IIE next morning at breakfast Alfred Bishop announced his Intention of going to Atlanta ;i ; to talk to Perklps and lncf- dentally to cull on his brother William, who was a successful wholesale merv , chant lu that city.

A body could hear his deathknoll rung every mtuute ef hed Jest listen to old women an Old bachelors, Interpolated Abner. I reckon they are alike.' The longer a man lives without a wvmiau the more he gits like one. I reckon thats becase the man at lives with one dont see nothin' wutb copyln in er an O' .. Mrs. Bishop bad never been an appreciative listener to her brothers philosophy,. She Ignored what he had just said and Its accompanying smile, which was always Abners subtle apology for such observations. Are you goin to tell Adele about the railroad? she asked. I reckon' I wont tell er to git up a excursion over It fore the crossties Is laid, retorted Bishop sharply, and Abner Dauiol laughed, that sort of response being in his own vein. I was goin' to say, pursued the Boftly treading wife, that I wouldn't mention It to er ef ef Mr. Perkins aint to be relied on, becase she worries enough already about our pore way o livin compared to' her uncles folks. Ef she knowed how I spent- last ulght, shed want to come back. But I aint to let Brother Ab skeer me yet.. It Is jest too awful to think about What ou earth would we do? What would we, I say? That afternoon Bishop was driven to Parley by a uegro boy who was to bring the buggy back home. He first repaired to u barber shop, where he was shaved, had his hair cut and his shoes blacked; then he went to the station half an hour before tilne and Impatiently walked up and down the platform till the train arrived. It was 0 oclock when be reached Atlanta and made his way through the jostling crowd In the big passenger depot out Into the streets. He had his choice of going at once to the residence of his brother, on Peachtree street, the most fnshiouable avenue of the city, or looking up Perkins lu his office. lie decided to unburden his mind by at once calliug ou the lawyer, whose office was in a tall building quite near at hand. It was the hour at which Perkins usually left for home, but the old planter found him lu. Oil. Its you, Mr. Bishop. he said suavely as he rose from bis desk in the dingy, disordered little room, with Its single window. He pushed a chair forward. "Sit down; didn't know you were in town: at your brothers, I reckon. Ilow are the crops up the road? Too much rain-las- t mouth. Pm afraid. Blsl;op sank wearily Into the chair.' ne had tired himself out thinking over j what lie would say to the man before him and with the awful contemplation of what the man might say to him. They are doin as well as can be ex pected, he made answer. But he didnt approve of even that platitude, for he yns plain and outsixken and hadnt come all that distance for a mere exchange of courtesies. Still, he lacked the faculty to approach easily the subject which had grown so heavy hours and within the last twenty-fou- r of which he now' almost stood In terror. Well, that's good. returned Ter' kins.. lie was a swarthy man of fifty-.fiv- e or sixty, rather tall 'and slender, with a bald head that sloped back sharply from heavy, Jutting brows, under which a pair of keen hlack eyes Come tlowu to shone and shifted., see your daughter, he said; good thln'g for her that you have a brother in town, By the way, hes a fine type of a man. lies making headway, too. - ' , ' , Gty, Ut .

Now. fealty. the ou'y. thing that has woract ried me has been your hi buying all that land from the Tompkins heirs at such a low figure when the railroad will advance Its value so greatly.

