He stole a glance at the pair, who bad drawn a little to one aide and were talking In low toues and with the liitlmncy of long acquaintance. He owned they wore wonderfully well suited to cueti other. Ryder wan no mean rival, had it come to that. The world hnd given him Its nil), lie knew perfectly the life with which Miss Km ory wus familiar. His people had been the rlKht aort. He was well born and well bred, and he allowed It. It dawned upon the unwilling Oak ley alowly and by de(?ree Uiat to Con atance Emory he mimt lie no tiling more or leu than the aon of a murderer. He had never quite looked at It In that light beforo- He hail been occupied with the cCTect rather than the caune. but he wan dure that If Ryder had told her hla father'a hlBtory he had made the mot of hla opportunity. He won dered how people felt about a thing of thla kind. He knew now what hla por tion would be. I)lf grace 1 alwtya vicarious In lta consequence. The In nocent generally aufTer Indiscriminate ly along with the guilty. The doctor talked a steady stream at Oakley, but he managed to say little that made uny demand on I'an'a atten tion. He wiim sorry for the young man. Ho hud liked him from the start, and he believed but a small part of what he had heurd. It Is true he had bad the particulars from Ryder, but Ryder said what he hud to Buy with hi ORtial lar.y Indifference, a If hi In terest win tho slightest and had Touch ed 'or no part of it. He would hardly have dared admit that he himself wns the head and front of the offending. Ir. Emory would not have understood how It could huve been any luminous of his. It would have (In lulled him with the latter. As It was, he hud been quick to resent his glib, sneering tone. Hut I mil's manner convinced the doc tor that there were Rome grounds for the chargcR made by the handa when they demanded Roger Oakley's dls mlssal, or else he was terribly hurt by the occurrence. While Dr. Emory wa reaching this conclusion Dun wai curs ing himself for hla stupidity. It would have been much wiser for him to have remained away until Antloch quieted down. I'erhaps It would have been fairer, too, to hla friends, but alnce he had blundered he Would try and Ree Miss Emory agulu, Hhe should know the truth. It waa characteristic of him til at he should wish the matter put ttrulght, even when there waa no espe cial advantage to be gained. Soon afterward he took his leave. The doctor followed him down to the "So, I can't deny it nufrlyM." T.to. There was a certain constraint In the manner of the two men. now that they were alone together A they i.; -.id by the K"le Dr. 1'inorv broke (ttliSov iih . "Tor (Jod's sake.

"It's nothing you have done anyhow," he said as an afterthought. "No. but I begin to think It might Just aa well have been." l)r. Emory regarded him earnestly. "My toy, I'm awfully sorry for you. and I'm afraid you have got In for i..oie than you can manage. It looks though your troubles were all com i:r: In a bunch." I)an smiled. "My antecedents won't affect the sit uation down ut the fd.ups, if that is what you mean. The men may not like me any the hotter or respect me any the more for knowing of them, but they will discover that that will make no difference where our relations are concerned." To be sure. I only meant that pub lic oplnlou will be pretty stroftg against you. It somehow has an In fluence," ruefully. "I suppose It has," rather sadly. "Do you have to stay and face It? It might be easier, you know I don't mean exactly to run away" "I am pledged to put the shops and road on a paying basis for General Cornish. He'd about made up bis mind to sell to the M. and W. If be does It will mean the closing of the hops, and they will never be opened up again. That will wipe Antloch off the map. Not so very long ago I had a good deal of aympathy for the people who would be ruined, and I can't chauge Rimply because they have, can I?" with a look on his face which belonged to his father. The doctor stroked his beard medi tatively and considered the question. "I suppose there is such a thing as .lH'y, but il in't you think, under the o!-c ?!(. your responsibility If v-:: v ! V .':' lan li'" : " i.ost!y. "I i .di.'t illumine you would be ths I'.r I t advi ( i.ic to shirk It."

