WHEN within two weeks after her father's death Helen Parker returned to Kradyville the wifs uf Millard French, ex-cnnrlct, the soclnl fabric of the town certainly was strained. There always was some thing dreadfully mysterious about the l'arkers. The community had whispered about them fur half a cen tury. Hut heretofore tha ffnaalp had been founded upon speculation, inspired chiefly by the excluntveness main tained by l'hillp Parker, the owner of the (rreut Parker estate. He had mored along the pathway of lifo, neither seeking nor giving friendship. Now the action of the daughter In tearing the parental estate and re turning a few days later, the wife of the man who had been convicted of embezzling from her father after en joying his full trust and confidence, gave an edge to the fnaalp which Ilradyvllle. was not slow to grasp. Biieculatlnn waa easy bat facts diffi cult to obtain, for the aewly mar ried pair had secluded themselvee provoklngly In the privacy of their entate. Whereupon Dradyrllle gave full vent to Its Imagination and Its tonguea. Hut If rtradyvllle had only known the truth It would have realised what puerile fancies these whlnpered tales were. For back of the Incidents upon which the people were trying to con struct a scandal was a series of the most thrilling of tragedies. I tell of them now, knowing that the recital can do no living pereoo any harm. Tarker was the son of an Knglkh gentleman a second son and ha came to America to enjoy posKlbil Itles his unfortunata sequence in birth denied him In his own country. He acquired a landed estate, the value of which Increased with the years. Upon his father's death he was a well-educated, handsome, proud-spirited youth, with an ample Income, an inherited self-esteem and pride of an oo try aad a consuming passion (borji. perhaps, of his father long repression of the pride of birth) to keep his name above and heynpil the familiarity of the common people about him. He despised and dis dained the simple folk of the com munity. He fulfilled his duties as citizen and was prodigal In hie char ity, but he kept his fellows at a dis tance. He married when well along In years, and before his wife's death she presented him with a daughter For many years them two, with the eervants, were the ottly members of the great house. One day In when Philip Parker was 45 years of age, he was In Bradyville attending to some bust- ess when the first Incident in this series of tragedies took place. It was ths week of the county fair and the town was thronged with people. I,ate kn the afternoon Parker entered the tavern, as was his custom, to drink a mug of ale before returning to his home. yThe room was filled with a roistering crowd. Among them was refer Muck, a cattle buyer, who prided himself on his shrewdness In driving a bargain and on his personal strength. Catching ultlit of Perker, who wni always immaculately d reused and whose aristocratic face betrayed indifference to the crowd, Mack lurched toward him and greeted him with offensive fnmllliiritj. Referring to a recent purchase of cattle, Mack with a sneer told Parker how hs had bettcrtd lil in. "Ye think ye are the whole thing with yrr white face and woman's hands ninl yor money," said he, with an oath, "but ye ain't man enough to deal with Peter Mack." Parker's face never changed expres sion as he replied In an even voice: "I'.eing In the habit of dealing with honest people, I do not watch the person with whom I trade. However, I .IV,, ,rntf.m LUgatlona to you for in formic mo that you are a thief, and J hn" give order to act the dogs on ou khould you ever enter my prem t.s B-r.iu." The crowd stood aghast. Mack wa-s the "bully" of the eounty, was always looking for trouble ui.d his voice and stature twi terrors to timid sotl'i The eon Insult of VrW- The Pride of a Name Bj John Gaston. State Normal School. W.'M. CLAYTON, Pres. er made him frantic lie stepped for ward and yelled: "What's thut ye say? What's d'ye know who ye are tlking to?" Without glancing at him Parker pocketed the change handed him by the barkeeper and started toward the door. Hut .Mack, by this time beside himself with rage, leaped forward and struck l.nn In the face. Iu an In stant sll the aristocratlo calm van ished from Pnrker's features. His face grew purple and his veins stood out like whipcords as he turned on his adversary. A down men leaped between them, and It was all they could do to prevent Purkcr from hurl ing himself upon his foe. Presently, however, he calmed down and wnlked deliberately to the door and went home. Rome woeke later Peter Mnck was found dead on the highway, killed by a knife which had reached his heart. Instantly the name of Philip Purker was connected with the affair, but Investigation developed the fact thnt Mack had a large sum of money with him at the time he was murdered and that It was gone when the body was found. This served to dissipate the theory thst Parker