Jeer all you but ' I can handle like, cried Bishop, ' ' this. fer , you , .You are not ns well vprsed In the law ns you are lu fertilizers, Mr, BishIn order to op. sneered the lawyer. paake a case agninst me youd have to publicly betray a matter 1 told to you In cadence, and then what would you gain? 1 doubt If the court would force me to explain n private matte? like this where the in ten sts of my clients are concerned, and If' the court did I could simply show the letters I have regarding the possible construction of a railroad In your section,.' If you remember rightly. I did uot ,say the thing was au absolute' certainly.' On top of all this youd be' obliged to prove collusion between me1, and, the Tompkins heirs over a sale made by their attorney, Mr. Trabue. There Is one thing certain, Mr. Bishop,. and that Is that you have forfeited your' right to uny further 'confidence In this matter. If the rond Is built, you'll find out almut It with the of yqur peo pie. You think you acted wisely In at, tucking me this ivay, but 'you ' have simply cut off your nose to spite your, face. Now, I have a long car rde before me, and Its growing late, ' Bishop stood, up. ,IIe was quivering as , with . palsy. Ills vMce shook and rang like that of t. madman. ' You are a scoundrel Verkins, he said a dirty blncksnake In the grass! I want to tell you that!, ; WelL I' hope you wont. make any charge for It. "No; if s free. Bishop turned to the door. There was a droop upon bis whole body. IJe dragged nis feet as he moved out Into the unlighted corridor, where he paused Irresolutely. So great was his agony that he almost obeyed an Impulse to go back and fall at the, feet ef Perkins and implore his aid to rescue him and his family from impending ruin. The lawyer was moving about the room, dosing his desk and drawing down the window shade. Its no use." sighed Bishop as he made his wpy downstairs. Im ruined! Alan an Adele haiut a cent to their names, gn that devil Bishop paused on the first landing like an animal at. bay. He heard the steady step of Perkins on the floor above, and for a moment his fingers tingled with the thought of waiting there, in Jhe darkness and choking the life out of the subtle scoundrel who had taken advantage of his credulity. , . f But with a groan that was half a prayer he went on down the steps and out Into the lighted streets. At the first corner he saw a car which would take him to his brothers, and he hastened to cnteli It. William Bishops bouse was a modern brick structure, standing on a well clipped lawn which held a Gothic summer house and two or three marble statues. It was in the best portion of the avenue. Benching it, the planter left- the car and approached the iron gate which opened on to the granite steps leading up the terrace. It was now quite dark. Obeying a sudden the old man Irresolutely impulse, paused by the gate and walked farther . ' i up the street. Somehow I dont feel one bit like I couldnt tell Wilit, he mused. liam. He'd think I wanted to borrow money an ud git slceerd right off. He always was nfeerd Id mismanage. An then Id hate to spIle Adeles visit, an she could tell thar was somen wrongby me bein heer in sech a flurry. I reckon I do show It. Ilow could a body liep it? Oh. my Lord, have mercy! Its all gone, all all men . Betsy has saved. He turned at the corner of his brothers property and i slowly retraced his halting steps to the gate, but he did not pause, continuing his wayback toward the station. A glance at, the lionse showed that all the lower rooms were lighted, as well as the big pris-matic lamp that hung over the front door. Bishop saw forms In light summer clothing on the wide veranda Ill bet that tallest one Is gis, 1 I Jest wish I could j said pathetically. see er ,a little while.

Im the land porest hian in my county." Beaching, the station, he Inquired about n train to Dnrley and was told that one left at midnight. He decided to take It and sat In one of the Iron armed seats without moving till he Hoard bis train announced," , Then he went Into the smoking car; and sat ' down in a corner's i He reached i. parley at half past, 3 in - , r -- - , C.

Per-- , kins eyes fluttered onc.e or twice before. his gaze steadied Itself on the face of the man before him. Well, as I told you, Mr. Bishop, that sort of a thing. is a good investment 1 reckon its already climbing up a little, aint ' it? ; Not muchyet. It struck Bishop thatjrlie liadyen the lawyer a splen, did opportunity to speak of the chief cause for omadvauce In value, and his heart felt heavier as he finished. "But I took quite a slice the last time 5,000 acres at the old figure, you know a dollar a acre. You dont Bay! That was a slice. Bishop drew himself up in his chair and Inhaled a deep breath. It. was as If he took Into himself In that way the courage to make his next remark. I got it from the Tompkins estate. You dont say! I didnt know they had that much on hand. Sence I bought the laud Ive accidentally heerd that you ate some kin o that family." j Perkins started slightly and raised his brows. Oh, yes! On my wifes side, away off, some way or other. 1 believe the original Tompkins that settled .there from Virginia was my wifes grandfather. I never was much of a hand to go Into such matters." When I heerd that,..rerklns, it was natural fer me to wonder why yon. j;ou see why you didnt tell them about the railroad. v, , The sallow features of the lawyer seemed to stiffen. He. drew himself up coldly and a wicked expression flushed In his eyes. Take my advice, old man, he snarled as he threw down his pen and stared doggedly Into Bishop's face. Stick to your farming and don't waste your time asking a professional lawyer questions which have no bearing on your business whatever. Now. really, do I have to expluin to you my personal reasons for not favoring the Tompkins- people with a I may say any piece of information?' Bishop was now as white as death, nis worst suspicious! were confirmed he was a ruined man; there was no further doubt ajjout that.
