Her eyes closed, and an ecstatic thrill seemed to convulse her entire being. The birds in the trees overhead sang in more joyfuil chorus iu celebration of the betrothal. W T was nearly 7 o‘clock when Shirâ€" ley got back to Seventyâ€"fourth street. No one saw her come in, and she went direct to her room and after a basty dinner worked until late Into the night on her book to make ‘up for lost time. ‘Theâ€"events of the afternoon caused ber considerable unâ€" easiness. She reproached herself for her weakness and for baving yielded so readily to the impulse of the moâ€" ment. She had said only what was the truth when she admitted she loved Jefferson, but what right had she to dispose of ber future while her father‘s fate was still uncertain? Her conâ€" science troubled ber, and when she eame to reason it out calmly the more impossible seemed their union from evâ€" e Lo uie e i / seves~ Em nee en oo 1 ery point of view. How could she beâ€" come the daughterâ€"inâ€"law of the man who had ruined her own father? The idea was preposterous, and hard as the sacrifice would be Jefferson must be made to see it in that light. ‘Their engagzement was the greatest folly. It bound each of them when nothing but unbappiness could possibly come of it. She was sure now that she loved Jefâ€" ferson. It would be hard to give him up, but there are times and circumâ€" stances when duty and principle must prevail over all other considerations, and this she felt wes one of them. t > | The following morning she received â€" a letter from Stott. He was delighted . to hear the good news regarding her important discovery, and he urged lier to lose no time in securing the letters and forwarding them to Massapequa, when he would immediately go to Washington and lay them before the senate. entary evidence of that conclusiv ure, he went on to say, would p of the very bighest value in clearing herfather‘s name. He added that the judge and her mother were as well as cireumstances would permit and that they were not in the least worried about her protracted abâ€" sence. Her Aunt Milly had already returned to Europe, and Eudoxia was still threatening to Jeave daily. Shiriey needed no urging. She quite realized the importance of acting quickly, but it was not easy to get at the letters. The library was usuâ€" ally kept locked when the great man was away, and on the few occasions when access to it was possible the iynx eyed Mr. Bagley was always on guard. Ehort as had been her stay in the Ryâ€" 1 1 c EtCc "A Story of American e nnn Pn noonaiee i der household Shirley already shared Jefferson‘s antipathy to the English sectetary, whose manner grew more supercilions and everbearing as he drew nearer the date when he expectâ€" ed to run off with one of the richest eatches of the season. He had not .gought the acquaintance of his emâ€" ployer‘s biographer since her arrival P To P 2 900 B tm @SPTD C t 2 and, with the exception of a rude stare, had not deigned to notice her, which attitude of haughty indifference was all the more remarkable in view of the fact that the Hon. Fitzroy usually left mothing anturned to cultivate a firtaâ€" tious intimacy with every attractive female he met. The truth was that :Mt with Mr. Ryder‘s demands upon is services and his own preparations for his coming matrimonial venture, in which be bad so much at stake, he had neither time nor inclination to induige hils customary amorous diversions. ‘Miss Roberts had called at the house soveral .times. ostensibly to see Mro.

She gave away large sums for charitable purposes and, strange to say, when the gift came direct from hber the money was never returned on the plea that it was "tainted."

Quite a friendship _ sprang up between the two women, _ and when tired of writing Shirley p would go into Mrs. Ryder‘s room and , chat until the financier‘s wife began to , look forward to these little impromptu visits, so much she enjoyed them. Shir Nothing more had been said concernâ€" Ing Jefferson and Miss Roberts. ‘The young man had not yet seen his father, but his mother knew he was only wait ing an opportunity to demand an explaâ€" nation of the engagement announceâ€" ments. Her husband, on the other hand, desired the match more than ever, owing to the continued importuâ€" nities of Senator Roberts. As usual, Mrs. Ryder confided these little domesâ€" tic tronmbles to Shirley. "Jefferson," she said, "is very Angry.

"What obj;Efl:):‘Bru’jonr son to \iss Roberts?" inquired Shirley innoâ€" cently. * "Oh, the usual reason," sighed the mother, "and I‘ve no doubt he knows best.
