Finley dis- covers that Raynor is tyrannizing over Nancy and is 'ncensed. Finley goes to Flower Acres in the company of a friend, Ezra doddan'.. At Flower Acres he sees Nancy, Nancy's brother, Orville Kent; Raynor; Raynor's sis- ter. Miss Mattie, and others. Finley notices that his conversation.! with Nancy are listened to intently by Ray- nor and Mis: Mattie. Miss Mattie vows to herself that sh'' will find out the true state of affairs between Fin- Wy and sancy; Nar.cy decides that she will cease being friendly to Raynor in order to lift them above suspicion; and Finley, anfrry, decides to ".settle Raynor's hash" if he continues to Hiis- trcat Nancy. Now Finley strolls into the pardens. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Uoubtlecis she was in some green- house, or behind sni.e sheltering trees, but he could: 't find her. Wandering aimlessly, he came upon .'. small housj â€"a very small house. It was built T.eai a shiny, ripply brook, and was both picturesque and comfortable in its effects. On its alsurdly small porch sat an absurdly large man. Finley had a fleet- ing thought of Big Bruir in Tiny Cub's chair. "Good day." he said, pleasantly, and the man on the porch nodded indiffer- ently. "Belong to the Raynor estate?" Fin- ley's glance took in the house. "Yep. Any o' your business?" "Not th> least. Good day." "Hey, wait a mini.tp. Don't l)e .io Bwful swift in your proceedjer. Y'ou i. friend of the f mily?" SIMPLE WINDOW LOCK.

The man apparently appreciated the good-natured mockery, and laugh- ed, "C'mon up on the porch," he in- vited. "Just for a minute then," and Fin- ky took a proffered seat. "Wonder- ful gardens these." "That's right. My work's more won- derful, though. So's Orville Kent's." "His is astronomy, 1 know. What's ycurs?" "Bugology. Entomology, you know. And I had this shack right here by the water so's I c'd study water- beetles and the fifty-'Ieven other in- sects round about. Like that sort o' thing?" "I think 1 should il I knew more about it. Are you â€" cr â€" in Mr. Ray- nor's cmuploy?" "No; I ain't in nobody's employ. Fm my own master. But I make my It ports." What he did with the reports he made Finley didn't wait to hear, for he caught a glimi)se of Nr.i.'s blue garden smock, and he strode off. Again, however, the quar -y eluded him. Ho stood a minute, reconnoitcring, when what seemed to be a young whirlwind bore down upon him. "Oh, sir, how do you do? Who are you? A fairy prince.' Mine- come to claim m;' hand?" The speaker was a girl of about fourteen, her bobbo<l hair flying, her little frock of knitted wool open at the throat and ricf at the knees, her Tarn perched on one side of her tousl- ed head, and her round, bonny young* face laughing with glee. "I'm Polly Fay," she announced. "I'm a neighbor of the Raynors and I live just ac-oss that brook." "There's a .nan lives almost in tho brook," Finley informed he â- . "Yes, I knew. Old Grimes Gannon, the bug man. Ho collect.4 beetles and .ipidors and grasshoppers and â€" " "And th'.ir ilk." Finloy (ini-hrcl for her.

