CHAPTER X X .— (Continued.)
Bhe knew that Mrs. Copeland had In
trusted Leighton with no such mesr
sags, for she was on telephonic terms
with Zelda. and Morris Leighton was
of rather heroic proportions for an er
rand boy.
“Mrs. Copeland would never forgive
me if I forgot,” said Muni», wishing
to prolong his moment at the door.
“I shall come if I can,” said Zelda,
raising her voice slightly, so that ner
father might hear.
“And I apologize again for disturb
ing. But I feared Mrs. Copeland’s
wrath;” and Morris grinned rather
foolishly.
“You are a faithful messenger, and
I thank you very much,” said Zelda,
formally; but when the door closed on
him and she heard his step on the walk
the tears sprang to her eyes in her
Joy at the thought that he had remem
bered !
When she went back to her father
he was poring over his papers at the
table.
“It was that Leighton fellow. I don’t
like him,” said Dameron, sharply.
“ I’m very sorry," said Zeld*’ .
“ I don’t like him,” the old man re
peated; and he did not raise his eyes,
but kept them upon the papers.
“What dreadful liars we are, you
and I, Ezra Dameron," she said, going
back to her old post my the mantel.
“You have used language to me that
is Infamous, blasphemous, from a child
to a father.”
“Very likely,” she said; "but I can’t
discuss these things with you any fur •
ther.”
Leighton’s appearance had broken
the spell; It had given her new cour
age and assurance, though it had not
lifted the burden from her heart. Hor
father was loath to part with her;
there was the extension of the trustee
ship to be effect; he was about to
make an appeal to her, throwing him
self on her mercy, when she said, half
turning to go:
"You need not be afraid—I will sign
your deed. And I have not the slight
est idea of holding you to account for
any of your acts. Only—only”—and
her eyes filled and her voice broke—
“only you must never speak my moth
er’s name to me again!”
“ Yes; yes. I understand,” he said,
absently; though It was clear that he
did not know what she meant.
She turned and looked at him mus
ingly, with a composure that was com
plete; but a barrier In her heart broke
down suddenly.
“ My girlhood, the beautiful ignor
ance of life, has all gone now. It be
gan to go as soon as I came home to
live with you; but I wish—I wish— It
had not gone— so wretchedly, so cruel
ly. Good night.”
She spoke with difficulty, and he saw
that she was deeply moved; and even
after the rustle of her skirts had died
away in the hall above he stood look
ing after her, and listening and won
dering. Then he opened a bundle of
papers containing his computations
and over them in deep absorption.
“She will sign it; she will sign it.”
he repeated, though he did not raise
his head.
He went in and closed the door, mut
tering, “The corn! The corn!"
CHAPTER XXI.
At midnight Leighton sat In the old
house in Seminary Square debating the
situation with Rodney Merriam.
“ What we said to her this afternoon
evidently failed to arouse her. She
either doesn’t understand, or she
doesn’t care.”
"She understands perfectly,” said
Merriam; “but it’s quite like her to
wish to shield him. Her mother did
It before her. It’s a shame for the
money to have gone so; but it was in
evitable. and I’ m glad it’s over now.”
Morris was silent. Rodney Merriam
was growing old and the thought of It
touched him deeply, for Rodney Mer
riam was his best friend, a comrado,
an elder brother, who stood to him for
manliness and courage, much as Carr
represented in his eyes scholarship and
professional attainment.
"You never saw Zelda’s mother?"
asked Merriam, presently.
“ No.”
“ Your father and my sister were
once engaged to be married.” said Mer
riam. “Your father was my intimate
friend. Morris. We were boys togeth
er at college— it’s your college and
mine, too. I’m glad you went there.
Your father would have liked it so.
Some of the fellows who taught us.
taught you. When you saw them you
saw gentlemen and scholars. They
gave up the chance of greater things
to stay there among the elms and ma
ples of the old campus.
"Your father moved here. He was
an ambitious man. There was every
likelihood of his taking a high place at
the bar; and he had. too, a taste for
politics. Then he met my sister. She
was the youngest member of our fam
ily—only a girl at the end of the war.
Bhe was a very beautiful woman. Mor
ris. She and Zee are much alike; but
Zee has marked traits of her own. I
don’t quite account for them.
Her
mother was a quick-witted woman,
well educated for her day. Zee Is more
a woman of the world than her moth
er was and she has more spirit.”
Merriam opened f drawer In his ta
bled and drew out a miniature paint
ed on porcelain. He put on his spec
tacles and studied It intently for a mo
ment before handing it to Leighton.
*Tt was understood in the family
that they were to be married, though
there was never any formal announce
m ent Your father meanwhile was es
tablishing himself. Then Margaret
went East to visit a friend of hers.