It seems the men are not through wltli you yet." "Yes, I know. My father should have gone back. It looks as If I'd yielded, but I couldn't ask him to when I saw how be felt about It" "You see, the town llvee off the shops and road. It Is a personal matter to every man, woman and child In the place." "That's what makea me so mad at the stupid fools!" said Oakley, with Rome blttemees. "They haven't the brains to see that they have a lot more t Rtake than any one else. If they could gain anything from a fight I'd have plenty of patience with them, but they are sure losers. Even if they strike and fhe shops are closed for the next six months It won't coat Cornish a dollar Indeed, It will be money In his pocket." "I don't think they'll strike." said the doctor. "I didn't mean that exact ly, but they'll try to keep you on a strain." "They have done about all they can In that direction,. The worst has hap pened. I won't say It didn't bnil.se me up a bit. Why, I am actually on In every bone and muscle. 1 was never so battered, but I'm beginning to get back, and I'm going to live the whole thing down right here. I can't have skeleton that are liable to be unearth ed at any moment" He took a letter from his pocket, opened It und handed It to the doctor. "I guess you cuu see to rend this If you will step nearer the street lump." The letter was an offer from one of the litg eastern lines. While the doc tor knew very little of railroad, he understood that the offer v. ..s a tine one ami was Impressed mvunlincly. "I'd take tt." he wild. "I wouldn't fritter away icy lime here.

The doctor gazed abstractedly after the young man as he moved down the street, and he continued to 2.e after him until he had passed from sight In the shadows that lay beneath the whis pering maple. CHAPTER XIII. PEHHAI'S it showed lack of prop cr feeling, but Oakley managed to sleep off a good deal of his emotional stress, and when he left his hotel the next morning he was quite himself again. His attitude toward the world was the decently cheerful one of the man who Is earning a good salary and whose personal cares are far from be ing numeroua or pressing. He was still capable of looking out for Cor nish's interests, and hla own, too. If the need arose. ! He weut down to the office alert and ! vigorous. As he strode along he nod ded" and smiled at the people he met on the street. If the odium of his fa ! ther's crime was to attach Itself to him It should be without his help. An : tloch might count him callous If It liked, but It must not think him weak. ! Ills first official act was to go for ; Kerr, "ho was unusually cantanker ' ous, and he gave that frigid gentleman j a scare which lasted him for the better . part of a week, for Kerr, who had cou Tlnced himself overnight that Oakley I must resign, saw himself having full ! swing with the nuckleberry and was disposed to treat his superior with airy Indifference. He had objected to bunting up an old order book Dan wished to see on the score that he wns too busy, whereat, as Holt expressed It the lotter "Jumped on him with both feet." His second ofMclnl act was to serve formal notice on lirauyou that te was dismissed from the shops, ne was even band) with Miss Walton, and took exception to her spelling of a typewritten letter which he was send ing off to Cornish in Ixindon. He also Inspected every department In the shops and was glad of an ex cuse he discovered to reprimand Joe Btokes. who was atockkeeper in the carpenter's room, for the slovenly man ner In which the stock was handled. Then be returned to the office and na a matter of discipline kept Kerr busy all the rest of the morning hauling dusty order books from a dark closet. He felt that If excitement waa what was wanted he was the one to furnish It. He had been too easy. Naturally the office force gave a deep sigh of satisfaction when Oakley closed bis desk and announced that he was going uptown and would not return. Miss Walton confided to Kerr tbut she Just hoped he would never come back. It was a little before 3 o'clock when Dan presented himself at the Emory s".

Then she swished from the room, but returned almost Immediately to say that Miss Emory would lie down in a moment When Constance entered the room he advanced u little uncertainly. She ex tended her hand quite cordially, how ever. There was no trace of enibar rasHinent or constraint In her manner. As he took her hand Dnti said sim ply, going straight to the purpose of Us call: "I have thought a good deal over what I want to tell you, Miss Emory."

'Ihere was one tiling she feared lie might wan! to tell her w hich she w is firmly determined not to hear. Oakley drew forward a chair. "Won't you sit down':" he asked gravely. "Thank you. yes." It was all so formal they both smiled. Dan stood with his hack to tile tire place, now tilled with ferns, and rested an elbow on the mantel. There was nu awkward pause. At last he said slow ly : "I; seetas I've been the suhjis-t o' j lot of talk during the last two days, ami 1 have been saddled with a matter f i;' .v 1 . . .
