it was not until it was discovered that there were real ly two of them that the mystery wai solved. The spot now marked Is th site of the old permanent gallows which It is known was in use in 1196 which was probably standing for man) years before than time and which wai removed In 1759. It was replaced by a movable gallows which was situated a few hundred yards away and was finally removed In 1783, when It was decided that public executions were barbarous spectacles, and that men and women should be hanged in fu ture within the walls of Newgate pris on. At the time when Tyburn tree was bearing Its dreadful fruit Its site was far out In the country. Oxford street, now London's greatest shopping thor; oughfare, was a country road and was known at Tyburn road. It Is the di rect route from Newgate prison, In the old city of London, to Tyburn, and-It was the last road over which the con demned men traveled, sitting In an open cart with a priest or clergyman standing beside them and a mob of curious spectators following. Half way to Tyburn tree there was a liquor shop known as "Last Drink House," at which the condemned man was al ways served with a quart of ale. That has long since been destroyed and a great business building stands on Its site. Many famous criminals were hanged on Tyburn tree and It Is estimated that at-least 60.000 persons met their death there. Claude Duval, the fa mous highwayman, was banged there, and John Price, the original "Jack Ketch," the hangman, was hanged for murder In 1718 on the very gal lows on which he had hanged so many other men. A man may live justly by avoiding what he blames In others. Mon taigne. J taW" '" '',iH!:!i;!;i3.i: srJHjliL, siv.