When I got back, a little later, I fou id
that It was all off between her and
your father. The girl had never been
away from home before, and the peo
ple the visited put her'through lively
paces It was easy to admlrs her. and
the admiration from strangers went
|a
**ed Marlons wasn’t very gay
in those days, and Margaret had miss
ed a good deal of the social life that
she was entitled to.”
The old man paused, lost In thought,
and Morris was glad of the silence. He
was trying to construct for himself the
past— to see his father as Rodney Mer
riam had painted him, and to see, too
Margaret Merriam as she had been
when his father knew and lqved her.
“There’s no use going into it She
stopped writing to your father with
out any warning that she had changed.
She was completely carried away with
the excitement of her New York ex
periences. She was not ready to settle
down yet a while, she told him. I
supposed It would all come right, for
I had faith In her. She was a true
hearted, gentle woman, but she was
proud and headstrong; and your fath
er had his pride, too. I don’t blame
him for taking it hard. He closed his
office here and went back to Tippeca
noe. I don’t believe they ever saw
each other again. I’m not afraid but
that you will do what is right. You
are the son of your father. I don’ t be
lieve you take things as hard as he
did. Don’t do it. And don’t remember
what I have told you to-night. It’s a
queer story. And it hasn’t any moral
at all. Your father missed something
out of his life— the fine ardor of .iis
younger manhood, maybe. But he had
your mother and he had you. It wasn’t
he that was punished.”
He was silent a moment, and then
blurted out:
“What does Zelda think of Pollock?”
“I don’t know !” Morris rose and
walked the length of the room.
"W hat does she think of you, then?”
demanded Marriam, looking directly at
Morris.
"I think she hates me,” said Morris.
He turned and left the house abruptly,
leaving the old man aione with his
memories.
CHAPTER XXII.
Ezra Dameron sat in the sitting-
room as he always did, waiting for
Zelda to come to breakfast; but as she
stood upon the threshold, whence she
had often called her good-morning, he
did not look up from the newspaper
with his usual smile. She was touch
ed by the pathos of his figure. He
seemed older, more shrunken; his pro
file, as the early light gave It to her,
was less hard. His lean cheeks had
the touch of color they always wore
tn the morning from his careful shav
ing, and his long hair was brushed
back with something more than its us
ual uncompromising smoothness. A
certain primness and rigidity In him
which had often vexed her, struck
only her pity now.
"Father! ”
He rose and turned toward her with
a pathetic appeal In his eyes.
“Good morning, Zee,” he said. Hab
it was strong in him and they usually
went to breakfast as soon as she came
down. He took a step now toward the
dining-room.
“ Father, I wish to speak to you a
moment,” she said, kindly; and he
paused.
“ I am sorry for what hap
pened last night. I was not quite my
self; I said things that will always
trouble me If you— unless you can for
give me. I was wrong— about every
thing. You must let me help, If I can
help you— In any way.”
He said nothing, but stared at her.
“What angered me was that you
weren’t quite frank, father. I didn’t
care about the money. It wasn’t that
—but if things haven’t gone well with
you, I wish to share the burden. No—
I mean It— that I am sorry— let us be
quite good friends again.”
She went up to him quickly and took
his hand.
“ Father,” she said.
“Zee, my little girl—my little girl,”
he began brokenly, touching her cheeks
with trembling hands.
“Yes, father,” she said, wishing to
help him.
*T have been very wicked; I have led
a bad life. I must not harm you; I am
not fit------”
“ You are my father,” she said, and
touched his forehead with her lips,
wondering at herself.
She led him to the table and talked
to him brightly on Irrelevant matters.
The situation was now In her own
hands and she would not fall again.
She usually visited the kitchen after
breakfast to make her list for the gro
cer; but this morning she went back to
the sitting-room with her father. The
autumn morning was cool, and she
bent and lighted the fire.
“ Now,” she said, rising quickly and
smiling at him, "there are those both
ersome business matters that we were
talking about last night I wish to sign
that paper------”
He shook his head.
"You can’t do it, Zee.” The deed had
been tom to pieces and thrown upon
the kindling In the grate— half had al
ready been destroyed.
"That Is probably Just as well. We
shall make a new one,” she said. In a
m atter-of-course tone. ”1 wish you
would tell me, so that I may under
stand. Just what it is that has hap
pened.”
"It's a long story. I thought I should
be able to make a great fortune for
you. It was my greed—my greed.
What I proposed about the deed was
purely selfish—to shield myself. It Is
a grave matter—I have betrayed you—
1 have betrayed your mother's trust I
have robbed you.”
"I haven't been robbed father, and I
don’t Intend that anybody shall use
such words to ms. We »hall make the
deed; no one need ever know that any
thing has happened.”
’'You are kind; you are more than
generous. Zee; but I was mad when I
asked you to re-create the trust last
night I am a bad man; I must face
r v sins; I havs lived a lying, evil life.