Do you like me?" "Very much." ".So do I you. Como on." She ran ahead and it took Finley's longest strides to keep up with her. .\t last, sure enough, she brought him to a sunken garde.., whose depth had hidden Nan from view, "Good morning," she .said, with a little constraint in her tone but an irrepressible smile of welcome in her eyes. "Hello, Dolly" she went on. "havft you scraped acquaintance with Mr. Finley?" "Yes, he thinks me adora'jlc' And I think he's enchanting. But, Nan, I sec you want to be alune with him â€" so trn la la â€" " md she danced away, laughing. "Stop, Dolly! Come back here!" but the girl-child's ringing laughter was the only reply. There was silence. â- ^ Wistful, pathetic, Nan's eyes rose to meet the ones that looked down on her with infinite kindness. "What can I do for you?" Finley said. "Nothing," she returned, blankly. "There's nothing to be done. You see how things are." "I see. Why did you marry him. Nan?" Though the voice was ger.tle, the inflection almos*; caressing, Nancy keep wutch and ward that no harm comes to you." "Please, Malcolm, I'.on't!" "Ah, so my little plan worked, did it? I followed you <lown here, Mr, Finley," These opening words were followed by the appearance of Miss Mattie from . round tho corner of the group of eve greens, "boca'jsc I i>lt sure that you \;oi.li' be niaking love to my brother's wife. Ah, ha!" Her thin old fac- took on a diaboli- cal look of glee, and she peered into the face of each with a triumphant leer. "Why, Miss Mattie, you here?" said finley, quickly. "That's good. And you will have your little joke. Now, own up, you heard me asking Mrs. Raynor to have more burglar protec- tion down here. More trained men to keep watch and wird over her valu- ables. Don't you agree with me?" "Is that what you were talking about?" Miss Mattie said, thought- fully, and with a shade of lisappoint- nient on her face. "Yes," said Finley, delighted that he had at least partly convinced her. 'â- There should be a small corps of night watchmen and more house pro- tection besides " "Why noes it interest yo'j so neep- ly; Ml. Finley?" "Oil, I'n: not in the business â€" don't thini- I'm a burglar-alarm .igont, but I see the necessity for bettor protec- tion. I'm surprised that so able a man BR Rnynor doesn't see it that way himself." "Yes, my brother ir, an able man, but he's the sort whose mind is above "AH, .SO :.IV MTTI.E PLAN WORKED, DIL IT? 1 FOLLOWED YOU DOWN HERE." Raynor straightened up and turned a cold glance on him. "Because I chose to. Mill. I do not regret it." "You don't! Well, by heaven, I do! The mere thou.?ht of you, you, Nan, linked to that cloii, that beast â€" " ".Stop! My husband is neither a clod nor a beast. He is a great man and a great scholar." "(ireat man bo blowed. Great scholar be hanged! Is ho a great hus- band to you? Is he evea a decent^ husband? Is he good to you? Answer me, Nan â€" answer me!" Finley had giasped her two hands in his own, and stood eagerly gazing down into her frigntened face. "Don't oh, Jon't!" she cried. "He will como â€" he's always on watch â€" and he will see you â€" and ^e will kill me!" "I shall kill him â€" if he has you in this state of abject fear, this condition of utter subj ction!" "But he has â€" both .lose things are true. I can't help it â€" and â€" you can't help nie." "I will help you. Nanâ€" I must. I'm a fi.xer, a straightener-out of wrong cDiulitions. You shall be freed from that bruteâ€"" "Stop, Malcolm." Her voice was <iuiet now, and icily calm. "1 don't want you to say those things, They mean nothing and they hurt me." "Nan," Finley took her by the shoulders nd looked deep into her dark eyes. "Nan, do. you kve him?" "How could I, Malcolm?" she said, simply. "Then why did you marry him?" "That I cannot t-11 youâ€"" "Why, Nan? Why, Nan, dear?" Finley's voice was tender, his gaze wa.s compelling, but she shrank away from him, :ajing: "Don't be kind to meâ€" oh, Malclom, don't! I can't bear it." "I don't understand, dear, butâ€" I'm going to. You know I love you, Nan â€" oh, don't bo afraid, I'm not going to tell you so, but I have always loved you, and even though you threw me over for l{aynor, I'm still going to domestic details. He leaves all such to Nan." "Thai's wh" I'm trying to persjad: .Mrs. Raynor to attend to it or to let me do it for her. I'll take up the mat- ter with your hu3band, if you say so, .Airs. Raynor." "You were calling her Nan when I came up," Miss Mattie spoke sus- piciously. "Oh, we wore old friends, and I believe we did use to use first names. I'.ut it's a more formal situatio.i now. Shall we go to the house, it's almost luncheon- time?" Thr three strolled ai >r.n: tho flower- bouleied walks, and, as they reached the terrace, Dolly Fay flew to greet thoni.

Chrises ASSORTED SANDWICH 9he ies Biscuits The Home of the Free Quebec Evenement (Cons.): Ofll- cial llgures recently published estab- lish the fact that UO per cent, of the private wealth of the United States is In the tiands of the very rich, who, with their families, repre.sent scarcely lU per cent, of the population. The other side of the qustlon, according to the figures o( the American Fcdei^ atlon of Labor, Is that there are more than a million and a half unemployed in the Land of the Br.ivo, and that the average salary of I he working man is only $25 a week. The distribution of wealth and work is therefore not much happier than In Britain, that land ot class distinction which Ihe American papers get such delight In criticizing. To complete our informa- tion on the true conditions ot the country, which Is claimed to be the richest In the world to-day, we must add that. In the Southern States, n state of half-slavery continues to relKn to the detriment of whites as well as blacks. Bocause of tho social Interlority In which the black Is held, in this part of the North American Continent, rural .ind domestic employ- ment Is looked ('. )wn upon. The result Is c lowering ni salaries, the effect of which are felt as far ..way as Now England. Hon.

"I heartily agree," said the Premier, as he took his seat. "No doubt of It â€" the girls are wearing less and less each year." There was a roar of laughter, In which the Premier joined, when his very natural mistake had been ccplaiied to him. U«e Mlnard't Liniment for the Flu. li'S ONE PIECE! .

How Gloria Swanson, tlie famous cinema star, recently scored over tho big guns of th.4 moving picture Indus- try at Hollywood makes an amusing story. Dressing herself up in old-fas- hioned clothes, and wearing a wig ol grey hair over her own glorious lock* she went the round of the studios beg< ging for w^ork as a super. Marvelloui to relate, she was turned down every- where, and some of the men to wbon she applied so far forgot their good manners as to m ke game of her. Bu( the laugh was on her side in the end, tor the whole business was a carefully thought-out publicity stunt.
