"Where do you live?" Agnes ask ed him, with sudden directness. What am I, you mean besides a criminal lawyer? I live now near Milwaukee avenue In the city; but was born on Archer, as was my father." "Your father; too?" Cathal smiled. "I know why you ask. You wonder why I speak so, when 1t was my grsndfather that came over, and he a lad.

Do you know Padrlc Colum, the Irish poet and wilted who was over here on tour a few years ago?" 'I went to bear him speak," said Agnes, wondering what now was coming.

"Now you'll say it 7 vny not! un. yon little fool, why not? . . , That damned trial I We'll marry and come back for It Or I'll get yon out of It I" You can't, Jeb." "Was that Irish shyster here?"

He was holding Agnes' memoran dum of what Myrtle Lorrle had said and done, after having shot her husband; and suddenly aware of it he contrasted It to the matter in his mind, and smiled. "The women, Miss Glenelth, used to be much more enduring," be said "They certainly put up with more in those days." . "What days?" "Of the old tales.

Value of Accuracy A I do not know that there is any thing, except it be humility, which is so valuable as an incident of education as accuracy. And accuracy ac-curacy can be taught Direct lies told to the world are as dust in the balance when weighed against th falsehoods of inaccuracy. they are all-pervading. I scarcely etfwhct4suh.ta, if it will but implant in them th habit of accuracy.

CHAPTER VI DAVIS AYItEFORTH lay awake in the dark, with his wife asleep In the bed beside bis. He was not happy; and he was trying to figure out what he could do dif ferently In. order to make Bee admire ad-mire hlra. She still loved him, he believed: for her let It be a proof of love that his wife physically did nothing, In respect to another man. to which he could take exception, and that Bee continued without complaint In deed, only too complalsantly to be bis wife. So Davis said to himself: "She loves me; she loves me. But abe admires Jeb more. , . . She doesn't admire me at all "It's because Jeb Is making so much money," Davis argued with himself. "Money Is all Jeb has that I haven't got "It'a not more money she wants for herself, or for me or for the boys. But she wants me to make more money. . . . I've got to make more money a lot of money, as much, as Jeb Braddon. I can do ltl He has nothing on me!" Jeb, as every one knew, had made millions for himself. To such a star, Davis hitched the weak wagon of his abilities as he wrestled in the dark with his disappointments. Davis' business was canning a good business In Chicago, safe and steady, though never spectacular, and wen suited to Davis, who was by nature a safe, steady person, thongh be tried not to appear so. He was thirty-two, a cheerful, healthy, stocky man of medium height thoughtful of others and tireless when he set out. to do anything. any-thing.