I am a thief, worse than a thief.”
” My father can’t be a thief,” she
•aid.
T am a thief—your uncle will see
that I am punished. And It will be
Deuer so— ir only 1 a n not «rag you
down, smirch your name."
Her strength— her readiness to meet
the situation grew as she saw his
weakness.
“ How bad Is It, father; have we any
thing left? Don’t be afraid to tell me.
It’s concealment you must avoid. If
we haven’t a thing------”
Her tone reassured him; he lifted his
head with more courage.
"This house— the place In the coun
try— they are free. They are yours to
day. My investments”—he hesitated
and blinked at the word—"they can not
come back to injure you.”
“Then this house and the farm are
still ours.”
“They are yours, not mine. I have
wasted so much! It was a fortune—
nearly half a million dollars when I
began throwing it away."
“I don’t believe that’s very much.
When you haven’t a million you’ re—
you’re not in It!” and she laughed.
“The loss of anything else isn’t worth
crying over. And then, you might
have made a great deal more out of
It”
He flinched, knowing how culpable
he was; but her generosity and kind
ness were lifting his spirit.
”1 have given you an option on a
piece of ground—you may know It—
out by the creek, and have received a
thousand dollars on account of It. Il
may be binding on you. It grew out
of my necessity. It is not fair for me
to talk to you of these things at all.
You should take advice of some one
else—just as though there were no sort
of tie between us.”
“We are not going to do it that
way,” said Zelda, decisively. “We are
going to understand this between our
selves. Now this strip of ground that
has been practically sold.
What is
there about that?”
“The money should be returned, or
offered to them. Balcomb was manag
ing it------”
“ Mr. Jack Balcomb?— then of course
It wasn’t regular.”
"It was my fault, Zee.”
“ I don’ t believe It. He was contriv
ing a pitfall—that is what might have
been expected of him. And he came to
our house and pretended to be our
friend!”
“Yes; he pretended that; but I pre
tended much more. Deceit is some
thing that feeds on itself.”

Numerous devices for drying wom
en’s hair have been designed recently,
the majority consisting of complicated
^
electrical fans or contriv
ances, which proved per
fectly satisfactory In every
way but entirely imprac
tical In the ordinary home.
Some simple arrangement,
similar to the one recent
ly devised, serves the pur
pose much better.
It consists of a com
bined comb and hair dryer
which in appearance close
ly resembles a pair of
curling Irons. The comb
Is metallic and has a hol
low back, fitting Into which is the
heating iron.
The latter Is In two
parts, forming a spring to hold It In
place when slipped within the hollow
back of the comb. In using this hair
dryer the heating iron Is held over a
gas Jet or other flame until hot and In
serted Into the comb.
The heat is transmitted to the teeth
of the comb, drying the hair as the
comb Is drawn through It. With this
device the hair can be very quickly
and easily dried at the same time as
tho necessary operation of combing
the hair.

Indianapolis, Ind.—When a "trusty”
In a state prison, by a close application
to his work and to his books for a
long period of years, so perfects his
knowledge of building that he can de
sign and superintend the cutting and
erection of steel In an addition to the
prison In which he Is confined and thus
save the state approximately $15,000
In the cost of a building estimated to
cost $90,000, Is he entitled to release?
This question has presented Itself
to Governor Marshall. The prisoner Is
In the state prison at Michigan City.
He has grown gray In his confinement
and was long ago made a "trusty.” He
was originally sentenced for murder,
and several years ago was released on
parole. On complaint r f some of hts
relatives, with whom he became in
volved In a controversy over an estate,
he was returned for violation of his
parole, and has been In the prison ever
since. Now there Is no one to whom
he could go If he were released, and to
let him go would be turning him out
Into the world an aged man, without
friends, and without a place to which
he could turn for shelter and care.
The state prison has become his home,
and he Is too old to seek another. His
Identity the governor does not wish at
this time to make known.
According to the report made to the
governor, the prisoner undertook the
task of drawing the designs for all the
steel to go Into the new cellhouse and
the new hospital for the criminal In
sane, now being constructed. The steel
was cut according to his drawing, and
the builders have not yet found a piece
which did not fit when taken to the
place for which It was designed. While
the erection of the steel, It Is reported
to the governor, has heretofore cost,
at the state prison, from six to seven
cents a hundred pounds, the steel In
the buildings now under way Is costing
for erection only about two cents.
Under the plans Introduced In the
construction of the new cellhouse by
James D. Reid, late warden of the
prison, the building Is being construct
ed at a cost of approximately $300 a
ceil. In view of the fact that in other
states where cellhouses have been con
structed recently, the cells have cost
approximately $1,000 each, the record
being established Is one In which the
state can take Just pride, the governor
holds.