wns Involved. A tramp named Tim Maloncy wus ap prehended near the scene of the mur der, having on his person more mnn ey than seemed to the authorities compatibls with hhi dress. Philip Parker did not deign to mnke any statement regarding the affair, nor did he evince the slightest Interest in It. ' Maloney wns convicted and hanged. About this time Parker took Into his employ Millard French and made him his business agent. He called him his private secretary, hut gave Into his hands nearly all the details of his es tate. Never sociable with his neigh bors, he became, after the murder of Mack, more taciturn than ever. Ho spent most of his time In his library even avoiding his daughter, who for merly had been his one companion. French took hold of the Parker es tate with an energy which soon pro duced good result. The revenues were Increased, the place put in good condition and Parker was relieved of all business details excepting that of signing bank checks. He was highly pleased with his acquisition and in his silent, distant way came to Iiko and to trust him. After French had been them some five years Parker was taken violently ill. One night when the Dread Messen ger was expected every moment and the doctor had Informed hlin Hint the, ohances were he would not sec anoth er day, Parker sent everyone from the room except French and there, In the shadow of eternity, lie told the story; how, ornred with rn.-c at the blow he had received, he had watched his opportunity and met M.ick in the lonely road, leaping from IiIh horse he hud struck him In the fact with his whip, whereupon Mnck had drawn a knife and a terrific battln ensued, which ended In his drlvlnc 1i!m blado Into the heart of his antagonist. Then came the thought of the ciinsefjcciiccH, scnndnl, arrest, the possible blemish ing of the Parker name. This lust thought was unendurable nnd he had hastily rifled the dead man's pockets and fhrown the contents Into a stream. Then came the apprehension of the tramp. "My Oodl If you knew how I iuf fered," cried the sick man, fixing his horror-stricken eyes on French's face, 'and how I prayed that he would not ho convicted! And when he wns exe cuted I nearly went mad. Put 1 held my tongue. I could not bear the thought of having the Parker name buffeted about in a criminal court, and of making mywlf the center of the vulgar curiosity of the county. So I kept still and let the Innocent man be hanged, 1 have never known a mo ment's peace since then, and I can not go Into eternity alone with my guilty secret. I trust yon to keep It, and I will leave In your hands a fund which I want you sacredly to devote to the defense of friendless men ar rested for murder." Hut Philip Parker did not die and when he recovered his health his aus picious mind turned upon French. The fear that he would tell his guilty se cret preyed upon him until it became a mania and he finally resolved to take desperate action to forestall any word his manager might drop. With Infinite cunning he arranged a series of situa tions which seemed to point to an em bezzlement by French. Then be had him arreted, and, with remorseless mercy, pushed the prosecution until the bewildered secretary found him self In the penitentiary. The hnidest blow was the letter from Helen I'.n k er, to wfieiri he hail avowed his love and plighted his troth. She upVuldcd hlin for his deeepMon nnd said she would never see him araln. Five years later French left the pen ftentlary with the stern determination to be revenged. He wrote Parker that .he was coming to Ilradyvllle and tear the mask from his life of suppose, I re spectability. Half way to Urailyville he relented at the thought of the gtief he would bring to Helen. l eav ing the train he wrote another letter to Pin ker stating that he would leave his punishment with (lod and his own conscience. Hut Phillip Parker never received that letter. The first one came as a death warrant upon the fears and ap prehensions of the years; something gave way and he never sj-cl . e after ward. He was found by a scn-u : after he was stricken, alive bin In-: l,-.

In tae cure he stood, surrounded by his assistants, and near him were seated three women his wife, one of her friends and the godmother of the infant. To the left of them stood the clergyman, holdin;' the baby in his arm, and liehiml him was a (ri gantie African named Leo, who was to act os godfuther on the occasion. Favino; this fearless group were two huge lions, whose every action showed that they were immeasure ably surprised at the Intrusion of so many strani-crs into their domicile. Moreover, their surprise wns the greater since. In honor of the event, their cage was wreathed with flowers nnd splendidly lllumintaed with elec tric lights. The ceremony was duly performed, and while it lasted the lions behaved with "perfect propriety," much to the sntisfnntion and surprise of the im mense crowd which thronged the hall.
